“Fabulous, walk requested on short notice. Punctuation, followed directions. There was a snafu with elevator access on my part, and he made it work. Thank you and look forward to using again. Highly recommend.”

“Maria did wonderful walking and playing with my sweet girl! I have a senior pet and she was very easily able to adapt with her to fit her needs. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: I am a loving and caring person who believes dogs are better then humans, I love to play with them all day, or as long as I can, and give them all the love and care in the world. I am super friendly, and am willing to have a flexible schedule. I am a avid dog owner myself, and have been since the day I was born, I've lived with all types of dogs, from big to small, as well as high energy to no energy. Im am ready for anything! Dogs are what make me happy in life, and I love to see them happy and healthy as well. I will take great care of your animals as I would take care of my own.
About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
“Alix was amazing! Finny absolutely loved Alix! Alix was always on time everyday to pickup Finny and let him out. She brought him all over town on his daily walks which he loves. I would highly recommend recommend Alix for any Rover service! We will absolutely be booking Alix again.”

About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and have been a dog owner for the past three years. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to routines. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important trust and consistency are, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m currently a nursing student in a hybrid program, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate different needs. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around pet routines. I have one very friendly, medium sized playful dog, and there is a dog park at my apartment that I visit often for safe play and exercise. I always supervise pets closely and follow owner instructions.
About: I’ve raised, fostered, and cared for pets for over two decades, including puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and everything in between! I can administer medication, and provide special care. I have trained my own dogs (seven), fosters under my care (over 30), and helped friends and clients train their dogs. I am happy to reinforce any training you are currently doing with your pet, so all of your hard work does not get undone. Whether it is daily walks and stimulation, an overnight stay, or an extended trip, you can rest easy knowing your loved one will receive love and attention, exercise, enrichment, and all the snack snacks you’ll allow! I have my own business and work from home. I’m fortunate to have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to prioritize pets’ needs (walks, potty breaks, playtime). Under my care, your loved one will be my top priority. I have a fenced in yard, and two friendly dogs. However, your pup’s safety and comfort will be a top priority. My dogs are crate trained, and if yours is too, I’m happy to reinforce that. I can also keep dogs separated, and still provide ample space for them to feel comfortable. My home is very safe, quiet, and dog friendly.
About: Hi there! My name is Ana. I know the feeling and uncertainty of leaving of my pet with anyone when I travel or need it. That’s why I started Rover. My goal is to make sure you can be confident leaving your pet in safe company and companionship while you enjoy or be fully present in whatever it is you are leaving for. ***Big on taking in only 1-2 pets at time, my reason for this is I take my care for the animals seriously. I want to give your pet the attentiveness it deserves and extra care.*** I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Starting with my own pets, then helping family and friends, and eventually fostering cats/kittens and dogs/pupies for several years. I’m deeply experienced with all kinds of personalities:from playful puppies to shy rescues and I know how to make animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special attention for nervous pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me for reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life,whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quiet time with animals, it’s second nature to me. I’m used to adjusting my routine to meet each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, medication schedules, or extra cuddle time. I work from home, so that’s super helpful. Also my fiance wfh a lot so he loves helping! I treat every pet like a little soul in my care—whether they’re staying with me or I’m in their space. In my home, I create a calm, cozy vibe with safe spaces, soft spots to rest, and plenty of love (plus playtime, if they’re into that!). When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel grounded and secure. I move with their energy—whether that means zoomies, belly rubs, or quiet companionship.
“Kelly is exactly what we hoped to find when looking for a dog sitter. She is responsible, good communicator, keeping us in loop with timing/coming and goings, sending pics and letting us know how things are going when we are away, good with our fur babies, and kept our home in good shape while we were gone. Kelly is awesome!”

“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”

Ariane received a key to my apartment day one of our first visit, I was confident in her ability’s to take great care of my dog. She was on point, professional,communicative, and attentive to detail. I was very impressed with all the questions asked and care and thought into making sure all bases were covered. My dog loves her and I receive the happiest of photos! I will continue using Ariane in comfort knowing I’m receiving the best care for my dog for his lunch walks!

Alix was amazing! Finny absolutely loved Alix! Alix was always on time everyday to pickup Finny and let him out. She brought him all over town on his daily walks which he loves. I would highly recommend recommend Alix for any Rover service! We will absolutely be booking Alix again.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Washington Heights.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
