“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!

“Bella-Rose is my 18 week old, lovable Cavapoo fur baby. Christina is her first other human exposure besides me and Bella's dad, being that she just got all her vaccines. I unexpectedly had to cover my 24 hour business this month and knew I would need help with Bella. I signed on with Rover and Christina responded within 5 minutes. I was nervous at first but upon meeting Christina, I knew that Bella was in good hands. Chrisrina is on time, professional, and very loving and patient with Bella-Rose. I had no idea that these type services existed, being a new puppy mom, but I am glad I found Rover and Christina. I will definitely be using her in the future and I highly recommend her. She is great!”

“Sasha is a great Rover walker and I highly recommend her services to anyone! My dog Hazel is very shy with everyone she meets, but she immediately took a liking to Sasha and now every time she comes by to take Hazel on a walk, Hazel looks ecstatic in every picture that Sasha sends me from the walks. It makes me happy to know that my dog is in good hands while I'm away during the day, so I highly recommend booking her for any of your pet needs.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!

About: I have walked my dogs and dogs in my neighborhood throughout the year and pet sat overnight during the summer for family and friends in town. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, brushing, bathing, and playing with many dogs in the past. I am a full time student but my class schedule is flexible each day of the week! I can do morning, lunch time, and evening visits no matter what day of the week it is! My priority is a safe and happy dog. I will make sure they stay active and receive lots of love and attention. I make sure I have them in sight at all times. If you have a fenced in yard, we can play out there and play fetch and still go on walks where I always use a leash and keep them next to me. I make sure they have food when I leave each time, and will keep you updated on how they’re energy is, how they’re eating, and send lots of photos.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 11. I’ve cared for dogs from very small to large, and I have never had any issues! My neighbors and family rely on me heavily to care for their pups! I am currently a full-time student at UofSC, but I am very flexible on the weekends and have a fairly open availability during the week!! When I dog sit, I always take the dogs on walks, play with them, give them treats, and snuggle with them! Depending on the animal, I sometimes put them in their crate as well!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a freelance photographer based in Columbia. I offer dog walking, cat care and/or drop-in visits, with an emphasis on following your pet’s familiar routine and keeping you informed while you’re away. Over the course of the past 10 years, I’ve cared for my own husky, pit bull mix and three cats, gaining hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior cats. I’m comfortable with everyday care, including cleaning litter boxes, administering medication and keeping a close eye on pets’ comfort and wellbeing. For the past three years, I’ve also regularly looked after a client’s Cane Corso and Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. My experience has helped me appreciate that every animal has its own personality, routine and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I aim to offer the same patience, attention and care that I would want for my own animals. My client-facing work has taught me the importance of punctuality, clear communication and following detailed instructions. I bring that same professional approach to every commitment, and I will take the time to understand your pet’s needs before agreeing to a booking. You can expect an update after each visit, including how your pet is doing and a few photographs. As a photographer, I enjoy capturing their personality—but their care, comfort and safety will always come first. In my spare time I love to volunteer with local dog shelters to take rescues on days out and take portraits of them to help in their adoption process. I work freelance and arrange pet-care bookings around my existing commitments. My usual availability is weekdays 10am-7pm within Columbia. I keep my calendar updated and confirm visit times before accepting a booking. Once a booking is agreed, I plan my schedule around the care we have arranged. Before a first booking, I like to have a conversation and discuss your pet’s routine, temperament and any particular needs. I’ll confirm feeding instructions, walking equipment, home access and emergency contacts, and be honest about whether I’m the right fit. During visits, I’ll follow the agreed care plan, respect your home and privacy, and contact you promptly about any concerns.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arlington Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Arlington Estates is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 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 999 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arlington Estates. 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 Arlington Estates. 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 Arlington Estates 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 Arlington Estates. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
