About: I’ve taken care of dogs at age 9. I’m experienced with small and large dogs. Love to play around with them and run around with them! I’m an experienced dog walker! I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. I prefer midday walks, but I’m also available for morning if that works better for your pet’s routine. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s schedule and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I have experience caring for both large adult dogs and young puppies. With larger dogs, I let them safely burn off energy in a fenced yard when available, take them on long walks, and make sure they’re fed on their regular schedule with the correct amount of food and fresh water provided by the owner. With puppies and smaller dogs, I take them on walks, allow them time to rest before and after meals, and keep them entertained with toys and playtime. When the weather is nice and a long leash is provided, I enjoy taking them to a park where they can safely explore, exercise, and have fun. I always follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home’s routine, and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and loving care.

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.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs through helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets over the years. I’ve provided walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care, and I am comfortable adjusting to each dog’s unique personality, routine, and energy level. I am attentive with senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or closer supervision. Because I am home full-time, I am able to give pets consistent attention and quickly notice any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood. I aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs feel secure while their owners are away, and I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Because I am home full-time, I can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. I provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day, and I can adjust to each dog’s schedule and energy level. I prioritize consistency, so dogs can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I am also flexible for early morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, or boarding , making it easy to accommodate busy pet parents in the Yonkers area. I create a safe, calm, and clean environment for every dog in my care. In my home, dogs have a designated space to relax, play, and rest comfortably. I supervise all interactions and walks closely to ensure their safety at all times. I follow each dog’s individual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise, and I am attentive to their energy levels and behavior to prevent stress or accidents. I also keep a tidy, non-toxic home and make sure all toys, bedding, and common areas are clean and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect, follow all instructions precisely, and keep parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy playtime to gentle, patient care for older animals. Pet care is a natural and enjoyable part of my weekly routine. I work part-time in the afternoons, which allows me to dedicate my mornings to caring for pets or house sitting. I’m also available on weekends and can easily adjust my schedule to meet each client’s specific needs. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I make sure every pet receives attentive and reliable care while their owners are away. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and animal-friendly environment. We’re a household that loves animals — with cats, birds, and dogs already part of the family — so visiting pets quickly feel right at home. I have a secure backyard that provides plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always maintain a consistent routine, ensure a clean and safe environment, and give each pet the individual attention and affection they deserve.

About: The main factor that sets me apart from other sitters is flexibility. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own, so walking and taking care of dogs is not just a job for me, it is a lifestyle. As mentioned above I have two dogs which I care for daily which includes walks, daily feeding, park time, and treats. I also take care of neighborhood and family dogs on a weekly basis with several recurring clients. I provide a fenced backyard area for the escape artists, and for those who have training off leash I have additional yard space which is mostly fenced. In the backyard there are several beds and play areas, along with a plethora of toys. Inside, since we have dogs of our own, the inside of my home is ready for any furry visitors including motion detection cameras surveying the inside and outside.

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.

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.

We had a great experience with Antonio as our dog walker for Lazlo. From the start, he’s built a great rapport with Lazlo—it’s obvious how comfortable and happy Lazlo feels around him. We really appreciated how Antonio took the time to ask thoughtful, relevant questions about Lazlo’s routine, behavior, and preferences. It shows he genuinely cares and wants to provide the best possible care. We will be using Antonio for sure in the future.

I have experience with all ages, from puppies under 6 months old to elderly dogs with special needs. I also have experience with small dogs and large dogs. I’m an animal lover and am very patient and loving with all animals. I recently moved to New York for graduate school in social work. Right now my schedule is very open while I look for work in my field. I am available all day, weekdays and weekends, to support your pets needs. :) I naturally speak with a very calm voice and will be attentive to your fur baby’s body language as they ease into feeling comfortable with me.

About: All my life I’ve had a love for animals and my fair share of pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own, not just a job to check off. I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m very reliable with feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and keeping their environment clean.What really sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ pets. I actively engage with them, whether that’s playtime, enrichment, or just giving them the attention and affection they need. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have a lot of free time to walk or visit your fur babies whenever needed! I responsibly care for dogs in their home by following routines, providing food, exercise, and companionship, maintaining cleanliness, monitoring health, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.

Shelly is so great! We were lucky to have the former owners of our place recommend her during our closing. What a relief to not have to search for a new walker. Shelly is communicative, professional, and flexible. Our work schedules vary from week to week and we've been able to find times that work for everyone. Our Lucy is comfortable with her and we don't have to rush home or worry. Very pleased!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 27,862 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.
