About: I am an experienced, caring, mature dog walker who has been a life-long dog, animal, and nature lover. I am a professional ecologist and life coach who works mainly from home, allowing me to be available for dog walking. I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. As a child, my family used to breed labrador retrievers; now we have corgis. Love them! If you want someone dependable and smart who will love your dog while you're away or at work, I'm your person. My family has lived in the area for many years. I am available weekdays and most weekends as needed. Your dog will be in good hands. I'll feed your cats too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you for your consideration. I am a semi-retired ecologist and conservationist who manages a non-profit organization from home, so I am usually nearby and readily available. I was raised in a family that bred Labrador Retrievers and have always lived with dogs and cats (and lost of other critters). I currently have three corgis - two Pembroke Welsh and one American (Pembroke and Cardigan). I have a fenced yard and can care for gentle, corgi and child friendly pups. Most of my work is at client's homes. I'll make sure gates are closed and yards are safe and fresh water is available. I pay attention to weather conditions, accommodating for rain, hot, or cold weather. I pay attention to my surroundings on walks and in the yard to keep your pup safe.

As a more mature pet sitter you can trust me to be available to care for your fur babies as I understand how much you love them and are looking for a trusted friend .

About: Hi there, I am a lifelong dog owner; I am experienced and caring. I love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I've never met a dog who didn't like me! I'm never bored as long as there's a dog nearby :) I'm also a Stony Brook University student with a flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. I'll take great care of your dog(s) and your home. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet... My other job is seasonal landscaping, however my boss is very flexible and lenient when it comes to my Rover job. My landscaping will never interfere with my care for your pet. At my client's home your pet's safety and wellbeing is always my priority. If I have any questions I will always ask the pet owner and follow whatever schedule and instructions they have laid out.

“Our pup loves Jeff. We had Jeff give Cookie a walk while we were out for the day. He arrived at our home at the time requested and sent us pictures of the walk. It gave us the freedom to stay out and not rush home knowing Cookie was in good hands!”

About: When it comes to your pets, I understand how important their comfort, safety, and happiness are. I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve fostered pets, helped them find loving homes, and have taken care of everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra attention. I’m also big on communication—you’ll always stay updated. I send frequent messages, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs special care, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel loved and well cared for every step of the way. All I need to do is boxing. Monday to Friday for about an hour either in the morning or night. Saturday is boxing in the morning. In my home and my clients’ homes, I focus on giving pets a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I pay close attention to their routines, personality, and any special needs so they always feel cared for and understood. I keep a clean space, make sure doors and gates are secure, and always supervise play—especially with high-energy dogs. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or needs extra support, I adjust to their pace so they feel confident and comfortable. I’m also very communication-focused. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind.

About: Hi! I love taking care of dogs and am here for your dogs when you are busy! I usually help out my friends by taking their dogs on walks :) I work usually Wednesday through Sunday from 5am to 3pm but can take care of pets after and go to class on Tuesdays from 9:30 to 1. Mondays I am free all day! I will follow any rules given as you know the pets more than I do and want to make them feel safe and comfortable around a person who is not their owner :)

About: Hi! I'm Bri ☺️ I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've lived with animals since before I could talk, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years I've had the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each of them unique. 🐶🐈 I'm currently offering walking and drop in visits. I know every fur baby is different. Some want to play the entire visit, while others are happiest taking a slow, sniffy walk or getting belly rubs on the couch. I'm happy to meet them where they're comfortable and give them the kind of care that helps them feel relaxed and happy. 🐾 As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby. I treat each and every one as if they were my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I'll also send lots of photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. 📸 I'm comfortable caring for baby, adult, and senior pets and I can administer oral medications if needed. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your fur baby. I can't wait to meet you guys! 🩷 I work from home, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, so let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to make it work! 😊 Your baby's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, playing with a specific toy, or reinforcing your training routines. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your fur baby gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. 🩷

“Brett was absolutely amazing with our boy, Tex. I had to go away for a weekend and the person I had set up to walk Tex had to leave town (my fiance was able to care for him but is diabled so couldn't walk him) so I was in a bind. I signed up on Rover and found Brett. She met with Tex before I left and she was amazing. THEN...another friend who was going to walk Tex, suddenly became sick and had to cancel a few walks (I was already 8hrs away and panicking). Brett stepped in last minute and covered those walks too! I don't know what I would've done without her!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wading River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wading River is $30 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $56 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,502 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wading River. 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 Wading River. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wading River after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Wading River. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
