About: I have extensive professional and personal experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, as well as injections like insulin, and following special care instruction. I currently have a lot of availability so I have a bunch of time to get to know your pets! Please message me regarding house sitting availability. I focus on maintaining their normal routine to minimize stress when caring for pets in a client’s home. I provide updates, photos, and notes after each visit so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs, and currently have a cat! I have always lived with a pet and understand what an important part of our lives they are. Let’s discuss your pet’s needs so you can be more at ease while you are away. I look forward to meeting you! I work from home Tuesday/Thursdsy/Friday and in albany Monday/Wednesday 8-4pm. I am very flexible to work with you on a customized care plan for your fur babies. I do not watch animals in my own home, but I take extra precautions to leave your home just as I found it, and make sure your pet is secure when I arrive and leave.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.

About: I’ve taken care of a few of my friends dogs in the past, I’m the only one the owners trusted to take/watch their dogs. Overnight, walks, feeding, cleaning & because I don’t have a fenced in back yard, I take any dogs I watch to a dog park that is located around the corner from my house. I’m currently a stay at home mother. I take care of my 1 and a half year old son everyday. He goes with his father on the weekends so from Friday night-Sunday night, I am kid free and those are the nights that it will be easiest for me to care for any animal overnight, but I will do so with my son here as well. He LOVES animals too! There is a dog park 2 mins from my place that I can take the dogs to run around and play in since I don’t have a yard, I will take them out for a walk every 2-3 hours to make sure they have a potty break. If your pet needs a bath, I will bathe them for you. I also have 2 friendly cats for your pets to play with.

I’m based in North Greenbush/Wyantskill area and typically accept bookings within a 5-mile radius.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. I have gone through 5 dogs growing up and have always been surrounded by the pets of friends and family! I’ve always loved every kind of animal, I believe the bond between a dog or cat and their human is truly unconditional. I’m eager to meet and care for more furry friends! I work a couple part time jobs during the week and my schedule is always changing! I am looking for Rover as a side job to help me out during my slower days! I live in an Inlaw apartment under my mom‘s house. We have a fenced in backyard. I only have one cat in my apartment, and my mom has two dogs that are very friendly. We have a walking trail along a river across the street from our house!

About: I have been caring for pets for friends and family for many years. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty when it comes to cleaning up pet messes. Plus I love sending photos to owners to assure them that their pets are happy and cared for. I am mostly available weeknights and weekends. I am currently working full-time, but I have the ability to check in on pets during the day if needed. Weekday mornings are usually a little busy for me. While I cannot currently offer housing for pets in my home, partly due to a cat diva, I can promise to be respectful of any home I enter.

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, but didn’t get into professional animal care till about 2 years ago. Since then I have worked at several daycares and been the Assistant Manager at one! I’ve been around all types of pups from your most nervous dogs to your ultra reactive barkers. I’m always willing to work with you and your dogs! I have plenty of time to see your pups as I work primarily in the morning. I am also very flexible with drop-ins and can do most last minute appointments. DISCLAIMER: I do not stay overnight for my house-sitting requests. I have 5 dogs of my own that while I’d love to bring them with me, I cannot. I am able to be there first thing in the AM and as late as needed in the afternoon. My own pup loves other dogs so if you’re comfortable with your pup having a doggy friend, she is able to tag along! I am comfortable with any necessary oral medication administering, normal feedings, and normal play time with the pups! I am also able to do light training if interested. If needed, I can also do nail trims for an additional price.

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.

Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, administering oral medications if needed, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I understand how important consistency and patience are when caring for animals, and I always strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure. Outside of pet sitting, I'm a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to follow instructions carefully. I know how important it is to be reliable, communicate clearly, and respond promptly. If your pet has specific routines or special care instructions, you can trust that I'll follow them closely. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. My availability includes mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays.

In my home, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention. I have an open yard for supervised outdoor time and a nearby park for fun walks and exercise. When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll stick closely to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and keep your home tidy while you’re away.

Once again Hannah came through for us last weekend when I was out of town. We (Petey and I) love and trust Hannah; and Petey is always super excited when Hannah comes to take care of him. Hannah always communicates well and is very diligent when she works and she is always great at sharing information and making adjustments when needed. This is our 3rd time working with Hannah, she is always the first person we think about when we are looking for someone to take care of Petey. Hannah always has a second home here. We always truly value and appreciate Hannah and look forward to working with her again very soon!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Watervliet

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Watervliet is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 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 October 2026, there are 1,097 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Watervliet. 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 your Watervliet. 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 , 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 Watervliet 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watervliet. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 .

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.
