“Jorge was an excellent communicator, pre-booking, at pick up, and drop off. My dog, Ocho, was very excited upon meeting Jorge. The walk went above the extended time. I peaked out the window and saw Jorge playing and running on the grass with my dog, which he loves! By the time they made it back upstairs, Jorge was sweatingggg! Ocho gave him a good workout lol. Ocho also wanted to stay with Jorge, which is always a good sign! Can’t wait to book Jorge again!”

About: Hi pet parents! I’m Midory. As a proud mom of two and a dedicated pet owner, my days are full of activity, structure, and a whole lot of love for animals. I specialize in walking and caring for dogs who thrive in lively environments and absolutely adore being around children.Because we are a busy, pet-loving household, your dog will get plenty of attention, built-in socialization, and a consistent routine. I know how important it is to keep pets safe and active while you are away, so I tailor our walks to your dog’s specific energy level.Our home is a warm, family-friendly space where your pup will be treated just like one of our own. I provide regular photo updates and transparent communication so you always have total peace of mind. I can't wait to meet your kid-friendly pup for some fun and exercise! Mornings between 8-11am as long as dogs are kid friendly.On weekends any time and I can also do anytime after 4pm on weekdays if needed. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your dog's safety as my top priority. During walks, I strictly follow your preferred routes, use secure leashes, and practice positive reinforcement. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your established routine: feeding on time, refreshing water, administering any needed medications, and providing plenty of play and affection. Before leaving, I always double-check that your home is secure, the pup is settled, and I send you a detailed update with photos.
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. I’m new to providing pet care professionally, but I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine and needs. I’ll always take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved I’m available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, with flexible availability on Saturdays. On Sundays, I’m available after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable, attentive care during the times I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and visits, and make sure they have a calm and safe environment. I’ll also keep you updated during each visit.

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds back in my country, Georgia. I fed and took care of many feral dogs as well as domestic. Over the last two years, I've assisted my partner in her dog walking endeavors and have learned a lot about their behaviors. I'm very strong and can make sure your dog will be safe and active with me, if needed. I have experience with different breeds including the Caucasian Shepherd, large mixes and apartment breeds. My schedule is very flexible so I have open availability at the moment. I'm looking forward to walking your pup any time, any day. I have a yard at home and a puppy and cats to keep them company. My partner is also usually home to care for them if I need to be anywhere. Whether at mine or yours, I will follow their schedule and make sure your pup is thriving.
“After my original dog walker no-showed for the walk-through that had been confirmed 8 hrs prior, I was in a pickle. We had 3 days to find someone to walk & feed our 3 dogs of varying ages and personalities. Kristine not only was available, she came to the walk through prepared with all the right questions to put us at ease. Jacqi, Caryn and Stevie can be a lot for anyone but she handled 8 days like a pro who genuinely cared. And to top it off we received at least 5 photos from every visit. We returned after a week away to happy and well cared for dogs and Kristine is the reason why. If you ever need a pet sitter, look no further!”

About: I have experience caring for three dogs. One was named Maia, an Australian Shepherd who belonged to my aunt. She was very energetic, and I spent a lot of time playing with her. I also cared for a German Shepherd named Rex. Although he was calmer, I played with him frequently as well. The third was Mango, a very small puppy with lots of energy. I fed all three dogs the appropriate amount of food based on their weight and at their scheduled feeding times. I also took them to the park regularly, although I took Mango less often because he was still a puppy. I am available to work on weekdays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and I can also start as early as 8:00 AM when needed. During that time, I am happy to care for your pet by providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. If the visits involve feeding, I would stay with the pets to play, keep them company, and give them a little extra affection before leaving the owner's home—naturally, always within the limits and guidelines provided to me. As for walks, I would make sure to bring everything necessary to ensure the pet feels comfortable and has a good, playful time.

“Nicole is great. She helped me last minute in a pinch. I broke my foot so I can’t walk much and she helped me on Easter when everyone else was busy. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been passionately caring for dogs since I was 13 years old. Over the years, I’ve fostered and adopted multiple dogs, specializing in communication-based training, housebreaking, and custom communication techniques. I’ve successfully trained dogs to express their needs clearly—whether signaling to go outside, asking for water, or communicating when it's mealtime! Currently, I balance my college studies with working professionally as a dog handler. Because of my professional background in canine behavior and training, I understand how dogs think, learn, and communicate. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, high-energy playtime, or just a calm, confident handler while you're away, they will be in expert hands. Current Fall Schedule (August – December) I balance professional training and college courses, which keeps my routine structured and consistent. I am available for bookings on specific days each week: Morning Shift Days (Work 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Fully available for afternoon walks, drop-ins, evening visits, and overnight house sitting starting after 2:30 PM. Evening Shift Days (Work 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Available for early morning walks, breakfast drop-ins, and mid-day visits up until 1:00 PM. Overnight House Sitting: Available regularly! As long as your dog can be left comfortably during my work/class hours, I provide full overnight care, evening exercise, and morning routines. Winter & Spring Availability (Starting January) Beginning in December, my college semester ends and my availability expands significantly. I will have full, open availability alongside my standard work shifts for drop-ins, walks, and boarding/sitting. When staying at or visiting a client's home, safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog happy and comfortable are my top priorities: Potty Breaks & Routine Maintenance: I stick strictly to your pet's established routine for outdoor breaks, feeding times, and bedtime to keep their environment feeling familiar and stress-free. Appetite & Engagement Solutions: If a dog is feeling anxious or hesitant to eat in a new routine, I use low-impact playtime, light exercise, or gentle mental stimulation to help them settle in, relax, and get their digestive system moving naturally. Home Security & Respect: I treat your home with total respect—keeping doors securely locked, maintaining a clean space, and following all specific instructions regarding gated areas, crate routines, or security systems. Constant Communication & Updates: You will receive regular photo updates, routine check-ins, and immediate communication so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. (Note: I currently do not offer boarding services inside my own home, focusing 100% of my attention on on-site house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking.)
About: I have had dogs in all seasons of my life, and the season I decided not to I still was given a dog , so I will continue to lean into whats meant for me taking care of these furry family friends! If its a joy for me it will be a joy for your doggy too! I'm currently working on my startup , which is exciting and fun , but not so fun on the cash flow So I have time to do something else I love , taking care of dogs! As much as I believe in fun and play , safety and routines are essential to a Dog's wellbeing and overall health. I value following all instructions and doing it with satisfaction !
“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”

“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.

I understand how important it is to build trust between pet owners and sitters as well as between the pets themselves and their sitters! I am detail oriented and will check with you to make sure I understand your pet and their needs, and I love to send updates and photos to check in with owners!

“Linda was great with our Yogi Bear, and he absolutely loved her! We booked her in a squeeze, and she was able to adjust her schedule and make time for us, which we greatly appreciated! She also was very kind and patient with our boy despite his extra energy. And we could tell that she has a lot of experience with dogs- which is important to us as corgi parents. Overall, we look forward to looking with her again soon, and many thanks! 🐾🙂”

“Arianna took great care of our dog, Tallulah! She was super attentive and communicative which helped me feel so safe and confident that Tallulah was in good hands. Our dog got sick and Arianna went above and beyond to make sure she okay and cleaned up after her accidents which was very kind. We really appreciated her help and will definitely be asking her to watch our pup in the future!”

About: We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin has had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in West Mount Vernon is $24

I’ve had an amazing experience with Darianny and couldn’t recommend her more. She’s always on time, communicates clearly, and sends frequent updates, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. Her background as a vet tech made it an easy decision to trust her with Parsley, but what really sets her apart is who she is as a person. The compassion, attention to detail, and genuine love and care she shows Parsley go far beyond her professional experience. It’s obvious she truly cares about the animals she looks after. I always know Parsley is safe, happy, and in great hands with Darianny, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. She’s become someone I completely trust to care for him whenever I’m away!

I highly recommend Christopher! Blue has anxiety, so finding someone patient and understanding was so important. Chris took the time to earn his trust, never rushed him, and always made sure he felt safe and comfortable. Knowing Blue is in such caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. I love receiving the updates and photos, and seeing how excited Blue is for his walks says it all. Thank you for treating Blue like family—I truly appreciate the love, patience, and care you give him!

Arianna has been nothing short of a godsend! She not only walks Titan, who is 135 pound Cane Corso puppy, but she has also trained him. She is so professional, loving, organized, and knowledgeable that I wish I had found her sooner. When I got home after their first day together, it was like I had a brand new dog. He listened so attentively to his commands. He was so much better at loose leash walking, and he seemed to be over his Dog reactivity issues and I credit Arianna to this fully. I saw on my ring camera, how loving and patient she was with him each time. She took him out and brought him back, and I could tell by the way that he looked at her that he loved her and respected her immediately. I think everybody should have a walker as great knowledgeable, professional, and loving as Arianna. It was very hot that day, and she was also attentive to making sure his water dish was filled after each walk and she made sure he drank water before he went on his walks, and in addition, she also brought water and a dish on their walks because she was concerned about him.

I highly recommend Tatiana. She is always punctual, pleasant, and wonderful with my anxious dog, Bud. He genuinely looks forward to his walks with her. Tatiana is attentive, caring, and keeps me updated on any concerns she notices during their walks. Her reliability and communication give me great peace of mind, and I’m very impressed with the care she provides.

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 Mount Vernon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
