“Kerry was a wonderful companion for our pup while we were away. She treated him like royalty and he was well taken care of. She followed all instructions and sent pictures of all her walks ! Thank you for being so great”
“Madison is great! Great communication, followed all the steps needed to properly walk Enzo and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was taken care of. The photos provided during the walks were a nice touch and shows that Madison provides high quality customer service!! I would highly recommend Madison and would definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: 🐶 I know how it feels to be super excited for a trip with just one thing dampening that excitement—worry about your baby’s safety and well-being while you’re gone. It is my pleasure and privilege to care for your dog(s) like they are my own so you can travel with peace of mind. 🐶 I’ve been a dog lover and animal caretaker my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, ducks, and even rats, learning to carefully care for each species and individual animal based on their needs. As an adult, I have adopted 2 dogs of my own, including a senior pup with demanding health needs, and a rescue pup found abandoned roadside in Puerto Rico. 🐶 I have also fostered many dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and sizes through a local rescue in my area. I understand that each animal is an individual with unique needs, likes, and dislikes, and take the time to get to know each dog I care for. 🐶 I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with trauma, dogs with medical needs, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and fearful dogs. 🐶 Caring for dogs isn’t just a “side job” for me—it’s something that brings joy and meaning to my life. I am passionate about animal welfare and well-being and believe every day should be the best day of a dog’s life! • I work from home and have total flexibility in terms of when I complete that work, so your dog’s needs can always come first! My day revolves around your baby 🥰 • Your dog can be outside as often as they wish (and you allow), whether it’s sniffing in the yard, playing fetch or tug of war, or going on walks • Your dog will be able to go in/out of the house for potty breaks, playtime, or rest any time they like • I always supervise dogs in the backyard at all times, on top of having a full fence, so you never need to worry about your dog eating something unsafe, or pulling a “Houdini” if they have escape artist tendencies 😂 🐕 I have a large, fully-fenced yard filled with toys, interesting smells, and plenty of squirrel and bird watching! 🐕 If your dog enjoys walks or trips to the park, I live on a beautiful and safe low-traffic block and have several dog-friendly parks nearby that we can visit during your pup’s stay, with your permission. 🐕 My dog, Pearl, a 2-year-old mixed breed medium-sized girl, will be overjoyed to keep your pup company, share her many toys, and play play play! She is also happy (and trained) to give your dog space if that is the pup’s preference - I have enough space in my home that dogs can relax separately from one another if they prefer that. 🐕 No need to bring your dog’s bed, we have plenty! The couch is all theirs too! I can also gate off rooms and/or crate your dog at any time if that is what you or your dog needs or prefers. 🐕 A safe environment for your dog is maintained here at all times and is of the utmost importance‼️: —dogs are never left unsupervised —my home is free of choking hazards —play with toys & with other dogs is always carefully monitored —I do not keep any items in the home that are dangerous for a dog to ingest (xylitol, poisonous plants, etc.)
About: I've been around pets all my life and developed a strong understanding of animal care from a young age. As an adult, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a range of pet personalities, from energetic working dogs and playful kittens, to nervous rescues with behavioral challenges. I helped socialize two shy, unhappy adult cats, one of whom took over a year to build trust. I’ve cared for Sonny, a reactive corgi mix, supporting his training, managing reactivity on walks, and recognizing stress signals. I’ve also bonded with Zelda, an anxious German Shepherd mix, helping her feel safe through patience and consistent care. I’ve managed feeding, walks, training, and emotional support for each pet with empathy and respect for their unique needs. I am a freelancer, so I work remotely and make my own schedule. This gives me a lot of flexibility for in-home visits and dog walks. I always carefully follow the instructions given by the pet parent. For working dog breeds, I make sure to give them long walks and plenty of play time. For more apprehensive animals, I will be mindful about making loud noises or sudden movement and give them time to warm up to me. I always adapt to the pets’ needs and send plenty of photo updates to the parents along the way.
“Amanda is absolutely conscientious and dependable, but what REALLY shines is the calm demeanor and gentle nature that won over our old but still a bit rambunctious Mac immediately. Dogs always seem to know who to trust and he wasn't wrong. Sad to see her go, but we'll most definitely hire her again!”
About: I was a teacher for 4 years and therefore have a lot of patience. I have had dogs and cats in my house throughout my life and love them dearly. I have also trained puppies before. I have my own small business and am looking for something in the mornings to do. I am also getting married next year and would love some extra income to pay for the wedding I love playing with the dogs in the backyard, as well as taking them for walks if applicable with a harness and leash. I’m careful with making sure the fences are fully closed and any gates that are needed
About: Expert Care for Gentle Giants & Tiny Treasures Alike From 100+ lb Cane Corsos to 5 lb Chihuahuas, I’ve spent my life mastering the art of dog care. Whether you have a powerful large breed that needs a confident handler or a delicate senior who needs extra patience, I provide the specialized attention they deserve. I pour lots of love onto every 'fur baby'. Having owned everything from birds and dogs to hamsters and bunnies, I understand the unique rhythm of a pet-loving home. My specialties: in-home overnight pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, ensuring your pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment when you can't be there. I am a full time pet sitter, dog walker, and pet companion! House Sitting - BOTH extended 'dog sitting' (much like babysitting), AND overnight care in your own home (overnight stays do not include a day walk or drop-in, that requires an additional booking) Dog Walks - mornings (8am through 12pm), afternoons (12pm through 5pm), evenings (5pm through 9pm), late evenings are possible for special circumstances Drop-in Visits - mornings (8am through 12pm), afternoons (12pm through 5pm), evenings (5pm through 11pm) Feedings, administering medication, play sessions, and more! If you tell me your dog loves to eat its meals with a human sitting on the floor with him, that's what I'll do. I have spoon fed many dogs in my 10 years as a professional pet care specialist. If your dog is used to sleeping in bed with her humans, she gets to sleep in bed with this human, too! My goal: make your dog feel as if nothing has changed, other than the human, in his home.
About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m also hoping that by dog sitting and walking, I’ll finally convince my husband that it’s time for us to adopt our own pup soon! 🐶❤️ I currently work Tues-Thurs full time in NYC office and available most weekends. My husband and I enjoy filling our free time walking and caring for dogs. He and I both will care for your beloved furry baby like it is our own. I’m available most weekdays after work and weekends with notice. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or house rules and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From walks and feedings to baths, medication, and extra snuggles — I’ll treat your pet like part of the family!
About: All my life I have taken care of animals big and small. Special care or simple care they will be loved and safe with me. I work a hybrid job, from home Monday and Friday office tues-Thurs. all fur babies baby will love the attention and affection they will get. In my home they will have a safe room to sleep or stay in if they want quiet or they can mingle around the house. In your home I would follow your instructions as to where they are allowed to be. At my home our yard is only fenced on 3 sides while it is a large space they would be on a lead at all times.
“Thank you, Albert. I’m very grateful to know I can trust Bella to be with you during my long days away. It’s a relief and you’re so thoughtful with her! We are blessed to have you take care of our dog & give our family peace of mind when we get home.”
About: Animal lover since the day I was born! I have a 5 year old cat named Lilly who is extremely friendly with other pets so I can bring pets to my house. I worked at New York’s Best Pets on Dyckman 200 Street before it burned down unfortunately and there I took care of feeding, grooming and playing with the pets as well as customer service. I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past, from walking to dog sitting. I have given prescribed medicine to dogs when they needed it and have trimmed their hair when asked to, as well as given them a full shower and a good groom. I live next to Raynor Beach Country Park and I love going out for walks and runs so you know your dogs will always have a good time and stay fit! I’ve been taking care of pets most of my life and I want to give pets the best experience they’ve ever had. I’m athletic so I have plenty of energy to burn. With me, I can guarantee your pets will have a great time and you’ll be satisfied with how they’ve been taken care of!
About: For the majority of my life, I have always had a dog in my possession! So I have always known how far my love and care for animals goes. I have watched my family’s dogs when they went on vacation and I’ve also walked a couple of dogs in my neighborhood. Now, my love and care for animals goes beyond measure. They are family, and should be treated as such! Which is why I plan on making sure I would treat your pets the same way you would if you were there! I will always plan to go above and beyond for your pets. I am not someone who does the bare minimum when it comes to taking care of animals. I love what I do and I have the passion for it. So I plan to do whatever I can to make sure that your pets are treated with the amount of love and care they deserve. I currently have 2 jobs, so I would just have to work with my schedule on what I can do! But it is something I am more than happy to do! Due to my living situation, I am unable to dog sit at my house. However, I would be able to find ways of travel to your home. I would make sure I was there with them for as long as you need, if not more! Plus I wouldn’t mind help getting a couple house things done while there if you needed. Just give me a list of what you want done and how you want it done and I know I’ll be able to help! I also can walk dogs if needed.

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 Ronkonkoma. 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 Ronkonkoma.

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 Ronkonkoma. 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.
