About: I have recently started sitting dogs despite having them for years as a child. I didn't gain much experience as I was young; however, I am comfortable with playing with, feeding, bathing, walking, and administering oral medicine to dogs via treats! 😂 I absolutely love animals and am more than willing to help take care of them in any way I can! I would love to take care of your animals at any time however I run a packed schedule!! I coach volleyball at a local high school in the afternoons so please message me to see if I can properly suit your needs! I am very respectful of people's privacy and property. In a client's home I stay in the designated living area unless given prior permission to enter other areas of the house. I am more than willing to walk and play with your dogs or simply keep them company! Please let me know if your pet has certain walking paths, feeding procedures, or care needs so I can offer them maximum comfort!

About: Hi! We’re Alejandra and Abel, a husband-and-wife team in Lehigh Acres, and proud pet parents to our dog, Hershey. We know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and we want you to feel comfortable knowing who will be looking after them. Abel will be your dog’s primary caregiver, with Alejandra helping alongside him. We’ll take the time to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and preferences so we can provide attentive care that fits their needs. You can expect photo updates, clear communication, and plenty of affection. We’re happy to discuss your dog’s needs before booking and arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure we’re a good fit. We share pet care around our complementary work schedules. Abel works in the mornings, and Alejandra works in the afternoons, so we take turns caring for our furry guests during the week. On weekends, we’re both home. Abel takes the lead on pet care, with Alejandra actively involved. Before confirming a booking, we’ll discuss your dog’s routine and any time they may need to spend alone to make sure our schedule fits their needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, plus separate rooms where dogs can rest or have their own space when needed. We share our home with our dog, Hershey, and introduce visiting dogs gradually, keeping their comfort and safety in mind. We follow your instructions for meals, routines, and sleeping arrangements. Before each stay, we’ll discuss how your dog gets along with other dogs, any special needs, and what helps them feel comfortable. We’re happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so you can meet us and see where your dog will stay.

I also attend my college classes Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30pm-10:00pm. My availability will fluctuate depending on my work schedule, however if necessary and given proper notice I will gladly request time off or make adjustments. I have quite a few pets in my home. My cat is older and free range, two Chihuahuas, an American Village Dog and a Bully mix, as well as some reptiles and smaller pets. All of the dogs are crate trained and accustomed to new dogs coming in and out of the house.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to include pet care in my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I also give them plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and keep their space clean and stress-free.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, reptiles, hamsters, fish, and birds. My experience with animals started at a young age and has continued throughout my life. As I got older, I began helping neighbors, friends, and family care for their beloved pets while they were away. I understand that pets are family, and being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for them. I believe caring for someone’s pet takes patience, compassion, responsibility, and most importantly lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well loved while their family is away. I currently have a flexible schedule and willing to work with you. Here to help take care of your baby/s while your away. Great care is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in yard incase your baby needed to stay with me. I also have to pups and cats. If you need me to stay at your house, I have no problem and will make sure to follow your pet's routine to make him or her feel comfortable.

About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.

About: I love animals of all kinds and know they’re apart of the family for many. While you’re at work or out and about, who’s to watch the little fur babies? I’ve had personal work with dogs for about 12 years now, both with my own pets and that of family friends’ pets. I’ve worked with cats for about 6 years. I know each animal has their own individual personality and temperament and may require patience, of which I have plenty :). I don’t mind walking pets and or staying in and playing/watching them as needed. Just tell me you and your pets requirements and I’m the girl for the job. Hire me and I can guarantee I’ll provide plenty of play, attention, belly rubs, and of course love to your pets. Hi! I'm Alex. I am a college student currently minoring in psychology. I am very motivated to enhance my understanding of other people and their communication styles, and because I have found cultural exchanges to be some of the most rewarding experiences in my life, I believe that getting to observe other people's homes and lifestyles while pet sitting would be a very insightful encounter. I love to go for long walks no matter what weather, I love nature probably as much as your pet does. In my free time when I wouldn't be caring for your fur babies, and I am a considerably clean individual who has a tendency to clean and organize when she gets bored.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Alva

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Alva is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 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 1,406 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alva. 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 Alva. 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 Alva 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 Alva. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
