About: We each have grown up with both cats and dogs of varying breeds since childhood. We currently own 4 cats & a medium dog that all love to play. We both work from home so we are able to work-in visits and walks! Occasionally, one of us will do the stop-in, but we usually both come! We make sure all pets feel as safe as we possibly can by letting them "check us out" on their terms upon arrival, before taking dogs outside, to ensure they know we're trust worthy. For cats, we let them come to us, since we found that is the best way to do it.

About: As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I enjoy keeping active dogs moving with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable while you’re away. If you’re working on training, I’m also happy to reinforce the commands and routines you already use so your dog gets consistency even when you’re not there. Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy, a potty break and playtime during the day, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll treat them with the same care I give my own dogs. Looking for reliable daytime pet care? I’m generally available weekdays from 9 AM–2 PM for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’d love to help keep your pet active, happy, and cared for while you’re at work or away. I’m an experienced dog owner who understands that every dog has a different personality, routine, and energy level. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, a relaxed stroll with plenty of sniffing, or a drop-in for a potty break, playtime, and attention, I’ll tailor my visit to what your pet needs. I’m also happy to reinforce the commands and training routines you already use at home so your dog receives consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including leash and harness preferences, feeding instructions, medications, and any household rules. On walks, I’ll keep your dog securely leashed and pay close attention to their surroundings, including other dogs, traffic, weather, and anything that may make them uncomfortable or reactive. I’ll treat your home with respect and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for years, and I’m the go‑to person friends rely on when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. I’m comfortable with shy pets, high‑energy ones, seniors, and anyone who needs a little extra patience. I learn each pet’s routine quickly and keep things running smoothly while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out, I make sure your pets stay happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be around a lot and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can fit walks, playtime, and check‑ins into my routine easily. I take safety seriously and make sure pets stay secure and comfortable at all times. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates checked, and stay alert on walks and during visits. I keep a calm, steady environment so pets feel relaxed, and I always make sure they’re supervised, safe, and sticking to their normal routine.

I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

Every pet is treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love because I believe they deserve nothing less. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands. As a military veteran, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with consistent, dependable care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also believe in clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and regular potty breaks while maintaining a clean environment. You’ll also receive updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in trustworthy hands.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been a daily commitment. Before both of my pups passed, I made sure they got their daily walks because I knew how much joy and comfort it brought them. I am a big believer in consistent exercise and its impact on a dog’s overall quality of life. Currently, my schedule is open and flexible. I prioritize daily movement and exercise for myself, adding dog walks and drop-ins flows seamlessly with my lifestyle. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep their dog comfortable and stress-free. I make sure fresh water is always available and provide the attention and movement their pet needs. I keep the home clean and tidy, respect all instructions, and send updates so owners feel confident while away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ashley Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ashley Acres is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $21 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 5,839 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ashley Acres. 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 Ashley Acres. 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 Ashley Acres 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 Ashley Acres. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
