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.

Amanda did a nice job. She came by the day before to meet Blue, get the key, and see where the food was. She provided pictures and reported on Blue's eating and such. Blue was happy and mellow when I arrived home.

About: I've always grown up around cats and dogs, but when I moved to Minnesota I don't get to be around pets as often, so I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your dog. I am very active and enjoy jogging as well. I work full time as a Real Estate Agent but try to keep my schedule flexible. My aunt is a vet so I would often go into her clinic and visit the animals there, I would also take my family member's dogs for walks all the time. Animals bring joy to my life and I know that having a dog in the city can be difficult, that's why I am here to help as much as I can to take your dog for a walk! I work from home so I can make just about anytime work before 6pm that is! Let me work around your s ch exile to make sure your pet gets the care it needs! Every pet is different, and I feel that matching their energy is very important. First I get their trust and show that I am a safe and kind person before the fun begins!

About: I have 6 years of pet care experience and worked as a kennel technician for 4 years, where I cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My daily responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and providing walks, playtimes, and enrichment. Working in a professional kennel setting taught me how to safely handle multiple pets at once, keep pets comfortable in new environments, and tailor care to each pet's individual needs. As a junior biology major at Clemson with a goal of working in the healthcare field, I am especially attentive to safety and routines. I am very organized and super accommodating, and I will truly treat each pet like my very own! I am currently a student at Clemson with a part-time job, but I truly value schedule and routine. With my past experience in pet sitting and working as a kennel technician, I am very used to coordinating feeding times, walks, and medication times with my own schedule. I always prioritize the care of my pets, and make sure they receive the necessary attention, updates, and care while your away. I am happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and visits during the weekdays around my class schedule, and can provide extended time on weekends! In your home, I will be sure to follow instructions closely for necessary feeding, medication, walks, and routines. I am highly detail-oriented, and attentive to keeping areas clean and organized. I will be sure to respect your space, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you're away!

About: Through my work with Battle Buddies, a nonprofit that raises and places service dogs for veterans, I gained valuable experience being around dogs regularly and observing the care, structure, and attention they require. In addition, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends, family, and private clients through pet sitting and drop-in visits. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing pets’ personalities and include complimentary photos during our time together! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I plan my day to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and keep the home clean and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Allison! I am a junior college student at Clemson University and I plan to graduate in the spring of ‘27. I have watched furry friends since I was 15 (I’m now 21)! I have visited homes and boarded at my home before as well. What sets me apart from other sitters is the love your dog will receive from me! Also, for dogs, I offer long walks around Clemson campus and my townhome neighborhood where I live! I do have a housemate who has a 1 year old gold doodle (who is comfortable with cats) and there could be lots of playtime between them if that’s interesting to you! My goal is to love and nourish your baby while you cannot! I have been raised around cats, dogs, turtles, horses, and even birds my whole life! Every animal will be loved by me! Can’t wait to watch your furry friend! As mentioned, I am a college student so I will leave around 8:30am every morning and arrive home around 11am every day. When I arrive home I plan to spend the most time with your baby as possible! I do live in a home with another pet and she is loving and gentle with new creatures. I plan to keep the animals separate majority of the time unless advised otherwise. If I do come to your home, I plan to keep the same routine for your pet as you request!

About: I have two dogs and one cat at home currently. I enjoy spending time playing and cuddling with my animals every chance I can get. I work part-time, so I am looking for something else to keep me busy this summer. I can not work Friday nights. I can check on them early in the morning or late at night. I can only do all day certain days of the week. I can help walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, or even just spending time with them cuddling on the couch if they are feeling like a lazy day.

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.

I am a college softball player with a flexible schedule who can work around any time issues with great communication. Weekends are also open for me. I have a lot of space in my house and outdoor space for walks and to play with the dogs to have fun and relax.

About: I have cared for mostly dogs since I was around 8 years old and my family got my dog. I have been relied on by family, neighbors, and others in my community at home to take care of their pets and give them all they need for as long as I can remember! I am currently enrolled in college, so I do have classes every weekday, but I would love to help with your pets whenever I am not in class! Currently, I live in a dorm, so I do not have any pets and I would not be able to keep your fur babies with me; however, I will love and care for them in your home!

About: Hello, My name is Tracey and I have grown up with pets my whole life. We had cats in my house as early as I can remember and I have always had a soft spot for them. When I was young I actually used to be a bit afraid of dogs until my two siblings begged and begged my mom to her wits end. She told me to pluck up and a few days later we came home with a sweet old black Pomeranian. Basil and I bonded like no other. From then I always helped pet care for my own family and for our neighbors. As well, one my siblings forayed into less common pet ownership, where I got to learn the basics of care for Guinea pigs, rats, lizards (hers had scoliosis), and even small snakes! Currently, I have one pet of my own - a sweet little three-legged cat who can charm his way into anyone’s heart. I have a lot of love to give for animals and want to help care for your pet like I hope someone would care for mine while I am gone! I am available any time of the day, any day of the week to help take care of your precious furry family! I have car for reliable transportation and can drive to any location for the job opportunity open. Currently I have an indoor cat and he does not go outside but has a litter box and more than enough toys to make him happy. With dogs I make sure that they are harness or on a lead before we go outside since I do not have a closed in front yard. If the pet I am sitting lives in a space with a fenced in yard I would let them out at the owners permission and make sure they were supervised. I also make sure not to let pets eat human food as many things are harmful and/or then could have allergies.

About: Before I moved to College of Charleston I pet sat around my neighborhood for around 2 years. I also have 4 dogs at home including a foster dog currently and would love to meet y'all's furry friends because I don’t have an animal in my dorm currently! I can walk your doggies pretty much any time except for Wednesday's and Sunday's! typically on weekdays it’s after 12pm, and on Saturdays it’s all day! I take care of my animals with love. sticking to their schedule while involving the upmost playfulness and kindness. I will clean up after them, and like i would with my own dogs and cats put their safety and health first. If there was ever something to happen, immediately calling their owner and sticking by their 4 legged side!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for Dog Walking - Central

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Central on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,460 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.

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 Central. On Rover:

  • 94% 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.
