About: Hey my name is Victoria. I’ve had animals all my life or should I say best friends. I worked for a Veterinarian for 2 years, so I have experience dealing with the muss and fuss of dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I have experience in administrating medication as well. A tired dog is a happy dog! I love taking them on long walks and adventures. We are always sure to praise good behavior with positive reinforcement treats! There is nothing like a purring cat or kitty! Plenty of behind the ear and chin rubs to go around for them fur babies too. I’ve always grown up having a cat and dog together, which made life always interesting and fun. I can’t imagine life without best friends.
About: Hi y’all, I’m Aza! I am a caring and reliable pet sitter serving the Belle Harbor/ Rockaway Park area. I have 2 kitties of my own. I also had a large dog for 15 years. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they need. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with a local cat rescue and fostered 6 cats before adopting the last two. Many of my fosters came to me shy and scared, and I’ve had great success helping them feel safe, build and adjust to new people and homes. I’m available most weekdays and flexible on weekends. Please don’t hesitate to message me to ask for availability. I can make exceptions and squeeze you in last minute if I can. I am not currently employed so my schedule is very flexible. My rates are very reasonable. When caring for your pets, I’m attentive, punctual, and treat them like my own. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked or played with, and always safe. I’m careful with doors, mindful of their surroundings, and happy to give medication if needed. Very good with litter, keeping bowls clean, and lots of playing. I look forward to meeting your fur baby :) I am available for walks/ check ins most of the time. I do work a few nights a week but I will be updating my calendar and we can work out an arrangement for repeat visits / walks I always make sure your pets are fed on time, walked and played with. I always make sure to close the outside doors quickly after I enter so there’s no chance of your pet accidentally escaping. I’m always mindful of the surroundings. I genuinely enjoy making sure your pet is having a good time by engaging them in playing or just petting them. I am also punctual and experienced with giving your pets medication if they require it.
“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: My prominent pet care experience this year is with large dogs and kitties. Most of my dog experience is with big dogs, I’m happy to visit with small doggies too! Apart from pet care, I teach classes across the city (one hour classes throughout the week). It’s great when I have the opportunity to be with animals. It’s a little bit more chore work of course… I give all of the pet owners credit for doing what you do. During all visits I'm available by call or text. I provide quality care yet I do understand that sometimes when you’re away you might want a photo or two.
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.

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.

About: Hello, My name is Julius and I am a Brooklyn based photographer/multimedia artist. I am extremely responsible, amiable, and truly do have a special place in my heart for dogs. I was born and raised among these lovable beings due to my mother and father being dog-enthusiasts. Most importantly, I understand what it takes to raise a happy and healthy canine companion. It should always be kept in mind that dogs are a reflection of their environment and upbringing, therefore, in order to keep your pal happy and healthy lots of love and attention should be given to them! I am very flexible, so I am easy to work with and can adapt well to your schedule. Thank you in advance for considering me to help take care of your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockaway Park
I recently booked Alexandra to watch my dogs for five consecutive days in my home. She always came promptly, gave my dogs their breakfast, took them for walks, and gave them so much attention and affection during the hours she was here. She is a kind and lovely person and I highly recommend her!
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.

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.

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.
