About: Hello, I'm Andrew, a dog walker based in Mason. This fall (‘26) I am available to do over night stays and dog walks. I am offering an inexpensive rate. I have a personal car and am available to travel for work. I have worked through Rover before, and every single job I’ve taken has been a blast and every new dog is a friend. Please reach out for dog walking needs! Schedule is totally flexible! I am available on a daily basis. Also, I make homemade doggy treats! I have a delicious and nutritious 5 ingredient recipe for peanut butter & pumpkin biscuits made with coconut flour that your dog may appreciate. Contact me about delivering a treat bag, big or small, for a birthday or special occasion. Pet care can fit into my daily routine in the way that best suits my clients needs. Like I said, I work and study from my computer so I am fully mobile and and my schedule is flexible. I care for the pets in your home exactly like I am expected to. Pets, snuggles, activity when appropriate, general maintenance. I engage with each dog one on one and ensure that they're being taken care of.

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!

Friends and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own.

What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifetime of dedication, calm demeanor, and deep compassion for animals of all ages and backgrounds. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part-time as a nanny for my nephew, but I still have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends for visits, walks, or check-ins. I’m happy to help keep your pets happy and cared for whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities.

About: As a kid i’ve always been surrounded by animals, all kinds! I’ve worked with dogs learning how to shake, sit and lay! I’ve dog sat for multiple families and friends and have extended experience. I’ve also volunteered since middleschool to help animals on the streets and many rescues! Dog sitting isn’t just something to do for money, but for love and a hobby! I am a college student who works part time, so working around my schedule will be pretty easy! I often find myself with free time and would love to use it with animals! I’m a very patient person when it comes to animals, my yard is not fenced but I am more than willing to take a walk as many times as needed!

I am a capable caregiver with a lot of personal experience. I prioritize maintaining the rhythm and routine your pets prefer, whether that be long walks, the safety of a crate, enriching play time, or lots of lovin'. I am a quick learner and I am intentional in how I go about giving your dog what they need. I can manage medicine, and most special needs, just let me know in advance!

About: I've grown up with various dogs my whole life. I currently own a husky and a corgi. I know how to use an E-collar and a prong collar. I love long walks from a mile to 4 miles or more. I'll even run with your dog if you like. Not a fan of dog parks? That's okay, I'm liery of them too. I'm patient and okay with cleaning up messes. I'm currently unemployed. I just got married and my husband and I would like to start a family. Walking pregnant will keep me in shape and keep busy as well as out of the house. My husband works from home. This is meant to be a stable side job. Not looking to make a profit just some side cash flow. Regular potty breaks and walks daily. Lots of cuddles and brushing if they let me. Games of fetch if that's their thing. Monitor their wrestling time so they don't get too carried away.

About: Welcome to the care of Mariana and Denys! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a huge part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Together, we have over 20 years of combined experience caring for dogs/pets, and we truly treat every pet like family. We both work from home, so your pets are never left alone and always have someone around to watch over them, play with them, and give them affection throughout the day. We have a nice big yard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy, and we make sure every pet gets the attention they need based on their personality and routine. We also have experience caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medication, caring for senior pets, puppies, and pets that aren’t fully potty trained. Mariana is CPR certified, giving you added peace of mind when it comes to your pet’s safety and well-being. We’re both originally from Europe and can’t wait to meet your pups. We know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so we always send plenty of updates, photos, and videos to help give you peace of mind. Mariana has been taking care of animals since she was 10 years old. Growing up in Ukraine, she was the person friends and neighbors trusted with their pets. Denys has about 14 years of pet-sitting experience and loves giving treats and going on morning walks with your pups. Together, we’re patient, attentive, and truly love making pets feel safe, happy, and at home. No matter the size, age, or personality, we do our best to make every pet feel important, comfortable, and cared for like they’re our own. We’re so excited to welcome your furry family members into our home. 🐶🐱💙 Our daily schedule is very flexible since we both work from home. This allows us to stick closely to your dog’s routine, including regular walks, feeding times, play breaks, and rest. We provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are carefully supervised and treated with patience and respect. We follow your instructions closely, maintain routines, and take every precaution to make sure each pup feels safe, relaxed, and truly at home while in our care.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats around me my entire life and there’s nothing I love more than keeping my furry friends safe and happy 💕 I have a flexible schedule that allows pet care to be a regular part of my daily routine. I work part-time as a party princess, primarily on select weekends, and gigs are infrequent and scheduled ahead of time. Because of this, I’m able to commit fully to feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and quality time, ensuring pets receive dependable and focused care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean and respected. I also will provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Onondaga. 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 Onondaga. 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 Onondaga 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 Onondaga. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
