About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I currently own two Labrador Retrievers, a Golden Retriever, and a Poodle, which has given me valuable experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly help my grandmother care for her five Newfoundland dogs, so I’m comfortable handling large breeds and managing multiple dogs at once. I understand the importance of exercise, safety, patience, and positive interactions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a full-time college student, and I also work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m home for a good portion of the day, I’m able to give your dogs plenty of attention, take them outside regularly, go on walks, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. My schedule allows me to work around each dog’s normal routine, whether that means feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy being around dogs and would treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any other special needs. Since I work part-time from home and have a flexible school schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m watching them in my home or staying at a client’s home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...

About: Hi there! I'm Delaney. Over the past year, I have fostered 2 dogs and 6 cats! Each foster was a new learning experience, gaining insight into animals boundaries and needs! Often having sick or injured rescue fosters, I have experience with giving topicals and oral medications. I have always had dogs, dealing with puppies up until elderly care. For many years I have been a sitter for my neighbors 2 cats and one dog. It has become a passion to help and take care of dogs and cats, and I hope to be everything you need for a pet sitting experience! I will be heading back to Columbia SC on August 16th and won’t be in Annapolis for pet sitting anymore! I am available all summer long, the only time I am unavailable is 9am to 12pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, while I am taking an EMT class at AACC! I usually wake up early, so I’ll be available before and after this class!! I am very active, love to take long walks or runs. I am very open to following pet owners lead. Often staying in their own home is often better for a pets routine to reduce stress. I am available to give pets company during daytime, and if needed overnight. I know how stressful being away from your pet is, and sending updates is crucial!! I am very communicative, respectful, and clean.

About: I grew up with indoor pets and learned how to care for my little doggies and bunny rabbit as a child. Over the past several years, I have been trusted by friends, neighbors and family to care for, walk, play with, feed and clean after up their pets. I will be attending dog grooming school in the fall, but my schedule is very flexible. The dog grooming school I attend is predominantly online, therefore allowing flexibility in pet care scheduling. I am available weekdays and weekends and am happy to try and modify my schedule to meet your needs. I try to follow the family’s requests regarding their pet’s routines and needs. In attempt to keep the pet comfortable and happy, I focus on providing feedings, changing water, allowing for outside play and toileting time. I love to play with all types of pets and hope to make them feel safe and secure while their family is away. I look out for the pet’s safety and report any concerning signs of illness/injury back to the family (as needed).

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was in middle school and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time student at USC, so I typically only have about two in-person classes each day. Outside of school and my social life, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! I live in a pet-free apartment, so I’m unable to have pets stay overnight at my home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and can follow any safety instructions or routines you provide.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 5 month Doberman puppy and I am comfortable with daily routines, training, and exercise needs. As a former Air Force member and a parent of two, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attentiveness to every pet I care for. I’m committed to providing safe, consistent, and compassionate care so your pets feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I currently provide pet care on a full-time basis as I’ve recently returned to the U.S. after separating from the Air Force and welcoming my second child. My schedule allows me to offer reliable, attentive care with clear communication. I have a friendly, loving Doberman puppy with plenty of energy who enjoys having a playmate. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, along with cameras to ensure pets are always within view. Inside, there are plenty of dog toys available to keep your pup engaged, active, and happy throughout their stay.

About: All dogs need love, companionship, fresh air, and play time. I have been blessed to have had dogs as part of my family all my life and have assisted groomers in the past. Labs, Retrievers, great Danes, Shih Tzus, Beagles, ... I love them all and enjoy all their different personalities. Just like us, our pets need and crave grooming and living a healthy lifestyle. Let me pick up where you leave off when you have to be away from home. I will respect your home, your schedule, and your pets. I work FT at USC but have a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to leave work when needed to devote to your pet family. In fact, caring for a living creature takes priority above all else Always be present and attentive as well as making sure to remove chemicals and inappropriate "chew toys". Be patient and take it slow during first encounters and special needs pets

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home. When I am home I really enjoy taking them for walks and teaching them good manors while on walks. I am a college student and I have classes Tuesday and Thursday. I am pretty busy with classes but every other day I have some flexibility. We can always work something out for all our schedules! I love dogs and treat them with respect. My dog is like a child to me and I would treat anyone else’s pet with that same level of care and respect.

I’ve been pet sitting professionally for two years, so I am well equipped to provide whatever your fur baby needs! I currently work part time in retail, so my schedule is generally pretty flexible. Whatever it is, we can usually always get something worked out!! I have been caring for my cat, Salem, for the last 7 years in my own home. I currently do not have any dogs of my own, but am fully capable of being a loving figure in your pups life if they need a walking buddy or just a play mate for a little while!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week. Even when I go into work I care for them before, during my lunch and after. Whatever times you need them on their schedule I will make happen! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arthurtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Arthurtown is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 1,049 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arthurtown. 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 Arthurtown. 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 Arthurtown 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 Arthurtown. 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 .

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.
