Can't explain how grateful I am. Just words can't explain. My dog loved her and she treated her amazingly. Absolutely no complaints or worries about my dog being not taken care of. She takes care of the pup and is involed with the pup

SweetPea is getting not only more exercise (and is healthier as a result!) but also so many new and different places to check out and sniff! Hannah is kind & patient and it’s clear that SweetPea enjoys her Rover-time!!

About: I’m an avid animal lover and enjoy spending time with animals. I’ve house sat and managed the care of others pets for over 20 years. I care for animals and your home they way I want my animals and home cared for. I work remote and have flexibility in my day-to-day schedule. This makes it easy for me to stay at home with your animals or pop in for a quick walk. I follow medical and feeding instructions to the letter. I work to ensure a safe environment for the pets at all times and leave your home as I found it.

This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

Janea was amazing, this was my first time using Rover let alone a dog walker. I had a knee replacement and needed someone to take care of my spoiled pup. Did a met and greet it went great. First try Chase would init leave the yard. Janea was determined to get the job done. She asked if she could drive him away from the house. She did and it worked. If you are considering or on the fence think again Janea is really down to earth and I can tell she honestly loves what she does. I’m now able to walk my dog, but will continue to have Janea walk chase for a few more weeks. He’s really bonded with hey her over the past few weeks.

About: After breeding for 12 years, I want to continue my love of pets with working. I have worked with multiple breeds and have trained in the past. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time on my hands to give your babies the extra care and love they need while you’re gone. Although we don’t have a fenced yard, our backyard is large and we will do multiple walks a day, to make sure your pup is happy and gets all the exercise they need.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve helped care for pets while their humans are away, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! As a teacher, I’m naturally patient, dependable, organized, and attentive to the little details. I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they need. And of course, you can expect plenty of updates and cute pictures so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for! 🐾💕 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or your kitty needs some company while you’re away, I’d love to help! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll respect their space and follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know every pet has their own personality and comfort level, so I’m patient and happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace.

Sasha is a great Rover walker and I highly recommend her services to anyone! My dog Hazel is very shy with everyone she meets, but she immediately took a liking to Sasha and now every time she comes by to take Hazel on a walk, Hazel looks ecstatic in every picture that Sasha sends me from the walks. It makes me happy to know that my dog is in good hands while I'm away during the day, so I highly recommend booking her for any of your pet needs.

About: 30+ years loving and caring for all types of fur babies! I've been around animals most of my life so it is second nature to me to take care of and love on them! Do you want someone not just to feed but also love your pets? I am currently between jobs and as such an available 24/7 at the moment. I have recently applied to some full time jobs, so that may update soon. In home the pets stay indoors unless needing to potty. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to roam and play. At times when we are out of the house the (dogs) would be on the covered back porch with water and full access to the fenced in yard.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 4 years and have experience caring for pets with special medical needs. My own dog has separation anxiety, depression, and receives injections at home, so I’m comfortable with extra care and medication. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s dog with epilepsy, including administering medication and staying calm during seizures. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality and treat each one like they’re my own. I’m a student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’d love to start by offering dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’m also happy to provide pet sitting as needed. I always do my best to work around each family’s schedule and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have reliable transportation throughout Columbia, pay close attention to routines and instructions, and always provide a calm, caring environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Animals are special creatures who deserve special care and love. I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits since I was old enough to talk. Specifically, I've been hired by many friends, family, and friends of friends to pet sit as well as house sit! I am a kind and strong person who has most experience caring for dogs in all walks of life, including administering medication and special care to a large and elderly dog with blindness and cervical spondylomyelopathy (Wobbler Syndrome). I myself have 3 cat children (an inseparable brother-sister combo named Biscuits and Gravy, and an elderly cat named Feeny). I most enjoy caring for animals in their own homes/spaces where they can feel comfortable and keep their known routines. I have an intuitive approach to pets and a deep sense of integrity and honesty. I consider myself lucky to interact with as many beautiful pet children as I can! I have a very flexible and open schedule at the moment, so I am available for daytime, nighttime, weekends, as well as longer-term sitting, if required. I offer care in your own home to ensure your pet feels safe and has as little of break in routine as possible without their owners. I have the utmost integrity and honesty. I am a strong, astute, sensitive, and confident person who will care for your pet as my own.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Crane Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,008 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Crane Forest. 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 Crane Forest. 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 Crane Forest.

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 Crane Forest. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
