About: I Love Big Dogs and Big Paws! My family always had Labradors growing up. Bailey is my 12 yr old Chocolate Lab who still thinks she’s a Puppy! Bailey is my baby (I have no kids). She is my whole world. I love playing fetch at night with the glow ball is my favorite, doggie photo shoots, going on walks, belly rubs, ear scratches, brushing, petting and loving on my baby girl. I would treat and love your dogs as much as I do my own. Labradors and Golden Retrievers are my favorite dogs but I Love all dogs for their unconditional love that they share with us as pet owners and pet lovers. I love that they show us a smile by wagging their tail.
About: I grew up around tons of dogs and have experience caring for both large and small breeds! I’ve owned everything from a Belgian Malinois, pits, to poodles, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and care needs—from the wildest pups to the calmest companions. I’ve also cared for stray cats for years, giving me plenty of experience with cats and animals that may need a little extra patience and understanding. I absolutely love animals and would be happy to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Text me anytime, I normally answer super quick!!! And have very open schedule time for me, almost anytime is fine with me just give me a holler :) I can stop by for walks, attention, dinner time or even just some play time for your fur babies! Anything you need, just one text away
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, trustworthy, and kind to my dog. She always took him for the full amount of walk time and was great about letting me know if he went to the bathroom. I would highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every visit the same. I’m patient, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and spending quality time with pets throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special routines. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Taylor did a great job and I would definitely have her care for my dog again. Good communication, very professional. She seemed good at establishing rapport with my dog.”
About: I have always had a love of animals since growing up on a farm in rural West Virginia full of chickens, pigs, horses, cows and of course dogs and cats. I currently have one dog, a German Shepard female. I'm a single mom who is looking to make some money on the side doing something I love. I work in healthcare but I'm exploring other career opportunities caring for animals. I'm hoping by helping other families I will be accomplishing two tasks at one time: gaining experience and assisting families. If you would like a kind and compassionate person to care for your animals in your absence I might be what you're looking for. I have never been convicted of misconduct towards people or animals and willing to go through background check screenings.
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a child. I currently have three dogs, two goats and two ducks! I treat animals as part of my family and promise to give yours the same treatment ❤️ I am recently retired with my husband and want to remain active and have purpose, my love for animals brought me here for that purpose. I have a one acre property with a half acre of that fenced for backyard exercise and fun! Your dog will be safe and loved.
About: I’m a teacher for 19 years in citrus county!!! Love animals and will care for them with all my heart. I have been sitting for my friends and family for years. I work full time. However, I have the Summers and Holidays off. I’m available mornings, after school and weekends. I’m able to accommodate just about anyone. I’m here for you. Please let me know what I can do to help care for your pet. I clean up after eating, using the potty, and anything you need.
“Breezy came in clutch when we had to make an impromptu business trip at the last minute. They always take time to hang out with our pup and take them for a nice long walk. Our doggo loves them and we appreciate how quickly they respond to walking requests and how kind they are to our pup.”
About: I grew up on 5 acres with horses, dogs, goats, pigs, cats. Pretty much whatever you can think of I had it! I have been caring for others peoples animals since I was about 12 years old growing up in the country. I’m use to bathing, feeding, walking and just genuine playing with the animals. I currently work part time at Publix and know my schedule in advance so I am able to work around any pet sitting! When I’m not at work I’m at the house playing with Winston or taking him to explore the area. We have a beautiful back yard where we spend most of our day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly puppy who will keep your fur baby the best company! We play fetch, have a sandbox for the dogs to dig and find hidden toys and a dog friendly splash pad for the hot days. We also allow the animals on the furniture if that’s what they’re use to at home :)
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I was little and love seeing the different personalities each pet has. Neighbors, friends and family have been able to rely on me to walk, feed and sit their pets. I currently work part-time working typically 3/4 hours a day about 2 days a week. This will leave plenty of time to play with your animals and care for them. I have two friendly animals in the household and a fenced yard allowing the animals to roam freely. Whether it is at my home or theirs, I listen to the owners rules and routines for their animals.
About: I have over one year of experience caring for dogs through fostering, dog walking, grooming, and daily pet care. As a nursing student, I have developed strong caregiving, observation, and communication skills that I naturally extend to every pet I care for. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to individual needs, whether that means providing exercise, companionship, grooming, or maintaining routines. I take pride in keeping pet parents informed with real-time updates, photos, and videos, ensuring they always know how their furry family members are doing. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I maintain a reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care. I’m available after 2:00 PM Monday–Wednesday and have flexible availability Thursday–Sunday for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m committed to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while accommodating each pet parent’s schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on a quiet, low-traffic road with a large yard for supervised play and outdoor time. For added peace of mind, my property is equipped with security cameras to help ensure a safe environment for your furry family member.
About: I was a dog trainer for Petsmart, I have been a foster for rescues, and I have taken in many homeless pets. I have 2 golden retrievers that are very loved and spoiled and are my world! I enjoy taking care of all dogs, young, old, big, or small. I can give oral or injectable medications. I only use filtered water for my fur babies and yours, no tap water. I'm home all day, I run a business from my house. I spend most of the days with my dogs and they love play mates! I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs of my own to keep your babies company and I have a crate I can use if you prefer or if needed.
“Sophia was great with my dog Grady. She was warm, friendly. She took the time to get to know him and play with him and make him (and me) feel comfortable with her before taking him on a walk. She was also punctual and professional!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Crystal River on Rover is $21.26 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Crystal River. 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 Crystal River.

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 Crystal River. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
