“Kayla was amazing from the very beginning. From responding to my request almost immediately, to setting up a meet and greet, and then walking my baby girls(70lb golden retriever) LOL. Meeting up with Kayla, I felt at ease right away and she was so sweet and kind with both me and Rosie. Rosie loved her right away. Kayla sends pics after the walks and lets me know how rosie did. Her schedule is very flexible and she was able to accommodate a last minute request. I would recommend having Kayla taking care of your fur baby. I am very happy with her!!!!”

About: I've always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pet. I'm reliable, patient, and I'll treat your pets like they're my own while you're away. I have experience from dogs and cats of my own, and watching, walking, feeding, and all from friends, neighbors, and family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, getting lots of attention, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. I'm also very detail oriented, so I'll follow any instructions you leave and make sure your pet gets the care they're used to. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos if that is something you would desire! My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, and to give you peace of mind while you're away.

Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and always respect your home by leaving it just as I found it. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands.
“Breanna is an excellent Dog walker. She has taken such good care of our dog. Archie loved her. She was attentive to Archie and even played with him for a few minutes after a couple of his walks because of the weather. She filled up his water when he was out too. We will definitely be booking her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Altoona on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Altoona. 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 Altoona. 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 Altoona.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
