About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18. I also helped my grandparents deliver , and give immunizations to new dog litters. I also had to help train them prior to them being sent to their new homes. I have dog sit seniors dogs and puppies. I have a huge trail behind my house for some outdoor play and walking and a downstairs balcony in my townhome as well. I own 3 cats as well! Have experience with cat medication , and care . I’m currently available weekend and holidays! I am an Animal Vivarium Manager and can work pet care mostly during those times. However if a week day is needed I can definitely fit that in and work my schedule around it :) I have a fenced patio for playing and a huge hiking trail behind my house with two parks. My current cars are indoor cars but I also let them play on the balcony from time to time for fresh air and outside play.

About: Hi, my name is Jasmin. I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud owner of 2 dogs, whom I’ve raised since they were puppies. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12 years old, with experience caring for all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also been a trusted sitter for my relatives' and friends' pets whenever they needed help. In addition, I’m happy to care for cats, fish, and birds as well. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel loved and safe while you’re away. That’s why I’m committed to providing the highest level of care, ensuring you can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’d love the opportunity to provide your pets with the attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work from home as an E-commerce Operations specialist, which allows me the flexibility to provide personalized care for your pets. My daily routine includes plenty of time to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve, whether it's playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a safe and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for them to relax and explore. I ensure that any pet I care for has a consistent routine, with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. When sitting in a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining a comfortable and secure environment for their pets. I follow any specific instructions for feeding, medication, and activities to ensure they feel at ease. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Cameron. I’m a lifelong dog owner with a very flexible schedule this summer, and I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from large breeds like Rottweilers and Akitas to small ones like Chihuahuas and Mini Aussies. My own dog is a 12-year-old rescue Golden Retriever mix that I’ve had for a decade. Through caring for her, I've gotten very comfortable with senior dog care, administering oral medication, and adjusting to slower-paced routines. I know every dog is different. Some need a good long walk to burn off energy, while others just want a quiet companion and a slow walk around the block. I’m patient and calm, which tends to work really well with dogs that are a bit timid or slow to warm up to new people, especially men. As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is very open and flexible. I have full availability throughout the day, evenings, and weekends between 11am and 10pm, allowing me to provide consistent care and companionship when your dog needs it most. I live in Union City and have my own reliable transportation, so I can easily travel to your home anywhere in the area. Because I am not tied to a typical 9-to-5 office routine, I can offer your pet more than just a quick check-in—I am available for extended walks, midday play sessions, or simply staying present to keep a senior dog or anxious pup company (~30 minutes, if needed). Whether you need a regular weekday routine or last-minute weekend help, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my day. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. As a longtime rescue owner and university professional, I treat every pet with the same vigilance and care I give my own. In Your Home & On Walks: I am a respectful guest and a focused handler. I provide my own reliable transportation and come prepared with spare leashes and waste bags. During walks, I am hyper-aware of surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. In My Home: My environment is fully pet-proofed and secure, featuring a fenced-in yard with no environmental risks. Because of my flexible summer schedule, your dog will enjoy constant supervision and a calm, climate-controlled space to relax. Trust & Communication: I strictly follow all care instructions—from meal timings to medication—and provide regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

About: I have always grown up around animals my entire life. We have trained our dogs from puppies and up and litter trained our cats, etc. I love all dogs and cats, i currently have my first cat that is mine and not as a family pet and I love him so much! I love to spoil him with lots of attention. However, I love dogs just as much and love to burn energy with them and spoil them with attention as well! For dogs I am a student athelete in college so I love to keep them active and entertained! I'm currently a student athlete at Cal State East Bay, I typically have practice in the morning around 9-12, and after that I will be home to give attention and give potty breaks until I go to class for about an hour and then come back and spend the rest of the day with your animal! I can take them for walks or have play time for both cats and dogs I can comply with any request to keep your fur baby safe! I can let them be unleashed in a fenced area and just keep an eye on them, Or I can keep them on the leash and walk around with them as they explore! I can take them for runs and walks play fetch with them, and pet them until they fall asleep! I can easily adapt to any special routine!

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Over the years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends and family, gaining experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I look forward to giving your dog the same care, attention, and love I give my own! I spend most of my weekends at home with my own dog, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I love spending my weekends taking him on walks, playing with him, and working on training. He also loves playing with other dogs, so I think he’d be excited to have a new friend around! I’d be happy to welcome another pet into our routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I have a fenced front and back yard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air, as well as a doggy door for easy access. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves having other dogs around, so your pup can have a companion during their stay! I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while keeping them comfortable in their routine.

About: I have two dogs of my own age 7 and 12 whom I have been taking care of their whole lives as well as a third now. We have also lived with other dogs and I have raised kittens for a short time. I've done tons of dog walking and have had my dogs in training and learned through this process. I've done lots of vet visits and seen my pets through surgeries and healing. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and will give them the utmost care and attention. I work from home managing rental properties, setting up spiritual retreats and doing accounting for my father's business so I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! I can handle all temperaments of dog and cats with love and care. I am happy to walk them for long or short durations, on simple paths and trails or challenging hikes if the owner prefers. At your home I am happy to feed them, play with toys, pet them and provide whatever they need!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Carpenter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carpenter is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 14,085 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carpenter. 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 Carpenter. 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 Carpenter 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 Carpenter. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
