“My pup Draconi loves his time with Dayonna. She truly cares and really gives him love when she picks him up. His tail wiggles when she arrives, are outta control, and he is so excited to see her. I highly recommend Dayonna. She is communicative, keeps you up to date on the walk, and sends photos, too. Don't miss an opportunity for your furbaby to get the best attention.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for a puppy, so I understand the patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs require. I know that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions carefully. During walks and drop-in visits, I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving loving and responsible care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to walks and drop-in visits. I am available during weekdays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or early evening visits. I can also offer some weekend availability when scheduled in advance. Having pets of my own has already made feeding, walking, playtime, and attentive care an important part of my everyday life. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives dependable, unrushed, and personalized attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, routines, and any special needs. Before every walk, I make sure the leash, collar, or harness is properly secured, and I remain alert to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and anything that could make the pet uncomfortable. During drop-in visits, I respect the client’s home and privacy. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and I never leave a pet outside unattended. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment while giving each pet personalized attention. I will also send photos and detailed updates so pet parents know their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.

About: I watch for your pets as if they are my own! From playtime & walks to cuddles & nighttime routines your pet will always make them feel right at home. Tell me what their favorite treats are! I love to bring along snacks. I adore building a relationship with my clients & getting to know you and most importantly, your pet! I have experience watching cats & dogs of all ages, as well as pets such as fish, turtles, or bunnies! I work part time and the max I’ll be gone in a work day no more than 5-7 hours! If I don’t work I spend most of the day with your babies, possibly stopping by home or school for basic needs and class/clubs. I will always keep you updated in case of emergencies and/or timing issues. At the moment I cannot care for large size dogs as my schedule does not allow for me to give them the care they need. When I care for your pets in-home, I take it very seriously. Your house, your rules. I adore lists, as I love seeing your personal household & pet preferences. I always clean after myself before leaving.

About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in Denver, Colorado with a Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I truly enjoy the companionship and energy animals bring—whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or a cozy night of pet sitting. Professionally, I work as a respiratory therapist, which means I’m highly attentive, calm under pressure, and used to caring for others in a variety of situations. I bring the same level of responsibility and adaptability to the pets I care for. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles—and I’m always happy to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs and routine. When I’m not working or pet sitting, I love being active—walking, hiking, and exploring the mountains and neighborhoods around the mountains. I’d love the chance to meet your furry (or feathered or scaly!) friend and help however I can. Hope to hear from you! As a respiratory therapist, I work three night shifts a week, which means I have four full days off—plenty of time to dedicate to your pet! Even on the days I work, I’m home during the day and can still provide your dog with regular walks, playtime, and companionship before I head into my shift. My flexible schedule allows me to offer consistent, attentive care throughout the week, whether your pup needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or some extra snuggles and enrichment. I always prioritize keeping your pet happy, active, and loved—whether I’m with them for an hour or the whole day. Let’s find a routine that works perfectly for both you and your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar environment and routine by: • Following the owner’s specific instructions for feeding, walking, play, and medication. • Maintaining their daily schedule to minimize disruption and stress. • Keeping the home tidy by cleaning up after the pet and ensuring fresh water is always available. • Offering companionship and attention to prevent loneliness or anxiety. • Providing regular updates to the owner, including photos or messages, so they can feel reassured.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arkendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 5,739 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arkendale. 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 Arkendale. 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 Arkendale 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 Arkendale. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
