About: Dog lover. Dog walker - part time I loved dogs since I was a little girl ,I had a labrador and currently have a miniature poodle. I have always taken care of neighbors dog as well as my family’s pets when they travel. I have experience with shar peis, Poodles, Labrador, cocker spaniels and pugs. I am used to walk my dog 2 times a day early on the morning as well as at evening when the sun goes down. I work from home so it is easy for me to manage my schedule. I have a friendly miniature poodle who is a really layback senior dog. I love to walk and ride my bike around my neighborhood so It would be ideal to increase my routine walks. When boarding dogs , it would be your dog and my dog only with a previous meetup. Well behave dogs , no chewing furniture and potty trained. Dogs are allow on the furniture. Dogs will be treated as family. 😊

About: I am a college student missing my dogs back home, so I decided to become a dog walker on Rover. I have always had dogs growing up and started dog walking and dog sitting about five years ago. I love all dogs and I am qualified to take care of them with my experience. I dog watch about every two weeks and dog walk every weekday in the past, since I moved I am looking to get back into the routine. I am pretty flexible in my hours and I am willing to work with you. All of my clients have all been satisfied with my services and gave me great feedback and recommendations. If you ever need me to do anything additional from dog walking I will be more than happy to. I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I am currently in college and have pretty open availability. Tuesdays and Thursdays are booked for mid-day walks. I am usually available on the weekends. I will make sure to take care of your dogs needs, spend a little extra time with them playing with them if that is the best fit for them. I will always make sure they are safe and happy.

About: For more than 20 years, our life has been rooted in service and travel — first as a retired military family, and later as mission workers serving orphaned youth in the Dominican Republic. Through those experiences, home became especially meaningful to me. Some of the greatest joy in my life has come from raising my children, caring for our animals, and tending to our small homestead. My kids are all older and have all been raising animals alongside of me their whole life. We find great enjoyment in caring for the homes and animals of others with the same love and attention we give our own. We’re also able to care for chickens and other hobby farm animals. I am a homesteading and homeschooling Mom with older children, so my day is flexible with notice. I can do drop in visits to your home within a reasonable distance or stay over night keeping your pets comfortable in their own home as well. Because of the number of animals we already have on our little homestead, I’m only able to offer care for your fur-baby in your home.

About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.

About: I was raised in a dog family, so have been taking care of them my whole life. I've taken care of pets for friends and family. I've even spent time working in a Dog Kennel/Daycare too. I have experience with all breeds, sizes, ages and quirks. I have a house with a good yard, located conveniently off of I-40, near Triad Park. I service Greensboro and Winston-Salem; the Triad is my home. I enjoy catch, walks and hiking. I'm a fan of huge dogs, and enjoy playing games with smaller dogs too. I love pits & bully breeds! Currently, I have a wide availability so you don't have to worry about your furry family members one bit. Be at ease while your pet is in my care. Caring for your pets comes first, each day. Walks first and last thing; not to mention throughout the day. I keep them well watered; and will monitor their vitals if appropriate. If the weather’s good, & they’re in good health, I’d love to take them to the park. They can help me play guitar, or just vibe with me however is most fitting for them.

Alexandra was great. She was available on a last minute booking. Mei can be shy around people she doesn’t know, but she seemed very happy to go for a walk with her. She made sure Mei had water and food before she left.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ave Maria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ave Maria is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 1,009 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ave Maria. 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 Ave Maria. 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 Ave Maria 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 Ave Maria. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
