About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I got my first dog when I was seven years old, and since then, dogs have always been an important part of my family. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pets. I will treat your dog like a member of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow their regular feeding, walking, playtime, and daily routines. I can also provide photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority! I’m a cosmetologist and correctional officer with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, playtime, and each pet’s usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure their environment is clean, secure, and comfortable. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Ev :) I enjoy collecting vinyls, hiking, and cooking. I have experience in dog and cat sitting. I consistently dog-sit a beautiful Beagle named Felix, whom I love and treat as if he were my dog. He is turning 11 in a few weeks, and I have been dog-sitting him since he was 3 years old. There are a few photos in my profile with Felix. I celebrate his birthday every year and spend some holidays with him as I have developed a close bond with him. I have more time now, and I would love to expand my services to more people around northern New Jersey and care for more animals. I have my own 4-legged baby at home named Mango; he is also pictured in my profile, the small little blond dog. He is a Peruvian Inca Orchid mix rescue from Peru; he's really sweet, trained, and is friendly with other animals; he just likes to sniff them first :) Under my care, your dog will be given plenty of attention and love. I work from home, so I can be with your pet all day. I also have a fenced-in yard, so your dog can have as many potty breaks as needed or to simply enjoy the outdoors. I would walk your pet twice a day, morning and night, for a 20 minute walk minimum; if the weather is nice, then it extends to 30 minutes each time sometimes even an hour. They will be let out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I provide a playful environment for any dog; I have plenty of toys and treats for them. I also have a fenced-in large yard so that they have plenty of space to run around. I am also very cautious and observant when having a dog at the house or walking them; they will be supervised at all times.

“Any words of praise I leave for Giselle are nowhere near enough! She is reliable, responsive and flexible. She is so great with my dog - managing his energy, and getting him to cooperate. She is caring and kind, and really wants to connect with the pet and the pet parent. My dog always comes back from walks with her tired and ready for a long nap. He's so excited to see her every single time! I trust Giselle completely - she's even taken my dog out and had access to my house when I wasn't home. Highly recommend her.”

I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.”

About: Here’s what you should know before booking with me: - I’ve been on this app since May 2023 - I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, and I love them. They're one of my favorite animals, and I always treat them with patience and gentleness. - I can let you know how many pets I’m currently looking after if you’d like. - I usually reply pretty quickly, so feel free to reach out anytime! - I’m all about spending quality time with your pet. Whether it’s backyard playtime, walks around the neighborhood, or visits to the park, let me know what your pet loves most! - Crates are only used if requested by the pet owner. - I pay close attention to whether it makes sense to separate pets, and we can chat about this when you book. - I’ve got 4 years’ experience caring for cats. - I’ve given injections to dogs before, and if there’s anything specific I need to know for other pets, I’m happy to learn! - Need pet pickup or drop-off? I might be able to help depending on how far you are, and we’ll work out the details together. - I don’t offer grooming services. - Pet bath is not free. Before we book, just a heads-up that I’ll need a photo showing your pet’s up-to-date shots (including rabies). Can't wait to meet your pet! Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I also make it a point to follow their instructions on feeding, giving medication, and tending to any special needs. I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats by my side my entire life, and caring for animals has always been more than a hobby—it’s truly my passion and calling. I have 13 years of pet-sitting experience as well as hands-on experience working at a Humane Society, where I cared for animals of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, supporting pets with chronic medical conditions, caring for seniors, and keeping up with happy, high-energy pups. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Trust and loyalty are at the heart of the care I provide. My goal is not only to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for, but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in dependable, compassionate hands. I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time focus, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Your pets are my priority, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits based on their individual routine and needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my number one priority. While my home does have a fully fenced yard, I prefer caring for pets in their own home whenever possible, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐶 I currently have three dogs of my own and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my beloved senior dog who lived to be 17 years old. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how different each dog can be, from energetic pups who love to play and explore to older dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! ❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available on weekends and can accommodate a variety of schedules, including walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays when needed. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I’ll treat every visit as an opportunity to give them the same love and attention I would give my own. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, exercise routine, and any house rules their family has in place. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave things clean and just as I found them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!

About: If you don’t have these social media platforms, you can message me through here for my email for us to set up any appointments. Thanks! I am currently working part time with a dog- walking business so I have time for pop ins, house sittings and walks depending on scheduling's with the other business. However, my business (waggingtailsandscales) provides mainly house sittings that we can book through here! Once I get a full time job else where, I will update all my availability for drop ins and walks along with the dog walking business I work for. I mainly want to grow my business through here and gain a good clientele before making a website for scheduling. Sadly right now I live in an apartment that I can't provide boarding for dogs or cats. However, depending on small critters or reptiles I may be able to provide boarding for an extra fee....

About: Hey! I’m an animal lover based in Seattle, offering boarding, house sitting, doggy day care, drop-ins, and walks. I love small and midsize dogs and cats who just want some real one-on-one attention — and cats have a special place in my heart, I’ve done cat sitting many times and love it. 🏡 Boarding — Your pup stays with me at my place, which has a fully fenced yard, so lots of safe outdoor time and zoomies included. I’m happy to host dogs who are cool hanging out with other dogs too — I keep it small and match personalities so everyone gets along. Feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and photo updates the whole stay. ☀️ Doggy day care — I work from home, so I’m around and available all day for drop-off and pick-up whenever fits your schedule. Your dog gets playtime, fresh air in the fenced yard, and good company (mine and other pups’, if they’re social) the whole time they’re with me. 🏠 House sitting — I come stay at your place so your pet doesn’t have to leave their bed, routine, or home. Feeding, walks, play, litter, fresh water, and I’ll keep things looking lived-in while you’re away. One household at a time — no juggling multiple homes. 🚪 Drop-in visits — Quick feeding, water, litter, potty breaks, and some play, with photos every visit so you know all is well. 🐕 Dog walks — Walks paced to your dog — chill senior strolls or a good brisk outing, whatever they’re into. 😺 Cat care — Cats are honestly my favorite. I’ve cat sat many times and know how to earn their trust — quiet, patient, on their terms. Litter, feeding, play, and lots of good company. Why me: calm, attentive, work from home so I’m flexible all day, love dogs and especially cats (lots of cat sitting experience), fenced yard for boarding and daycare, totally fine with multi-dog households, easy to reach, and comfortable with senior or special-needs pets. Hours: 8AM–10PM. I am available for dog boarding, dog day care, dog walking and house-sitting for cats and dogs during the week, at weekends and holidays. And I will be thrilled to take a good care of all dogs and cats. Cheers! I love dogs and cats. I offer dog walks and cat feeding services now in the neighborhood. I can also do Housesitting during the week and weekends.

About: In the past I have recognized the needs of my pet and responded to them. I always recognize when my pet doesn't want to play anymore and give him/her space. I always show pets affection and never uses physical punishment or force. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have strong interpersonal and communication skills. I am very patient with pets. I am obsessed with dogs and love to play with them. I don’t mind walking dogs at all. I love to spend time with dogs. I used to own an English bull mastiff she was very big and sadly passed from age. I don’t mind bathing dogs or being with them all day and night because I find them very relaxing and fun to be around.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Prospect Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Prospect Park on Rover is $23.31 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 27,705 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Prospect 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 Prospect Park. 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 Prospect Park.

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 Prospect 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 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.
