About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and now have my own boy, Larry. I’m new to rover after using rover for my own pup but I am very comfortable walking all kinds of dogs whether they are friendly or ver nervous. I also have some expertise giving medications to dogs as well! I currently work Monday-Friday 9-5 so I would be available weekdays after 6pm. I have random wfh days that I would also be able to leave for a bit to walk your dog! On weekends I am generally available depending on my schedule! I am not able to take dogs in my house however, in someone else’s house, I will abide by any and all rules to keep your space clean and respected!
“Wei Han came to my rescue my first day living in the UWS when I needed a last minute walker. She took my son on a long walk and took lots of photos. She even wiped his paws for me and used my lock box easily. So great working with her!”
“I have a feeling Adolfo has become my pug’s new best friend. He has been diligently handling dog walks with us for a few months — great communication that shows a lot of love and care. If Dumplin is happy, mama is happy. Thanks, buddy!”
“Bridgett takes great care of Nala! As a baby she has a lot of needs and Bridget is very attentive and not forcing her to walk when she’s too tired. We have hired Bridgett twice now and look forward to the next!”
“Had an initial walk together today with Euitae and his dog Winston, super friendly and they were both very good with my dog Neptune. Looking forward to more bookings with Euitae in the future!”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful with my dog Bailey! She sent pictures and kept me posted on everything. She’s so friendly as well! My dog was in great hands!”
“I am so happy I reached out because they were so helpful on such short notice and took great care of my dog Onyx! Very punctual and Onyx was very happy to see them. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis is the best! She's done both walking and house-sitting for our energetic yellow lab, and I can tell that our dog is having all her needs met and also having a great time with her. Bonus points for the truly spectacular photos and updates from their adventures together!”
“Mariana has been amazing so far! Our dog, Ella, recently completed a 6 week board and train program so there is a lot of training that we're working to maintain. Mariana has been great to work with and has been eager to learn more about the training that Ella has gone through so she knows what to do and when. It's easy to see that she has a passion and love for dogs. She's been reliable and easy to communicate with! Will definitely continue to rely on her when it comes to Ella's needs!”
“Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.”
About: I was born and raised on a farm in Tennessee! I’ve worked with and cared for many animals my whole life, including 6 dogs and 5 cats! I’m a student and working part-time, so my schedule is usually more flexible in the mornings or on my days off! Always happy to work in a pet! I will always leave your space as I found it and stay focused on making sure your pet is cared for how you see fit!
“Andrea is prompt and responsible! She took good care of my pup on his potty breaks during the recent heat wave, making sure he drank plenty of water and cooled down by the AC!”
“Brandon was amazing with my dogs! One of my dogs is very shy and usually takes a long time to trust new people. Instead of rushing her, Brandon was incredibly patient and gentle, giving her all the time she needed to feel comfortable and safe. By the second walk, she was already excited to go with him and came back super happy! He’s reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I’ve already recommended him to friends and booked more walks with him. Highly recommend!”
“Megan walked our dog Luna and was amazing!! She arrived on time and had great communication. We appreciated the cute photos and summary about the walk. We would definitely rebook and also highly recommend!!”
“Rachel was great with Ollie! She was so accommodating and easy going. Oliver is just a puppy and she did great with walking him while I was at work and giving him some time to play and eat! Updated me with pics and her visit thoroughly after which was very much appreciated! Will be booking with her again!”
“Michel was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pup and made sure she had a fun and safe walk. Her communication was excellent, and it’s clear she really loves what she does. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and can’t wait to book her again!”
“Marie is a reliable and attentive sitter & walker to my 2 dogs. One of them is especially difficult at times and Maire is patient and creative with her idiosyncracies. I trust Marie to take care of my babies when I cannot. 1000% recmomend”

Stephanie was excellent with my dog! From the start she was communicative, warm, relaxed, and flexible. Stephanie was great with my dog and I’m glad it all worked out well! She was reliable and also sent photos throughout the booking time which was great! Would book with her instantly again!
Neil was very communicative and easy to meet up with. He followed all of my instructions/request. He took very good care of my little girl while I was on vacation. Considering this being my first time using this app I give it and Neil a 10/10 rating and would recommend him to anyone. I will absolutely give Neil a shout if I need him in the future.
Katelynn is incredibly helpful, reliable, and flexible. I wasn’t feeling well and needed someone to walk Bobby on very short notice, and Katelynn was so accommodating and made everything easy. I really appreciate how dependable and caring she is with Bobby. Highly recommend Katelynn!
It has been such a delight working with Mel. I was such at ease knowing I can trust my little fur baby in her hands my vacation was peaceful and magical... ✨️✨️✨️ Mel communicated/shared photos with me at all times making sure I was in peace. I recommend Mel to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter as she is very polite, punctual, loves animals and very professional.
I booked Euitae pretty last minute and he was immediately responsive and helpful. He set up a meet and greet that day outside my building. He was great with Ozy, and communicated with me at the start and end of their walk. I would definitely leave Ozy with him again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Manhattan on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 28,759 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 your Manhattan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Manhattan.

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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
