About: My background in education has provided me with the exceptional level of reliability. My daily work with children translates directly into calm, patient care with animals. As I go out to different places dogs seem to gravitate towards me. I am currently working as a Teacher's Assistant. I have two dogs of my own and I walk them almost daily. We go for hikes on the weekends and lots of car rides. I treat them like my fur babies. My primary goal is to maintain a predictable, secure, and stress-free environment where your pets feel completely safe. I make sure that the doors, gates and windows are completely locked after every visit. I follow all schedules that you lay out.
“Liz is FANTASTIC. Scheduling and communication were very easy. My dog is shy and fearful around new people, but he warmed up to Liz immediately. She knew exactly how to approach him and pick up on his cues and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up actively involved in their daily care, from feeding and walking to helping with training and routines. This lifelong experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also helped care for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, as well as dogs who need a calmer, more patient approach. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care is already built into my daily routine since I’m home throughout the day and care for my own dog. I maintain a consistent schedule with outings every 4 hours, along with regular feeding, walks, and playtime. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs receive plenty of attention and are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m also flexible and can adjust routines to meet each dog’s specific needs, whether that’s more frequent breaks, extra exercise, or a slower pace. I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and plenty of space for walks. I treat every dog like my own and take the time to quickly learn their routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Candace did an amazing job walking Bruno and Oliver over Memorial Day weekend. Our dogs are definitely not the easiest walkers, but she was patient, attentive, and handled both of them really well. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were getting the care and attention they needed. We’ll definitely be booking Candace again in the future.”
“Gia always does such a wonderful job with Séamus. She is very patient with him. She really helped us out and was so accommodating with fitting us in around her schedule during the holidays this year. Thanks Gia!”
About: I have cared for various pets over the years - primarily my two cats and family dogs. I have experience with larger dogs specifically, however I am happy to check in on and walk any size dog. I am excited to meet new furbabies, thank you for checking out my profile and please let me know if I can provide further information! 💜 I currently work full time, but I am able to come visit during lunch breaks and after the work day generally. I will let you know if I cannot accommodate a request. I have experience with caring for two cats full time currently and handle the litter box, feeding schedule and play time. I additionally have experience in the last ten years watching over our family dogs and walking them as needed.
About: Not only have I had animals my whole life-this includes dogs, cats, rats, you name it! I’ve also been in the veterinary care field for over 2 years and I am currently enrolled and studying to be a Veterinary Technician. I have my own puppy Willow, who I care for with my partner. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and have cared for my fair share of animals in all stages of their life. When your pet is with me, they’re in good hands. Currently I work part time at an animal hospital and go to school full time so I am available on the weekends Saturdays and Sundays consistently. When I am within your home, I will respect not only your boundaries but your pet’s too! I am a full supporter of fear free environments and continually educate myself on the best ways to make your pet feel comfortable and safe.
“Excellent ! Wade followed all the instructions carefully and was very reliable and professional. Great communication throughout, and I really appreciated the updates. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I grew up around pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Being with them from a young age taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to their different needs and personalities. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and spending time with the animals to keep them calm and comfortable. Those experiences really strengthened my love for animals and showed me how important gentle, consistent care is. I take pride in treating every pet like family and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m a college student home for the Summer looking for a job. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when needed!!! I will follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any special care guidelines. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I will do my best to keep their normal routine so they feel secure while their owner is away. I will also give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so clients can feel confident their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: Hi, my name is Lindsey and I graduated from Montclair State University in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I currently work as a medical receptionist/dental assitant at TE Comprehensive Dental in Milford, NJ. One of my favorite things to do is go for walks with my beagle mix, Buster. I have a lot of pet care experience, including hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and horses. I am willing to care for any other pets you may have besides cats and dogs. I love to exercise and dog walking is one of my favorite ways to do it! I will not only care for you pets, but your house as well. Vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, you name it! If you need anything done while you are away, please don’t be afraid to ask, I love to clean! I have always been an animal lover, and I guess it’s because animals always seem to take a liking to me. Please contact me, Lindsey, for your dog or cat needs! My typical work day is 7:30am-5pm, so I would be able to provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours. If I know I am watching your fur baby, I will make sure to work around what they need! I have a a Beagle mix at home, Buster. He is great with new people and can be unpredictable when it comes to new dogs. He is very well house trained and is the biggest snuggle bug once he gets to know you.

Jessenia has been so good to our dog Max! He can be nervous with strangers but she has been so kind and patient with him and it has really made me feel at ease while on vacation. She is beyond lovely to communicate with and super responsive. The pictures and little summaries of the walks have been great to see too. I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Jessenia!
We recently worked with Kristie, as she helped routinely walk our dog while we were away on vacation. Before we left, Kristie came on her own time and met us and our dog. We were a bit nervous for anyone to walk our dog because he is a near 100 lb. chocolate Labrador Retriever who is full of energy and pulls while walking. While we were away, Kristie handled him great and it was evident that our dog loved her. Great people like Kristie are hard to come by and we would highly recommend her! We plan to use Kristie anytime we need pet sitting or dog walking in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Alpha 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 2,777 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alpha. 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 Alpha. 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 Alpha.

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 Alpha. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
