Yazmine was great! She showed up right on time, brought treats, and totally won Winnie over within minutes. I had to change the walk time kind of last minute and she was super flexible about it, which I really appreciated. Definitely planning to book her again!

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!

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! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a one-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your pup. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I have experience walking and caring for other dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m comfortable handling energetic pups as well as dogs that prefer a slower pace. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. As a dog owner myself, I know how important routines, communication, and reliability are. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and help make their day fun, active, and stress-free! I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I always make time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for in a calm and loving environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while your pup is with me. Moreover, my home is always clean and dog safe. I’m experienced with crate training, basic training, grooming, and handling dogs with different personalities, and I always treat every dog like family. I also have a friendly one-year-old girl French Bulldog who loves other dogs and can provide companionship and playtime for social pups. I always supervise interactions to make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable.

Darianny was really great! Our pup absolutely loved her, and she was very kind and accommodating to his needs (and big personality 😂). She spent extra time to get to know him, which we greatly appreciated as well. We would recommend her to anyone else looking for a kind and dedicated dog walker/caretaker, and we hope to see her again soon. 🐾❤️

About: Hello my name is Jose but I rather be called JC. I’ve been a dog walker for 5 years now. I have two dogs so I know how to deal with more than one dog while walking around. I usually walk around my dogs around riverside or central park cause it open and has a lot of fresh air. I’m not used to house sitting but I'm willing to but a week in advance. I'm also not used to taking care of cats but if needed I will take care of only hypoallergenic cats. (just in case I'm allergic) I love animals of all shape and sizes and I'm looking forward to anyone that is looking for my services. 3 word to best describe me will be responsible, reliable, and punctual.

About: With six years of dedicated companionship with my own beloved dog, I've honed my pet care skills to perfection. From daily walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I understand the importance of providing love, attention, and personalized care to furry friends. Whether it's administering medication, following specific dietary needs, or simply offering companionship, I pride myself on creating a safe and nurturing environment where pets thrive. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a top priority for me. Each day begins with a morning walk, ensuring my furry friend gets the exercise they need to start their day right. Throughout the week, I schedule regular feeding times and play sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also carve out time for grooming, whether it's brushing their coat or trimming their nails, to ensure their well-being and hygiene. Additionally, I make it a point to dedicate quality time for bonding activities, such as training sessions or simply snuggling on the couch. By seamlessly integrating pet care into my routine, I provide consistent love and attention to my furry companion, enriching both of our lives. Regardless of the setting, I remain attentive to each pet's individual needs, whether it's administering medication, providing grooming services, or simply offering companionship and reassurance. Regular communication with clients ensures that they are kept informed about their pet's well-being and any notable updates during their absence. Ultimately, my goal is to provide loving and responsible care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.

About: I enjoy creating a special bond with dogs and cats, always going beyond walking, feeding, and keeping them company. I am committed to not disrupting current schedules while providing extra enrichment and giving your baby another human to trust. It is important to me that everyone leaves better because of that trust and time spent, including myself. Special skills include long term care, caring for 3+ animals, puppy training, medication administration (including cbd), senior care, caring for anxious animals, as well as reptile care (I am a reptile parent). I work freelance, giving me full control of my weekly schedule. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine because it is already a part of my routine, I have been in pet care consistently for 6 years. I also must be walked daily, and enjoy taking those walks in different neighborhoods with different companions. I prefer to care for pets in spaces where they feel comfortable and safe, their home. While I am in your home I am always respectful and clean. It is important to me that I have an understanding of house rules, your pets schedule, and emergency contacts including their vet.

About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!

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!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Yonkers

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Yonkers on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 28,015 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Yonkers. 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 Yonkers. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Yonkers.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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 Yonkers. 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.
