“Wendy is wonderful with our 4yo furbaby. She visited in advance of the first walk so that our girl could get to know her and run through all the details. Lucy enjoyed every walk with Wendy and gives her a two 🐾 up! Thank you Wendy!”

About: Hi, I'm Kim! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm a mom of 4 fur babies of my own and have had animals all my life. I am currently transitioning from a 13 year Nanny position into my dream job of caring for animals full time. Three years ago, I started pet sitting part-time and have gotten rave reviews and I absolutely love it!! (References available on request) My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and overnight stays on a first come, first serve basis. I will come to your pet's home where they are most comfortable. Offering pet care services in your home, I follow the typical routine you and your pets have already established. They will keep their routine and not go through any traumatic transitions. The best part? Your fur baby is there when you get home. Your home will also have that "lived in" look. Mail will be picked up, plants watered, lights will be switched on and off, trash rolled to the curb, and any house issues that arise can be addressed. Especially for overnight or vacation services, I would love the chance to meet you and your pet(s) in your home ahead of time. I always encourage new clients to schedule a (free) 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking (either at your home or a public location) so that I can meet your pet(s). If I am doing a sitting or drop-in, then these are perfect for showing me where the food supplies are as well as bowls, litter box(es), and anything else that may be needed for the booking I send daily updates while you are away so your vacation is worry free. I am looking to establish a regular client base and consider pets as part of the family.

About: I treat every furry friend like family! From playtime and cuddles to feeding and photo updates, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I work full-time (8 AM–5 PM) on weekdays, so my availability is more limited during the week, but I’m much more flexible on weekends and holidays! 💕 Lots of love, gentle care, and happy tails guaranteed! 🐾 Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I pay attention to routines, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have cared for dogs throughout all stages of life. My days are flexible and I’m easy to get a hold of, so you can expect your pup to get quality care and attention however they need it! I’m currently in between jobs and grad school, so my days are very open! I am up early and live an active lifestyle, so walks and playtime (and chill time) are more than welcome! I am available to care for your pet at my home or from yours. I do have a 10 year old Westie at home who gets along with others just fine! However if you prefer the individualized attention, I am more than happy to care for your pet from the comfort of their own home.

About: I am a professional baseball player and an absolute animal lover. I grew up with a very energetic pup, and now have 2 cats that I absolutely adore. I also have plenty of experience dog/cat sitting for neighbors/family/friends. Excited to meet and play with all kinds of new animals! P.S. i do realize I am new to this and don’t have any reviews, you you may br hesitant to book me. I promise I will not fall short of your expectations! Still waiting on my first review to get things kick started. I play professional baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I am string and capable of handling even the most energetic of pups. I am obligated to training/working out from 9 am until around noon each day. I have the rest of the day to myself, which means plenty of time for the animals! My cats are absolutely spoiled. Between toys, cats trees, the best food, pets, (and sometimes butt smacks for the little cat), there is no shortage of love for the cats in my household. I will cater to every pet owners needs, as well as the animals needs. I will bring love and effort into every household i step into.

About: Hello! My name is McKenzie! I’m a pre-med student and animal lover looking to earn some extra funds for medical school. I’ve had my own dog since he was a puppy (he's now 8 years old!). Because he has a daily medication schedule, I am experienced and comfortable handling any medical or dietary needs your dog might have. I am currently home full time and am available for daily drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and will accept last minute bookings for no additional costs from my end. I’m currently working part time online so I will have plenty of time to play with your puppies and check in on them! I am available everyday at any time since I work online. I ensure pet safety through constant supervision, secure spaces, and by following your specific guidelines. I will take them on daily walks and doggy parks (if you wish for the parks).

“Breanna had the unfortunate duty of cleaning up a shattered glass vase one of my dogs knocked over when Breanna arrived. I appreciate her reaching out to me right away to let me know, and to also reassure me that neither dog (or she fortunately) was injured. She cleaned up the mess thoroughly, which was necessary to prevent injuries but also above and beyond. I also appreciate her continued patience with my two young and dogs. I know they are A LOT when she opens the front door. I'm really pleased to have found Breanna to take my dogs for recurring walks while I'm working. I look forward to her developing a bond with my crazy noodleheads. Highly recommended! 🥇”

About: I have cared for/worked with 1,000s of dogs over 10+ years across all breeds, ages, and behavioral issues. I managed a dog facility for several years, have worked in multiple other dog facilities. I have taken K9 CPR/First Aid and very knowledgeable on K9 behavior and physical well being. I have trained 100s of dogs in my lifetime. Your dog could not be in better hands. :) I stay home full time so your pet would have 100% of my time and attention! I can be flexible to you and your pets needs! I have very friendly dogs to keep your pup company! If your dog isn’t much of a playful type - that’s okay too! My dogs do not harass and have great social manners. I have a crate I can offer at your request and I am very experienced with dog safety and K9 cpr. When going on walks I ALWAYS check the dogs collar and leash before leaving the house to be sure everything is appropriately secure. I always make sure I watch any dogs before I open doors to be sure no one runs out! My experience with K9 behavior allows me to catch a bad thing before it happens!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a little kid. I would babysit neighbors kids and take care of their animals while they were away. Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their best friends. I have experience in caring for animals of all ages! I will give them plenty of love, play time, walks, snacks (if its okay with you), and will treat them as if they are my own. I live in an apartment complex with its own dog park and I am a frequent visitor to Ruff Canine Club and Barker Field dog park as my 1 year old Brussels Griffon loves to play there! I have two 13 year old kitties who are very chill. They have been around dogs their entire lives and are unphased by them.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I adore them. I have two dogs of my own, a 12 year old Border Collie mix and a two year old Australian Shepherd, and I volunteer down at the Richmond Animal Shelter every week so I'm used to handling a variety of dogs! I have a very flexible schedule and I would love to work with dogs of any activity level, age, or size! I definitely understand the importance of frequent potty breaks, consistent meal times, and lots of love and playtime! Also, punctuality is something that I take very seriously so you won't have to worry about me being late! But most importantly, I know how special your dog is to you and I will look after him or her as if he or she were my own! I look forward to getting to know both you and your sweet pup! :)

About: My dream life is to own 50 acres of land and rescue and save ALL THE DOGS! But in the meantime, I foster, adopt, rescue and care for as many dogs as I can, whenever I can. I have been taking care of large dogs for all of my adult life, rescuing dozens of dogs from the streets of Atlanta to beginning my fostering journey this past December while residing in Florida. I have gotten every dog I have fostered into a forever, loving home with a few foster fails along the way :) (oops). I have worked with aggressive dogs, behavior-challenged dogs, trauma induced dogs, fearful dogs and every other dog in between. And I have loved them all. My greatest joy in life (after caring for my two young daughters) is saving and taking care of dogs. I will honor your fur baby's requirements, desires, needs and wants to a T and will provide the utmost professional and expert care to your animal at all costs. I have trained challenging dogs in an environment that is positive and reward-based all while maintaining boundaries and full control of every situation. I have experience walking numerous dogs at once and will make sure your pet is safe and secure at all times. I will love your baby as my own and will make sure they are played with, walked, watered and pampered while in my care! Dogs are my passion and I look forward to taking care of sweet furry angel! I am currently a stay at home mom, with two kiddos in school, so I have plenty of morning and day time hours to take care of your furry baby. I am also available for night sitting, weekend and over night care with enough notice. I will make sure your dog goes outside, whether you want me to play fetch in the backyard or take your pup on a leisurely and/or adventure walk in the woods. I will make sure your dog has water, and a comfy crate (if you crate your dog) and/or make sure everything is secure in your home for your dog according to your needs and requests. I will feed your dog, administer medicine if necessary, play with your dog, work on training if you request, clean up any messes, and anything else in between that is in accordance to your doggo's daily schedule. Your wish is my command!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ashwoods is $56 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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 2,307 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ashwoods. 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 Ashwoods. 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 Ashwoods 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 Ashwoods. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
