About: Hi, I’m T! I have taken care of different ages of dogs and breeds as well. I have experience in walking dogs that pull and being able to redirect them to something else. I love walks, your dog loves walks.. so Me+ Your Dog = Happy Walks. I’m a morning person so I’m up and early, ready to start. I am a college student so I’ll be free from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday- after 12pm afternoon Thursday- after 4pm afternoon Friday, Saturday & Sunday- after 12pm afternoon ^ my schedule is extremely flexible so don’t be afraid to just send me a message. I most likely will make it despite the schedule time listed. My home is fenced in all around with lock pads to prevent trespassers. I believe in upholding safety to the highest. I also have two seperate floors and a fenced backyard.
“Michelle was very kind and understanding about my chaotic pickup and dropoff situation and dealing with my injured dog. She even brought him water because he was panting a lot in the heat. She’s the best- great communicator and so kind. Thank you! ❤️🩹”
About: I was 13 when I got my first Pomeranian puppy. Having a Pomeranian helped teach me patience, calming down an anxious puppy, and understanding boundaries. I also have experience with more hyper breeds such as border collies. When I was 17 my brother bought home a border collie and I helped raise him a lot. I also had many lizards and hamsters. I love bonding with different animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Currently working part time. So I have plenty of time to myself. I am looking for something that makes me feel more connected with myself so I am giving rover a try :) I care for my pets by simply being gentle and trying to understand them. For example- my dog hates the broom when I am sweeping. Instead of yelling at her I put down the broom, picked her up and told her it’s okay. I set her down on my bed, gave her a biscuit, and picked up the broom. As I did this I spoke in a soft voice and told her she’s being good and that it’s okay.
About: Don’t tell anyone, but I might prefer dogs/cats over people! My day is always brightened when I get to take care of and spend quality time with a furry companion. I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have family who have cats that I’ve cared for. I’m taking a break from corporate life to focus on doing what I enjoy. What’s more enjoyable than caring for and playing with pets? My availability is almost entirely open. I always treat every pet with the utmost respect and see to their needs as best I can. I currently have a very friendly five year old Pointer mix, who would love to hang out with your pup! We live across from a public park with trails and access to the beach as well!
About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
“Alexis was amazing! She even came to meet Kash the day before my booking. Very communicative, accommodated my request on really short notice AND on Halloween. She even refilled my candy bowl for me! Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Noelle is an absolute gem! This was her first meeting with Finn, and it couldn’t have gone better. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs—Finn instantly adored her! Not only does she make sure Finn gets plenty of exercise, but she also keeps me updated with adorable photos, which gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands. She’s reliable, friendly, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure Finn is happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful dog walker, Noelle is the one! Highly recommend!”
“Sam is the best. Very reliable, good communication, takes great pictures of my dog. Chewey gives her all paws up! I am so happy with her service. Highly recommend.”
“Oleg was fast in replying my messages. I appreciate that he could walk Santa the same day! She needs at least one hour walking and she came back home tired and hungry, just the way i need, so i can peacefully leave her home sleeping while im out. Thank you Oleg! Will be booking with you again 🤍”
About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs
About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I lived on my aunts farm in the summers growing up. I have two loving and playful pups who are like my children! I care for each animal as if they were mine. I’m a teacher and have the summer off— so I have full availability! I’m up at all hours of the day/night because I have a 9 month old as well ;) I will treat your home and your babies as if they are my own! I have had bad experiences with pet sitters and I know how heartbreaking that can be, so I always give 110%
About: I’ve volunteered working with dogs in the past and have fostered two cats. I also have worked as a dog groomer for the past few years.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Staten Island
Great experience! She was nice, friendly, and arrived right on time. She clearly knows how to handle large-breed dogs, and both Hershey and Rocky accepted her instantly, which says a lot. She was easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.
Samantha has gone above and beyond time and time again while caring for and walking my dog, Obi. She is always highly responsive, reliable, and very understanding when it comes to scheduling changes. I’m very selective about who I trust to walk my dog, and I would definitely recommend Sam to any dog owner.
Molly is such a sweet heart who really cares about the animals she is taking care of. She was a life saver for Christmas, she came twice to walk my Callie so I could celebrate with my family. She was prompt for time and handled Callie well. I will definitely being using her again!! Highly recommend her!

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

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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
