“Shayla has been absolutely amazing with my dog! I’ve had to make a few last-minute requests, and she has always been so accommodating and comes through for me every time. She’s reliable, caring, and very communicative, which I really appreciate. I love that she keeps me updated and sends pictures during the walks—it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is being well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby with. I highly recommend her.”
“Raegan did an amazing job caring for my 2 large doodles which was booked somewhat last minute. She followed all instructions and I felt safe and comfortable entrusting her with my dogs!”
“Natela is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She's been walking my dog every day over the noon hour, as I am not able to make it home due to work. I come home to a happy puppy each night and I know it's because Natela does such a great job handling her. It's relieving to know that I never have to worry about leaving Natela in charge of watching over my dog and I love the updates and pictures she frequently sends me during their time together. I could tell the very first time that I introduced Natela to my dog that she was going to treat her as if she were her own, which was very comforting to me. I am beyond thankful for the help Natela has been providing me and I look forward to continuing to work with her! ”
About: Throughout my life, I’ve loved spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and helping care for their needs. I’ve volunteered at the Pet Resource Center in both the cat and dog play areas, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life.

He's a bit older so he spends most of his time just relaxing in his crate (loves being in there!) or just roaming around the backyard but he's a total sweetheart with other pups
About: Hey there! You can call me Claudia. I am a Florida native. My first job was at Animal House in St. Petersburg, Florida. I’ve loved caring for and spoiling animals for as long as I can remember. I recently lost my boxer lab after rescuing him 13 years ago. I’m not quite ready to adopt another pup so pet sitting allows me to care for and spoil your fur baby. Just consider me your pups “aunt” that will love and care for them as my own. This allowing me to spoil them with snuggles, belly rubs and endless hours of playtime. I am a flight attendant with very flexible availablity. I am able to accommodate a variety of schedules and I am available with minimal notice. I have a fenced in backyard and my neighborhood has a dog park your pup and I can visit and we can go on as many walks as they are used to. I do have a large crate if your dog prefers to use one.

About: I have always been around dogs since I can remember. My mom got me my first dog when I was 8 years old and from there I have been in love with dogs. I’m currently working from home which gives me time to dedicate time spend with your fur baby and play with. My schedule most of the times is pretty flexible. I have a french bulldog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He loves to play ball and spend time running around.

Basset hounds, Labrador retrievers, English bulldogs, Siberian huskies, American Staffordshire terriers, Yorkshire terriers, German Shepards, Australian Shepard’s, while currently being a dog mom for an Australian shepherd myself. I have received great hands-on experience from 4 years of vet-assisting classes, volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, and have been pet sitting and walking for over 8 years, giving me exceptional experience. I believe that animals are family and should be treated as such. Animals deserve all the love in the world and I am more than happy to provide care and TLC for your pets!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Balm is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk.

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 Balm. 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 Balm 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 Balm. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
