About: I have raised multiple animals of my own, including dogs and cats, and have previous experience caring for other's pets (overnight stays, walking, etc).

I have the most experience with medium-large breeds of dogs as that's what my family has owned, but I have no preferences for or against any breeds. I have a genuine passion for the wellbeing of all animals and I love every dog I meet, including low to high energy, small to large, puppy to senior, and everything in between. I currently have a full-time job Monday-Friday from early morning to early afternoon but I am available for afternoon visits and overnights if your animals are okay with being alone during the day! I have a deep understanding of different dog temperaments and behaviors that allows me to care for each of their individual needs. I have experience from newborn puppies to senior dogs that need a bit more care and I’m willing to adapt to their needs.

About: Throughout high school and college, I often helped out friends and neighbors by dog sitting when they couldn't take their pets on trips. I’m a huge dog lover, and I really adore all kinds of pets. Over the years, I've earned the complete trust of my friends and neighbors when it comes to looking after their pets and homes.

I'm a huge animal lover, and I miss them every day now that they are living with my older sister.
“Alyssa is great! She responded quickly, showed up on time and was very professional. Our pup was tired out after his brisk 30 minute walk. What great service! Will definitely rebook with Alyssa.”

About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.

As of July 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cortez. 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 Cortez. 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 Cortez.

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.

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.
