“Madeline was very accommodating with timing to help out when I had movers over, and is great at adjusting to Alfie’s needs when it’s so hot out like this. Will use again!”
“Kristen has seemed to develop a relationship of ease with my anxious dog. She was reliable, asked relevant questions, and generally took great care of my sweet boy. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Holly is very efficient and attentive, she truly cares for animals and is great at communicating any issues that come up—for example my dog was limping a little on his right paw and she let me know right away. It is rare to have someone with such great attention to details!”
“Cassidy was amazing. She was so accommodating, helped us with a last minute situation which we’re super thankful for. She was very communicative, punctual, flexible, and my boy absolutely loved her and her dog Rex. She’s a keeper! Thank you sooo much Cassidy!”
About: I grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of animals including many dogs and cats that I adored. Specifically, we had a couple of German Shepherd dogs that required daily activity. I also went to school and graduated with a degree in Animal Science which focuses on Animal Husbandry. I have experience with basic obedience training along with administering medications to all types of animals. I have a full time job that allows me to work remotely a couple days during the week so I can do drop ins during the day if needed. My weekends are generally available to do overnights. I would be happy to accomodate any schedule needs you might have. I will be able to pick up on and monitor your pets behavior to ensure their safety. I am able to create a structured but friendly environment for those pets that need it.
“Luka lived Joanie!! She was a trooper with taking him for out scheduled walks in subzero temperatures. She also gave home plenty of love and treats! Can’t wait to book her again!”
“My little guy is a tough cookie to crack. He is a bit worried and stand off-ish with new people. Thank you Izzy for being as calm and patient as you were with him! He came around to you ❣️”
About: I was Humane Society volunteer, even if briefly. I've also been a pet owner for 15 years, with one dog named DuDu, who was a Black Labrador I am available practically always, with the primary exception being Wednesday nights, since I have guitar lessons that day. But other than that, I am indeed available, since even my volunteering work is irregular and voluntary I have a fenced yard or have the dog kept on a leash. I make sure the environment is hazard free, and keep the dog away from other animals.
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!
“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”
About: I love animals but I unfortunately travel too much to have pets. I understand that pets need attention and care which is why I don’t have one for myself but I would love to support other pets and make sure pets are getting the care they need. Im like the cool aunt for pets. I grew up in a house with lots of cats and dogs and have done a few dog siting jobs here and there. Your pets will be in great care with me. I’m great at walking! Just finished walking 2000+ miles from Mexico to Canada. I’m currently working at Snowbird and have very limited hours at the beginning of the season. I should have lots of days off available to provide care. I am aware of safety when walking I will make sure your pet is not close to the road or any danger. I will also make sure your pet doesn’t get away. Growing up I had a dog that loved to run away and I’m very aware of how dogs/cats can be when getting out of the house.
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind, from puppies to senior dogs, kittens to wild barn cats, even farm animals like goats, pigs, sheep, and horses! I’ll make sure your family member receives the most compassionate and loving care under an experienced animal caretaker. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work around your care needs. I’m willing to work around all kinds of scheduling needs, even early morning and evening care. I can offer any care you specify in your home, and want to ensure we follow the rules that you set! Willing to offer outdoor time, socialization, adventures, or just chill in-home.

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 .

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 Altona. 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 Altona.

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 Altona. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
