About: I have watched over many of my friends and families pets. The dogs I have watched in the past have been moderately large, and could be a bit wild at times but I was able to keep hold of the situation. I have also accompanied my family and friends when they had taken care of pets for other families. I had helped train a very wild pup for a friend, as well as a basic command which was sit. I absolutely love animals and even went to a program in high school for them. I am currently free during most times of the week. I am currently attending HCC, my classes being on Monday and Wednesday and do not stretch late into the day. I am very available to watch your pups or kitties! I can come during the mornings or evenings during the week depending on the day. I am also available to house sit. I care for them by learning their needs and wants first in their home. I understand every animal is unique and needs to be cared for in a way that works for them. I listen to the owner to ensure that everything will be safe and cared for in their absence.

About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife. I currently care for three rescue rabbits Layla, Monty, Zuko and one beagle/JackRussell mix, Copper. I'm lucky to have all my pets in my life and they truly enrich our lives for the better. I do ecological reforestation restoration work throughout the state of MD, PA, WV, & VA. I'm a certified licensed horticulturalist and propagation specialist (I can grow plants) my schedule is flexible to a degree but message me and we can work out the details there. on a leash/harness or lead line in the yard. I do walks and or hikes- weather permitted. Allow outside with supervised fenced in playtime with toys

About: A lot of my clients and friends call me the animal whisperer because I have yet to met an animal that doesn't like me. I have grown up with animals, specifically dogs, all my life. Growing up with animals has made me realize that your pet is very much a part of the family so I treat each and every pet as if it were my own - with love and care. Animals have shown me the meaning of unconditional love without judgment. I work from home so I’m pretty flexible and pretty much make myself available for your pet. I especially love having an excuse to get out of the house to take care of your adorable furry pet :) I’m pretty good at handling multiple pets at once and can hold my own. I’ve handled walking multiple pets on leashes at the same time. I’ve handled a house full of pets. I watch them and give them the love they need while I’m with them :) no animal or animal task is too difficult for me.

I am currently caring for 2 special needs dogs and am able to administer medications orally, and sub-q (under the skin). I am currently working from home and have my days open to other animals in the area that may be of need during their parents busy days. With the years of caring for own animals, as well as working in the veterinary field I have had to work thru many situations and make sure that the animals needs always come first.

About: I have had dogs all of my life. From a German Shephard, to Labs, Goldens, Huskies, Shih Tzu, I have had them all. I have experience giving my Red Fox Lab, Big Boy Butters insulin shots, since he is diabetic. My Goldens, Maggie and Ollie, love playing tennis ball and going for walks. Daisy, my Shih Tzu, thinks that she is a Doberman even though she is only 15 pounds. They all love to wrestle. I have a fenced in yard where they can run freely. They enjoy their treats and all of the rubs they can handle. I also have experience with salt water/fresh water fish and reptiles. Just love animals. They are always happy to see you and they enjoy being loved. I am working full time but have an open ended schedule and am willing to make anything work. I can either come to you or willing to have your pets stay with me. I have 3 teenagers that also love dogs that are willing to help out. Your pets will not be ignored and will get plenty of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two goldens, a lab, and a shih tzu currently if your pets would be coming here. I can also stay at your house to take care of your pets. Can make anything work. I have had dogs/cats/fish and reptiles for over 50 years so I have plenty of experience. Butters, my Red Fox Lab, is diabetic so I also have experience with medication and insulin shots.

About: I have 20 years experience working with all types of fury, feathered and scaled friends. Comfortable and confident working with something as small as mouse or as big as a horse. My background in veterinary medicine should give you some peace of mind. I have several clients I have worked with through years and the majority of my pet sitting clients I met through my years in the pet industry not through this app. My love for animals is unmeasurable and your loved ones will be in good hands. I will care for them as I would want my own to be cared for. Mother/caregiver of 2 cats and 1 dog (rescues), 2 lizards and 3 ponds with a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic life. Upbeat and energetic personality ready to meet and make friends with some wonderful new characters. Please feel free to text, email or call for any questions or concerns about potential needs. I have a part time job in which I make my own hours. My schedule is very flexible at the moment which allows me plenty of time to care for others. I can not house other animals at my house but have been doing overnights and dog walking for many years. I have CPR and first aid training, safety is my top priority.

About: I have lived with cats and dogs my entire life. Taken care of neighbors’ and co-worker’s pets. Previously worked for a cat vet, so giving medications is not a problem. Recently retired and looking to stay busy! I currently live with three of my own dogs and I’m finding extra free time these days. Recently retired from law enforcement and looking to stay active with dog walking or drop-ins. Looking forward to decompressing and helping those who work long hours not worry about their pets!

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I have 2 pets of my own. I feed and take them on walks every day I have 2 pets of my own. A dog named Reese and a cat named Sawyer. I am able to come to someone's home also. I also work in the evenings Wednesday through Sunday so I am able to care for animals in the mornings and all day on the days that I am off from my regular job which is Monday and Tuesday. If you need an overnight sitter I can do that as well. My schedule at work is usually 7 hrs and I would be able to come stay a night after I get off work. We can discuss that at a later time upon booking if needed. I take my dog out on the leash because of the place that I live at doesn't have a fenced in yard. Watch them closely when not on leash. I also have kennels that can separate them if needed.

About: I grew up with two favorite cats and many kittens! Always treated the neighbors dogs as my own, waking over to play with them as I pleased. I love being outside myself and know how crucial it is to be active in your dogs life! Can play fetch, walk or run for hours on end no problem. Of course i am very patient when every plant has to be sniffed and love to go on runs in the woods. Have no problem waking up in the middle of the night or early morning for potty breaks and love cuddles :) Daily brushing/ grooming can be provided and have no problem giving baths if the puppers gets dirty on the hike! Have no problem doing daily drop ins throughout the day or can easily stay overnight for days/ weeks if owners are away. Very big availability during the week! Of course I have no issue staying in cuddled up with the cat overnight either and I’m no stranger to the 3am zoomies! All welcomed here and play is encouraged! I am very available to stay the night for days/ weeks on end when the family is away! I can surely stop in mornings and evenings anytime needed! As many times as needed :) I know it can be stressful for an animal to have to say goodbye to their beloved owner for what feels like an eternity, and even more so if they have to leave their home and enter a strangers! So I am very mindful to just make the babe feel at ease. Make them feel at home as much as possible. Try to implement all of their favorite daily needs and just give them whatever they’re needing judging by how their feeling! If they want time and space to themselves, got it! If they want endless hours of play and cuddles, even easier😄. Each pet has their own personality and I love figuring it out.

Thomas is so great with our boys. We’re so grateful he was willing to help and put in the extra effort to take care of our golden retriever while he’s recovering from a neurological event that caused temporary paralysis. He’s been wonderful. It’s a blessing to have peace of mind that our boys will be well cared for while we’re at work.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Darlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,369 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Darlington. 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 Darlington. 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 Darlington 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 Darlington. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
