About: I've had pets since I was 6, ranging from an older Jack Russel Terrier, shy/abused German Shepherd/Rottweiler, and now a hyper Pitbull! I accept the personalities of all animals I currently work a full-time job. I have flexible lunch breaks and can contribute to care within the 11-1 PM schedule. I am available after 3:30 PM until 8 PM every weekday if given 2-3 days notice. On weekends, if I am not traveling, I can be flexible. I am an early riser!!! So if you need a 6 AM walk, I am SUPER happy to oblige. I'm available to take dogs on walks, supervise play time in a fenced in area, or adjust to whatever exercise your dog may need. I'm happy to feed and water them and provide care specific to their needs.

About: I am a life long dog lover and owner. Mother to a 6 year old son and a 7 year old Pomeranian. I am home during the day so your fur baby will get plenty of walks and attention. I have pet sat for many friends and family and will treat your dog like my own. We go for morning walks every day at 9 am with several backyard breaks during the day. We also take a walk every evening after dinner. I have a fenced yard with one dog of my own. Couch and beds are open for all pets so they can rest where they are comfortable.

About: Hi, my name is Anna and I grew up fostering dogs and helping them find their forever homes. For the past 4 years of college I have been a pet sitter and dog walker in my spare time. I am now post grad and at the moment I cannot have a pet myself, so I would adore some time with any furry friend. I love any dog, I have a bit of experience with cats from a family I babysat for that had 3 cats but I am definitely open to either cat or dog care. I am happy to take long walks with the dogs or meet any kind of exercise goals you may have for them, I am very active. Currently unemployed post graduating college so complete availability while I am getting some online certifications and thinking about my next steps and job hunting. I am an early riser so anything even in the early morning is great. Lots of pets and love is a requirement. With a new dog I do let them come to me and read there energy before doing anything that could make them uncomfortable. My goal is always to make a new dog as comfortable as possible and establish myself as a trustworthy member of their pack. Staying calm and open and letting the dog come to me, being aware of anything that could cause harm to the pup or cause distress, and just becoming someone they can trust and are excited to see. Did I mention lots of pets and belly rubs!

About: Hi! I’m Nicolette. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own named Prince, a 10 year-old, 30 lb neutered German Pinscher who is very friendly and still acts like a playful puppy. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet care Monday through Sunday. My home has a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Dogs in my home are treated like family — couches and beds are welcome unless you prefer otherwise. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working from home Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm. Every other Monday I do go into the office from 9am-3pm. I am available to watch your pup any day Monday-Sunday 😊 I have a fenced in yard and one playful dog to keep your fur baby company! Unless instructed otherwise, no couches or beds are off limits to pups 🐶 My dog lives like a King over here 👑 & I would treat your fur baby the same way!

About: Just graduated with my PhD in Clinical Psychology and am completing my pediatric psychology post doc fellowship- so I have flexibility with advanced notice. I promise to treat your best friend as my very own. You will not find another individual as dedicated to providing love, support, care, exercise and fun. Very big promotor of positive reinforcement! I believe pets are family. I currently have a rescue pup from Aruba who does experience significant anxiety and reactivity in novel situations and feel comfortable working with dogs who experience similar challenges. Previous experience includes extended house sitting for a family on sabitical for 6 months. During this time period, Midget (a 30lb rescue) was my number 1 companion. She was able to experience a ton of new things. I grew up with 2 Lab Retrievers, and my parents now have a black lab boarder collie mix, Sophia, and have experience taking care of larger, as well as elderly dogs. I have also done long term drop in dog care for 2 puppies. I've always been an athlete so taking longer walks or running with your buddy will not be a problem. I love hiking and I am happy to take your dog on hikes if you would like. Reference contact information available per request. My schedule is relatively flexible with advanced notice but also not always consistent. Please get in touch with me so that we can figure out a plan that would work best. As always, if we have a booking scheduled, your dog is my first priority. When watching your dog, I want them to be safe and happy and your trust in me is something that I highly value. I will provide frequent updates.

About: Hi! My name is Ariel and I'm here to take care of your pet. I have owned at least one dog my entire life. I also had cats so I am a dog and cat lover! One of my own dogs was diabetic so I have experience with insulin injections and administering medicine to animals. From taking care of my diabetic pet, I am very reliable and on time as I know some animals must stick to their schedule. While I have my own personal experience with pets, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter in Wilmington. There I have walked dogs, taken care of puppies, cared for cats and other animals (there was once a cute pig named Hamlet). I love working with and taking care of animals. I treat my dog like a member of the family and more specifically like my own baby. I'd love to care for your member of the family too! I'll treat them as if they were my own so you know your pet will be in safe and loving hands. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please feel free to ask!

I love all animals (especially DOGs!!) and I am happiest when I get to spend time with my furry friends I am a retired scientist who enjoys spending my free time gardening, walking, practicing Pilates, and—most of all—caring for animals. I truly enjoy dog walks, park visits, and building meaningful relationships with the pets and families I serve. I provide dependable, compassionate pet care, including regular visits, dog walking, and transportation to veterinary appointments to help keep your furry family members healthy and happy. Services Offered: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits Boarding House Sitting Medication administration (including injections) Special care upon request, such as diapering, assisted feeding, and cleansing With over 25 years of experience as a pet owner and caregiver, I have cared for animals with allergies, cardiac and pulmonary disease, heart failure, dementia, and incontinence. I am attentive, patient, and comfortable managing complex care needs. Caring for animals is both a blessing and a privilege. I pour my heart into every pet I care for and treat each one as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times and treated like family.

Playtime is structured, supervised, and balanced with plenty of rest, affection, and cuddling. I strictly follow each pet owner’s feeding instructions, schedules, and care preferences to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I am experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections/shots, and I do so carefully and confidently according to your veterinarian’s guidance. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home, free from hazards, and I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and shared spaces remain secure. Small pets are welcome to enjoy free access to the main living area, including cozy couch cuddling, while always being monitored to ensure their comfort and safety. I prioritize positive experiences, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet parents, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for, safe, and truly loved while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 8,455 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arden. 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 Arden. 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 , 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 Arden 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arden. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
