Mercedes had her first walk with Jordan, and it went very well. She quickly understood it was new for both of us and made sure we were comfortable. She was patient, kind, and attentive to Mercedes’s needs. By the end, my anxiety was gone. Mercedes was in good hands, and I trust her. I highly recommend her!

About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.

About: You're barking up the right tree with my services! I've had dogs since I was 5 and have provided dog care to my neighborhood, friends, and family for most of my life. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never go anywhere without dog treats in my bag. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues and have taken care of many breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Border Collies to an 80 lb German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. Whether it's playing fetch for hours or snuggling on the couch your dog will be in great hands. I don't have a dog of my own right now so I have lots of doggie love to give :) If you're looking for someone dependable, fun, and want to help me stop asking everyone I see if I can pet their dog then give me a shout! I'm in school right now so I'm very flexible and am happy to work with my schedule and yours to take care of your pet. Your pet is family when they're with me and I prioritize safety and respect of both your pet and household. I will always respect your pet's space and comfort and ensure they're safe at all times. I treat a client's home as if it were my own: any mess will be properly taken care of (whether that be a shredded toy or a potty accident), everything gets put back in its proper place, and all spaces will be left just as they were found if not cleaner.

About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of neighbors, family, and close friends' animals. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and personalities. I have had to administer medication via shots to animals before and feel comfortable in those situations. I plan on going to veterinary school and have a strong interest in animals and making sure they have fun. I am currently working an internship completely online as well as taking an online summer class. I am able to stay anywhere I need to take care of animals. I have not much else that can interfere with me accompanying the animals. I will take the animals on walks and play with them. I want to make sure they are having as much fun as possible so they cannot worry about anything.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.

About: I have pet-sat multiple animals including many cats, rabbits, and dogs. I took care of these pets ranging from a few days to a month-long period of time. I cared for, washed, fed, and spent time with these animals as well as took care of their waste. As well as animal care, I have also house-sat during many of these experiences. I have weekends off and are typically fully available to spend most of the day/night with pets. I work Monday through Friday but always make time for my cat after work. I often stay as long as I can when petsitting at a clients home. Pets can get anxious when owners are gone, and I make sure to spend as much quality time I can with the pets.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember, and I currently live with my American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy and strong breeds, as well as more low-key cats. I’ve helped manage feeding schedules, basic training, and day-to-day care for multiple pets at once. Your pet will get my full attention. I send photo updates and treat every animal like my own! I’m generally available most afternoons and weekends (some Saturdays and all Sundays) for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. My schedule can shift week to week, so please check my calendar or message me for current availability. I’ll do my best to work around your needs! I provide care exclusively at the client’s home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, food, and bedding. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or in-home boarding, I focus on keeping things consistent: sticking to their regular schedule, giving them attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I have two cats of my own. A 10 y/o sweetest little girl Tabby and a 5 y/o Maine coone. I have experience with administering inhaler, pills, liquid medicine, and syringe feeding due to my girl cat having multitude of health issues. I am also expert in giving cats bath & nail trimming. I genuinely love animals to my core, which is why in my free time, I rescue cats & volunteer in shelters I work fully remote so can be available anytime and with short notice. I also drive so getting to places will not be a problem at all. As a pet owner myself, I understand the stresses and worries that comes with when people are away from their pets. To earn trust, during the first interaction I like to sit on the floor and let the pet come to me. They can sniff me, cuddle up on my lap or just stare at me if they want. By sitting on the floor, I get to their eye level which makes me less intimidating as a new object in their environment. After I gain the pet’s trust, I make sure to send pics and videos during each visit. I also have no issues if the owners want to set up camera to monitor my activities and interactions with their pets.

About: I was an emergency Certified Vet Tech for 6 years and unfortunately had to leave my career due to family matters. I’m still very passionate about animal care and would love more time with animals! I can take care of cats, dogs and exotics if you have them. I'm medically experienced so you'll never have to worry. I will make an effort to get to know your animals and make them feel comfortable around me. I can administrator medications and manage old or young friends. I'm honest, trustworthy and would love to be there for you and your pet! I appreciate clear and honest communication and direction. I have 5 pets so it’s a huge part of my life. One of my pups is going through chemo for his lymphoma right now, so I’m doing additional medical care at home too. I care for my pets 24/7. I let my pups out in the backyard first thing in the morning. Check on my kitties litters boxes. Check the pets water bowls. One of my kitties gets meds twice a day. They get treats and food throughout the day. My pets get vitamins too. I play with the ones who enjoy playing and if it’s nice outside, 2 of my pups enjoy staying outside. There’s a lot more I do and it’s a ton of work, but I love them all and work hard to make them happy, healthy and safe!

Mercedes had her first walk with Jordan, and it went very well. She quickly understood it was new for both of us and made sure we were comfortable. She was patient, kind, and attentive to Mercedes’s needs. By the end, my anxiety was gone. Mercedes was in good hands, and I trust her. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Amherst

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Amherst on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,095 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Amherst. 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 Amherst. 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 Amherst.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Amherst. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
