“Katherine starts with the heart and really cares for my dogs! Plus we just met her and she feels like family already!! She’s trustworthy, caring, sweet, mindful and we are truly happy we found her. Thank you for your kindness and appreciate you so much!”
“Takes the dog on nice long walks as requested and was very conscientious of how the dog was behaving and whether or not she was eating her food etc. Katharine went above and beyond to hand feed her when she wasn’t eating! Will definitely be calling Katharine again. Thank you!”
“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’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve owned and cared for four dogs of my own, giving each one consistent love, structure, and attention. I regularly take shelter dogs out for walks, playtime, toys, and treats to brighten their day. I’ve been a dog-lover since I was young, and I often dogsit for friends and family, giving every pup the same patient, reliable care I give my own. I work full time, but I’m consistently available every day between 4pm and 7pm. That window fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m always ready for walks, drop-ins, or evening care during those hours. Safety and trust are always my first priorities. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer; feeding, water, meds, or crate needs included. I keep a close eye on gates, doors, and leashes, and I make sure every walk is calm, controlled, and enjoyable. I always send updates, photos, and notes so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Your pet gets my full attention, patience, and care every visit.
“Michael and Lisa are phenomenal! They are extremely responsive and professional. They took great care of our pup and made sure to tailor the walk to our dogs preferences and needs.”
“Unfortunately with my job they’ve been making me work 12 hour days… I am so thankful for the help that you have given me! Lola is my baby and has been by my side for nine years! Thank you for making this process so much easier!!!”
“Patrick and Karyn have taken my dog on three walks this week! They are incredibly kind and it’s very obvious that they are caring people. Upon meeting I felt very comfortable with them and trusted them to take good care of tuna (my doggy) while I was at work. They are so responsive and give updates throughout the entire visit. I’ll continue to book their care and highly recommend! Thank you so much 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ronkonkoma
handles my senior dog extremely well and carefully...She even started doing something that i had never thought of.....Kerry is always on time and if ever an issue reaches out right away to let me know even when its the littliest thing. I was very hesitant about trusting my dog with a complete stranger for the first time ever and her caring work eased my concerns right away...will use her again when her situation allows it and definitely would recommend her when she is back to work
Lindsay has been walking Tobey and Poppy for a few months now. We absolutely love her! She takes the time to spend with them and makes sure they are happy. She is a great communicator, we always know how they enjoyed the walk. She goes above and beyond with time spent and caring for my dogs. She is really appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ronkonkoma on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
