“Paul helped me out a lot in a pinch! It was a last minute booking, I was from out of town, and my family made dinner reservations. Paul was flexible with the times and went out of his way to accommodate our situation.”


About: I’ve been raised around dogs since birth. I have free time a few times a week. I’m looking forward to help you care for your pups. Looking to take up some of my spare time and help you with your pets. I have availability during the day several days a week. I have experience taking care of pets my entire life. I can easily meet your pets needs. I look forward to meeting different breeds and making you less stressed.
About: Hey there! I am a Professional Certified Dog Trainer (Knowledge Assessment) specializing in positive reinforcement methods. I have experience with a variety of behaviors and breeds through previous dog walking, fostering, shelter dog training, and private dog training. My own rescue pittie came with very intense reactivity which we were able to work on extensively, so I’m more than happy to extend my services to pets with potentially difficult behavior needs. I intend to treat each pet as though they were my own and ensure they are safe and that we have a blast together! Can’t wait to meet your pup and please reach out with any questions! I am currently a full-time remote, freelance worker . This allows me to offer flexible scheduling and dedicated, quality, focused time with your pets . I have access to a yard that is not fenced in, but provides quick and convenient leashed potty breaks and lots of nature watching either on the deck or roaming supervised on a long leash in the grass. I constantly have my head on a swivel due to my training so I am ready for any unexpected events. I am skilled with crate and other preventative/maintenance method training. Flexible to meet whatever special needs your pet has while in my care.
About: As of recent, I no longer have any pets of my own full-time and will enjoy getting to spend time with yours! I have had pets almost all of my life, and always more than one at a time. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, small indoor pets, and birds. I also provide care for chickens, and feeding care for horses, goats, and sheep. For the past 8 years I have done overnight, extended stay pet sitting, drop in care, and boarding in my home for dogs or small animals who come with their home (for example guinea pigs). I can also provide transportation and care for animals attending special occasions or wanted as a part of photos (for example at a wedding). I have experience giving both oral and injected medications to dogs and cats. I work full time 8:30 - 4:30 but do work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can provide care before and after work as well as during the days when I work from home. I am also free most weekends. Because all animals are different, my first priority is to provide the type of care and services specific to their individual needs. I do have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. I love to go on walks / hikes with dogs.
About: I've had dogs all of my life! From puppies to seniors, I provide the love, affection and care your dog will need while you're gone! I am a live in caretaker for my parents. My schedule is SUPER flexible! I am able to leave periodically throughout the day or stay overnight at your house any day of the week! I am happy to follow the regular routine you have for your pet. Walks, feeding, cleaning up and a lot of extra love! Also, happy to grab mail, water plants and take care of garbage pick up.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of living with animals my whole life! I’ve grown up with everything from giant dogs to my tiny chihuahuas! I love spending time with dogs, cats, pocket pets, you name it! I am also familiar with giving pets medications. I start my day caring for my pets and end it that way as well! Currently my work schedule allows for some flexibility when stopping by to provide care for your pets as well! I enjoy taking my own dogs to near by parks where we walk on leash! I anticipate being able to take your fur babies on walks in the surrounding areas as well! In our home our pets are treated like royalty. Everything I do is for them and their happiness! I hope to meet your fur babies too

About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
About: I grew up with cats all my life and have spent time taking care of them while dog sitting dogs of all ages for my neighbors. I have done walks, feeding, emptying litter boxes, given medications, and taking them to appointments! I’m currently applying to residency programs and have more time on my hands to spend taking care of animals! This allows me flexibility to take care of pets most days of the week where I don’t have an interview. My girlfriend and I do not currently have a pet at home, unfortunately. While caring for others’ pets, I enjoy ensuring that they don’t become lonely while their people are gone!
About: I’ve had the privilege to house sit, dog walk, and LOVE 💙, my friends and clients fur babies. I make sure all of their needs are taken care of. I’m currently working 4 AM to 1230 Monday through Thursday and Saturday, but as of April 16, I’ve decided the love and passion I have for caring for your babies excite me a lot more. I will be more available to accompany your needs while you’re away for work or on a vacation with your family, yet I have had many clients& their babies have no issues when I housesit/dog walk. I treat animals with love, care, and respect as if they were my own. I will follow your directions on how your fur baby likes to be cared for.
About: My parents and I have had a dogs for the past 12 years. I was the one responsible for taking the dog on walks and letting my dog out to go potty. Recently we had to put our dog molly down because she had cancer which was really sad for me. I honestly love dogs so much and animals in general, and I can honestly say every dog I’ve ever met has loved me so I’m positive your dog will too :) I heard about rover and I’m happy because I love dogs so much and helping out people in need with their pets so it makes me happy. When I’m with a dog at home or at someone’s home I always lay down with them and scratch them and make them feel loved.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Colgate is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $17 per walk.

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 Colgate. 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 Colgate 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 Colgate. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
