“Courtney is great. A chill and gentle soul who is easy to connect with. Lettie (the dog) is at ease and comfortable with Courtney. I’m thrilled to have found her as she’s been a lifesaver while I am out of commission with a busted knee.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so thankful we found Nicole! She came over to meet our Kirby a couple days before we had her watch him at night. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly - cared about our Kirby! You can tell she has tons of experience. We can’t wait to have her over again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!

About: I love meeting new animals and will take great care of yours! I have experience walking dogs and doing cat check-ins, and also providing day care for dogs. I am happy to discuss with you any specific needs your animal may need. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to ensure they get plenty of potty breaks, have fun, get exercise, and are cared for while you're away. I will make sure to be careful with your dog and cautious while taking them on walks or to the dog park to ensure they don't get hurt or in any type of danger.

About: Hi, I’m Lydia — dog mom, belly rub expert, and professional sniff-spot scout. I’ve spent 15 years learning what dogs actually want (hint: it’s all of the above), and a lifetime growing up with dogs and cats of every personality. Energetic or chill, young or old, I’ve got them covered. My daily and weekly routine revolves around pet care. My dog is my first thought when I wake up and the last thing I worry about before bed. I have an abundance of parks near my home that I can take your fur baby to for both exercise and play. I love a good adventure.

About: Hello, my name is Hayley and I would love to care for your beloved pets! I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a kid. My family used to foster puppies and I was the one who usually took care of them! I have professionally dogsat for family, friends, and neighbors for about 7 years. I am a trustworthy and reliable person, and am looking forward to taking care and loving on your pets! I work from home the majority of the week and can fit in dog sitting and walks throughout the day! I am pretty flexible, however, most summer weekends I am not available. I would prefer to watch pets in their homes, as I live in an apartment. I can house sit and pet sit for you, and I have done this for the past 7 years for family and friends. If a dog would do okay in an apartment, I would consider it.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved taking care of them. My parents have an 8 year-old English springer spaniel who I’ve helped raise and care for since she was a puppy. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving dogs plenty of attention and love. I’d be happy to give your dog the same kind of care and attention while you’re away! I currently work part-time with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability during the weekdays. I’m generally available during the day while owners are at work. I consistently work Wednesday evenings from 3-8 PM. Otherwise my schedule is pretty flexible. I’ll always make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. During walks, I’ll be mindful of traffic, other dogs, and their surroundings. For drop in visits, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your home is left the way I found it.

About: Hi! I’m Courtney. I’ve always been the person who ends up spending more time with the pets than the people. I love getting to know every dog’s or cat’s personality, whether they’re playful, goofy, shy, or happiest snuggled up on the couch. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of my favorite ways to spend a day. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I currently work, but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my hours to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for. My biggest priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they always have what they need. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, and while I haven’t had the opportunity to give injectable medications yet, I’m more than willing to learn if you’re able to show me your pet’s routine. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what helps each one feel the most comfortable so they can feel at home even while you’re away.

About: While I’m newer to Rover, I’m not new to dogs. I’ve cared for dogs for years through family and friends and I take pet care seriously—routine, safety, and attention to detail. I’m very reliable and will always keep you updated with photos and messages.” • Mon/Tue: Downtown (limited availability) • Wed–Fri: Available midday, before 8 AM, and after 3 PM • Weekends: Available and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and longer visits Your dog’s safety and comfort are my #1 priority. I’m very attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I follow your instructions closely (feeding, potty routine, leash preferences, and any special needs), and I never take risks—leashes stay on during walks unless we’re in a fully secure area. My home is clean, quiet, and welcoming, and I make sure dogs have plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person, I would argue!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings (8:30-4) and some days I work second shift (2-10pm), so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for check ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. I am also available most days for walks or drop-ins. Time of day will depend on my other work schedule. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so whether or not you’d like my cleaning services, I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs. I have cared for many different types, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I have also raised dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, routines, exercise, feeding, medications when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, flexible, and communicative, and I treat every dog in my care like a member of my own family. My Daily Routine Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks without them feeling like they are simply being left alone. I typically start the day with potty time, breakfast, and some attention or a walk before settling into work. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check on the dogs, let them outside for potty breaks using a leash or tie-out, other walk as needed to give them attention, and make sure they are comfortable. They are welcome to relax near me while I work, and I can adjust my routine based on each dog’s individual needs. I do occasionally need to be away from home for work or other commitments, but I’m very flexible and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care whenever possible. I’m comfortable adjusting feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, rest time, or other routines to match what your dog is accustomed to. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with their individual personality, age, energy level, and routine. I treat every dog in my home like one of my own, while following the routine and preferences their family has established for them with love, attention and affection.

Last-minute request, and Renee arrived promptly. During the walk, Riley decided she wanted to go home, so Renee graciously accommodated her by bringing her back instead of forcing her to continue. Renee offered a full refund and apologized sincerely, but I declined. Riley has separation anxiety, and if she isn't comfortable walking, that's her choice. Renee did an excellent job, was very friendly, and Riley warmed up to her right away. I will definitely request Renee for future walks and recommend her to anyone seeking pet care services.

Bonnie and Kris are excellent with dogs! Gracie loves them both. They go above and beyond. They put Gracie's harness on and hook her up at the end. They leave little notes and send pictures on the walk. Both are kind and loving people. You couldn't ask for a better Rover friend for your pets!

I requested Sheryl's services for dog walking for 9 days on rather short notice. I needed help walking our dog because of a recent surgery. She quickly responded that she could accommodate my request. She greeted our dog Amiera each day with lots of affection and care and I could tell she really enjoyed being with her. Amiera came back happy and relaxed after each walk. Sheryl is organized, thoughtful and friendly and a very caring person who also showed compassion for me post surgery. But most of all she provided reliable and knowledgeable care for our dog, which gave me a lot of comfort and peace of mind. Sheryl is also flexible and accommodating with her schedule. She really loves what she does. We'll definitely use Sheryl again in the future. Thank you, Sheryl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Apple Valley on Rover is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per walk. 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 October 2026, there are 5,361 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Apple Valley. 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 Apple Valley. 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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley. On Rover:

  • 92% 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 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.
