“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”
“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: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!
About: Hello! I have taken care of many different types of animals, all shapes and sizes ever since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and fish! Whether it’s just one fur baby, or even up to six at a time, I can do it! I love animals and have a cat and four fish of my own—I have had a few dogs in the past as well! I would love to get to know your pets and take care of them if you need help! :) I am typically free most week days and weekends anytime to walk, feed, or play with pets. Mondays and Wednesdays I am more busy in the morning time due to classes, however I can still do drop-ins before and after on those days as well! For my current pets I keep my fish in a 50 gallon tank since they are smaller, but love the space. For my cat, Squash, she stays in my main unit with me free to roam around and cuddle with me whenever she likes. I do not offer boarding services since my complex only allows a certain amount of pets at a time.
About: I have owned animals my entire life and currently care for two dogs and a cat. I am experienced in providing care for both puppies and senior pets, including administering medicine, managing walks, and organizing play dates and outings. My passion for animals drives my commitment to ensuring their well-being, happiness and making sure their parents can rest easy when they are away. I have owned animals of all kinds all my life.

About: Bringing happiness to all animals is something that is very important to me because of the love they constantly give us. With multiple years of experience, I am able to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Keeping your pets healthy and happy is the most important thing to me. I focus on providing all pets with someone who makes them feel safe and loved while their family is not with them. At the moment I am in between jobs after working for Clemson University for 4 years.

I tend to follow any instructions given to take proper care of your pets. In my own home I have a roommate who love animals just as much as me so there will be plenty of pets!

About: I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I’m very familiar with giving dogs the attention, patience, and care they need. My pets require lots of attention, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping them comfortable and happy. I also regularly cared for three dogs each week for several months for a family from my church. That experience gave me even more confidence caring for multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the individual attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s needs! I currently work a part-time job, but I’m able to request time off in advance when needed.

With enough notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and will always keep a close eye on your pets, whether we’re inside, outside, or on a walk.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Central
Morgan was wonderful! She came by ahead of time to meet my dog and go over where everything was located and what to do. Then she was punctual and kept in contact with me to make sure I was up to date and knew how my baby was doing. I will definitely be booking again!
Lauren M. had great communication with me and excellent rapport with our energetic 2+ year old Doodles. She gave them a great fun and safe walk around the neighborhood, being mindful of the other dogs in our neighborhood. Our dogs are SO VERY excited to see her and I know it is because they are loved on and focused on during their playtime and walks together! We can’t wait to have her dog walk, check in or dog sit for us again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Central on Rover is $19.98 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 1,445 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 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 Central.

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 Central. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
