“Jonathan is seriously the best! He’s got a great energy and our pup adores him. It's like he has a secret language with dogs – our dog gets so excited every time he shows up. Reliability, a dash of humor, and a lot of doggy love – that's what you get with this awesome dog walker. I also appreciate the updates on how Chloe was doing! Definitely recommend!”

About: I am a Miami transplant with much experience pet sitting and dog walking. Your pet is going to love me almost as much as they love you! I am very close with my dog Corky who lives in Baltimore. I have a full time remote job that is very chill. I can take breaks as needed and walk your furry friend as much as needed.

About: Hi! I work from home, which means your dog receives plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and supervised care throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, loving environment and follow each pet’s normal routine closely. I have years of hands-on dog experience, including puppy care, senior dogs, exercise needs, and medication support. I also send regular photo/video updates so you always know your pet is happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs boarding, daycare, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll care for them like family. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home. I make sure dogs get plenty of breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. With experience training puppies and an 8-year-old Australian Blue Collie of my own who loves making doggy friends, I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also make sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love. If caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and rules closely to ensure your dog feels comfortable and safe in their own environment.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover — raised with dogs, big and small, and I’ve always seen them like my own kids! Over the years, I’ve shared my life with Chihuahuas, Labradors, and even a Kangal, Turkish mountain dog! Each one had a completely different personality, and they’ve taught me so much about patience, understanding, and unconditional love. My latest little rescue, Gofret, a loving Maltese, is currently living with my mom as her emotional support companion. I miss her so much, and I’d love to share some of that love with your furry family members. To me, dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. 🐾❤️ I work for myself from home, so my schedule is quite flexible and I can arrange walks and drop-in visits around your pet’s needs. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, brushing, playtime, and of course, plenty of love and attention. I always do my best to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. I live with my husband in a secure apartment building in Miami Beach, with no children or pets currently at home. I’m very attentive during walks, especially around traffic, other dogs, and anything curious little noses might pick up along the way! During home visits, I respect your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have been around them for most of my life. I’ve had cats since I was 5 and dogs since I was 10, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my everyday life. During college, I was far from home and really missed spending time with my own pets, so I started pet sitting regularly. It became a great way for me to still have animals in my life while helping other people care for theirs. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I work remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to care for your pets, take them on walks, play with them, or simply keep them company. I’m generally available during the day as well as evenings and nights. I just need a little notice so I can organize my schedule around your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I’ll make sure they have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention and company. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Sofia, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet owner to both a dog and a cat. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also worked as a dog grooming assistant, where I learned how to safely handle pets, read animal body language, and help nervous, energetic, or shy pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, and pet care needs. I do my best to be available whenever needed and will always communicate clearly about my availability to ensure your pet receives reliable and consistent care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make every effort to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routines. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I will make sure they receive the attention and care they need. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and communication, and I will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and confident throughout the entire experience. 🐾❤️

About: Hi, My name is Julia and up until a couple years ago I used to have a large black pit/lab mix named Cash (after Johnny Cash ☺️). I had him for almost 8 years since he was a puppy and trained him myself (I even got him therapy dog certified so I could take him to work with me at the hospital sometimes). I have experience taking care of him as well as friends/family dogs of all breeds and sizes from puppies to senior dogs. Unfortunately, he battled cancer for almost two years and he lost that battle a few years ago 😔. I wasn’t ready for another dog for a few years so I just fostered dogs and volunteered at shelters. However, a couple years ago I found my current pup Zev on the streets in a small village in Portugal and knew he was meant to be my dog. He’s a sweet scruffy mixed breed dog that loves people, dogs, affection, swimming, adventuring, and playing fetch. Nothing makes me happier than being around & taking care of dogs! Keeping dogs safe and happy is a priority to me! I really love all animals of all breeds, but especially love dogs! ❤️ In my free time and as I travel, I volunteer with local dog shelters & foster as I’m able to. I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to come to you and explore new neighborhoods/parks with your dog. Please let me know if I can help you with any of your dog walking or house sitting needs! If you have any special requests, I would be happy to accommodate so please just let me know what you need! I would love to have the opportunity to care for your dog while you are away! I hope to hear from you soon 😊 I currently work remotely from home so I will have plenty of time to look after and play with your dog/cat! I’m available for drop-ins during the week and weekends and can accommodate pet boarding & house sitting on an as needed basis - reach out to me and let me know your needs and I will try to accommodate as best I can. I have a secure outdoor area as well as lots of places within walking distance. Happy to accommodate any special instructions whether in my home or your home - just let me know what is needed.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dara and her willingness to help out with our dog, Maggie. We reached out to Dara in the hopes that she could assist with a few mid-day walks for Maggie. Dara was more than accommodating with our schedule, even offering to meet Maggie on a Saturday to make sure she had time to get acquainted before the first walk. She was in constant communication with us, providing videos and photos for each one of Maggie's daily walks. And, most importantly, Maggie was very comfortable with Dara! We will definitely be using Dara's services again.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bal Harbour

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bal Harbour is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $33 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 7,156 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bal Harbour. 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 Bal Harbour. 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 Bal Harbour 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 Bal Harbour. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 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.
