“Madison was great! She was able to accommodate a same-day request, which I really appreciated. She took Annika on an adventure to the park, and Annika came home completely pooped. It was clear she had a great time. I would definitely book with Madison again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love! I have experience dog-sitting for families, fostering dogs through a local humane society, and working with animals at a veterinary clinic that cares for both small and large animals. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication as directed, or simply some extra company, I’m happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 As a college student, I have a busy schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I balance school, work, and my other responsibilities while staying organized and dependable. I plan my schedule ahead of time to ensure I can give each pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am happy to discuss scheduling in advance to find a routine that works best for both you and your pets. My goal is to provide reliable care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 In my own home, I make sure pets have a consistent routine, fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean, comfortable environment. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions carefully and stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special care they may need. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! Expect lots of photos and updates while you are away!!

About: I’m retired and using my spare time to look after fur babies of all shapes and sizes. I love pets and have years of experience in animal training too! If you’re looking for full time, comprehensive care, this is it. 😊 As a retired veteran, this is my main source of income and I’m very dedicated to it. I am involved in pet care every day because I have a dog and cat of my own and I love them like family. Taking care of animals puts me at ease and helping others is my mission in life, so I’m very devoted to doing this job well. My complex is gated and I have created a special space in my home for guest pets. I have LOTS of toys and training tools available so the fun never stops! I follow instructions to the letter and do my absolute best to go above and beyond in all that I do. Animals are such a beautiful blessing on this Earth and I really treasure every opportunity to interact with them. It just makes me happy!

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of providing not only basic care, but also love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime, grooming, and recognizing a dog’s individual needs, I am dedicated to treating every dog as if they were my own. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals, ensuring they receive the highest level of care while you’re away. I work part-time at a pool, so I have a flexible schedule and extra time throughout the week. I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for my own, so I would love the chance to spend more time with them. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while also keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to make sure each pet is happy, well cared for, and feels at ease while their owner is away. When I had an older dog, giving medication was always needed, so if you have an older dog and need to know that they will be in good hands. I definitely will be the girl for the job!

About: Over the course of my life I’ve owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and multiple different types of reptiles. Currently my family has two dogs, a cat, and a bearded dragon that I care for. Right now I work at a dog boarding facility and in the past have worked at a vet clinic. I am currently going to Clemson University and studying Animal Sciences to hopefully eventually be able to go into their vet program. I’m currently in school and working part-time, so my schedule is a little busier than it normally is. But my job is very flexible and I love to help people out by helping them take care of their pets whenever I have time. I’m always done with work by 5 or 6 and my class schedule isn’t super heavy right now so I can be free most mornings. When I'm caring for pets, whether it's house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I always focus on their comfort and routine. For house sitting, I live in your home, making sure your pets are fed, walked, and given their meds, and your home stays just as you left it, if not better. For drop-in visits, I stop by your home to feed, play with, and maybe walk your pets. For dog walks, I give your dog a fun and safe walk, making sure they get the exercise they need. I always follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and your home well-maintained. With my own dogs I have experience giving them meds, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and training them to do tricks.

About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Throughout my life, I had lived with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, snakes and even a pet skunk. I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to assist and care for injured and rehabilitated raptors, spent several years as a foster mom for orphaned bats, and assisted in researching black bears. I currently live with three sweetie pie pups, a 9 and 6 year old golden retrievers, Deal and Bear and a 7 year old mixed rescue named Carly. I am available to come to your home and walk, run, feed, water, cuddle, and play with your animal(s). Your pets will love me and I will love them back. I am currently working from my home, so I have plenty of availability for whatever and whenever you need someone to help out with your home and pets. I will keep a watchful eye out for your animals and send frequent photos and updates to you while your babies are under my care.

About: I have approached every single dog owner I have ever seen in order to ask them to pet their dog. My friends and family have always called me a dog whisperer because I’m usually able to even pet the shyest of dogs. I am looking to work part time. I am about to go back to college, but I am free every day except Sunday mornings (church) and Monday night (small groups). I have two Australian shepherds whom I have helped to train. I take them on at least one walk a day and we have a fenced in yard which they can go out into multiple times a day. I help to feed them and take care of them on a daily basis.

About: I love dogs more than anything and took care of my childhood dog for more than 11 years. I also have experience with dog walking. I recognize the love and attention dogs need and am more than happy to provide that. I am a college student with no outside responsibilities so my schedule is fairly free and flexible. I’m excited to help out whenever you need. When I’m around dogs I give them all my attention and love. Seeing them happy makes me happy and I’m thorough with taking care of them. I keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions given carefully. I will also send updates and treat your pet like family.

About: I have been taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life. I grew up with all sorts of animals in the home. I also took care of my neighbors’ pets. I love playing with dogs, cats, fish, etc. Your pet will be in great hands, I always make sure that all my furry friends are happy and comfortable with me. I will constantly keep in touch with the owners to make sure they do not stress about their pet while they’re away. I also am CPR certified and First Aid certified, if an emergency was to ever occur. Thank you for checking out my profile, I hope to play with your pets soon! I am currently a student at Pfeiffer University, and have long breaks between my classes, and get done with all my classes very early, so I am able to be by your pooch’s side pretty much whenever you need me to be. I have two basset hounds at home, and I love to give them cuddles, and go on walks, get them new treats and toys. I love to just make most of my time all about the pets!

About: I have three rescue dogs, including a senior dog and a puppy. I’m very used to caring for anxious dogs. For kitty owners, I’ve had family cats I cared for up until I was 16! I’m a recent college grad taking time at home with my parents & doggies while job searching! I currently work a retail job, and am unavailable on select days. However, I may still be able to do a check-in/walk depending on the time— so just ask! I can crate dogs as needed, follow any mealtime and medication procedures and will prioritize playtime with your animals! Each of my three pets are vastly different and each have their own schedules and procedures. Just let me know what works best for your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Central is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 1,398 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Central. 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 Central. 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 , 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 Central 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Central. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
