“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”
“Very pleased with Cassandra and her services. My dog loves when Cassandra stops by for a walk! Love the updates and photos too. Would definitely recommend Cassandra.”
“Dante was great! It is our first time with a dog walker and he was wonderful about the lock box/entering the apartment. Suzy gets nervous around new people sometimes and it seems like she did great with him.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 45 years and I love my animals like they are my kids. That’s what you can expect from me while caring for your pets. I’ve had little dogs and big dogs, cats, fish, even horses. I especially love Great Danes and for some reason they love me. I have no fear of them and appreciate their lap dog in a big dog body personalities. My favorite thing is when I’ve just met a new Dane, within a few minutes of meeting them they are comfortable enough to start “herding” me. This is when I know I’ve gained their confidence and trust. Most of them try to sit on my lap, I always let them. ❤️? I’m currently working remotely and have flexibility with my work and schedule. I can be available on a short or advanced notice for visits in my home or yours. I have a semi fenced yard and 2 dog parks nearby. I have 2 cats. One is social and inquisitive while the other is a princess and lounges in her royalty most of the day. Your pet and I would be besties and get as much or little attention as they desire for the duration of their stay with me.
About: Hi! I’m Simone. I’m a dog mama and I am available for frequent drop-in visits and boarding. I have years of experience caring for dogs and would love to help you out while making some extra money. Please let me know if I can help keep your dog company. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a very flexible work from home schedule so I’m available all day to be with your pet for as long as you need. I have a yard that’s not fenced but I live in a nice neighborhood with sidewalks and can take your pup on a long walk. I can also come to your home and give your pet long walks and potty breaks.
“Alex is fantastic. It’s clear that she really cares about dogs and people. She has gone the extra mile to the best care of Hershey. She’s always on time and communicates well. I can’t say enough good things about her!”
“Amanda was great! She is always on time and makes our dogs care her priority. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog sitter or walker.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, and have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age, and I’ve frequently cared for neighbor’s dogs. I’m very good with puppies as well as seniors. I have extensive experience caring for animals, including being a veterinary technician at a vet hospital. Im currently a full time college student, but with multiple long breaks between classes I’ll be able to care for your animals. On weekends, I have no classes so I’ll be available for your animals anytime. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I have a fully fenced in yard. I have two sisters who are full of energy who would love to play with any dog that will walk past them, as well as two friendly dogs
“Khabeera is amazing! She is reliable, trust worthy, and super caring. She sends lots of pics and updates when caring for your pet giving peace of mind that they are in good hands! Highly recommend her 😊🐶”
About: Through out my life I have owned two senior dogs who required extra love and attention. I have trained and worked with puppies as well. I am currently available weekdays at anytime throughout the day. I can do morning or evenings. I can not wait to play with your dogs! I have experience watching fur babies in clients homes. I can help in anyway that you need whether it’s medicine, walks, playtime, or nap time.
About: With three dogs of my own, I'm used to a little chaos, lots of personality, and plenty of love! I've had dogs my whole life, and my current dogs are different ages, so I understand that each one has their own pace and needs. I've also cared for family pets and know how much it means to trust someone with your best friend. I'll take the time to learn your pet's routine and quirks so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days for walks and drop-in visits! Caring for my dogs is already part of my daily routine, and I'd love to make time for yours too. We can discuss the timing that works best for your pet. I'll care for your pet in their own home, where they're surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and their favorite things! I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and playtime, respect your space and make sure your pet is safely settled before I leave. You can also expect photos and updates along the way!
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.
“Colleen is awesome. She is very communicative, flexible, professional, and goes above and beyond in making sure my Ellie girl gets the exercise/socializing/enrichment/love she needs while I’m at the office!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience and have owned pets of all shapes & sizes from hamsters, ducks, chinchillas to cats & dogs. I'm skilled in administering medication and caring for elderly pets. I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! Between my fiancé’s and my work schedules, your pups won’t be alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On weekends, I’m completely free and will be 100% devoted to your pups! ❤️ I’ll make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with me. I have a large fenced dog with two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They’re welcome to lounge on the furniture & I have no problem crating if that’s what you prefer.
About: Being a pet owner (of all types) most of my adult life has blessed me in ways I can't even put into words. I have looked after 8 week old puppies as well as cared for the elderly. It would be my honor to look after and care for your four-legged family members in the same way I would want my "kiddos" to be looked after. I will always put them first and I will ensure that they receive the same love and affection that they would receive from you during every visit/stay. I love to send my clients pictures during those days/nights that they are away, and give them that assurance that their pet is in good hands and is being well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Ariel and I'm here to take care of your pet. I have owned at least one dog my entire life. I also had cats so I am a dog and cat lover! One of my own dogs was diabetic so I have experience with insulin injections and administering medicine to animals. From taking care of my diabetic pet, I am very reliable and on time as I know some animals must stick to their schedule. While I have my own personal experience with pets, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter in Wilmington. There I have walked dogs, taken care of puppies, cared for cats and other animals (there was once a cute pig named Hamlet). I love working with and taking care of animals. I treat my dog like a member of the family and more specifically like my own baby. I'd love to care for your member of the family too! I'll treat them as if they were my own so you know your pet will be in safe and loving hands. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please feel free to ask!
“Joy is amazing! Joy signed on to take care of my mom’s dog during a recent illness. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met her. She is someone both people and pets feel totally comfortable around. Joy was communicative, flexible, responsive, kind, and completely reliable. And she clearly loves dogs! We feel lucky to have found our way to her and to have developed an ongoing caretaking relationship. Highly recommend!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Barkley is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 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.

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 Barkley. 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 Barkley 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 Barkley. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
