“Ash has been an amazing help with my two pups. They love when she comes to walk them and haven’t had any issues with her meeting our requested times or with their walks.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for around 11 years now being my own two dogs(one big and one little) and also other dogs and cats around my neighborhood! I love checking in on them, feeding them, and taking them out to play and walk! I am in college but take a lot of online classes so my schedule makes it very easy to do drop ins or take walks during the day! When it comes to safety and trust, having two dogs of my own I understand how important the safety of pets is! I will make sure to do everything to make the dogs feel comfortable and safe in there own home with me there, and also when I leave making sure they feel safe and sound!

“Zoe is the best!! Of all walkers, my dog liked her best and maybe it’s because she brought him treats. Hahah. She took time to meet with us prior to booking to make sure we were a good match. Very communicative, responsive, and took great care of my pup. Definitely recommend!”

One male 2 years old lab that is a crazy loving little man who will play well with anyone!

About: Serving Clay Center KS Junction City, KS and surrounding areas as well I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and have vast experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, needs, and species. I am very physically active and can provide fast paced walks or runs for the more energetic dogs. I’m very intuitive with animals and am able to adjust my energy to suit their needs and requirements for a more peaceful interaction. I spent about 2 years volunteering at my local dog shelter, as the dog exerciser and obedience trainer, producing excellent results. I was a former Security Forces member in the United States Air Force- attention to detail and integrity are engrained in me. I love picking up pet care jobs on the side whenever I can. I work several part time jobs as a welder, personal trainer, and reiki practitioner. I love having a variety of jobs to do- especially when it involves animals! If I am caring for your pet(s) in your home, they will be very well taken care of. They will receive loads of love and attention and your home will also be in excellent hands. While on walks, I am very attentive and cautious of all possibilities and situations, ensuring that your pet will never get loose or harmed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Manhattan is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $23 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Manhattan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Manhattan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Manhattan after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
