About: Hey, my name's Jess and I'm pumped to be on Rover! Here's a quick bit about me. I've been an animal lover forever. I've had dogs my entire life, so I have some substantial experience there and I've had cats nearly just as long. I have experience walking dogs and dog sitting in peoples' homes and my clients, so far, have always become repeat clients (which I love because I love the chance to see the furbabies again and again). I currently have a cat named Gordito, and he is my life. He’s 17 now and requires a lot of extra care, so I’m used to anything your pet may need. Also, I have a calm aura that pets seem to really appreciate. I have no doubt that your pet and I would get along fantastic. I'm not a dog or a cat person, I'm a dog AND cat person. Seriously, they're both such amazing animals in their own ways. I'm just an animal person in general. My schedule is extremely flexible as I work from home. I'm open to any breeds and have experience with young, old, low-energy, and high-energy dogs. I have the energy to keep up with whatever level your pet is at! They'll always get plenty of love, playtime, and exercise while I'm around. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. In my house i’ve never had less than 4 animals in my household including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and fish. I’ve been dog sitting and cat sitting since around 14. I’ve stayed in homes for multiple days at a time and I can check in every hour if needed. I love spending my time with animals and making them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the summer just taking online summer classes. I will be available every day of the week and at any time during the day. I can take ur dogs on short or longs walks depending on preference as well as the dog park if they like. I can crate your animals at your house. I can clean any messes the animals may make including potty accidents, water spills or knocked over plants. I offer check in’s however many times you would like throughout the day. I offer sleep-in services if your animals needs company the entire time you’re away. I can clean cat litter.

About: I have grown up taking care of my Rottweiler/Doberman since she was 10 weeks old and is now 13 years old. Big dogs are not a problem as I am not scared of them since I have grown up with one. I know how much dogs love walking and running and I love to do it with them. I have a love for all dogs big and small and enjoy even the hardest dogs to handle. With being young I can be very active with the dogs and playing with them to ensure full enjoyment. I hope to walk your dog very soon! I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to caring for your pet! Just ask and I will see how I can help! I lived in a gated community and have extra space for a dog inside. I do not have a yard for them to roam in.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life! I am currently a cat mom to a long-haired tuxie with a big personality. I have helped my family raise two high-energy Australian shepherds, given insulin shots to diabetic cats and dogs, walked big dogs who like to pull hard, and taken time with senior dogs who are slow and stubborn. I have cared for my own kittens and puppies from baby to senior adults. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and love spending my time with furry friends. I just graduated with my PhD and am currently job hunting, so I have lots of availability to care for your sweet pets! I am happy to stop by throughout the day, go for walks, and sit with your animals so they're not alone. My goal is to be very thorough with your pets routine. When possible, I would like to set up a meet and greet and learn where all food/treats/toys/medicine/litter/crate, etc is kept. I also will be sure to collect vet information, in case of emergency. I will make sure fences are shut or animals are properly leashed before going outside. I also want to make sure pets stay in their designated areas and follow your instructions for them. I am also used to cleaning up after pets, so that's not a problem either!

About: I’m a responsible and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals. I have experience handling dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and affection, I treat every dog like my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free for both you and your dog. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I’m organized and able to plan my time around responsibilities. I can provide consistent care before and after school, on weekends, and during breaks. I make sure to prioritize feeding, walks, playtime, and attention so pets stay happy and comfortable, even with a busy routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of anything harmful, and I supervise pets carefully during playtime and walks. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, giving them plenty of affection while respecting their boundaries. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home and owners feel confident leaving them in my care.

About: Growing up we always had pets in the house. Now as an adult I have a cat and a dog. I understand the difficulty in choosing a pet sitter for when you are away and provide exceptional care for that reason. I am currently a student and have a flexible schedule that is adaptable to you and your pets needs. I provide frequent check ins and pictures, so you know how your pets are doing. I go to school and have a very flexible schedule that can be adjusted to fit your needs. I can care for your pets every day of the week. I have a small house with a fenced yard so your dog can run around outside. I have one male unneutered dog and a cat. Typically we go on a 40 minute walk in the evenings after the sun has set. Inside the house I have baby gates that can be put up if needed.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a senior dog, so I’m comfortable providing the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets need. I’ve also cared for kittens multiple times and understand how much supervision and gentle care they require. I’ve experienced caring for a dog with cancer as well, so I’m comfortable being attentive to pets with illnesses or special needs. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have classes 12-3pm tuesdays and thursdays at UCF! I am in a sorority so I do have events or similar obligations. I am available monday, wed, saturday and sunday DAYS! I prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention and supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific routines. I always make sure doors and gates are secure and that pets are never left in an unsafe situation. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while their owner is away.

About: Usually when people small talk, the topic of animals comes up. “What type of pets do you have??”. Nothing prepares them for the “Oh!! I have a bearded dragon, ball python, cockatiel, and toads…I also foster dogs and cats”, sentence. Their faces never get old 😅. You heard me right though! Not only have I owned cats/dogs, I also pride myself in having owned a vast variety of reptiles/amphibians/avian/small mammals over the years. I have been fostering both cats/dogs for the past year as well. Providing me with experience in grooming, bathing, administering meds, enrichment, and attention. I’ve dealt with many emergent situations, strengthening my knowledge and preparedness with any animal. Why stop at just cats and dogs when you could enjoy so much more? What separates me from other sitters are the platters I’ve already been dealt. Fostering, as well as owning non traditional animals, has thrown me for several loops that I would’ve never experienced by just owning a cat or dog. Pet care is the majority, if not all of my daily housework. When I foster animals, all of them need hourly upkeep on food, medicine, and play time. Easily translatable to your pet! My apartment is deep cleaned on a weekly basis; a necessity when caring for many animals. I value a organized, clean space for all my animals. I care for pets by providing basic necessities, plenty of toys, and a loving space for them to thrive in. My animals receive weekly, if not daily, wellness checks. I check for weight loss, dehydration, fleas/lice, nail length, and matting. When feeding, I make sure everyone gets proper nutrition (with a few treats ;)) and there are no signs of fatigue or unwillingness to eat. Proper behavioral signs are noted, and I can catch on to behavior that is abnormal and needs attention.

About: I’ve always enjoyed looking after animals. I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 11, this includes dogs, cats, birds, fish and other pets! I love animals. My clients always could rely on me to feed, walk, and care for their pet. I strive to create the most comfortable and friendly environment for your pet so they will have a stress-free and relaxing time while you’re away. I currently work a part time job so that will leave me with plenty of time to take care of your pet! I currently go to school at Polk state. My classes are very flexible which leaves me with plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I will always make sure your pet is kept company. And I can always crate your pet if that is what you prefer. I want to make sure that not only your furry friends have a stress-free time, but you as well. My goal is to make sure that you and your pet can enjoy your time with no worries! 🐾

About: Hey, I’m Delaney! I have a passion for animals, especially dogs! I own two Yorkies myself and they are the light of my life. I know how much joy a pet can bring so I will always aim to care for your animal according. If you have any worries about leaving me to sit with your older pet let me assure you I can provide them with any support they require. I hope you choose me to care for your pet! I am very flexible and can work with you to choose hours. I am currently taking online summer classes, but other than that I am completely free to board, walk, or watch your pet. I have a short fence (comes up to my knees) in my yard space. This is where you can find my two Yorkies sitting on our deck watching the driveway. They are both very friendly and would love to play with your pet.

Our puppy taco loves his Clara so much! I have videos of me saying “do you want a treat?” No movement or care. When I said “do you want Clara?” Instant head tilts and tail wag!!! Clara treats taco like her own. He even knows a little Spanish now ;) and loves his walks with her. We will miss you, Clara!! Thank you for everything you have done!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Alafaya

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Alafaya is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 5,142 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alafaya. 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 Alafaya. 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 , 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 Alafaya 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alafaya. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
