Jessi was great with my late booking. I shared a little bit about my dogs’ quirks and she reassured me about her experience. We weren’t able to meet ahead of time but she asked good questions that made me feel confident that she would take good care of my babies. We were in the middle of a heat wave and she did so well accommodating them. Great pics of my smiling cuties even though Jessi was essentially a stranger to them.

About: I have been a dog owner since I was young and a dog mom for more than ten years! Play time, walks, going to the park, and snuggles, are a day to day necessity. Along with treats, dietary needs/supplements, and any special care your best friend might need. I am here to make your baby comfortable and happy in my care while you’re away. An attempt to distract them from missing you so much ☺️ I’m available on weekends and during weekday mornings until 11:00 AM, making me a great option for morning walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or weekend boarding. I make it a priority to give each pet my full attention, follow their usual routine, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection while in my care. Water, treats, exercise and comfort are always provided. The most important thing is that your baby is happy and attended to. Extra potty time, outdoor sniffs, strolls and adventures if they’re interested, lots of pets, cuddles and attention ☺️

About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I’m a proud mom to a 20-year-old cat and an aunt to many other beloved pets. I love going on long walks, so let me know if your pet would enjoy coming along! I work from home and make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I like to take long walks in the evenings and would love some company! I have a 20 year old kitten named Wilbur who is the sweetest. I understand that pets are more than just pets, they’re part of the family, and deserve to be treated as a family member. I also understand the importance of being reassured your baby is loved and well taken care of in your absence and will follow all provided instructions and guidance.

Jake helped us with mid-day visits for our dog while we were away. He made sure she got outside for playtime (even in the rain), had fresh water afterward, and was settled back in before leaving. He was very friendly and responsive, and our cat enjoyed a little attention from him too, which was appreciated! We were grateful to have Jake's kind care this past week.

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with dogs and my genuine passion for caring for them. I grew up with my beloved Maltese, who was a part of my life for many years and truly shaped my love for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends, family members, coworkers, and even my pastor—building a reputation as the reliable, loving go-to pet sitter in my community. As a teacher, I bring patience, structure, and lots of heart to everything I do—including pet care. I treat every dog like one of my students: with kindness, respect, and a deep commitment to their well-being. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior dog, I adapt to their needs, provide consistent care, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As I’m currently off for summer break, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available to welcome dogs into my home or provide in-home care at your place through September. I’m happy to give your pets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of how I care for every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and educator, I understand how important it is to create a secure, loving environment—whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. I live near a beautiful local reservoir with a safe walking path that I’ve used with many dogs over the years. I’m very familiar with the area and always remain alert and aware during walks to ensure your pet’s safety. I would never put your beloved pet, another animal, or anyone else in a risky situation. Their well-being comes first—always. As a teacher, safety is second nature to me. I bring that same responsibility and care into my pet-sitting—balancing structure and protection with plenty of fun, love, and tail wags along the way!

Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

About: As a professional dog groomer with over 25 years of experience, my love for dogs runs deep. My new grooming salon, Punky’s Pawlor, opened in June 2024 in Annandale, NJ! I have a profound understanding of dog’s behavior and personalities, which allows me to provide personalized care to every dog that comes my way. In addition to dogs, I have cared for a variety of other animals including horses, cats, birds, and other small pets for over 40 years. I take great pride in my work as a dog groomer, and have become an expert in making dogs look and feel their best. I understand that each dog is unique, and requires different techniques and approaches to achieve the desired result. With my knowledge of dog behavior, body language and personalities, I am able to tailor my approach to ensure that every dog is comfortable and happy. I'm also an experienced photographer and artist so I'll love being sure that you get plenty of adorable shots of your perfect pooch. Beyond grooming, I am well-versed in all aspects of animal care, and take great concern to provide exceptional care to every animal under my responsibility. My love for animals is evident in everything I do, and I am committed to ensuring that every animal in my care is kept healthy, happy, and safe. It seems my care of animals doesn't ever stop. I currently have 5 of my own rescues but I find time to be sure yours get the attention they need too! I'm available most every day and most weekends as long as I'm not booked with another client! As a professional pet care provider, I understand the importance of providing personalized care to every furry family member. When caring for a fur-child in its owner's home, I take the time to understand their routines, habits, and preferences to ensure that they feel comfortable and happy in their familiar surroundings. I prioritize the fur-kid’s safety and well-being, making sure that their food, water, and exercise needs are met on a regular schedule. I also provide plenty of attention and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. In addition to basic care, I am also experienced in administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and addressing any issues that may arise during my time with your beloved pet. I treat every fur-child in my care with the same level of love and attention that I would give to my own, and strive to make their time without their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Have multiple pets and need drop in visits? Ask me about special rates for multiple pets! I’d love to help you out!

About: I am a registered nurse by trade but enjoy caring for a various assortment of animals (dogs, cats, snakes/reptiles, birds, fish). Before I became a nurse I was a dog grooming assistant (so if your special pup needs a bath or brushing I can help). I have experience dealing with an assortment of dog personalities and age ranges. Medication administration is also no issue (having prior experience with pills, drops and ointments). I work remotely Monday to Friday and am able to stay or drop in throughout the day given proper notice of the pet’s needs. I am fully capable of providing walks and playtime based on your pet’s requirements as well as accommodate special care such as medication, alternate relieving strategies (pee pads, diapers etc).

About: Im 30 years old, the youngest of three boys. I am a former athlete and current student at RVCC studying dietetics. Growing up we had two golden retrievers( both females so my mom wasn’t alone in that regard). With our first dog Shannon me and my brothers all shared the responsibility of taking care of. After Shannon had passed we felt that there was a void in the family that needed to be filled. That’s when kiely our second golden joined the family. Now at this time both my brothers were out of the house. The responsibilities of taking care of kiely fell upon me and I was more than happy to uphold them. I know of many parks and trails around this area that are perfect for dogs as well. I am currently working for my mother as an assistant of sorts in her dietetics practice. The hours are flexible so I'll be there for whatever you or your furry friend need. I am easygoing and adaptable. Whatever specifications you layout and accommodations you require, I will oblige. Dogs are a part of the family as thus should be treated so. Whether old or young, sick or healthy, just as you would, I will passionately care for your dog.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and knew I always wanted to work with them. I’ve always cared for the pets I had growing up which included dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I then started watching friends and family members dogs and cats when they were away. One of my first jobs was at a boarding facility where I cared for and walked dogs! I have a flexible schedule due to the fact that I am home everyday caring for my 2 year old son! I would love to bring him along for walks and drop ins! My dog gets walked everyday followed by a relaxing rest stop by the river in our backyard! We love to be outdoors as much as possible!

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Califon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Califon on Rover is $12.84 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 5,271 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Califon. 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 Califon. 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 Califon.

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 Califon. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
