Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with many pets from a very young age. I have over 15 years of experience with both dogs and cats, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention. I’m patient, dependable, and make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also love sending regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop ins, and pet sitting throughout the week while making sure each pet gets the love, exercise, and companionship they need. My home is very pet friendly, annd outdoor time is supervised and on a leash. I live at the end of a quiet neighborhood next to a wooded area, which makes for very peaceful walks and plenty of opportunities for your dog to explore safely. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow all of your instructions and routines so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. 😊

I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and it was my responsibility since I was young to care for our family pets! I am 32, and at the age of 13 I started housesitting dogs/cats for neighbors and friends. Consistently in the last 10 years, I have taken care of pets for family and friends while they are out of town. I have a 15 year old dog who is blind, so I understand the desire to have someone give specific care and love to an animal with special needs. Every animal I take care of, I care for like it's my own! I have cared for multiple large dogs at once, dogs with high energy demands, as well as dogs as young as puppies or as old as seniors. I have also been a nanny for the last 5 years, so respecting someone’s home and space is essential to me. I have recently moved to Delaware to be closer to family. With this new move, I also hope to focus on my art career and get more involved in the community. With that being said, my schedule is very flexible! I am a morning-person who loves to exercise early, so morning dog walks/pet care wouldn't be a problem! I also do not mind being up later at night, if that is what your pet needs. I care for other’s homes and pets how I would want someone to care for my own. I am extremely respectful, and will make sure your pet and home are my first priority! I am very good at following specific instructions for pet-care in one’s own home. I have experience caring for both old and young pets, as well as pets with additional needs, such as routine medications and vitamins. When housesitting, I am also able to give animals as many walks/play time as desired. Although I have a dog of my own, I will not be bringing my dog along for walks/housesitting (my husband is able to watch him at home). I also am in constant communication with the owner, when caring for their pet.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Cammie and I am looking to help you with all your pet sitting needs. Whether it is a short walk during the work day or overnight care while on vacation, I am here to give as much love to your pets as you do! I currently work from home, so my workday is very flexible! Whether it’s short walks during the workday or longer visits on weekends, my schedule is highly adaptable. I follow the owner’s instructions when caring for their animals. By providing a safe and comfortable environment, pets can maintain familiarity with their surroundings and routines, just as their owners would.

About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have three cats and a puppy of my own. I’ve also had senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I’m completely comfortable giving medication and paying attention to signs of stress or discomfort. As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a calm, patient, and dependable approach to every visit. I always make sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for—whether that means playtime, gentle company, or simply sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make each visit stress-free for both you and your pet. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cat care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I don’t currently offer overnights or boarding, I’m able to stop by multiple times a day as needed. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I stick to your normal feeding, walking, and play routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure water and litter boxes are fresh. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to give extra cuddles to the social ones. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I give my own.

I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!

About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me! My mom is a veterinary technician, and between her experience and having five dogs of our own (plus fostering dogs!), I've had the opportunity to be around all kinds of personalities, ages, and energy levels. I've also been dog sitting for over 10 years for friends, family, neighbors, and other pet owners. As a recent college graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education, I'm responsible, dependable, and pay close attention to details. If your dog has a specific routine, I'll make sure to follow it! Whether it's feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to provide the care your pup is used to. I'm spending the summer living at the beach, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs in my care! I truly love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your pup like family and do everything I can to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time at a gym with flexible hours, and my shifts are usually no more than five hours long. This gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve! I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they are in reliable hands!

About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior. Think about this summer when you are out having fun and have to rush home to feed or walk your pet. I don't overnight in my home or yours because I have four animals of my own. Sorry. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. Most any time of day . Night time in a well lit area is preferred for me I don't overnight here or at you home as I have to be here for my own pets. But I can spend the day .

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bayard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Bayard on Rover is $29.28 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bayard. 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 Bayard. 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 Bayard.

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 Bayard. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
