“Jorge was great and very attentive to Ripley's walking needs. We appreciate his flexibility during our recent series of walks. Jorge will definitely be on our favorites list. Thanks!”
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.)
“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: For the past 4 years I have worked with dogs in various capacities from walking, to bathing to training. My role as a doggie daycare handler provides me with constant exposure to dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments meaning no matter how big or small or excited or silly I can handle your pup. My background in training means I can provide your pup with structured care tailored to their needs. I’m currently working part-time, but have more than enough time or you and your pet. I have more free time on the weekdays, but may have time on select weekends or at night. I will dedicate my time to ensuring your pups needs are met whether that be feeding, walking or bathing. As I’ll be stepping into their home environment I’ll be sure to show your dog respect and patience as they get to know me.
“Lyndsey was super! I requested her help late Monday night and she answered right away and was able to help us for the week starting the next day! She was super attentive, listened to my novels, and handled our new pup with ease despite his sometimes less than perfect behavior on walks. She showed up on time, paid attention to Hudson’s preferences, and was super communicative with me while I was away. I knew Hudson was in good hands and he now has a new friend both he and I appreciate more than we can say! We’ll definitely be using Lyndsey again and have already recommended her to friends!”
“Sally was amazing! I needed someone to walk my puppies at the last minute, and she responded so quickly. She arrived on time, was very knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel comfortable. Both of my puppies loved her during our meet and greet, including my more skittish rescue whom I recently adopted. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Aymet was beyond amazing. She took great care of my lil Joliee. She was kind and consistent with sending updates. She is gentle, understanding and patient with the furbabies. Thank you so much. I will book again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I was raised with cats and two dobermans, and I began regularly pet sitting locally in my early teens. I’m comfortable with administering medicine, and I love getting to know pets and taking care of their needs! I am knowledgeable about training and am detail oriented to make sure your pet is comfortable and following their daily routine as closely as possible. I currently have two kitties at home and appreciate how important it is to find an attentive pet sitter for your beloved pets! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your sweet animal(s)! I’m currently working part time, and I am able to comfortably arrange my schedule to fit your pets’ needs! While I do not board, I am regularly available to stay overnight to house/pet sit! 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!
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.
“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! 🐾🙂”
“Katie communicated when she picked up and dropped off my dog. I was able to watch pick up/drop off via my Ring cameras and she was kind to my pup and he seemed to immediately take a liking to her! I would recommend her to walk your dog! Thanks Katie:)”
“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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have been caring for different breeds on my own since my teenage years. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets, and I’m also a proud dog parent to Bob and cat parent to Nathan! I truly love animals and would be delighted to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m a real estate agent serving Westchester, NYC, and Long Island, which gives me a very flexible schedule. While most of my showings are on weekends, I work remotely during the week and can be fully present with your pets. I’m happy to provide overnight care as well, so your furry friends (and your home) are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. In your home, I follow your care instructions closely — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and of course plenty of love and playtime. I aim to keep everything feeling normal and stress-free while you’re away. If pets stay with me, they receive constant supervision, a clean and cozy environment, and lots of enrichment and attention. I’m very attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Mount Vernon
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.
5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.
Bella was really great with our Yogi Bear! It was his second time walking with her, and he already has grown attached. She is very dedicated and even worked with us to align schedules when there was a family emergency. We look forward to booking more future walks with her 🙂🐾.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker! She is incredibly professional, always punctual, and truly treats my dog like her own. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. She provides updates after walks and pays attention to the little details, which shows how much she genuinely cares. My dog gets so excited whenever she arrives, and that alone speaks volumes. She’s kind, and goes above and beyond every time. I’m so grateful we found her — she’s absolutely wonderful!

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 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. 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 West Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 87% 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 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.
