“My family and I can’t say enough about Daniel and German. We have a 16 year old Yorkiepoo and last minute found out she couldn’t come with us on our vacation and our neighbor who helps us out was away. Well, went on Rover, saw Daniel and German’s profile and that they were local. Contacted them and within minutes got a response and set up a meet and greet the next morning. When Daniel came he was so engaged and interested in learning all about our girl! He read Maggie really well and we could see immediately it was going to be a great fit! Well it was! The daily texts and videos were so informative and reassuring that indeed we made the right decision! Daniel and German’s intuitiveness, warmth, and genuine love for what they do really stands out! Absolutely an amazing experience for us and for Maggie. She really seemed to thrive in their care! Will definitely be using Daniel and German again!!!”

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

Will definitely be requesting Craig again for any future walking needs. Highly recommend!!”

She’s always on time, checks in with updates and photos, and clearly knows how to handle our quirky duo. It’s such a comfort knowing we can rely on her week after week.

About: Fun and safe care for your Pet! Thank you for visiting my page! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog owner. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important safety and trust are — they are always my top priority. Your dog will receive lots of attention, affection, and care while staying with me. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing, and simply making them feel comfortable and relaxed. I always try to follow each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe and happy while their family is away. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing. Sometimes, just for fun, I practice little games or simple commands with dogs and take cute photos of them during their stay. I’m currently a full-time mom, which gives me the flexibility to give dogs plenty of attention during the day. Our home is calm, safe, and full of love for animals. Your dog will be treated like family here. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am a stay-at-home mom, with plenty of time to take care of pets. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have a 9-year-old daughter who loves animals as much as I do. I have a large backyard and a pet friendly home. I live in walking distance to hiking trails where I regularly take my dog for walks.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs! I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including my soul dog, Hazel, who will always have a special place in my heart. Having been a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy being around animals. I’m also a proud turtle mom to River! Having different pets has taught me that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. A little fun fact about me! The sweet senior dog in my profile photo is actually a Sato rescue from Puerto Rico. I had the opportunity to be a Flight Angel and help transport her from Puerto Rico to NYC so she could start her new life! It was such a special experience, and I’m so happy I got to be a small part of her journey. Something else about me is that I’d love to foster animals someday! I’ve always had a soft spot for rescue animals, and I hope to be able to help more of them find their forever homes in the future. I’m a responsible, trustworthy, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know our pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I’d want for my own! I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and would love to make a regular part of my routine! I currently work during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to coordinate walks and drop-in visits around my availability. I’m also available on weekends! I love spending time with animals, so getting to incorporate that into my week is something I really look forward to. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously! I always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just their favorite way to play! I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will always make sure everything is left just as I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well and getting plenty of love and attention!

Your pet will get maximum engagement and company during the all services as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m Stef, nice to meet you. A little bit about me.. I’ve been caring for animals pretty much my whole life. I actually grew up on a farm, so I was surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, cows… you name it. Being around animals has always been my happy place. I’m active, responsible, and super reliable. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets, even little reptiles like geckos and bearded dragons. I love giving each one the attention they need. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, follow medicine schedule. Your fur baby will truly be in loving hands with me. I care for every pet like they’re my own, and I’m excited to hopefully meet yours soon. I’m a grad student and spend most of my time studying from home and wfh, so my schedule is flexible. I’m usually around throughout the day and can easily plan my routine around walks, feedings, and playtime. I do step out for my workout classes, but they’re short and scheduled, so your pet still gets steady attention and care. Overall, I’m home often and fully available to give them a reliable, loving routine. I have a warm cottage, with a big backyard. They are allowed to run in the yard and I’ll take them on walks around it. They will have a lot of space to play and walk.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

I am free weekends and certain days of the week! I want to make sure your animals feel safe in their space without you for a little while! I want to disrupt their routine as little as I can and my priority is caring for them!

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away

As of October 2026, there are 26,769 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Harrison. 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 West Harrison. 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 West Harrison 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 .

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
