Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!

Anastasia (Kristi) was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help tire our pup out with some exercise, and did some bonus training and cuddles. Our lab mix Kadee Buggins really soaked it up and we can’t wait to book her again! Very kind. Very professional. Extremely fast response rate and excellent communication with the visit. I felt so at ease and knew my dog was in great hands with Kristi.

About: Hi, I’m Drew, a proud dog dad to my Doberman Azula Kiyoshi and my late Golden Retriever Marley Appa. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. When a pet is in my care, they’re treated like family and receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, boarding stay, or house sitting, I do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I invite you to read my reviews from other pet parents who have trusted me with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute bookings, including weekends. When your pet stays with me, their routine and comfort are my priority. I have a flexible schedule and more then willing to take last minute request on the weekends. Your pup schedule becomes my schedule. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, they will be in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you are away.

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.

About: I've been pet sitting for family friends for years but more "professional" since last year. I have no issues with bigger or smaller dogs. I also personally trained my dog all the commands he knows, so I'm good with puppies or any high maintenance dogs. Currently I work a Monday through Friday 8:30-5:00 job. I get an hour lunch break I use to go home and check on the pups and after 5:00 I have all afternoon to play. Besides my work hours I'm completely flexible on walk, feeding, etc. times to meet your pet's needs and routine. My weekends are completely free I try to make the pets and you the owners feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'm respectful with any boundaries you or your pet may have and I can easily adapt to your pets wants and needs.

Linda was very intuitive to Bear’s needs! He’s an old dog with arthritis, and she never pushed him past his limits on their walk. You could tell he was very at ease with her. I appreciate the wonderful care she’s given him!

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past two years and personally potty trained her, taught her tricks, and trained her to be comfortable and well-behaved around people. I also worked in child care for two years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with attention and love. I treat every dog with the same care and protection I would give a one-year-old baby, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. I’m flexible during those times and happy to work with your pet’s routine. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Avalon Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Avalon Park on Rover is $31.64 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 375 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Avalon Park. 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 Avalon Park. 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 Avalon Park.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Avalon Park. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
