Sara is wonderful! I’m so grateful for her. She’s very reliable and trustworthy and truly loves what she does. This is very obvious from the pictures and videos she shares on walks and/or dog sitting! I’d recommend her to anyone. She also is available often when I need her at the last minute. She’s very kind.

About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

I was very hesitant to use rover. I did not like the idea of random people just coming into my home. Then we found Nicholas and I am so happy we used rover. He has helped me out so many times and my 3 year old golden doodle loves him. I highly recommend using Nicholas if you’re looking for an amazing person to care for your dog.

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

About: As a part-time nurse, I spend my days caring for people in a fast-paced environment, so on my days off I love slowing things down by caring for dogs instead. Pet care gives me a chance to unwind while still helping others and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I have 5+ years of experience with dog walking, boarding, and in-home sitting, with multiple references available. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities, from tiny Frenchies to 100-pound bullies, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re away. I work 3 days a week, and have full availability during my 4 days off! I take any and all requests, from weeks in advance to day of! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care in both my home and clients’ homes while keeping pets on their normal routines as much as possible. I have a clean driving and criminal record, and I live in a beautiful, safe community that’s perfect for long leashed walks or quick potty breaks. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or a calm environment, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hello! My name is Lily and I’ve been working with animals for a little over 3 years. Through past experience, I’ve gained knowledge about dog training, body language, play behavior and specific breed behaviors. I love working with dogs and I enjoy being able to make them feel comfortable and happy! I’m currently a college student and working part time but I still have lots of free time dedicated to taking care of your beautiful pets. As for taking care of my own dog, I prioritize enrichment activities and spending time outside. We love to go on hikes and spend time at the beach. I like to bring these same principles into my clients homes as well, therefore, making sure your dog gets enough physical and mental activity is a top priority.

About: Hi, I'm Ashlee! 🐾 Thank you for stopping by my profile! I know choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision because they're so much more than "just a dog", they're family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I offer: 🐶 Dog boarding 🏡 House sitting 🚶 Dog walking 🦴 Drop-in visits Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I share my home with my Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley, who has taught me just how unique every dog can be. Caring for him has shown me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the little things that help a dog feel safe and at home. I'm also comfortable with: 💊 Administering oral medications 🐾 Caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors ❤️ Providing individualized care based on your pet's routine and needs Communication is one of my top priorities. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your booking, along with prompt responses if you ever want to check in. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet is staying overnight, going for a walk, or just needs a drop-in visit while you're at work, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want someone to give Finnley. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet you both 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have my own Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley! My schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, playtime, enrichment, and making sure he gets plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for your pet, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing regular potty breaks, going on walks, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for and always make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priority. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle handling to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. I also know how important communication is, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, along with prompt responses if you have any questions or would like to check in. Whenever possible, I like to schedule a complimentary meet and greet before a first booking. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and to feel completely confident that they were cared for like family.

Dina was very responsive upon our initial booking. She asked great questions and did an initial assessment before accepting the assignment. We appreciated her taking the time to get to know our fur babies and her commitment to their care. She quickly adapted to our one dog's behavior who didn't want to walk long. So she knew to take him back early. She is very personable and caring to make both our fur babies at ease. Thank you!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cliffwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Cliffwood on Rover is $22.2 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 25,331 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cliffwood. 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 Cliffwood. 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 Cliffwood.

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 Cliffwood. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
