“Margaret is a very patient and hard working woman! My dog is a rescue and very skittish of strangers. She barely lets anybody put on her harness. By day 2, Margaret was taking her on walks and my dog was playing with her when they got back! So as long as my dog is happy, I’m happy. Margaret is an excellent Rover dog care giver that will exceed needs and wants of your pet standards ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: Hi! I have always loved working with pets. I have owned pets since I was a child and I have dealt with both cats and dogs. I spent time working at a doggy daycare called Ruff Housing and I got to learn further how to take care of a variety of dog types with a variety of personalities. I look forward to getting to spend some time with your pets and giving them all the love when you can't be there! I currently work from home and get to create my own hours so I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pets or make sure I am able to walk them. I enjoy taking some time to go on walks during the day so I would love to include your pet on them! I have a fenced in yard as well as access to a dog park and walking trail. I have two fur babies that love to play and will keep your pup entertained. I can crate dogs as needed! I am willingly to work with any requests to ensure your fur baby has the best time away from home and is safe and cared for in your absence.

About: As a family of animal lovers with past pet‑business experience, I know how to give pets the gentle, reliable care they deserve. Our own pup, Duke (1.5), is a special‑needs dog himself, so we truly understand patience, routine, and calm support. He’s playful, friendly, and loves making new furry friends at their own pace. I have plenty of time to play with your pet. I’m available every day after 4 PM, and on weekends we’re flexible as needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog who can keep your pup company if they enjoy that. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs — whether they need a calmer environment, slower activities, medication, or extra reassurance. I always adjust to whatever helps them feel safe. They’ll get supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely and can send photo updates throughout the day.

About: Hi, I'm Natalie! I've been pet sitting for over 10 years! I love all dogs and cats big and small, nothing is too big of a challenge for me! I have two dogs, two cats, and had a sweet kitten who sadly passed from cancer way too young, so I can help with sick/special needs pets. I can do drop in visits, walks, in home care and house sit if needed. I am extremely dependable and have glowing references from long term clients (and their pets too). I would love to meet your pets and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away! I love sending picture and/ or video updates and I always reply pretty quickly. I am not afraid to ask questions when I need to and always have the pets best interest in mind:) I currently only work part time in the service industry (no long nights) so I have plenty of time to fit your pet into my routine:) I usually like to stay in a clients home if the pet requires overnight care since I have animals at home already! When I do stay the night, I make sure to follow the pet's daily routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while missing their owners!

“Rebekah was so calm, efficient, and kind with Ray. He warned up to her immediately, as though he sensed her heart and soul. In addition to her competence with Ray, she is extremely organized using a calendar, communicates well as needed, and it's just a nice friendly person to chat with. We felt extremely comfortable with her. As we camp for short periods of time this summer Rebekah will be our go-to person. We trust her completely to stay in our home and care for Puma our cat while we are gone. This is her primary job so she gives 100% and does not have other distractions.”

About: Hi, I'm Madison! I'm a certified dog trainer with 4 years of professional experience and nearly 15 years of living with dogs of my own. Every walk I offer is a 30-minute Walk & Train session, not just a stroll around the block. I pop by your home midday (with or without you home), and we work on real skills while we walk: - Loose-leash walking - Focus and check-ins - Calmly passing people, dogs, and distractions - Manners at the door and around the house Does your dog struggle with something specific? We'll talk through your goals up front, so every time I see your pup, we're actively working toward the things that matter most to you. After every session, I send you an update on what we worked on and what you can practice. I specialize in puppies, obedience, and behavior, and I have a soft spot for anxious and reactive dogs. Perfect for busy professionals and families who want a well-behaved pup without adding another thing to their plate! Dog training is my full-time work, so I'm around dogs every single day of the week. That means I have consistent weekly availability, typically from late morning through the late afternoon and into the evening. Because caring for dogs is already my daily routine, your pup fits right in and gets my full attention, along with the same calm, structured care I give every dog I work with. Because I offer walks and training, most of my care happens in your home and neighborhood, and I treat both with total respect. Safety always comes first. I follow whatever routine and instructions you give me, so if that means leashed walks, that's exactly what happens, and if it means letting your dog run around in a secure yard, that's what I'll do. I stay fully present and vigilant the entire time, always proactive rather than reactive, so I can catch and prevent anything before it becomes a problem. I'm used to working with dogs, I have great handling skills, and I'll always communicate, send updates, and make sure your dog and your home are exactly how I left them, if not in even better shape. My goal is simple: a calm, safe, happy dog, and a worry-free you.

About: I’ve worked in a vets office taking care of the pets being boarded since 2020! I’ve also dog sat for family friends since I was 15. I currently only work 4 hour shifts at my job, and these shifts are either morning or evenings so my afternoon is always free to watch your pet! I also have some days off throughout the week, which gives me more time to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I make sure the the pet has my full attention to ensure their safety. I also make sure they get plenty of playtime so that they are not bored! I make sure that they are fed the proper amount, and that they are given the right amount of medication if needed.

About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite! I raised a miniature schnauzer for 15 years (RIP Dooney). I now have a senior rescue named, Layla Grayce. I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters and have fostered dogs as well. I will love your fur baby just as they were my own! Thank you for trusting me and allowing me the opportunity to look after your fur baby 💕🐶🐱😊 I work remotely from home. This flexibility allows me to make myself available as needed for your pets needs. I will honor your pups schedule for all feedings, walks, and potty breaks. Layla would be a great companion for your pup as she is gentle and calm. At bedtime, I can crate your pup or allow them to roam my home. I will give them the attention they deserve while doing my best to make sure they feel safe and at home. I’ll also take photos and provide frequent updates while I care for your fur baby :)

About: I am a pet sitter with a flexible schedule and have experience volunteering at a pet shelter. I would love to learn more about different breeds and unique and better ways to care for them I can do pet care daily morning or night. I live along with my mom so your pet will be supervised all hours of the day. I do not do boarding due to me living at a college dorm. Dropping in on a clients home I will be very careful of my surroundings and kindly approach your pet with grace and patience.

About: My daughter and I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as we can remember. We’ve looked after our own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There has never been a year in our lives without a dog in it, and we truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available for boarding, doggie day care, walking, dropping in, or playing with your dog during the week and on the weekends. My 17 year old daughter will be assisting as she absolutely loves dogs too. Our house is in a neighborhood. We currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. We are able to crate your dog if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Advance

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Advance is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $20 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,244 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Advance. 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 Advance. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Advance 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 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 Advance. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
