“Sophia's availability and reliability are excellent! I can tell she genuinely cares about and enjoys working with animals. Our dogs are like family to us and we appreciate sitters like Sophia who treat them as such.”
“She’s great at communicating and great with you fur baby! Renee is great with working with your schedule and needs! Love how she takes pictures and communicates how the walk went ever time!”
“I had to be away from home for several appointments and Mandi came and took my poop for a walk. I came home to a happy dogo who clearly had a good day. She wasn’t pouting when I came home!!”
“I had a family emergency and had to leave town ASAP, Ivy without hesitation stepped up and made sure Bear had his walks and was taken care of. I cannot thank Ivy enough for helping me out on such short notice during such a stressful time. She is truly the best!”
About: I am a pet lover at heart and have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I have developed a deep love and understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. I take pride in providing loving, attentive, and reliable care, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and trustworthy hands! As I prepare to start college, I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am excited to spend my free time caring for our sweet four-legged friends! I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs while providing plenty of love, attention, and care for their furry family members. I pay full attention to my furry friends, and look for their signs of needing to go potty, wanting to play, being anxious (as a lot of my little friends initially are), etc. I like to take the slow approach when meeting new friends, letting them approach me rather than me, them.
“I am so happy I found Gretchen and her daughter to hang with my puppy, Cooper, now that I am back in the office some days. They are great with him and I know he loves their walks!”
“She does a wonderful job, she is polite and respectful, diligent, and professional. She has her boyfriend come help her sometimes and it has caused zero issues or quality issues, he has also been respectful of my property and my dogs. I always get a picture of the walk walk and my puppies are happy. I have two great dogs, but one is a puller and haven’t heard any issues. I couldn’t be more happy.”
About: I’m a Samoyed owner with hands-on experience caring for large, energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with strong pullers, long walks, high-energy play, feeding, basic routines, and keeping dogs safely supervised. I understand that every dog has their own personality and boundaries, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take time to learn each dog’s routine and preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of exercise for dogs who need it! I’m usually available 7 days a week. Same-day bookings are welcome! Please send your request at least 6 hours before your preferred start time. My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out if you have any special timing needs. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including preferred walking routes, leash and harness routines, interactions with other dogs, and any behaviors or triggers I should watch for. I keep dogs leashed throughout walks unless specifically instructed otherwise in a safe and appropriate area. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during or after each walk.
“Nathaly was great with my dogs. She helped me in a jam and came over same day to walk them. She was super communicative and the boys were nice and tired when they returned. Highly recommend.”
About: Animal lover, retired after 35 years working as an Auditor for the U.S. Army. My menagerie over the past 30 years has included dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, birds, and fish. Currently owned by energetic husky girl named Tikanni Rose and a sweet tortie kitty named Willow. I have a college age daughter living at home who can take of my fur babies while I take care of yours. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, and previously fostered for a cat rescue. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for pet sitting services in your home, including overnight stays or drop in visits, and dog walking. Home owner on a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully fenced yard. Will schedule a meet and greet to ensure I fully understand your pet's needs. Happy to provide photos and videos.
About: Hello, I provide flexible and reliable care for your fur baby! I have 2 very amazing kids ages 17 and 12. I was employed at Doozy Dog Club taking care of multiple (sometimes over 60) dogs at night by myself!!!) I am very detail oriented as I know every fur baby has a different schedule a different diet and some even need medication/vitamins with their meals. I love trying to teach dogs new tricks and work on their behavior. I will always provide a detailed summary of each day with pictures!!! Being as though I am a mother I do work from home during the week but I am able to take breaks and tend to your little one. Should you have any other questions or have considered moving forward I am only a Bark away! I work from home so I’m available for walks and potty breaks and your baby will never be left unattended. That means lots of playtime, training, and belly rubs! I currently live in a 3 bedroom Townhome! I am able to keep pups separated if need be. We have 2 dog parks in my complex for potty breaks and we love going to Fort Steilacoom Park as well as Chamber Bay for some extra fun ♥️
About: I have owned pets my entire life and miss having them around. Timing is not right for me now to have my own so I am opening my life up to caring for others’ pets. I currently work from my home office which allows me flexibility to care for pets periodically throughout the week. Most weekends are open for me. My apartment complex has a fenced play yard for dogs. I also walk for exercise frequently and would take your dog on walks with me.
About: Growing up with dogs of all sizes, I’m very comfortable with pets regardless of breed and size. My friends’ dogs love when I come visit them because I’m always game for a walk, some socialization, meals, meds, and even the occasional bath (even when they don’t like it) Because I work from home, I have strong flexibility to be able to care for pets. Between meetings, I can attend to their needs, and I welcome the chance to also balance my time away from the computer as well! When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with total respect. After I’ve left, I try to make it appear like I was never there, and I honor that everyone’s space is special to them.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with real, hands-on experience — I’ve had my dog for 10 years and I care for my two cats daily. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do. At home, I take care of my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine—feeding them on time, cleaning their spaces, giving them playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and keep the environment clean and calm. Whether at home or in a client’s home, I focus on giving each pet the same patience, care, and respect I give my own.
About: Being a lover of all things animals, I've spent many years caring for dogs, cats, tropical fish, chickens, ferrets, and more. I've owned a dog for most of my life and can't imagine a life without animals in it. I've dealt with mild-mannered to difficult pets and handle all with a patient, loving demeanor. One of my references will note that I took care of their temperamental cat with ease. They called me a cat whisperer, because the cat does not like many people but loved me. I've also cared for pets that need special attention such as injections and older animals with mobility issues. I am easy-going, responsible, and did I mention, I LOVE animals! Pets are family to me, and I treat them as such. I’m active and love long walks, play time and any other activity that helps your sweet fur-baby thrive! And with all things cute comes cleanup of course, and I like to keep a clean space for all. I’ll follow the pet parent’s lead to what works best for them and their loved ones. I’m new to Cazadero, CA and am excited to start to build a rapport with pet families. I worked for great people with awesome pets in Seattle, and I’m hoping to find the same in the Russian River and Bay Area. My schedule is open…don’t hesitate to reach out with questions! I have years of house/pet sitting experience and the references to go with it! It makes me happy to watch over your beloved pets. I’m able to give references upon asking. I love and respect my pup so much, and I will treat your pet just the same. The world would be worse off if we didn’t have fuzzy buddies!
About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Elsker and Kody were happy to meet Tania and Cristian. Kody took a lot of liking to Cristian! Overall it was a positive meet and greet and they are both looking forward to the walk around the school!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Algona
Sophia is the best walker we've ever had. She’s flexible on days when we have appointments and need to adjust plans. She's helpful when my mom wants to learn how to walk my very hyper, overpowering bulldog, who usually drags my mom during walks, but Sophia has helped prevent that. If you need a walker, she is the best you can find!
Gretchen was a life saver! I recently had surgery and was unable to walk my little guys. Gretchen helped me out last minute with walking them. She is friendly and my dogs loved her. They don’t always want to go somewhere without me, but they trotted off without a care!
We needed a dog walker as my husband was recovering from foot surgery and I was leaving town for a few days. Xiaotong did a fantastic job with our pups. She sent lots of photos of their walks. They were thrilled to go with her each day. We will certainly call on her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Algona is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 11,582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Algona. 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 Algona. 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 Algona 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 Algona. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
