About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I naturally connect with animals, even the shy or anxious ones, because I’m calm, patient, and pay attention to their body language. Whether it’s high-energy play or quiet companionship, I adjust to what they need. I have experience with: • Senior pets (slow walks, meds, joint care) • Giving oral medications and maintaining routines • Creating a low-stress, loving environment while you’re away More than just walking or feeding, I focus on building trust so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. You’ll always get updates and honest communication from me, so you can fully relax. As a nursing student with an active lifestyle, pet care is a grounding and joyful part of my week. Walks with dogs keep me moving, and quiet time with cats helps relieve stress from my studies. I’m organized, reliable, and love incorporating feeding, playtime, and even litter box duties into my routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it genuinely helps me recharge and stay balanced. I care for pets like they’re my own, whether I’m in my home or yours. For house sitting, I keep routines consistent—feeding, walks, meds, and lots of love—while also respecting and maintaining your space. During walks or drop-ins, I focus on quality time: bathroom breaks, play, meals, and anything your pet needs to feel secure and seen. For cats, I clean litter boxes daily, monitor their behavior, and offer attention on their terms—whether that’s play, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I always leave things clean, calm, and exactly how you left them. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
“Reached out to Melanie late the night before I had to go out of town to see if she could come walk Charlie. She quickly responded and came to walk Charlie. From the photos I received all had a great time.”
“Lauren is so great!! She has walked my pup a few times now (a couple being last minute asks) and she has been so amazing! She spent extra time with my girl after the walks to get her settled back in which I really appreciate on days where I’m gone for work for hours. She is very communicative with me every step of the way too!”
“Danielle is the absolute best!! She’s a great communicator and takes care of my puppers very well. I’m so happy to have found her here. Thank you so much.”
“Robert & Alex were great! Super easy communication, met with Robert before we left and he is very nice. He took great care of our Pups Dollyann & Winston while we were away. We did not have a worry about either dogs while on vacation and I guess that’s all you can really ask for. I would recommend and will be hiring Robert and Alex in the future! Thanks again guys.”
About: Your pet’s favorite relative! 🫂🐶 Premium care for your fur children🐾 Dog Boarding | Walking | House Check-ups Reliable | Attentive | Trusted Providing stimulation throughout the day with active play time, routine walks through the city and parks. Your pet will accept me as apart of the family! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work on a project basis with local nonprofits in Atlanta, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. On most days, pets join me for morning walks between 6–8am, followed by feeding and a relaxed environment while I work from home. Walks and check-ins typically occur 2–3 times throughout the day, along with playtime and attention. On days I’m on-site for a project, I maintain the same morning routine before leaving and can return midday for a walk or check-in if needed, with evenings fully dedicated to pet care. 🐾 I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets can roam freely, relax on furniture, and enjoy regular walks, playtime, and attention. Crating is only used if part of their normal routine. For in-home visits, I follow all care instructions closely and respect your space to ensure your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. 🐾
“Toney has been great with Sebastian. He was available last minute (same day!), is so sweet with my pup, and always sends me pics while they are on their walks. He even plays soothing music and brings special treats. I will definitely be using Toney again.”
“I’ve had a great experience with Melissa. She is always reliable, takes excellent care of my dog, and gives me peace of mind when I’m away. One thing I especially appreciate is the number of photos she sends during walks and visits. It’s so nice to see updates and know my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she works with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.”
“Alice is reliable and caring. Her calm nature is good for my high-energy dog. Coco remembered Alice even though it had been months since Alice walked. Coco was VERY happy to see her!”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both cats and dogs. I grew up with multiple cats and a dog, and throughout college | fostered dogs of various sizes, personalities, and care needs. I am comfortable feeding pets, administering oral medications, bathing, brushing, cleaning litter boxes, and providing daily exercise and companionship. I understand that every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and routine. I recently completed my master's degree and am currently searching for a full-time position, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am available during weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. I also have reliable transportation and my own vehicle, making it easy for me to travel to clients and maintain consistent care schedules. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any medical or behavioral considerations before care begins. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications when needed. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking a walk, or providing longer care, I will treat your pet and home with the same respect and attention I would give my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

I’ve had a great experience with Melissa. She is always reliable, takes excellent care of my dog, and gives me peace of mind when I’m away. One thing I especially appreciate is the number of photos she sends during walks and visits. It’s so nice to see updates and know my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she works with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.
I’ve had to find a walker for my dog for my long work days and entrusting a new person always makes me nervous but Cindy has been great. She’s mindful of the heat and spends the time Ember doesn’t want to be outside, throwing toys and playing with her. This is something Ember has been doing less of as she’s gotten older so she must like her time with Cindy! Will def continue to book in the future!
Shams was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I always appreciated the updates and knew our dog was in good hands. She followed instructions carefully and made the whole experience easy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable walker or sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Atlanta on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,011 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Atlanta. 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 Atlanta. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Atlanta.

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 Atlanta. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
