“Jennifer is wonderful! Clearly loves dogs, responsible, communicative and an incredible help. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and having her walk our dogs regularly. She’s good at creating boundaries with the dogs when it comes to jumping up in excitement, etc. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top notch dog walker!”

About: Back home I’ve got 3 dogs (from a toy Aussie to a big husky) and a cat, so I’m used to all kinds of pet energy! love cuddling with my cat and taking our energetic husky on long walks. I’m comfortable with pets big and small, and I really miss being around them while I’m away at school. Whether your pet wants to play, walk, or just snuggle up, I’m here for it! I’m currently very flexible for this summer! I am open to anything! Currently looking for a part time job so my schedule may fluctuate, but will remain flexible. Back home we’ve got our dogs and cat in the yard and 1 dog in the house. We make sure to take them on walks everyday and have play time with them. Always make sure they get fresh water, especially in the summertime!

About: I have been petsitting since 2014, as of recently taking a break from my full time corporate job. I have open availability for whatever you have in mind - for the same cost of a kennel or less, your dog can stay in his environment while you are away, with plenty of company/outside time/exercise as you see fit. Happy to take long walks if needed. Your pup is also welcome to stay in my home if you’d prefer as long they are ok with other dogs/cats! Open availability, full time care. If housesitting I’m happy to spend majority of day with your pets, however will need to leave a few hours of day to take care of my own. I have a fully fenced in wooded yard and two of my own dogs who are ready to play. They are supervised at all times if outside.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.

About: I volunteered at the local humane society for 4+ years and fostered puppies and adult dogs for the shelter. I also used to work for a dog walking company and have had my own dogs my whole life! I just graduated college, so I am free to love on your pet anytime! I also am active and love having a buddy to come on walks with me. I would treat a clients pet as my own, treating it with the love and attention it deserves. I would treat a clients dog with respect and be attentive to its needs.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Over the years, I have worked with multiple families providing dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I have stayed with pets for very long periods of time and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including administering medications and caring for a diabetic cat that required insulin injections. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship. I currently have a very flexible schedule and work remotely, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting, including longer bookings and last-minute requests when my schedule permits. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. Along with caring for your pets, I make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I have loved taking care of pets since I was a child. I have pet sat for cats and dogs and it is always so much fun being around some sweet animals. My dog at home LOVES other dogs but at this time it would not be wise to get her a brother or sister because she has a human brother who is 8 months old! So, I have decided to start caring for other people’s pets because I don’t have to pay for other people’s pets vet bills 😅 If your dog is friendly and can be around the family.. GREAT if not, you can book something at your house and I am always open to drop ins. We can always make it work! I am currently working VERY part time and someone is home all day every day of the week. I have a wonderful partner and we have a baby and are trying to make some extra cash by opening our home to some pups that need some attention/a place to call home until their owners get back. At my home I live with my partner, my dog and my infant son so any friendly and well trained dogs are welcome to stay with us! At your home on certain days I CAN come to do drop ins but at least my son will need to tag along if it is more than just a morning and evening visit.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with two dogs, and after they passed away, my family welcomed a new puppy into our home. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand that pets bring so much joy, but they can also be a lot of work. That's where I'm happy to help! As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult, or a senior companion, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication for complete peace of mind. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding schedules, and accommodating special needs. I have no breed preferences and happily care for all dogs, including pit bulls and pit mixes. I only ask that you let me know if your dog is not friendly with other dogs so I can ensure everyone's safety. I'm also comfortable caring for cats of all personalities and am experienced with both indoor and outdoor cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own, provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of love. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to check my availability!

About: I will love and care for your dogs like they are my own! I am at home most of the time and would only leave your pup at most 5 hours 2x in a given week. I have my own 10 lb "mystery doodle" fur baby and we both welcome fur friends to our home and are happy to come stay in yours, as well. *Please note that I can only accept dogs up to 30 lbs for boarding at my home.* Cuddle time is priority and I take the dogs hiking almost every day. I live right next to an amazing open space, and a huge grassy area "dog park." Lots of fun playtime happens there! Holistic health is a priority for my babies, and I often share information on diet, lifestyle, training and supplements that can help your dog to be the healthiest possible as well! I also practice honest, clear communication regarding any issue that could possibly arise. I started petsitting at the age of 12 when I had a small business in my neighborhood. I went on to spend a few summers working full time at the local kennel, walking, feeding and caring for dozens of dogs there. I worked at a sled dog kennel in Alaska one year caring for 100 dogs and since then have cared for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and at other's homes. I also have had my own dogs for the last 15 years. I look forward to talking to you about how I can care for your pets and leave you knowing your fur babies are loved, healthy and safe! I am normally only away from home for 5 hours tops 2 times in a given week. Other than that I am with your fur babies going on walks, playing with neighborhood dogs in the "dog park," hiking, and cuddling on the couch. I have a friendly 10 lb mystery doodle, a small fenced yard, and our larger "back yard" is the open space next to the townhome I live in where we go on short walks multiple times a day. There is also a grassy area nearby locals call "the dog park" where many dogs run around and play. I would be happy to bring your pup on hikes with my dog and I, as well!

About: My name is Moriah, and I am 31 years old. I worked for Wag! from August of 2017 to February of 2019. I also worked in a kennel/dog grooming facility when I was younger. Pets, and animals of all kinds, are my joy. I absolutely love working with them. They fill my heart with such happiness. I take pleasure and pride in treating your fur-babies as best as possible, and having fun with them is a unavoidable gift of each encounter. I will make sure to follow your instructions, and provide you with detailed reports of what we did and how things went. I will also send pictures and/or videos, of course! After doing this as my only source of income for about 8 years now, I know it is my passion. I would love nothing more than to take care of your pets while you are unavailable. I look forward to meeting each and every one of them! Pet care is my full time job, so I am able to provide your fur babies with all the love and attention they might need! I like to just hang out with your pets most of the day. I am flexible and match my schedule to theirs, following any and all instructions you have for me. They are my sole focus throughout the sitting, walk, or drop in. I pick up on their quirks quickly and forge strong bonds with them. I love to provide them with as much comfort and security as I can while their family is away. This is my full time job, so my weekly routine revolves around pet care. Not only do I love every minute of it, but I'm able to provide your animals the highest level of care that way! I follow all instructions that are given to me, and I tend to spoil your animals with love and attention! Sometimes treats as well, if they're allowed. I am able to stay at the pet's house with them nearly 24 hours a day, which they love. We have lots of fun together and always end up developing a strong bond with each other. Anything else that is needed or wanted, I will be happy to provide!

About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.

About: I just moved back to Colorado from Southern CA where I used work for a non-profit where I train dogs to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities! I can handle large groups of dogs and love giving special attention to any pet :) I had cats and dogs growing up and during college, I watched many of my friends’ dogs for a few hours, up to a few weeks. ** message me if you have scheduling questions! I can be more accommodating than this app’s calendar :) I work full-time, so I am looking to help watch pets on weekends and over the upcoming winter holiday season. I am comfortable staying at a client's home and doing longer-term pet care as long as the animal can be alone during the day for an 8 hour work day. If your home is near Oceanside, I can stop in during my lunch break to let your pets out to toilet. I will keep dogs on leash unless in a trusted, enclosed area. For safety reasons, I will not be using a Flexi-leash. I will always make sure your pet has ample clean water. I am more than happy to send photos and updates on your pet while they're in my care! As of July 12, I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross, and for my job, I have been trained to be alert to allergic reactions and typical dog stats.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Crescent

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Crescent is $33 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 11,280 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Crescent. 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 Crescent. 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 , 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 Crescent 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crescent. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
