Kelly is kind, gentle, punctual, and trustworthy!! I had shoulder surgery so Kelly came over daily to walk my two dogs. One day, there were several emergency vehicles blocking my street. Kelly couldn’t get through with her car so she went home, got her bike, and made it to my house. Dedication and perseverance. Thank you, Kelly!

Antonio is great with Sebastian! He puts his coat on him in cold/rainy weather, brings him treats, and takes wonderful photos of Sebbie on their walks. Sebastian definitely enjoys his company!

About: I have always loved animals in general, but I still haven’t found the words to describe my love for dogs of all kinds. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets, from puppies to seniors, since I was a teen. I have experience caring for multiple animals while house sitting for a family friend with 7 dogs, 6 beagles and a chocolate lab! Although I am biased towards dogs, I do enjoy the company of cats and have experience caring for the cats of neighbors and friends. I currently work 2nd shift, so my mornings and early afternoons are free for midday walks and check ins! Most days I start at 3pm and get off between 9pm and 11pm. I will follow any specific instructions for the care of your furry friend! I’d love to work with you to make sure both you and your pet have a wonderful experience!

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I also have fostered pregnant mothers/newborn puppies and kittens for over 10 years! You won’t find someone who loves animals more than me! I’m currently in nursing school at an accelerated program in Norfolk and living in Virginia Beach. I With that I have a bit of an odd schedule, so feel free to reach out about your needs! I would love to earn some money to put towards school and get some animal loving at the same time! I’m able to feed, walk, play, and cuddle with all your pets! I do have multiple animals at my house currently so I would prefer to come to your home as opposed to bring them to mine, thanks!

About: Looking for reliable dog walking and pet sitting services? I offer personalized care for your furry friends, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a daily walk, weekend getaway, or just some extra care during busy times, you can trust me to keep your pets happy and safe. Let me take care of your pets like they’re my own! As a stay at home mother I have the flexibility to be there when you need me. Short notice visits and care are always welcome. I strive to create and maintain long term relationships with my clients and their pets. Overnight visitors will be kept company by a small child and an elderly chocolate lab, both of whom love having furry friend sleepovers. I am happy to continue your crate training or provide a free roam environment. We have a fully fenced in yard for potty and play time. I am also familiar with breeds that are unable to do long walks (such as frenchies) and can accommodate minor special needs.

About: I’ve had multiple animals growing up, even birds! I currently have just a Maine Coone Kitty. I love walking/park with my little one and your furry companion would be a wonderful addition or if they just need some loving during the day! I’m currently a SAHM that loves to go to parks with my little one (6 years) and go on a 2-2.5 milk after! When we’re home, we play in our fenced yard and your furry loved one can accompany us even when we snuggle up to watch a movie! I have a fenced in yard so a dog can roam, use the bathroom and come back in. I have a baby gate to keep from roaming up stairs to the littles room but free access anywhere else.

Morgan was wonderful. She took my last‑minute request while I’m recovering from an injury and handled my big, energetic dog with confidence and care. She sent photo updates throughout the walk, which was such a comfort. Consistent and warm communication, reliable, and truly a huge help. I’d book with her again. Highly recommend.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. Not only did my family own dogs growing up, I volunteered at a shelter in college. Friends, family, and neighbors alike have trusted me to care for their pets. My company allows be to work remote; therefore, pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I might not be in a position to own a dog long term, per care comes naturally to me and is something I enjoy doing. I offer pet care in the clients home. I noticed dogs feel more at ease in their home environment. As long a there is Wi-Fi I can work from my clients house and tend to their pets.

About: Hi!👋🏼 I'm Jenna! Animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Rescue animals will always have a special place in my heart, but at the end of the day, I truly love all animals and treat every pet like family! When I moved away to college, I was alone for only 2 months, and realized I couldn't imagine life without a furry companion and that’s where Carrot came into my life and made me a FurMom! During college, I also fostered dogs and cats, helping them prepare for their forever homes. My older sister previously worked at both an Animal Hospital and PetSmart, and she's taught me so much about pet care, behavior, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I know every pet is unique, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give Carrot. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own. ** IMPORTANT * I will ask for your document verification of ALL UP TO DATE VACCINES and they MUST be on a flea, tick, and heart-worm preventive ** Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed). I also respect your home and your pet's unique preferences, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

Spring semester is over and will not be back in classes until the Fall! I care for the needs of the pet/pets as instructed by the client. I try to make it so it was as if the client was home!

About: With a deep passion for animals, I offer attentive and compassionate pet sitting services. Having spent years caring for my own fur babies, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and a gentle touch. Aside from my personal experience with my animals, I also use to work as a Kennel Attendant at the Dominion Veterinary Clinic for a year. At this job I had many responsibilities such as feeding and walking dogs, feeding the cats and making sure their space was clean, playtime!, administrating medication, giving baths, nail trims, etc. From playful pups to shy kittens, each animal holds a special place in my heart, and I ensure they receive the love and care they deserve while their owners are away. With me, your pets are not just clients; they become family. Offering FREE meet & greets for new clients! I am currently unemployed and stay at home for the majority of my day, so i’ll have plenty of time to tend to your pets! I currently live in an apartment, so I don’t have a yard. But the neighborhood is a nice and well kept community, I see people outside walking their dogs all the time. We don’t have any other pets in the house so taking care of one pet in the house, if needed, is doable with no restrictions!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bay Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Bay Island on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,137 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bay Island. 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 Bay Island. 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 Bay Island.

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 Bay Island. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
