My husband and I met Alisha in October for a meet and greet with Milo, our mixed yellow lab and golden retriever. The meeting was for an upcoming trip during the Christmas holidays. We instantly liked her, she was on time when she came, she was professional, she bonded right away with Milo. Soon after I booked a three day walk in November just to reconnect again with her. It was for a 30 minute walk and again she was on time and I love the fact that I get a text and a pic of the walk. Tomorrow will be the start of a 13 day house sitting and we feel confident about the whole thing knowing that Milo will not be neglected. We’re glad we came across her at Rover. I highly recommend her.

About: I’m Christina — a lifelong animal lover based in beautiful McMinnville wine country! Find me on insta @ GomezGetaway Myhome is full of love, fun, structure, and lots of tail wags thanks to our own pups, Mazie & Louie! I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful, so my goal is simple: I want your pup to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and part of the family while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, couch cuddles, sunbathing, or just a calm environment to relax in, I work hard to make their stay feel like a little getaway of their own. I provide personalized attention, frequent updates/photos, and a warm home environment with lots of supervision and care. I currently keep my bookings intentionally small so each dog gets plenty of attention and a low-stress experience. This also allows me to learn your dog’s routines, personality, and needs so they feel right at home. What you can expect: 🐾 Frequent photo updates 🐾 Safe, loving home environment 🐾 Flexible communication 🐾 Personalized care & attention 🐾 A fun but calm atmosphere Bonus: your pup may even go home with a cute photo, treat, or little surprise from their stay 😊 I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it—it’s something I prioritize, not squeeze in. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday activity, or evening wind-down time, I make sure each dog’s needs and routine are followed closely so they feel comfortable and cared for. I work full time at home! My job is flexible and allows for play time, potty breaks and lunch time walks! I have a large fenced backyard where your pup is free to play, explore and potty! I have two additional fur babies who will keep your pup company! Your pup will likely spend most of the day with me inside, in my office. I give my pups space to roam the house if they want, but they generally sleep on the couch behind me. I am also able to crate your pup if that's what they're used to or comfortable with. I am flexible to your needs!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best possible care. Growing up, I've had three dogs and one cat, and I've also cared for bunnies and chickens. This experience has taught me to understand and cater to the unique needs of different animals. I'm dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I truly value every opportunity to pet sit and make it a positive experience for both the pet and their owner. I go to school at Linfield University and play for the women’s basketball team. Outside of that, I would love to spend my time caring for your pets! When I'm caring for pets in my client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all instructions carefully and maintain open communication with the pet owners. I'm committed to providing a loving and attentive atmosphere, making sure each animal feels comfortable and cared for.

About: Ive had dogs my entire life. Ive taken care of dogs of all ages, size, and temperaments. I currently have an elderly blind chihuahua, and a corgi mix who is reactive. I recently left my job of 4 years due to lack of proper management. Im taking classes through Chemeketa but my schedule is very flexible. It’s important that all animals feel safe and respected around me. I’m not easily startled by reactive animals, all it takes is a little time to grow comfort.

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.

About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have 3 years of professional experience as a Kennel Technician at Reynolds Dog Resort. I’ve cared for many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs, including rescue, shy, high-energy, and special-needs dogs. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, administering medications, and providing safe, patient, and loving care. I’d love to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! I worked at Reynolds Doggy Daycare Resort in McMinnville, Oregon as a kennel technician. In this role, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments throughout the day, often supervising groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. My responsibilities included ensuring proper hydration, enrichment, and cleanliness. I was trained in dog behavior and handling, which prepared me to confidently and safely manage a wide range of situations. When walking dogs, I always use secure harnesses and leashes, and I carry water to keep them hydrated. I carefully assess each dog’s temperament to ensure they are compatible with walking companions, minimizing stress and preventing conflicts. I maintain constant attention to their surroundings to ensure safety from traffic, hazards, or unpredictable situations. Beyond dogs, I also enjoy spending time caring for our Russian tortoise, which reflects my experience and passion for a variety of animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ballston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 929 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ballston. 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 Ballston. 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 Ballston.

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 Ballston. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
