About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents about their pets’ routines and work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have a medium size calm dog Judo who loves the company of other dogs. I have been caring for my own dogs since 2014, and started Rover in 2018. I also foster dogs for local rescues and especially have experience with shy dogs that need help trusting people. Because of allergies, dogs are not allowed on furniture or in the bedroom. We only take one dog at a time to insure your lovely pup gets the attention they deserve. We only accept dogs that are fully house trained. Accidents happen, but please do not send your dog over if they already have urinary or digestive problems. Please understand that we only accept fully vaccinated dogs to protect the health of our resident dog. Before booking with us for the first time, we recommend a meet n greet to ensure a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. Potty breaks in the yard available throughout the day. Two walks a day with my dog and park visits on weekends. All interactions between dogs will be monitored. When I’m not around I will keep them separate in the first three days until I am confident that they get along. Food will be provided separately and toys will not be left around.

About: For eight years, I had a shadow - a golden retriever who followed me from room to room, sat/slept under my office table through all my office meetings, looking into his eyes was enough to melt away stress. He was healing, loyalty and presence all wrapped in fur. Having lost him couple of months back, I understood something I'd always sort of known, their patience, their joy, their quiet companionship -it's selfless in a way few things in life are. I wanted to give back to his species, what I gained from him over the last 8 years, love and care and walks, to redeem on some of my regrets that I have that wish I could have taken him for more longer walks, more joy ride in cars, more time with just sitting with him. I work as a director for healthcare company, full time from home, have a full fence backyard, pet door for pet to walk in and out from it when they wish if I am boarding them. Having walked my golden for years in rain, snow and heat, I know how to care for them and keep them safe on walks from strangers and other pets.

I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I love their companionship. I also like to remain very active and get outside to go for a nice walk, so doing this with a dog is the best of both worlds! I work from the comfort of my home and my job provides me with a lot of flexibility. I will have ample time to make sure your furry loved one gets outside a few times per day and also gets showered with love and attention! I understand that every dog is not the same and might require different things! I'm happy to and will be vigilant in following any and all feeding and care instructions that you need! I want to make sure that your pet is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!

I am free any weekend and can walk before and after work during the weekdays. Please do contact me with any questions or concerns, thanks. I am currently a hybrid worker with two flexible remote days during the week. I can do check ins or dog walks anytime before 9am and after 4pm.

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s dogs and cats for years, with my experience caring for pets going all the way back to my teens. For the past two years, I’ve especially loved walking and doing drop-in visits for dogs in my neighborhood, and I’ve also cared for cats through house sitting and drop-in visits over the years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each fur baby, learning their personality and routine, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. After having such wonderful experiences using Rover for my own fur babies, I decided it was time to join the sitter side and share that same kind of care with other families! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes welcoming another fur baby into my home an easy fit! I personally provide all care, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and love throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Your fur baby will be welcomed into my dog-loving home with a fully fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having company! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I walk my dogs regularly and would love to include your fur baby in our walks when appropriate. I’ll personally provide their care and follow their normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and care routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their humans are away.

About: Having over 4 years of experience caring for my own dogs has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's needs. I'm familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, so I always try to give them the love and attention they deserve. What makes me different is that I don't just see pet sitting as a job. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel cared for, happy, and loved! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for animals. As an 18-year-old, I'm ready to start something I genuinely enjoy and turn my love for animals into a new experience. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I'm excited to stay active, learn more about animal care, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away! I currently have one dog at home, a Pitbull, who I make sure is always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I take care of him by making sure he gets fed on time, has fresh water throughout the day, and has a clean and comfortable space to relax. I also spend time playing with him, giving him attention, taking him on walks, and making sure he gets enough exercise. I pay attention to his behavior, energy, and needs so I can make sure he's doing well. I love spending time with him, and caring for him has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and understanding a dog's personality. I always want him to feel safe, loved, and cared for!

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age. Friends and family have trusted and always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and stay with their pets while they are out of town. I love caring for dogs, it actually helps to bring me a clear peace of mind and releases me from anxiety. Fur babies brighten my day and fill me with joy I love having a companion by my side especially because I don't have any pets of my own currently. I would love to be given the opportunity to care for and nurture your pets! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pups! I am free 7-days a week, only gone on the weekends for a few hours during the evening. I live in a townhouse and have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run around. I don't have any dogs of my own. I love to go on walks throughout the day in my neighborhood to get some sunshine, so your dogs would be taken out multiple times a day. I can easily crate the dogs if necessary. Willing to do whatever to create a fun, loving, and safe environment for your pups!

About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years now. I love animals and I love giving them all the attention they need. I am willing to help with pet care no matter what that means. It could be as simple as feeding and walks. It could also be more complicated and be about making sure an older dog gets their medicine. Secretly for me pet sitting is more about spending time with animals than it is about the money. I am free all day on the weekends. I will base my weekend schedule around the dog’s schedule. On weekdays I am currently working from home 8-4. If I need to stay overnight at your home I treat it with the upmost respect. I am also willing to do other basic tasks at the house. Like watering plants and taking in the mail. I know how helpful it can be for dogs to stay in a familiar environment.

Risotto knows when his buddy Todd is coming by to walk him. :) Todd was especially understanding of the fact that Risotto had just had surgery and was very careful with him. Risotto sometimes barks at people walking past the house, but now does not bark at all when Todd comes by to take him for a walk...that's the level of consistency and steadfastness that ALL dogs need, so if you need someone who will take really good care of your pup, Todd is fantastic! Thank you!

Katie has provided phenomenal care for Paige. She communicates well and is always prompt, reliable, and kind. She has been a godsend, not only with respect to affording me the ability to more easily adjust to new work schedules despite having to leave Paige at home, but also in enabling us to feel secure in knowing Paige is in incredibly competent and compassionate hands. Most importantly, Paige loves Katie. On several occasions, I have had to work from home but did not cancel the walks and observed Paige run to the front door when Katie comes in (she doesn’t even do that with me!). Thanks, Katie!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Darnestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Darnestown is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 16,335 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Darnestown. 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 Darnestown. 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 Darnestown 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 Darnestown. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
