“My Hero, Tedy is so reliable and attentive to my dogs needs. She has been walking my dog for weeks and I only have the most positive things to say about her professionalism, and loving nature. She is punctual and I get to see videos of my dog’s reactions to her visits which are so heartwarming because my dog loves her. Tedy will be an asset to anyone who is looking for support caring for our little family members.”

About: Hello! My name is Jhoceline and I live in Grimes, IA! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband Luis, baby boy and doggie Luna. Although it is an apartment the space is cozy with a balcony overlooking a pond with and has a spacious living room for the dogs to run around. The neighborhood is relaxed and very pet friendly. I’ve has doggies as far back as I can remember so I definitely have a soft spot for animals! We are here to have a day filled with play or a lazy one on the couch enjoying a nice movie! We have a lot of open space in the community as well as a nice trail just a few minutes away for those extra long walks! My goal is to make sure your pup enjoys their stay away from home and is comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have and make sure your dog gets extra love during their time apart. I am able to host from small to large dogs at my home but am also available for traveling/sitting if you prefer I stay in your home! I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they need whether that means going on extra long walks or relaxing on the couch with some belly rubs! I have a spacious balcony overlooking a beautiful pond for this mid-day sun naps! I also have a friendly pup who will keep your fur baby entertained.

About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for

About: I grew up with large and small dogs since I was young. My first dog was a pitbull so no I don’t think they’re dangerous, so much so I own a cane corso now. I love all types of dogs and rescued a few strays to give to new families. I have done the same with cats and birds, yes birds. I found strays from new born to even elderly, took care of them and learned how to do basic grooming care like clipping nails and trimming coats. I train my dogs pretty well, I’m not no professional, but they know many key tricks perfectly. I’m currently going to college but it is night classes so I’m free for the entire morning till early afternoon. I’m available for any services unless already booked or stated unavailable for personal reasons. I am free any time from 10am to 4pm Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Sunday Thursday and Friday 6am to 4pm. Saturday 6am to 12pm If there is clients with multiple dogs I know how to stop a scuffle before or during so don’t worry too much on that. I would like to know any allergies and during check ins their feeding regimens. Honestly I love all fur babies and giving them that extra TLC, brushing that winter coat off or just in general keeping them company.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. I also work at a food delivery company part-time Wed & Friday 9pm to 2am and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet and allows me to pay attention to details and slow down a bit. I love being nurturing and taking time to shell the flowers! I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.

About: Hi! I’m Wendy, and I love puppies. I speak fluent Spanish and have a basic command of English, enough to communicate with owners and—in case of an emergency—with the vet. I use a translation app on my phone if needed to ensure communication is always clear. Although I don’t have professional certification, I’ve looked after dogs for family and friends my whole life. I know how important your puppy is to you. I will treat your puppy as if it were my own. What I offer: Lots of affection and personalized attention • Safe walks using a harness and leash • Photos and updates during every visit • Full respect for your routine: meals, medication, and schedules • Spotless, smoke-free home • I live in Ozone Park, close to parks My experience: • Caring for small and medium-sized dogs • Shy or senior dogs—I have plenty of patience • Administering oral medication if needed • I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone. For me, the most important thing is your peace of mind and your dog's happiness. Your dog will get all my attention, playtime with toys, and sweet dreams on a cozy bed. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My routine begins with dropping my daughter off at school and returning home; during this time, I can look after, play with, bathe, and walk the dogs, and in the afternoon, I pick my daughter up from school. I can also walk the dogs in the afternoon because my husband stays with my daughter. I live in a large apartment where the puppy can play; I don't have a yard, but I live close to a park, so I can take him there so we can play.

About: I have been taking care of as well as walking dogs since I was 17 years old around the city and in Queens. My partner had a pomeranian girl that I got to live with for 3 years until unfortunately she passed away, her name was Lilly :) and she was twelve years old. I love dogs and enjoy being in their company. I have a good amount of experience when it comes to noticing when a dog is upset. I have worked a lot with dog-sitting. My mom's boss gave me the opportunity to dogsit his bulldog Albert while he goes away the whole summer and constantly travels throughout the year. I understand the love and care that a dog or kitty might need when this occurs. I work remotely and go into the office twice a week, spending most of my time at home which allows me take care of your pet throughout the day. My typical work hours in person are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I reside in a cozy, spacious apartment that is filled with beautiful natural light and fresh air, creating a warm atmosphere. My partner and I are pet lovers and we are committed to ensuring that any pets in our care will be cherished and well looked after.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ozone Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ozone Park on Rover is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk. 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 28,290 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ozone Park. 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 Ozone Park. 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 a map of the walking route , 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 Ozone Park 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 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 Ozone Park. On Rover:

  • 87% 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 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
