About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I currently own a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko and a 15 month old Cockapoo named Nala. I also have 5 chickens and 6 ducks and love to take care of animals as a homeschool mama. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.
About: I have life long experience taking care of dogs, between my own personal dogs, to my siblings dogs as well as close friends and family. I have this connection with animals that I can't describe which makes me the favorite uncle amongst my furry nieces and nephews. I have experience training my own dogs and my siblings dogs as well in the past. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I have a full and open schedule during the week and I am flexible with time. The weekends can be discussed further upon request of service. We are currently set up for only walks and visits. so care for pets will be at client residence to ensure they fell safe in their environment
“Maddy was excellent! I booked her as a walker when I was in a pickle last minute, she is very kind and quick to respond. She also makes the extra effort to make sure your fur baby is taken care of, the way I, as an owner would want. Definitely would recommend!”
“Tessa takes great care of my rescue dog, Glen, who can be a handful at times. When I come home he is way more relaxed than stressed, and this is a credit to Tessa. I am fortunate and grateful that she is able to take care of him.”
About: My life is enriched by the furry friends in it and between my vast experience and love of animals, your pet will be in truly great care! I currently care for children part time, and have lots of free time when I am home and my (human) children are in school. I look forward to spending some of my available time with your pup or kitty! I will come to your home, exercise, play with, feed, provide medication, clean up after, or happily partake in any other necessary parts of your pet's routine.
“Julia was terrific! She showed up for a last minute request. She was friendly, prompt and flexible. My dog was very comfortable with her at the outset. I was so impressed that since she needed to address something at home she offered to take my dog with her rather than give me less than the full hour walk.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shannon and Justin have been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Aria! They are reliable, communicative, and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience at the local animal shelter with dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more independent or senior pets. I’m especially mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and exercise needs, and I always aim to provide consistent care that matches what pets are used to at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure I’m fully present during each visit or stay. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my time to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication needs, and house rules. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I always supervise interactions, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide constant attention during visits or stays. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being dependable, attentive, and caring at all times.
About: I have over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve supported dogs through daily care, feeding routines, long walks, playtime, medication administration, and providing comfort while their owners are away. I’m highly intuitive, attentive, and patient, making animals feel safe, calm, and cared for in their own environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in adapting my care to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s an energetic pup who loves adventure or a more sensitive pet who needs a gentle presence, I create a nurturing, reliable experience for both pets and their owners. I offer a flexible schedule and am available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight care. I’m open to weekday and weekend bookings and can accommodate consistent routines or last-minute requests when needed. I provide an attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes, following routines closely, maintaining a calm environment, and ensuring pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and secure.
“This was our first time using Rover in several years and since moving back to NYC from another state. We engaged Doris to stop by our apartment to walk our two large dogs in the middle of a weekday when we both had to be out of town and it sounds like everything went great. One of our dogs, Molly, can be very shy and skittish, so we left Doris detailed instructions about how to deal with her. Doris gave us specific feedback about how Molly did with her (quite well, as it turned out), which made us feel more comfortable about the next time we will need to employ someone to help with the dogs.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have multiple years experience caring for dogs, cats, pocketpets, rabbits, fish, parakeets, reptiles and chickens. I also have experience providing care in a rabbit/cat/small animal rescue and in stables so I am very well rounded when it comes to all manner of pet care. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, etc. Currently my schedule is generally Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm with a bit of leeway here and there. I can do walks and drop ins on evenings and weekends. Knowing what your pet needs in advance makes it easier for me to set my upcoming schedule to accommodate them. And as an added bonus when it comes to working from home: House sitting is a breeze! I am able to give tons of attention during the work day and use my breaks to take pups out for walks and play time. For my own pets I have two cats and guinea pigs. The guinea pigs have a large cage in my spare room/office and there is plenty of room to board other pocket pets if need be. For other people's pets I will absolutely treat them with the same care and attention as my own. I understand that each pet and family is different so I will use your guidance and details to know exactly what your pet needs to make them happy and comfortable!
About: I have always walked and house sat for friends and family members that have multiple dogs, cats, rabbits and more. I have my own dog for over a year, and had family animals for my whole life! I will follow your schedule and pets needs as you instruct. I am comfortable walking on a leash, letting out in a yard, bathing and giving medicine as needed. I am a stay at home mom looking to get out of the house and make a few extra bucks at this time so whatever your need is, I will be there! I will make sure to send photos when I get there and communicate through the entire time. Any issues will be problems solved based on our previous conversations or I will reach out with any concerns.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 8,190 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southfields. 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 Southfields. 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 Southfields.

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 Southfields. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
