“Mary helped us out for a few days while we were away and I’m so happy we found her! I really felt like our dog was safe with her and that’s such a relief to have when you’re not home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Colleen has been great with my dog! She's very communicative, flexible, and has braved the cold weather/snow to make sure my dog still gets good movement in. I highly recommend her.”
“Drew has been a wonderful caregiver for Lilly. He is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring, and she absolutely loves him. He has been helping care for her since the day she came home to me, and I have always trusted him completely with her well-being. Drew also helped care for my previous dog, Addison, who has since passed away, and he showed the same compassion, kindness, and dedication with her. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. He is reliable, responsible, and attentive, and I always have peace of mind knowing Lilly is in his care. I would recommend Drew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter or dog walker”

About: I've had pets since I was 6, ranging from an older Jack Russel Terrier, shy/abused German Shepherd/Rottweiler, and now a hyper Pitbull! I accept the personalities of all animals I currently work a full-time job. I have flexible lunch breaks and can contribute to care within the 11-1 PM schedule. I am available after 3:30 PM until 8 PM every weekday if given 2-3 days notice. On weekends, if I am not traveling, I can be flexible. I am an early riser!!! So if you need a 6 AM walk, I am SUPER happy to oblige. I'm available to take dogs on walks, supervise play time in a fenced in area, or adjust to whatever exercise your dog may need. I'm happy to feed and water them and provide care specific to their needs.
“Our meet and greet with Joseph went so well! He was very kind and respectful. I could tell he really absorbed the information we gave him on our dog. He was proactive in interacting with our dog, but could also read our dog’s cues and knew when to give him space. Overall, our dog took to him really well and we are looking forward to continuing to work with Joseph!”
“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”
“Shanisha was great! We talked at length about my dog and his needs. She listened and asked thoughtful questions of her own. I feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

Joy is amazing! Joy signed on to take care of my mom’s dog during a recent illness. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met her. She is someone both people and pets feel totally comfortable around. Joy was communicative, flexible, responsive, kind, and completely reliable. And she clearly loves dogs! We feel lucky to have found our way to her and to have developed an ongoing caretaking relationship. Highly recommend!!
María was an amazing dog walker! She came the day before to do a meet and greet. She had great communication and was so kind. She took my dog to the park for a long walk which he loves. I really appreciated her time and effort! Would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 7,922 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rockland. 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 Rockland. 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 Rockland.
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 Rockland. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
