About: Kevin and I both work full-time remote and we chose pet hosting as a shared passion. We're here because we genuinely care about the dogs we bring into our home. We're a real team. Kevin's strength is play and engagement; he'll scratch behind ears for hours and keep your dog active. I handle structured walks, training cues, and the quiet reassurance a nervous dog needs at the end of the day. We split meal prep and medical care—if your dog needs medication, we're both tracking it. Two sets of eyes mean nothing gets missed. I've worked with dogs since I was 10. Kevin grew up with dogs. We've cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament—energetic puppies, senior dogs who need patience, dogs with behavioral complexity. We know what works because we've done this for a long time and we're still doing it because we love it. When your dog is with us, you can trust that we're both present, both accountable, and both committed to their safety and wellbeing. Kevin and I both work full-time remote from home. We chose pet hosting as a shared passion project—it's important to both of us. We have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, which means your dog gets consistent attention from two people with different strengths: Kevin excels at play and engagement; I handle structured walks, training cues, and downtime reassurance. Our own dogs, Bom and Dolly, are part of our household, and visiting dogs are too. We're not a facility—we're a home where your dog becomes part of what we actually do. Bom is our 9-year-old galgo and a back-of-the-pack kind of dog. She's timid with new people and gentle with new dogs until she feels comfortable. Then she wants to play, from running shoulder to shoulder to being chased around the yard and on the trails. Indoors, she's an absolute couch puddle and a snack-aholic. Dolly joined us in October 2026. She's a Rhodesian ridgeback puppy, born July 2026, who loves chew toys and pouncing around on her big paws. Bom is her teacher. Dolly is eager to play with her, listens when Bom corrects her, and Bom is the role model we're training her toward. While Dolly learns the house, a puppy gate keeps her in whichever section we're in, so visiting dogs get their own space and our full attention. When your dog arrives, we greet you together on the porch or driveway. We want to know your dog and you. Once you leave, we take them on a walk around the property for orientation and to settle. We show them the water bowl and toy basket, and if they've brought their own bed or blanket, we give them their own space for meals and rest. Throughout the day, Kevin and I both watch for cues. If your dog needs outside, we go. Hourly, or more. We split meal prep and medications—nothing is missed, nothing is guessed on. Kevin and I work as a team; he's as hands-on with playtime, training, and logistics as I am.
“Kasey was great! She was understanding about my dogs anxiety and reactivity. She was also super understanding when I had a family emergency and had to cancel in the middle of the booking. Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out to her again the next time I someone to take care of my dog :)”
“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cooperstown is $39 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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 your Cooperstown. 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 Cooperstown 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 Cooperstown. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
