About: My family always had dogs growing up, including heelers, chihuahuas and Shi tzu’s! I now have 2 of my own, a 1 year old pitty mix named Charlie and a 5 month old golden named Marley. I make my own schedule so I have plenty of time for all pet related task! I often dog sit and do drop in visits for family and friends. I’m currently working part time, making my own schedule so I have lots of free time. Most of my day revolves around caring for my own dogs. They’re up early for breakfast, from there they enjoy walks and playing in the dog park. My 1 year old pitty mix Charlie LOVES naps after playing, so we do have a good bit of down time throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced in yard, my apartment complex offers a 24/7 dog park that my dogs enjoy. I also have a large crate if that’s something that you would like for your pet. My girls enjoy a day filled with treats, walks, toys and play time.

“Amber is so sweet and she was so loving to my dog. She was also willing to walk my friend’s dog as I unexpectedly had her for the weekend. With that, I appreciate Amber’s flexibility and understanding. I would most definitely have her as a dog walker again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of my own ever since I was a kid. I love animals and having any excuse to bond with them. I currently have a dachshund named Tucker who is 7 years old and I have a lot of experience working with other people’s pets as a sitter. I am currently available full time for pet care and I am looking for new clients. Im excited to take care of your fur babies and to make your pet feel safe, content and happy! I do not offer pet care in my own hone. I provide care for pets at client homes only. I believe pets should be surrounded in an environment they’re used to and familiar with.

About: Whether it’s a short walk, a day together, or somewhere in between, I’m excited to give your pup all of my love :) As someone who uses Rover for my dogs too, I understand how important it is to have a trusted person you can call in for support. I am ready to be that person for you! I can care for all kinds of dogs—big or small, shy or playful, those who need some extra assistance, and high energy pups that might enjoy a run! I’m a PhD student currently writing my dissertation. My schedule could literally not get more flexible. I am open to caring for your pup at any time. I want to follow your dog’s normal routine. I’ll ask for their food, play, and outside schedule so I can keep things consistent. I’m a defensive dog walker (like defensive driving, but walking) and always have your dog’s safety and calm at the forefront.

About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.

About: I've spent the past 8 years caring for my own Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherd dog, Atlas, so I'm very familiar with dogs that have lots of energy and need plenty of exercise and attention! I've also helped care for friends' dogs over the years, including walking a friend's dog four days a week for several months. My experience with dog sitting actually goes back to my teenage years! I've always loved dogs and really enjoy getting to know their different personalities. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or just spending time together, I want to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can count on, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands while you're away! I recently went back to school and am in the middle of a career transition, which has given me some extra flexibility in my schedule that I’d love to use for dog walking and help with drop-by visits. I'm happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your dog! When caring for pets in someone else's home, I'm always mindful and respectful of my surroundings. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I make it a priority to follow any instructions or routines. I also do my best to keep your pet's living areas clean, safe, and comfortable, and will always treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Colon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Colon is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 November 2026, there are 2,863 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Colon. 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 Colon. 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 Colon 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 Colon. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
