“Joshua came to walk my pups on a rainy day. This is the most difficult time to walk them as they hate rain and are shy around new people. He did great! He took them both out and checked in with me to keep me up to speed and if he had any questions. I have trouble taking them out in rainy days so 10/10 will definitely book again!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats, I absolutely love them. I've walked dogs professionally since a young age. I also exclusively walked 3 beautiful dogs for 5 days a week for about 2 years. I will watch big dogs if they are very well behaved and or trained. Starting in November my schedule is wide open, I'm happy and willing to help with all of your dog and cat needs! If your pet doesn't match my willing to take, reach out anyway and I may make it work. I'm very comfortable with doing whatever your dog or cat needs. I've had lots of different dogs and cats that have all needed different types of care.

About: Hello! I'm Mayleth. I'm 24 years old. I'm an English student. Since I was 12 years old I have had pets (dogs and cats) I also rescued, cared for and gave up abandoned animals for adoption, I have always loved the animal theme, I think that animals They are wonderful beings who come into our lives to give us a little peace and love, and they deserve to be treated with respect, affection and patience. Currently I have taken care of cats, dogs and axolotls, I have been taking care of pets in this country for approximately 4 years, if you need someone to take care of your pet, do not hesitate to contact me! I currently work part-time, but my schedule is usually flexible so I can adapt to the times and days when you need a trusted pet sitter. I always try to ensure that the animals are calm and feel safe, that is why I like to take care of them in their homes, since it is an environment where they feel at peace, safe and confident, which is a very important factor. since there are some animals that, being in an unknown place, can become nervous and insecure. If you require walks or something more common in your routine, I will gladly do it! I always think about making them feel comfortable and happy. Hola! Soy Mayleth, tengo 24 años, soy estudiante de inglés. Desde que tenía 12 años he tenido animales de compañía (perros y gatos) también rescataba, cuidaba y daba en adopción a animales en condición de abandono, siempre me a encantado el tema animal, pienso que los animales son seres maravillosos que llegan a nuestras vidas a darnos un poco de paz y amor, y merecen ser tratados con respeto, cariño y paciencia, actualmente he cuidado gatos, perros y axolotes, llevo en este país cuidando animales de compañía aproximadamente 4 años, si necesitas a alguien que cuide a tu animal de compañía, no dudes en contactarme! Actualmente trabajo a tiempo parcial, pero mis horarios suelen ser flexibles por lo que puedo adaptarme a los horarios y días en los que necesites un cuidador de confianza para tu mascota. Siempre trato de que los animales estén tranquilos y se sientan seguros, por esa razón me gusta cuidarlos en sus casas, ya que es un ambiente en donde ellos se sienten en paz, seguros y confiados, lo cual es un factor muy importante. Ya que hay algunos animales que al estar en un lugar desconocido se pueden poner nerviosos e inseguros. Si requieren de paseos o alguna otra cosa normal en su rutina con todo el gusto lo haré! Siempre pienso en que ellos se sientan cómodos y felices.

About: Hi there! My name is Anya and I am a college student in NYC. All my life I have been surrounded by dogs and cats. Feeding and walking animals have been a part of my daily routine since I can remember. In my hometown, I frequently house sat and dealt with old, young and sick pets with care and feel comfortable doing so. Since moving to the city, I miss my dogs terribly, so I know this will be enjoyable work for me! I am an extremely Covid conscious person, triple vaccinated and continue to take precautions.I am available to house sit, do check-in’s and dog walks. My schedule differs each weekday, so I would be happy to discuss and figure out a time that works. Please message me if you have any interest or questions. Take care! I work around my school schedule, which differs every day. I am available weekdays after my classes which end at 3 PM Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 4 PM Mondays and 7PM Thursdays. I am quite flexible so feel free to message me with any questions. I am a very trustworthy and respectful person. I am very attentive to each client's rules within their own home. I know that every animal is unique and will follow care-taking instructions diligently as if they were my own pet.

About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently do drop in visits and house sit for a 3-year-old Pit Bull named Dutch, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of affection while maintaining his regular routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play sessions, quiet companionship, sticking to their daily routine, or just wants to sit outside and supervise the neighborhood squirrels, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and love that I'd want for my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. :) I currently work part-time in the environmental field and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to your pet's regular routine, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friend. :) Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while following your instructions closely. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: Ever since I was 5, I've always had animal in my life. My family got our first cat when I was 5 and she lived to be 22! I grew up being very involved in their care, even going to the vet with my parents. Since then I've lived with many different pets and watched many friends and family's when needed. While sitting I will have plenty of free time for walks, the park, playing, and hanging out. Any attention your pet may require. I'm accustomed to long stays and quickly getting to know pet's personalities. As of right now I have complete open availability so can be as present as needed. I currently have open availability and can always be around when you and your pet need it. Weekends, weekdays, and long stays are no issue at all. I'm located in Ridgewood and travel mostly by bicycle so I can get anywhere fast. I let pets approach me, especially when first meeting, to give them the space they need and to not appear confrontational. Staying consistent and being calm with meeting pets where they need to be met is well understood. Environments will be kept clean and behaviors will always be noticed and taken into consideration. You can rest assured knowing emotional and physical care will be a top priority.

About: I've grown up around animals--dogs, cats, birds, snakes, horses even. Not only do I love all animals, but I take great pride in properly caring for my own and others. I have experience petsitting both small and large dogs, and cats of all ages. I can administer medication, if necessary, and am comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs. I’m able to prepare fresh meals for your pet if this is the diet they are on. I'm physically able to be active with your pet and provide the most stimulating day for your pup or kitty. My experience caring for my own and petsitting for others will provide you with a great service of your own!! I currently work remotely and have a very flexible work schedule. This allows me to set aside time to travel to any pet sitting jobs, take your pups on walks, and spend time feeding and playing throughout the day. I’m a very attentive, compassionate, and patient pet owner and sitter. I make time to play with any pet and tend to their needs. I’m conscious of items, foods, plants, situations etc., that may be harmful to pets. My pets are my family and I love them as such. I’ll treat your pets with the same care!

First time booking him and he was very nice. He greeted my dog with a big smile, and he was so patient and kind, even though my dog was a little hesitant to walk with him at first since it’s his first time with him and he’s really nice in continuing to walk my dog after he sprained his ankle. We’ll definitely book him again in the future. Thank you

I needed a dog walker last minute, and Ashley immediately replied and made time to meet with me before the walk to go over everything. That alone made such a great first impression! From the minute Toby met her, he was excited and comfortable around her, and I knew he was in good hands. 😇 Ashley took Toby on a full hour-long walk and sent me pictures and live updates throughout. Seeing him enjoying himself gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for him to play with, which was such a thoughtful touch! What stood out most was how attentive she was, both to Toby and to making sure I felt comfortable. Even with a last-minute booking, she took the time to discuss his care beforehand and kept me informed along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring, communicative dog walker. Five stars from me and a very happy Toby! 🐾⭐

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Middle Village is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 28,437 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Middle Village. 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 Middle Village. 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 , 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 Middle Village 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middle Village. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
