Steve does a great job with my dog Gus. He came and walked him while I was out of town for a few days. He has very great communication and I felt confident leaving Gus in his care. Highly recommend to others!

Amanda was great with Ana, my high-energy rescue, and managed to tire her out during a long school day for me! Very caring and kind! Was accommodating during our meet and greet and extremely attentive to Ana. Loved all the updates and ease of communication. Ana is definitely excited for her next walk with Amanda

We are so glad we met Stephanie! Upon her arrival, our two 70+ lb pups were bouncy and very excited to meet her. Before even entering the house, she got them to sit and get calm. She shared great photos and didn’t leave the house until she made sure the pups had what they needed to be comfortable for the rest of the day. Our pups can’t wait to see her again!!

About: I took care of dogs around my neighborhood as a teen. For the past year I’ve been training a psychiatric service dog through my school. He lives with me full time! I am currently a student, so around my classes I have a lot of time to care for pets, especially on weekends. I love making the time to meet new animals and be outdoors. I have experience caring for dogs in my neighborhood and am always sure to leave a house as good or better than I found it.

About: I have been pet sitting dogs for over 7 years! When a dog comes into my home they are part of the family and have free range of the house. We do not crate board unless that’s what the owner wants. Caring, calm and cozy home for your dogs next stay! I am a stay at home mom that loves animals. So caring for dogs and other pets is just another part of my daily routine! I provide care exactly how the owner wants. Feeding and walking schedules are done as requested by the owner! I can administer medication if needed and any other service that may be requested. I am flexible and caring, and can adjust to any needed routine!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and know firsthand how important consistent, detailed care can be. My own dog has GI issues and requires a very specific diet, medication, and feeding routine, so I’m very comfortable following special instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in appetite, behavior, and routine. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, observant, and used to being detail-oriented. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, medications, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of updates and photos while you’re away. I work a set nursing schedule and have availability on select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding times, and medication schedules when planned in advance. I take pet care seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding, medications, bathroom habits, behavior, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’m careful with doors, leashes, gates, and each pet’s individual routine, and I’ll send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Poughquag

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Poughquag on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,614 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poughquag. 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 Poughquag. 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 Poughquag.

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 Poughquag. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
