About: I have experience taking care of both small and large dogs with a wide variety of personalities. I’ve cared for dogs who deal with anxiety as well as some of the most sociable pups. Young and old, I love all dogs the same! I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m fairly flexible to meet the needs of your pup! I try and follow the normal schedule and routine you have for your pet. I have no problem crating your dog if needed but can let them free roam if that’s normal for them as well. I also try and keep them on the same feeding time. If your dog is used to walks in the morning or evening I try to accommodate that as well as the length of the walk.

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

About: I have taken care of all of my animals since before I can remember. Walking them, playing with them, feeding them, bathing them, and picking up after them. I've had many dogs growing up ranging in different health needs and breeds. I've also had cats and so I have a lot of experience with them as well! I have a poodle, named Kai, and so I also have experience when it comes to grooming dogs as well! I also have experience with bearded dragons, sheep, horses, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cows, and pigs. I'm currently a online college student that moved to the state of Georgia in 2021. I'm available just about any day and any time to care for your pets. When going to my clients home, I first notify them that I have arrived, I then greet the pets and take them right outside to go potty. If they made a mess of any sorts and the yard is fenced, I will leave the pets out to clean up then go back outside to play with them and get out some of their energy. If the yard isn't fenced and they made a mess I will bring them in with me and watch them while I clean up. Once done with all of the things that need to be done to care for the pets, I will inform the client of everything I did as well as how the pet behaved and give update photos/videos when requested to have them.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a passion for cats of all temperaments and personalities. Having an elderly cat with cancer myself, I'm very experienced in all the special care that come with high-needs kitties (medication administration, observing any behavior changes, etc.) I've fostered cats for years and have become a bit of shy cat savant. Patience is key - I take the time to learn their personality and routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. You can rest assured that you will get a copious amount of photos and updates while you're away! I work as a yoga and pilates teacher so I have plenty of availability to give your pet all the love, care, and attention they need! I have a two-story house with easy partitions between large spaces so your kitty can have a safe space away from my kitties (if necessary)

About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and loved every single one of them! I also worked at an animal clinic all through high school and college, so I’ve picked up a lot of experience reading dog and cat behavior and adjusting to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable giving medication (including insulin shots), and I can help with baths or nail trims if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away—whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or just hanging out for some cuddle time. I am available for pet sitting in your home, walks, and drop-ins after 6 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I can offer engaging play and 30+ minute walks, whatever you like. I offer bathing and toe nail clipping per request, or if your pet gets exceptionally dirty while you are gone (it happens!), I will bathe for free. Feeding and treats will be given per your instructions, and I will do whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you’re away, so don’t be afraid to ask!

About: I’ve pretty much always had a dog by my side! I’ve had four dogs throughout my life, and they’ve ranged from my little Cavachon all the way up to a Boerboel, Great Dane, and now my Cane Corso puppy, so I’m definitely not afraid of the big babies! 🐾 My Cavachon was with me for most of my life, and I had the privilege of caring for him from his energetic puppy years all the way through his senior years. That experience taught me so much about how a dog’s needs change as they get older. I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a puppy who wants to get into absolutely everything as I am slowing things down for a senior who needs a little more patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’ve also been involved in training all of my dogs, so I have experience with puppy training, basic commands, potty training, leash manners, boundaries, socialization, and creating consistent routines. Having Boerboels, Great Danes, and now a Cane Corso has also made me very comfortable with large and giant breeds. I know they may look intimidating to some people, but I’ve always had a huge soft spot for the gentle giants! I think what really sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Some want to play nonstop, some want to explore every smell on a walk, some think they’re 100-pound lap dogs, and others just want someone nearby to keep them company. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I know how much I love and worry about my own pets, so I completely understand wanting someone you can trust with yours. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, give them plenty of attention and affection, follow the routines you’ve established, and of course send you lots of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m a university student, so while I do have classes and other responsibilities, my schedule allows me to plan pet care around them and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for as well as my own. I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins throughout the day depending on my class schedule, and weekend care. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can maintain their pet’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to provide reliable, attentive care rather than simply fitting a pet into a busy day. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. As a puppy owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how important the little details of their routine can be. I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions their owner provides. I’m careful about securing doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings during walks, and making sure pets are comfortable and properly supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their pet and their space. I follow feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime instructions carefully and do my best to maintain the routine their pet already knows and feels comfortable with. I also believe communication is a big part of building trust. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arcade

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Arcade is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $29 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 1,904 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arcade. 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 Arcade. 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 Arcade 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 Arcade. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
