“Ilaria walked Donut twice this week, and I would happily book her again in the future. She arrived on time, walked Donut for a full 30 min, and I came home to a happy dog. Thanks, Ilaria!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I grew up with dogs, so being around them comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also regularly care for my nephew (a high-energy Goldendoodle) and my niece (a small Papillon), so I’m comfortable handling both larger, active dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable—whether your dog needs lots of playtime, structured routines, or a calm, gentle approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work full-time, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I also work from home occasionally, which gives me extra flexibility for daytime care and check-ins. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine in their own home. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or prefer a calm, relaxed visit.
“Lauren has been amazing with my dog, Chrissy! She is always reliable, on time, and spends quality time with her during every visit. Chrissy absolutely loves her, which says everything. Lauren has also gone above and beyond, helping me out with last-minute house sitting and always being incredibly thoughtful and accommodating. She’s communicative, dependable, and someone I completely trust with my dog. I couldn’t recommend her more for dog walking or pet sitting!”
“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.”
“Thank you for walking him! I loved all the pics you provided as well. It’s not you! we’ve been working on the potty outside but he’s on his own agenda lol i appreciate it! let’s try again tomorrow if you’re free? same time?”
“Luke did a great job with Lucy! He was communicative, punctual, and super kind. Lucy clearly loved him, which means the world to me. I really appreciated the photos, and I’ll definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
About: New to Rover, but not to dogs! I have 14 years of experience caring for dogs: from raising my beloved Pinscher Coco to years of dog sitting and boarding dogs of all breeds and sizes. Sadly, I recently had to say goodbye to my baby and I’d love to share that same care, attention and love I gave her with your dog. ❤️🌈 I’m European and offer what I like to call a “European-style dog-sitting experience”: • One dog at a time. I only accept one dog (or dogs from the same household) at a time, so your dog gets my full attention and is cared for as if they were my own. • Plenty of proper walks. Two lengthy walks of at least 1hr each per day, usually in the park or on the Beltline, plus regular potty breaks. I will NOT go to dog parks until I know your dog very well- your pets safety always comes first. (Of course, everything is adjusted to your dog’s age, health and energy level) • Mental enrichment. Brain-stimulation toys, snuffle mats, treat puzzles, lick mats, playtime and other activities based on what your dog enjoys. • I work from home. I’ll be with your dog throughout their stay, with plenty of company, attention, cuddles, playtime and supervision. • Peace of mind for you. You’ll receive regular photos and updates throughout their stay, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. • Just bring your dog! I provide everything needed for a comfortable stay: a spacious kennel, food & water bowls, toys, enrichment activities and treats, plus basic kibble if ever needed in a pinch. You’re of course always welcome to bring their favorite bed or toys from home; I just ask that you provide their usual food to keep their routine and diet consistent. I pride myself on offering a true dog retreat. Fair warning: your dog might not want to come home! 🐾😂 I work from home and am home about 90% of the time, which means your dog will have plenty of company, walks, playtime and attention throughout the day. I do occasionally step out for errands, groceries or a workout class. During those times, as well as overnight, your dog will be safely kenneled. For this reason, I can only accept dogs who are fully crate-trained and comfortable settling in their crate. I take this job incredibly serious. I know that for many of us, our dogs aren’t “just pets” - they’re family and often quite literally our babies 🐶❤️ I am First Aid/CPR certified and own a dog first aid kit. After every boarding visit I thoroughly clean and sanitize the space and toys with non-toxic cleaning supplies. Your pups safety, comfort and happiness always come first!
“For anyone who has a older dog, please book with Michael. He is the best!! His level of care snd detail to your dog will make you feel great knowing they are in good hands.”
“Cori is great! Very reliable, super friendly, and was very patient with our anxious dog. She was adaptable to whatever we needed. Highly recommend and plan to use her services again!”

If your dog has any special needs, I can help administer: -Special diets -Meds -Exercise regiments Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my services, or to schedule a doggie meet and greet Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover since I was a kid. Although I didn't grow up with a dog in the house, I always gravitated toward my neighbors' and friends' dogs and cared many of them during vacations. My love for dogs led me to volunteer service at animal shelters during my free time. I would play with them, take them for walks and talk to people about adoption. Thoroughly rewarding experience and helped me get my fix for dogs! When I finally adopted my dog Prima, happiness ensued. My pup is sincerely my best friend and we hang out together all the time. Yet, I still have a hankerin for more dogs! More furry guys running around my house, please! While I'm not ready to adopt another dog yet, I see Rover.com as a great service allowing me to interact with dogs and provide the care I know is vital to each dogs' parents! My experience administering medication Sure! Just tell me the schedule and the best way to get your dog to take their meds. I'm happy to help keep your dog healthy and Pet care is part of my daily routine since I have a 15.5 yr old dog named Prima. I take her on multiple walks a day and feed her before I feed myself. I care for pets in my home by making sure they're well-fed, comfortable, and happy. This includes play time with toys, treats, and of course walks and/or time in the backyard
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments and currently raise both a senior dog and a puppy, so I understand the different needs each stage requires. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication (if needed), walks, crate training, and providing a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize pet care daily since I have dogs of my own. I’m available for weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks or drop-ins. I can also provide boarding whenever it is needed. I provide a structured, safe, and attentive environment. My home has a fully fenced yard and two well-socialized dogs. I supervise all playtime, separate pets when necessary, and follow feeding, medication, and exercise routines carefully. Cleanliness, security, and communication are extremely important to me, and I provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Young, old, cuddly, and grouchy. I have administered medicine and changed diapers. I have also cleaned litter boxes. I currently work part time. I’m a dance teacher. I usually teach in the afternoons/evenings. I don’t work on the weekends. I am usually free in the mornings and middle of the day. I make sure they get plenty of time outside if that’s what they desire. I also make sure they have plenty of food, water, treats, and pets.
“Emma was wonderful, she helped us for a last minute situation and even stayed longer when our appointment went long. This was for a pet and pet owners she’s never met before! So lucky for us to meet her. She’s super kind and flexible, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her any time we need someone.”
“I was so thankful Abbigail and Cody were able to pick up a week of dog walking at the last minute! Very responsive, reliable, and sweet to my Roxie - thank you so so much :)”
“Andrea is super nice and was amazing with our dog. Jack is sometimes not the easiest to get along with but Andrea made him feel like we hadn't even left. We will definetly be using Andrea in the future!!”
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.

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.”
About: My goal as your pet’s sitter is to maximize my time with them by being attentive to and anticipate your fur baby’s needs while their person is away. Growing up, I always loved animals and took care of hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am gentle and loving while allowing the animal to take the lead with contact. I always respect animals’ autonomy and will always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am available to become your regular go-to sitter or a helping hand when you need one on occasion! My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your pet’s care as you need it to! Your furry family members are my top priority as you are away. I will ensure your pet sticks to their routine as you dictate it and feels comfortable despite your absence.

The median cost per walk for dog walking in Atlanta is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Atlanta
Lauren has been fantastic with Marv! He’s a reactive GSD with a food allergies, so not everyone’s cup of tea. She has been fantastic as I’ve had to text her book-long texts about his health or reactivity updates. She’s on time, consistent, and communicative. Highly recommend. Thanks Lauren!
Jewel is the sweetest! Not only do my doggies love her, but she is communicative, professional, timely, and has great experience and understands dogs. On top of all that, she takes the best pictures while they’re on their walks. We’re probably going to frame a few 😁
Mary walked Donut three times this week and did an excellent job. Donut had previously had a bad experience with a different walker and was feeling wary around new people, but Mary was gentle with her and helped Donut build back her trust 😄 I'd happily book with Mary again in the future.
Nathan came through for me at the very last minute and gave my babygirl what she needed. After losing another pet just days before I really needed someone flexible, trustworthy, and kind. Nathan was just that. I lucked up and he definitely made this transition a bit easier.
Mikyah was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and she completely exceeded my expectations. She was punctual, professional, and took such wonderful care of my Golden Retriever, Windsor. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure Windsor got a great walk, and treated her with so much love and kindness. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Windsor was in caring, capable hands while I was away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that Mikyah genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Mikyah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog walker. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Mikyah, for taking such great care of my sweet Windsor! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Atlanta on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,135 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:
- 92% 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.
