About: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I watched my neighbors cats every time her family went on vacation so I also have experience caring for cats as well as dogs! I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate
“Rachel followed instructions very well and was so patient with Chimmy and Chammy. I am so grateful for her care and attention for my furbabies! Highly recommend her!”
About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.
About: Hi there, pet parents! I’ve spent over 10 years caring for animals and 6 years working as a veterinary technician, and caring for pets feels second nature to me. I’m currently focusing full-time on growing my local pet care services because caring for animals and fostering relationships with them and pet owners is more than a job to me. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets, and I’m comfortable with everything from administering medication and special care needs to baths, nail trims, and helping nervous pets feel safe and loved. My goal is to give every pet nuture and fun, so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! ♡ 🐾 I currently am working full-time providing personalized care for dogs & cats in the local area, so helping you with your vacation or schedule while away at work for your pets will be #1 priority! All of the pets I take care of are under my supervision 24/7. I live in a gated apartment next to the beach and have plenty of experience making pets feel comfortable in or out of the home.
“Ariella calmed my anxiety whether she knows it or not! Took care of my nearly 7 month old pup, Alf with confidence and care. Very much look forward for Ariella and Alf to hang out again!”
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!
About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.
“Sarah was so wonderful! She came to meet Sirius prior to their walk which was great because she got to know him. She is very clearly a dog lover, and was super helpful with him. She was very communicative and affectionate with our dog, which made us feel super comfortable. We would hire Sarah again in a heartbeat—she is just the kind of person you want taking care of your pet!”
About: I have worked in a doggy daycare, I have grown up around big dogs, had multiple dogs in my life, and have been dog sitting consistently for over three years. I have watched all types of dogs, cats, birds, and kids! I love all animals and have a puppy myself! I am a student, but other than school, I have a lot of free time. My schedule is very flexible I’m sure we can work something out! I live with my girlfriend and our dog, so your pet would have our full attention. I take my dogs on walks everyday, and am very athletic if your pet likes to run. I also have worked with dogs of all ailments, from blind or deaf, to old and unable to walk. Whatever you’re looking for, I can provide

Anastassia is great! She is super communicative and has helped me out even last minute with my freelance work schedule. She is very trustworthy and I know my dog is having a great time cause I get happy photos of him always! Thanks for everything! Definitely recommend 🐾 ♥️
My dog liked Ariella right away, which honestly says everything. She has some joint problems, so walks can be a bit tricky, but Ariella found a gentle, thoughtful approach that worked perfectly for her. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was , it was clear she took the time to understand my dog’s needs and made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Ariella to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and truly great with dogs!

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 Rockaway Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockaway Park. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
