About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve lived with and cared for animals ranging from small pets to large dogs my entire life, including senior pets and those with special needs. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m attentive, patient, and happy to provide whatever extra care your pet may need. Whether that means accommodating mobility limitations, administering routine care, cleaning up accidents, or simply providing some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my weekdays are generally busy with classes until noon. I’m typically available after that and have plenty of flexibility on weekends! My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask! I do not currently have the means to care for pets in my own home, but I am able to meet your pets at home and provide care however necessary!

About: I have a handful cats, but I also love dogs. Growing up with 5 dogs was my favorite part of life. I’ve been watching after pets since I was 13. I started watching my grandmas dog when she travelled. Then I watched my neighbors cat. It quickly escalated to watching friends and more neighbors. I then used Facebook market place for a while and now am using rover! Taking care of your pet is my first priority. I am available any day any time. I currently work from home and run my own schedule. I will make sure your pet is well loved and looked after. Nothing brings me more joy than getting to spend time playing with a cat or dog. If your pet needs some extra attention, I’d be happy to help!

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.

I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I'll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and care I would give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate care and regular updates while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a full-time teacher, I have a dependable schedule that allows me to provide pet care before and after the school day. I’m also available on weekends, school holidays, and throughout the summer, giving me extra flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and extended pet sitting. My career has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and responsibility, so you can trust that your pets will receive consistent, loving care whenever you need it. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. From volunteering at shelters to working as a veterinary assistant, I have gained experience with working with various kinds of pets (i.e. dogs, cats, birds, small mammals and reptiles). Aside from my work experiences, I have also cared for pets of my friends and family. My dedication and love for animals has allowed multiple people to trust me with caring for their pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand that they are our family members and I would be honored if you entrusted me with their care. I am currently a student at UTK, however my schedule is very flexible. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and the weekend are days when I am most available When I come to your home to either walk or check on your pets, I make sure that your pet is well engaged by offering enrichment and socializing with them.

About: I've cared for many animals for most of my teenage and adult life. I have cat and dog sat, dog walked, and even cared for my sister's snake when she traveled. In college, one of my four roommates had a cat. Besides the cat's mom, I was a close second and the designated cat sitter when my roommate was out of town. Finally, after college, I became a pet owner myself. I first adopted a gecko and then my dog a few years later. My 1.5 year old dog was not house trained when my husband and I got her, and had to start at square one. After taking charge of much of her training, our dog Pinto Bean is fully house and crate trained, can walk calmly, and do several tricks. My schedule at the moment is pretty open. I have availability Monday-Friday 6am- 3pm. I just quit my last job without another one lined up so I'm flexible until I find a job with health insurance. I use a lot of praise and treats to incentivize correct behavior. I'm a calm person and will patiently wait until we get it right. I also love having fun playing with animals.

About: Hi! My name is Madi and I am a student at UT and am looking to continue petsitting while away from home in the Nashville area. Not only do I have 2 fur babies of my own, I have built strong relationships with families I have worked for 3+ years and see their pets as my own now. I have had dogs my whole life, training and caring for my 2 girls now since puppies. I have a true understanding and love for pets and their needs, petsitting professionally for around 6 years for dogs all aged and sizes. I don’t mind a dirty task, giving medications, strict schedules, rambunctious pets, or even weird pup quirks. I have been blessed with the best job in the world to petsit and babysit throughout high school, and am looking forward to continuing until I become a nurse! I will be a full time student at the University of Tennessee, besides class and the regular college events I have a super flexible schedule and am happy to fit the needs of your family any day and time. I can do absolutely anything needed to make your fur babies happy and comfortable while you are away from home. I am looking to build trust and strong relationships with the families I work for, where they can leave and feel at peace knowing their dogs are taken care of, I even love to send pictures! I am flexible to be where, when, and what you need.

Hila is absolutely amazing! She’s great with communication, very flexible, and so willing to help. What I appreciated most was that she took the time to get to know my doggie, instead of simply coming by to walk him. She made an effort to understand his personality and get to know him. It made me feel much more comfortable and confident having her take care of him. I highly recommend Hila and would definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Amherst

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Amherst on Rover is $16.05 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 1,133 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:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
