“Victoria was wonderful! She walked my 2 yo beagle twice a day for two weeks while I worked from home at the end of the summer. He couldn’t contain his excitement when he saw her coming up the driveway! She was on time and kept me updated with any concerns. I’ll definitely be working from home more now that we’ve found her.”
About: Hi! I’m Jules, and I’ve had pets my whole life and would love to help out fellow pet lovers. I’m currently located in Laurel, NY. Will be available weekdays and as needed. On the days I sit, your pets will be my number one priority. I look forward to meeting everyone and their sweet pets. I have an indoor cat who never goes outside, we make sure he stays far away from any open doors. Also have an indoor rabbit.
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs. I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication, so pet parents feel fully confident while they’re away. I work three days a week at my primary job, which gives me ample flexibility to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On my days off, I’m available for walks and/or drop-ins. I offer both dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, designed to keep your pets happy, active, and comfortable in their own environment. I treat each pet like my own and follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away.
About: I grew up in a house full of animal lovers. I have always wanted to work with animals, and caring for pets has been an absolute pleasure for the past 15 years. I love my job and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets are properly cared for and loved while you are away. I also provide dog walking, minimum of 1 hr walk required to book, and boarding in my home. I am reliable, punctual, honest, have common sense, and a huge heart. We can set up a meet and greet free of charge to make sure that me and your pets are a good fit. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to hearing from you! I am available for dog walks, drop ins, boarding, or overnights in your home. There is an hour minimum for dog walks and for drop ins I offer overnight stays in the pets home. I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, and make them feel safe and comfortable with me. I also offer dog boarding. Your dog will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while staying in my home.
About: I had a dog when I was younger and currently have a 4 year old Westie and an 8 month old Aussichon. I have been working at a doggy daycare for over 9 months. So I have experience with dozens, if not hundreds, of all kinds of Dogs. I have worked with trainers and researched extensively on different training methods for my dogs. I am at home most of the time and can dedicate my time to your fur baby with play and fun, and so much more! Currently, I work Thursday through Saturday at a doggy daycare but can arrange to bring your dog with me to work if you want (you'd have to pay the company's daycare price). I will give you a discount if you decide you want me to take your doggo with me. I have 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company and can crate if needed. I also have ADT Security System in my house. I could send video of footage of your pup and can take them to the park for an extra fun time.
About: I have experience running my own pet care business caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and personalities! including senior pets, diabetic pets and those who require a little extra attention. I specialize in making anxious dogs feel calm and safe while their pet parent is away! Feel free to check out my business website! ........ I have always had a flexible schedule, so fitting in daily walks or dog care on weekends is no issue. I would not leave your pup alone for a long period as I usually don’t work long hours. I will provide your pup with all the attention he/she craves and make sure the meals/meds are given on time. I don’t mind doing some extra things like watering house plants, bringing in mail and I especially love giving dog massages if your he/she enjoys that!
About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve. Now that I’m back home, I’m excited to offer local pet care with the same level of professionalism and heart I’ve brought to every sit nationwide. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal. This includes bathing, always making sure they have food and water/or following specific feeding times, play time, walks, pets, relaxation time.

Elizabeth was amazing with our dog who has anxiety when left alone. She took the time to let Addie get comfortable and we are very grateful to have found such a caring dog walker. While Addie would not venture far during the walks Elizabeth spent the rest of the visit sitting near her.

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 Southold. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
