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.

My dogs adore Trina and are super excited when she shows up to walk them. She is very reliable, kind to the resident kitties and the dogs would trade me for her in an instant.

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: I was born and raised on a ranch caring for many types of animals. I have extended my background from cows, horses and sheep to training, breeding and so much more with dogs. I am respectful, patient and have an overall love for every animal! I am currently a stay at home mom and looking for other work when I stumbled upon Rover. I love animals and am very excited at the chance to be around them more! I have a fenced yard and my own dog as well who gets along great with everyone. I have crates if needed and a park very close to run some energy out!

About: Hello! I now host doggy and other animal boarding in my own home! Going on vacation? Wanna leave the pup with someone safe and trusted? I have a Big yard and up to two professional dog caretakers at a time 😊 Let’s talk!… I grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well! Aside from cats and dogs, I especially enjoy caring for horses (feel free to inquire separately!), rodents, reptiles, chickens, and more. Available almost everyday/nights and open to all inquiries. Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can. I strive to spend most of my days caring for pets and my doggy (or cat/other!) most of all. I provide personalized and loving care from Portland, or in your home, anywhere from Salem To Eugene! Shoot me a message anytime and I will reply promptly. Whether your fur baby is in my home or yours, overnights or walking, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness, privacy, and respect. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly. For all clients, I will setup a time for us to meet in person to get to know each other better, and for your pet to get to know me in a familiar environment prior to the first day of care!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for family pets, including our two Chihuahuas and my sister’s Labrador. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and roommates. I enjoy walking dogs, playing with pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. My background as a supervisor and coach has taught me responsibility, communication, and consistency, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages. I have a flexible schedule throughout most of the day. My mornings and evenings are typically spent coaching rugby and working out, but outside of those times I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop in visits, cat care, and house sitting. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from owners. I prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, making sure doors and gates are secure, and paying attention to each pet’s comfort and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.

About: Ever since I remember I’ve always cared of all types of dogs! I’ve worked in a boarding kennel which I have worked with many senior dogs as well as small few month old puppies! I have experienced in the care of disabled dogs that have medical handi-capabilities! I also have experience with long house stays even over holidays! I am usually always working a night shift so throughout the day, I’m always readily available for walks and long daycare days! I always make sure that my availability with work never clashes with my passions! Depending on the animal I have set play times, down times, feeding times, and walk times! The care of the animal is really important to me so I’m always open to a at home schedule or ones that I can make myself! No matter what home I am in I treat it with respect and always keep it clean.

About: I had been pet sitting regularly for clients in Bailey, CO for the past five years until we moved down to Mesquite, NV. They had an English and Bull Mastiff plus horses, goats and chickens. I take care of dogs for my friends who have recommended me to other clients over the course of the last fifteen years. I am a total dog lover and love to stop and pet each and every one I come across. I take daily walks, weather permitting, with the dogs I am taking care of, including the English Mastiff! Because I do not have a full time job, I am available weekdays and weekends and am very flexible regarding times. I love and treat each dog as my own. I moved from Mesquite to Woodburn, OR 2 years ago and am starting to get back into dog sitting again. So please reach out if you need to board your dog at my house. I have a home with a nice backyard and am close to Centennial Park which has two dog parks, one for smaller dogs and the other for the bigger ones. Pet sitting and dog walking are my only job. I can devote all my time each day to taking care of your pets. I will take your pups for a walk or a jog each day I have them and give them all the attention they want. I have a fenced in backyard that we can play in. I do let pets on my furniture if it’s ok with the client. I will totally love on your pup until they feel comfortable and safe in my home.

About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.

About: I have been a pet caregiver since I was a very small girl. I have helped Mama's deliver babies when needed. I have even done mouth to mouth and chest compressions on new horns a few times when needed. I have a huge heart for pets and animals of all kinds. My family of pets are trained either to alert me to go potty, use a box or crate themselves. I am able to give medication as needed and bathe if needed. My children are PET TRAINED. I have very strict rules in place about all animals big or small. I really hope you consider us in your upcoming needs. Happy New Year! I am always home except for appointments which we can discuss and decide if on those days I can meet your pets needs or if another sitter is better. I do not smoke in my home. I have 4 children, all pet trained and pet friendly. I do not have a large or fenced yard BUT I have an absolutely amazing park that abuts to my house so there is plenty of opportunity to run and play. I am at home all day for the entire week so I am able to keep a good schedule for my fury clients. I don’t have a problem with med or potty schedules. I listen to their needs. I watch for cues to hunger or need to potty. I feed and walk my pets or clients pets. When they need bathed I handle that as well. Medications in my house are no problem at all as over the years I’ve learned a lot about injectable and oral medications. I’m not the master for certain but I try my best to be your pets next best friend while I am with them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ballston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 925 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:

  • 99% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
