Caroline was fantastic!!! Highly recommend her!!! She was very mindful of our doodle on their walk! Lots of pictures! She even let our 2nd much older dog (who can’t walk much) out while she was heading out as a just in case. We’re so thankful!

About: I have been very passionate about animals and the environment since I was 3 years old! I grew up around so many animals and it encouraged me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. At a very young age I was introduced the opportunity to petsit for dogs and cats/kittens in my family. Later around 8 years ago I was able to start working in a more professional manner and cared for not only cats, kittens, and dogs but birds, different reptiles, and some aquatic pets! All these experiences are amazing and they just motivate my love and passion for animals. I have worked with pets of all ages as well as many with special diets and medications. Aside from my experience, I am a very energetic person! I love to go on hikes, runs, bikes, you name it! You can rest assured that your fur babies will get all the love, care, and enjoyment with me! I am an undergraduate student and I am currently a vet technician/assistant practicing with a couple clinica , which allows me plenty of time to care for your lovely fur babies! My availability is very flexible right now. I do have a large fenced yard! I have 1 energetic doggie named Milo and 2 cats named Blue and Maya Papaya. Milo does have social anxiety, so I will keep separate in order for both parties to feel comfortable. And for my cats they are very soft, kind, and friendly with everyone including dogs. You can rest assured that your baby is in great hands, as my top priority is their trust, comfort, and health!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: If you want your pet to have the pamper treatment, you’ve come to the right place! I am very responsible and caring and I’m quick to learn whatever makes your pet happiest. Whether it be belly rubs, baths, play time, or going outside I am willing and able to take care of your pet like they are my own! I am a project manager, so I am highly adaptable and very organized, but was recently let go due to budget cuts - currently job hunting so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I love caregiving and have tons of love to give! Will happily follow any feeding/walking/medicine schedule you need. I lived on my own for 7 years before moving back into my parents’ house to save up for my own. I am very responsible and capable of taking care of a home if housesitting is needed. I always follow whatever rules my client has for their pet; climbing on furniture, cleanliness, and food intake, etc. If sitting in the clients home - I will respect your space and am known to leave things in better condition than I found them.

About: Hi! My name is Bella. I’ve had years of experience caring for animals: dog and cat sitting, dog walking, puppy care (including caring for newborn puppies). My family has always had dogs of our own as well, including many rescue dogs over the years. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and offer a flexible schedule to suit you and your pet’s needs. I’m currently working part time and can adjust my schedule to your pets needs and can manage walks, playtime, etc. in between my current schedule. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I live across the street from a big field and usually take pups on walks there or around my neighborhood. I can also take them to a fenced in park nearby if the owner is okay with that. Although I work part time close by I’m around most of the day so your pup will have plenty of attention and play time!

About: I’ve been taking care of my two dogs at home since they were puppies! I love and care for all animals and would be happy to walk your furry friends 🐾🐾🐾 I have a part time job so I have a more flexible schedule! I also have a car so I’m able to drive to any home that needs me in the area I fully respect any boundaries and directions owners have in their own homes. Since I have my own dogs I know how each dog differs from the other and needs special care and attention which I’m happy to give.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes as naturally to me as anything. When I got my puppy four years ago, I dedicated myself fully to his training and development, spending every day with him through those early months to make sure he grew into the happy, well-behaved dog he is today. I also have experience with the more challenging side of pet care. My older dog had diabetes, and I spent a great deal of time managing his condition, administering medication daily, and making sure his final years were as comfortable and loving as possible. It taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Beyond my own dogs, I've spent years babysitting, walking, and watching dogs for friends and neighbors. Animals have always been drawn to me, as I have a natural calm with them that puts even shy or anxious pets at ease. While I'm new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience. Whether it's a long walk, a trip to the park, or just cuddling up with their favorite toys, I pour real love into every visit. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I'll treat them like my own every single time. I recently graduated from college and will be starting my Master of Social Work program at NYU in September. I am available all summer and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I'm currently based in Plainview, Long Island, where I'm free and flexible for any and all pet care needs throughout the summer. Come September, I'll be living in New York City, where I'll be available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and open to extended stays on weekends. Whether you're on Long Island or in the city, I'd love to help care for your pup! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience both crating and not crating dogs, so I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup. If needed, I can crate them safely when stepping out, or leave them with a frozen treat and a favorite toy to keep them calm and comfortable, especially if they experience separation anxiety, as my own dog does! I tailor every visit to the individual dog. Whether your pup needs a long, energetic walk or a short and easy stroll, I'll follow their lead. I'm always attentive on walks, making sure they don't pick up anything harmful off the street, and equally watchful in the home to keep them safe and out of trouble. Most importantly, your dog will never be short on love. I'll give them all the pets, cuddles, and attention they could ever want because I truly love animals!!

About: Hi everyone! With 6 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, I absolutely love what I do and treat every pet like my own. My background includes working part-time for a family with 7 dogs of all sizes, which taught me how to handle multiple pets and diverse personalities seamlessly. I currently have two adorable cats and have raised dogs of my own in the past, so I understand both dog and cat needs inside and out. I am very active, I love being on the move and ensuring your pets get all the exercise, long walks, and playtime they need. Being around animals is not only something I excel at, but it is also something I truly enjoy and find incredibly rewarding! I am a master's student right now- so I have multiple days off per week and spend lots of time at home studying, which gives me ample opportunity to fit your pets into my weekly schedule. Because I have a strong background in babysitting, I am completely comfortable, responsible, and mindful of privacy and boundaries while working inside someone else's home. I make sure your pets feel safe and secure in their own environment by sticking strictly to their familiar feeding schedules, keeping their water fresh, administering any medication, and keeping their spaces clean. I'm also super active, so I fill our time together with long walks, high-energy playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention so they never feel lonely. Ultimately, I treat your home and your pets with the exact same care, love, and respect that I give to my own.

About: I’ve been walking dogs for the past three years, never had a problem with any size or breed. I’m fine with early mornings and late nights :) I am currently a part-time student and a part-time cashier, I know how to deal with almost anything your dog can throw at me. Yes I’m young, but I’m very confident in my vigilance and patience. I live in the best part of my neighborhood, and I always keep protection on me if anything happens. Your dog will be in good hands :)

We are so so grateful for Caroline! She’s on top of communication and came out to meet our dogs before she started doing walks. She’s done a number of walks for us now! She stayed in touch and accommodated even our most random requests like pulling things out of our freezer for our dogs to use after their walks. We will continue to reach out to her as long as she’s available!! Thank you for being so great to our girls!

I reached out to Abigail super last minute as I had to take a last minute trip and she didn’t hesitate to help. She walked Nala three days straight, followed all instructions, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nala was in such caring hands while I was away in Florida. I will absolutely book again!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Melville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Melville on Rover is $38.85 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 25,640 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Melville. 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 Melville. 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 Melville.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Melville. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
