“Ellen is wonderful and I have had a wonderful experience working with her to take care of my dog, Remington. She is very communicative from start to finish and I appreciate how reliable and thoughtful she is. It is clear that Remi is well cared for, happy, and comfortable with Ellen.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have taken care of tons of family/friends pets as well! I would love to help out with yours too! I only work part time so I have plenty of availability and time for drop ins, feedings, and long walks. I have a very flexible schedule! I have an eight year old Border Collie who loves going to the park and chasing her frisbee. She’s very active and that’s a huge part of our every day routine.
“Cassidy is an absolutely fantastic dog walker!! She was always so flexible with my work schedule and always showed up to walk my pup!! If I wasn’t moving I would keep her forever:)”
“Jon is super accommodating! He came over and met Opie right away so we knew if it would work out . He sends refreshing update pictures to ease being away from your baby! We are so thankful to have someone able to walk Opie at the needed times :) thanks Jon!”
“Alyssa did such an awesome job with my pup!! I was a little nervous having someone else walk her as she is a bit shy, but Alyssa’s calm and loving presence immediately put my dog at ease and returned from her walk happier than ever! I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend 😊 thanks Alyssa!!”
“Erin is the best dog walker we could have asked for! She is patient and kind! Our little Beau Beau is curious about every little thing and she took her time to let him sniff and check things out. Our German Shepherd Charlie is not sure of other dogs so Erin made sure to comfort Charlie when other dogs were present on the walk. She sent some awesome pictures too so that we knew just how much fun our pups had! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future for my dog walking needs!”
“Rebecca has been great so far. Aries is happy he gets to see new people and get extra time outside. Rebecca also goes above and beyond, not just for the dogs but as a person as well.”
“Alex is wonderful. Great at communication, takes both of our dogs out, and is flexible. One of our dogs is an older lady and the other is a young and hyper. We have border collies and Alex takes care of them so well.”
“We love Mariah! She walked my pup during my travel nursing contract in Denver and took great care of her! She always provided thorough updates and lots of photos/videos.”
“Thank you Noel for taking great care of our boys Charlie and Oscar. It was a comforting feeling to know they were in safe hands while we were away! And in the end, they fell in love with you. Thank you Noel for being here for us and the boys. 🙏🏻💖”
“Noelle is great! She is personable and a good communicator. The notes/pictures I got after the 1st walk, seemed like Noelle has always known my dog! Made me feel like my pet is in good hands. I highly recommend Noelle and plan to book walks with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jesse and I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats in the home, but always loved going to friends’ homes to play with their pups. I have three years of experience fostering dogs; I find so much joy in helping animals find their forever homes while being able to love and care for them in the meantime. Additionally, I have years of off and on experience volunteering in animal shelters, so I have really seen it all when it comes to furry friends. Personally, I have two cats. Louie is a senior with special needs, and Zelda is a two-year old ball of energy. I deeply understand how invaluable our animals are to us and that they are an integral part of a family. Overall, my goal is to ensure your angel is safe and happy while you’re away. I work in the service industry, so I have a relatively flexible schedule. I am part-time, and I have afternoons and evenings completely free. My day typically starts around 6am-7am, so I am usually up before the sun. I do not have children, so I am able to move my schedule around pretty easily with a couple days notice. I have two very friendly cats, however Zelda tends to take a while to warm up to new people/animals. I live in a quiet, residential neighborhood with safe, walkable streets not too far from a couple of parks with large grassy areas. I respect others’ spaces and treat them the way I would expect anyone to treat my space. I am the kind of sitter that believes you should leave a home better than you found it. I am thorough, detail-oriented, and like to follow directions to the letter. I am an open and efficient communicator, and I appreciate clients that have the same attitude.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Derby is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
I am so thankful to have found Sydney. My dog has severe anxiety when I board her so I thought if she was in her home environment she would be more comfortable. Sydney was amazing with Paige. Sydney obviously knows dogs, how to read their body language, and cared for Paige as much as I do. I can’t recommend her enough and I will definitely be reaching out to her again when In leave town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Derby on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 13,518 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Derby. 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 Derby. 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 Derby.

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 Derby. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
