About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I love making sure animals feel safe loved and comfortable. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they always have fresh water. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to keep owners informed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and well cared for, just like I would care for my own dog.

About: I grew up in a household always with a pet and sometimes two. Having mostly taken care of small/medium sizes dogs and some large. Ive pet sit before for different friends and family, taking care of a variety of breeds, all the way from Chihuahuas and Jack Russel Terriers to Huskies and Golden retrievers. Currently I have no pets permanently living with me since I moved away from home for college. But on occasion I pet sit for my parents or take their dog to doggy day care. Im a part time college student and I do all my schooling online, so i'm always home. I do work in the evenings for 4-6 hours but I live with my sister who is a web designer and is often home too. I currently live in a townhouse, which has plenty of room for your furry friend. I don't mind your doggo lounging on the furniture or sleeping on the bed with me. I can feed your pet based on whatever schedule you have them on. There's plenty of grassy area in the communal living area and a near by park to take your pup on daily walks. I also love to give photos and video updates of your pets stay with me.

About: I've taken care of my own dog and cats for over 10 years, as well as others' fur babies. My love for animals makes this a job that I actually enjoy and feel passionate about. Your pets will be safe and happy with me. I am stepping down to part time at my current job so that I can make more time for sitting/walking! My schedule will therefore be much more flexible. Whether your yard is fenced in or not, I will cautiously watch your fur baby and make sure they are safe at all times (doors closed/locked, leashed when walking, etc.)

About: I've been surrounded by and taken care of animals my entire life, and I want to be your new trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker! I have a standard poodle named Remy and maine coon cat named Bash at home, and they are my everything. I've fostered kittens (as young as 2.5 weeks old) for six years now and have been a petsitter for longer. I'm great with people and even better with cats and dogs. I want to keep your pets safe and happy, and you worry-free! I can administer medicine, trim nails, walk any size dog, clean, monitor urine and stool output, keep track of mood and general signs for concern, and I love sending cute update pictures so you know your pets are thriving! I just graduated with my master’s in occupational therapy and I’m studying for my boards, so my days are free and I’d love to sit for you or care for your pets however you need! I'm great at following directions and problem-solving, and I'll do whatever I can to make sure you're comfortable with me entering your home to care for your pets. I understand different types of collars, leashes, and equipment needed to guarantee a pet's safety. I am very aware of my surroundings and good at reading a pet's energy and potential reactivity. I've had animals my entire life, so closing the door quickly and not letting pets out is second nature to me. I know your pets are your family, and I will treat them as such!

About: I have 3 dogs from ages 1 to 13, so I’m experienced with everything from puppy training to senior care—every dog gets personalized love . Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. As the owner of Daisy Pet Spa, I spend my days caring for dogs and making their comfort and well-being my priority. At home, I also have three dogs of my own, so my daily routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of one-on-one attention. I only take on a manageable number of bookings so every pet receives the time, patience, and personalized attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they have a safe space to relax. I treat every pet like one of my own and respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: Hi there! My name is Kendra. I come with 12+ years of veterinary technician experience. I currently work as a CVT in a veterinary ICU. I am happy to provide care to pets who may need additional TLC, such as senior or special needs pets. Outside of work, I have two cats (Autumn & Creme Brulee) and two dogs. Violet is my mini doodle who I adopted after she was found to have a swallowing disorder, and Emmie Lou is my Australian Shepherd who loves to live her life on the wild side. We love going for walks, long hikes, and various training events like lure courses, agility and dock diving. Both of my girls have earned their CGC (Canine Good Citizens) among other ribbons and sport titles. Loving animals is my whole life and I can't wait to love your fur babies too! 💗 I am available to do drop-in visits (short walks, feeding, play time, medication administration, etc.), or longer walks/hikes for those that may need the extra exercise. I am also available for house sitting upon request. I schedule pet care on my days off from my full-time job. I can also provide house sitting upon request (availability will not routinely be posted for this so feel free to send me a message!). Unfortunately, due to renting I cannot provide pet care in my own home. I can do drop-in visits or longer term house sitting in your home, which I would prefer anyway as I feel pets are usually the most comfortable in their own homes. When walking any dogs outside of a fenced in yard, I will always implement the use of double leashes for added safety.

About: Pets have always been an important part of my life! As a former dog owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else's care. I've also regularly cared for friends' and family members' dogs and cats, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a gentler approach and extra attention. I've also cared for multiple pets at once and have experience administering medication, always following the owner's instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit for feeding and companionship, overnight care in your home, or a comfortable stay while you're away, my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, favorite activities, routines, and quirks so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is in good hands, which is why I prioritize clear communication, photos, and updates throughout each booking. I will follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. Every pet deserves personalized care, and every owner deserves peace of mind. I'd love to get to know you and your pets and help make time apart a little easier for everyone! I plan my pet care bookings around my weekly schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care. I coordinate walks, drop-in visits, and other bookings in advance so I can accommodate each pet's routine and needs. My availability varies by day and service, with opportunities for evening, weekend, and overnight care depending on my calendar. I keep my availability updated, communicate clearly with pet parents, and make sure expectations are established before each booking. My goal is to make scheduling easy for you while providing consistent, loving care for your pets! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my priorities! I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medication to walks and favorite activities. I’m mindful of keeping pets safe, securing doors and gates, and respecting your home. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your furry family members are doing! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to treat them like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication times. Consistency is key, so I make sure my visits are always on time and unrushed—your pet gets my full attention every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their animals with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow the pet’s regular routines—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure fresh water is always available, litter boxes are cleaned, and living areas are tidy. If medications are needed, I administer them exactly as directed. I also spend quality time giving affection and companionship, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Before leaving, I ensure the home is secure, lights and doors are as you prefer, and you receive an update with photos so you know everything is safe and well.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wappingers Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wappingers Falls is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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 1,634 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wappingers Falls. 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 Wappingers Falls. 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 Wappingers Falls 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 Wappingers Falls. 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.
