“If we could give Madison 10 stars, we would! My husband and I travel frequently for work and Madison is always responsible, kind and understanding when tending to our pup, Yoshi. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur baby while you’re gone, look no further and book here!”
About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! ***FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY *** We do require all dogs who are boarding in our home to eat and sleep in a crate, as well as be in their crate if we need to leave the house for any reason. This is strictly for safety reasons to keep all dogs and our children safe. We understand that not everyone is a fan of crating their dog, and we would never do so without consent. This is non negotiable. If you feel strongly your dog does not require needed a crate please reach out to me and we can talk as I do make very rare exceptions. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and neighbors cats and dog the last few years. I also pet sit overnight especially if it’s an emergency. I currently work from home but I am available at all times especially weekends which makes it easy for me do drop in and check on pets. I have a fenced yard and a lovely big dog who likes to play with dogs. I also keep an eye on them and make sure they are safe.
“Julia went above and beyond taking care of Skipper. We are completely satisifed with the drop in visits and walks through the week. Julia provided excellent updates and prompt communication. We would absolutely contract her services again and we recommend using Julia!”
About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.
About: I care for all animals as they are my own. Meeting their basic needs is just the bare minimum of care I provide. Anytime I care for someone's pet, I spend extra hours hanging out with them giving them love and attention so that they don't feel lonely. I love all types of animals! I also like to stay active so taking care of your special baby helps me stay active, with the perk of getting animal lovings. I've only ever cared for pets in their home. This way your baby will be more comfortable in its known environment. I will gladly bring in any mail/packages you receive.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Black River is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $20 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.
As of November 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Black River. 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 Black River. 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 Black River 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 Black River. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
