Adolfo is very detail oriented, and picks up where I leave off, e.g. making sure there’s enough light for my pet and they’re water is always full. If I forget something, he remembers, and it makes a huge difference. All in addition to reliable and meaningful walks around the neighborhood!

About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

Juan has been an amazing dog walker, and my corgi absolutely loves him. He is reliable, trustworthy, and always accommodating when scheduling changes come up. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and I always feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands. Juan is friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.

Such a delight to work with. She’s an effective and quick communicator. Super accommodating to your needs and needs of your pet. Alicia was flexible and made both of our schedules work. My dog, Fiona, took a liking to her immediately. Fiona could sense that Alicia is a good person and someone she can trust. Alicia was gentle with Fiona, so I could easily feel safe with her in Alicia’s care. I am currently injured with limited mobility, so Aleicia was also attentive to my needs and helped me out in the best way she could. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because I have been so worried about providing Fiona with a regular walk schedule and proper exercise and she took a lot of weight off my shoulders. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alicia!!! She went above and beyond for myself and my fur baby to provide an incredible and easy experience. She will be the only reason that I will continue to use Rover in the future.

About: Hi I’m Kate, and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 or 8 in my hometown, Baltimore, MD. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs, walking dogs in urban areas, socializing dogs at dog parks, and walking young energetic dogs! I’m in college in New York at Barnard on the UWS but I have a dog back home named Lucy who’s a chow-retriever rescue mix. I’m doing hybrid work this summer and in person work daily from 1-5pm, but can walk dogs before or after that! I am available and around on weekends as well. I am a college student so I cannot offer boarding services, but depending on where the owner is located I love walking dogs through Central Park, or any nearby park, as I love nature and the dogs always love it too (FYI I’m an environmental science and human rights major!)

About: I've always had a love for pets, and I've had experience taking care of dogs specifically from a very young age. I've cared for neighbors' and family pets of of all ages and sizes with varied health conditions - trips to the vet, walking, feeding, bathing, and of course, playing with them! I am particularly fond of my family's two pups, Chanel and Scarlet, and would love to take care of yours while I am away from mine. :) I am free to be on pet duty primarily in the evenings, but am intermittently free during the day depending on my work schedule, which can sometimes be sporadic. I should be available Sunday through Saturday. I aim to establish a safe and trusting relationship between me and pets, allowing us both to cultivate a playful but responsible environment for each other. I will follow any and all specified house rules and be sure to enforce said rules when it comes to the pets' behavior in the home.

Erika has been wonderful with Matisse, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Matisse is a very shy dog, so I really appreciated that Erika suggested a meet & greet before his first walk. It was clear right away how comfortable she is with dogs and how she truly cares about them. I knew that Matisse would be in great hands. I was anxious on their first day together, but Erika was thoughtful and kept me posted throughout the walk. The moment I received her first message saying that Matisse had greeted her at the door with kisses, I stopped worrying. Her patience, professionalism, and kindness made all the difference, and I am so grateful for the care she has shown Matisse. Don't hesitate to book Erika!

Ashley is the best dog sitter! My Pitbull is a rescue and can be reactive and Ashley is so great with her. Very careful and aware on walks and follows all the detailed feeding instructions for her allergies. Before my cat passed, Ashley used to stay over and cat-sit for us as well. Very trustworthy and always kept us informed with texts and pictures. To top it off my animals are obsessed with her, Ashley is a true animal lover. I don’t know what I’d do without her!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Morningside Heights.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
