“Stephanie has been reliable, a great communicator, and our dog loves her! She gives him plenty of water breaks on their walks together. I’m so happy we have found her! I recommend her to anyone who needs a kind person to help out with their pets.”
“Kathy is wonderful as always! My whole family loves her visits and my pups are always so much happier when I get home after she has been over! Could not recommend Kathy enough!!”
“Savanna took my dogs out during a pretty hot part of the day, at my request. The dogs feet were getting hot so she stopped the walk and just played with them inside. Great insight and care on her part.”
“Sarah was fantastic with our golden retriever puppy. She communicated well with us, and I appreciated all the pictures she shared. When we needed an extra walk on very short notice, she was quick to respond.”
“Cameron was responsive to my request and helped me out with very little notice. He was flexible with scheduling and went above and beyond with my dogs. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals—-dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I’m a very detail oriented person and I love when an owner gives me as much detail as possible in order to take the best care of their baby ☺️ I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds, all sizes and dogs with different needs (helping a dog thru a weight loss journey, anxious shy dogs, dogs that require medication etc). I love animals more than I love people and it shows! Anytime I meet someone’s pet, they’re always drawn to me and I feel very honored by that! I’m extremely patient and calm with animals because I have had my own pets who had special needs. I’m currently new to the Colorado Springs area and doing gig work, so I can be available to check on your pets anytime throughout the day! I treat a clients home with the utmost respect and only go where authorized or use only what the client tells me to for their pet! I’m very attentive to pets’ safety and I will treat your baby with the love and respect that I treat my own with ☺️
“I have had Kara walk my Solita twice now and she is excellent . Kara always communicates well with us and is incredibly professional . Kara takes great care of my pup and is someone who I would trust with any pup. I highly recommend Kara to anyone who is looking for a responsible, trustworthy , and professional dog walker.”

About: I specialize in small and medium dogs, along with seniors and special needs dogs. I've worked from home for 15+ years, which means constant, cozy company for your dog, with no long stretches alone. - I currently only board small dogs overnight and can accept small and medium dogs for drop-in daycare in my home. - I can walk and drop in your home for dogs of all sizes. I've also volunteered with birds and horses, so patience and hands-on care come naturally to me. After adopting my sweet senior dog at age 14, I stayed by his side until he passed at 17. Caring for dogs now is how I honor his memory. I'd love to spoil your pup while you're away. Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. Your dog will have constant 24/7 companionship, regular gentle potty breaks, and a calm, cozy environment. I have two friendly, medium-sized dogs who are crate-trained and great with small and senior pups. For complete safety and comfort, any dog I sit stays right by my side and is never left alone with other pets. I focus on creating a secure, low-stress environment for every pet. When hosting in my home, guest dogs receive constant supervision, stay with me all day long, and have access to a safe, fully fenced yard for fresh air and gentle potty breaks. My own two dogs are friendly, well-mannered, and crate-trained, ensuring smooth boundaries and a calm atmosphere. Whether in my home or yours, I respect every dog’s individual pace, mobility needs, and daily routine, and I am happy to accommodate special care/needs for senior dogs and dogs of all ages.
“Lexi has been a tremendous help! I am unable to take my dog on walks due to an injury and she’s been taking him out and about for me! He loves his walks I’m so glad she’s can get him out of the house when I can’t! My dog loves it!”
“Rose is awesome! She has truly been a blessing to help with my dogs while am at work. She is courteous and professional. She is also very kind and display thoughtful consideration for the need of my dogs. I am truly grateful that she accepted my request to care for my dogs!!”
“Amazing! I cannot thank Courtney enough for taking such good care of both of our animals. I will definitely use her again if we ever go out of town. Made our trip so much more fun knowing we didn’t have to worry about our girls getting good love and care. Cannot recommend enough!”
“We’ve used Vivian multiple times and she’s been great every time. Tobie loves his walks with her and always comes home happy. We really appreciate her consistency and care!”

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to my flexible, remote work schedule. I’m able to set aside dedicated blocks of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk during a midday break, a morning or evening check-in, or spending time outdoors on weekends, I’m able to balance my work while being fully present for each pet. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their pet’s routine as closely as possible. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and care to ensure a seamless experience for both the pet and owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Black Forest
Cassie has been an incredible dog walker for my service dog, Reina, on Mondays and Fridays. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals have given me complete peace of mind knowing Reina was in such caring hands. Over the time she worked with us, Cassie built a wonderful bond with Reina and always went above and beyond to ensure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her kindness, patience, and dedication never went unnoticed. Reina and I are truly saddened to see Cassie leave, but we are so grateful for everything she has done for us. While we will miss her tremendously, we wish her nothing but success, happiness, and exciting new adventures in this next chapter of her life. Thank you, Cassie, for your outstanding care, friendship, and commitment. You have made a lasting impact on both of us, and we will always be grateful. ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Black Forest on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,604 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Black Forest. 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 Black Forest. 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 Black Forest.
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 Black Forest. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
