“Candice was so communicative and made me feel at ease before she even arrived at the house. This was my first time using Rover and first time having someone walk Mocha without a previous introduction. It was so nice to know that Mocha was in good hands and Candice went above and beyond in making sure she got a good walk in and had time to pee/poop. I'm so appreciative of Candice and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve grown up with dreams of becoming a vet since a child but turned to another career path that grabbed my heart strongly. I still love animals and baby sit my friends pets anytime they need being that I work from home. I’ve been a dog owner of a lovely female yorkie for 5 years and a female pitbull for 10 months. They aren’t my pets they are my children! I do care for dogs in heat as well being that I have a female pitt as well & have extensive experience. Dogs are such loveable companions and smart as well. I wish to share my services of care and play with others as well as providing a safe space for pet owners in need of baby sitting or care when life gets busy. I currently work from home so pet care is never overlooked in my home. My dog is my #1 priority the moment I open my eyes. Any pet in my care is treated and loved as my own. I have a very loving & forgiving female pitbull who is properly caged trained as well. Pet care and safety is my top priority next to an enjoyable experience in my care.

“I highly recommend Ariana! She was incredibly punctual and reliable, which gave me total peace of mind. My Goldendoodle is somewhat anxious and moves slowly, but Ariana handled her with such gentleness and patience. It’s clear she truly understands doodle behavior and dog temperament in general. She loved her, and I felt completely confident leaving her in her care.”

About: From dachshunds to danes, I’ll care for them all! I grew up with Samoyeds and Keeshonds and now loving on the Dachshunds and Corgis. I love to engage and exercise and will give your doggies the best rubs behind the ears. I enjoy the outdoors and will provide your dogs with the exercise and play that they deserve, while you’re away. I have open availability, as I freelance in film, and can be flexible while I’m not on a job. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young and will be attentive and receptive to your needs as well as theirs. I have volunteered at the humane society throughout college and also have experience administering medicine, as I have had special needs dogs. I also have a car, if for any reason you need transportation for your pup and this allows for me to have more flexibility in getting to you at any time. I am a freelance film maker and have open availability throughout the day when I am between jobs. I have flexibility and my schedule most likely can work around yours. However you care for your animals in your home, I will maintain that same routine to keep your pets happy and provide them with consistency!

About: I’ve had the opportunity to know and take care of so many pets over the past 10 years, they’ve become family to me. I’m an active person who loves playing with dogs and taking them on adventures. I’ve sat and walked many breeds, sizes, and ages, across all kinds of environments, including a long-term role as a private pet care provider for a high-profile client. Animals are a passion of mine, and I believe they deserve only the best from the people who care for them. I’m always eager to make new connections, message me and let’s set something up! My schedule varies week to week since I work shifts that change regularly, but I keep pet care flexible around it. I check my availability closely before committing to anything, so if I say yes, you can count on me to be there. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both our schedules — just reach out and we’ll figure it out together When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d want for my own — sticking closely to your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions you give me. I’m attentive to their environment, making sure doors and gates are secure and nothing is out of place that could put them at risk. I always keep an eye out for changes in behavior or health, so if anything seems off, you’ll hear from me right away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, always.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: Hi! I’m Jess, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably say I’m the human version of a golden retriever friendly, energetic, loyal, and always excited to make new friends (especially the furry kind!). While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family, friends, and many of my personal training clients. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’m very active, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I would be honored to be that person for your furry family member. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now. I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking to stay active and productive throughout the summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love animals and see pet sitting and dog walking as an opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I know many people have vacations, family events, long workdays, and summer plans, and it can be stressful worrying about leaving a beloved pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so pet parents can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection. As someone who is active, responsible, and caring, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping families this summer while building meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. As a personal trainer and health coach, I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime. I also understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾💛

About: I’ve taken care and loved dogs since I was 8. Ive been a foster for several dog shelters and had the pleasure of taking care of those who needed a home, even if it was temporary. I have dogs of my own back at home and take very good care of them! I’m patient and love raising dogs and am more than willing to take care of ones that aren’t mine! I am currently a student so I’m not working at this moment. With an open weekly schedule, all you have to do is let me know when you need me! If I am a sitter then I would just stay at your house while you are away of course! I’m always available on weekends too. I would visit and walk the dog as needed without making a mess in your home! I am comfortable with any type of dog! With my own dogs, I walk them constantly throughout the day and keep them on a consistent schedule.

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have been pet sitting since the age of 14. I have looked after animals of all kinds, such as dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and amphibians. I am comfortable giving medication (outside of injection) and am willing to work with animals of all ages. As we enter the school year I am unavailable for midday drop ins but am available for house sitting or walks after 4pm. This is not my full time position so I will be unavailable from 8am to 4pm. My availability will open up during holiday breaks so keep an eye out for when my availability opens up. I always schedule a meet-and-greet before any care to get to know you and your pets. It helps me ensure I am providing the best care.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and my experience goes beyond being a pet owner. I’ve fostered dogs and cats of all ages, from newborn puppies and kittens without a mother to senior animals needing extra care and attention. I’ve helped nurse animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes, and I’ve volunteered at animal shelters walking and caring for dogs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals at every stage of life, including those who need extra patience, specialized attention, or a little extra love. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that pets are family! My schedule is flexible, with a preference for Monday through Friday during daytime hours. I also have occasional weekend availability and am happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care that fits your pet’s needs and routine! I provide care in your pet’s own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up with a labrador retriever who quickly became my live-in best bud! I’ve adored animals ever since. I’ve helped neighbors/friends watch over their dogs/cats and homes, short-term and extended periods of time, either stopping by throughout the day to care for the pet or living in the home while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for an elderly and newly blind dog, and understand each pet has specific needs and care, plus consistency in routine is important when their owners are away from them. I am currently looking for a full/part-time job and am in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time flexibility in a day-to-day while I am job searching. I care for others pets the same way I’d care for my dog, Mackie. Plenty of quality time, walks and meals based on their usually routine, playtime outside in the mornings and/or afternoon.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Putnam Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Putnam Valley is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $23 per walk. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 7,752 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Putnam Valley. 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 Putnam Valley. 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 Putnam Valley 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 Putnam Valley. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
