Great dog walker. Milo loved going for the walks with Zcarina. She always on time to walk Milo. She sent pictures and told us how he was every time she walked him. We will definitely use her again.

Mitchell was a superb dog walker for me and my dog, Kygo. He is incredibly professional and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He was always on time, provide updates after each walk (which I really appreciated) and I noticed a difference in Kygos energy levels and overall happiness. He brought treats for Kygo, took pictures, provided updates, overall A+ experience. Thanks Mitchell!

About: I have always loved animals and have many years of personal experience caring for pets. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I understand how important it is to be patient, reliable, and attentive to a pet’s needs. I also have experience with cats, as my wife had two cats, and I was able to help care for them as well. In addition, I have had regular contact with other dogs and animals over the years, which helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I would be happy to help with drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, short walks, playtime, and photo updates. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home. I currently have a flexible schedule and can often help with drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, short walks, and basic pet care during the day. I am especially available for planned visits and can usually adjust my schedule with some notice. Because I am currently focusing on settling into the area and organizing my next professional steps, pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to help pet owners who need reliable care while they are at work, traveling, or busy during the day. I always want pets and their owners to feel safe and comfortable. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, fresh water, medication instructions if needed, walking preferences, and any special rules. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take my time and try to make the visit calm and stress-free. I will make sure doors are locked, food and water are taken care of, and the pet is safe before I leave. I am also happy to send photo updates, so owners know their pet is doing well. Since I do not offer boaI would like to know the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, behavior with new people, medical needs, allergies, anxiety, and any special rules. I would also like to know where food, water, leash, litter box, and cleaning supplies are located.rding in my own home, I focus on caring for pets in their familiar environment, where they usually feel most comfortable.

Jenarae took care of our dog Ruby for 8 days and did an amazing job! Ruby was well taken care of and given lots of love (our cat Meg and our many fish were also given lots of attention and care). I received information each day about how Ruby was and what she was up to as well as lots of great pictures of her in action. I would highly recommend Jenarae for all your pet sitting needs.

About: Since 2023, I’ve volunteered at a high-risk animal shelter, working with animals who needed extra care, patience, and love to feel safe. I also have two pets of my own, so I understand how much they mean to you! In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals, including dogs, cats, and even a chicken ! so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I also have a lot of experience working with pets that are anxious and fearful. I always treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-behaved while in my care. And don’t worry, I welcome all the loving, protective “helicopter pet parents” out there, because I’m one too! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pets. I’m generally available any day of the week, and mornings work especially well for me. I can also help out on weekends! I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of hazards, whether that means checking gates and doors, keeping toxic items out of reach, or creating a calm space for shy pets. Don’t be afraid to ask for pictures every hour because I do that too! In your home, I follow your instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I will always provide a safe and cozy space where they can relax, play, and feel loved. My goal is to earn your trust and help your pets feel as happy and safe as they do with you!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!

About: As the proud owner of a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animal care. He’s my first dog, but my passion for watching over and nurturing animals has been lifelong. I believe exercise is key to a happy, healthy pet. I regularly take my dog on long walks and would ensure the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s playing, petting, or just spending quality time, I genuinely enjoy creating moments that bring joy to animals. Cleanliness and grooming are also priorities for me. I love brushing my dog and ensuring his coat stays healthy while keeping our home fur-free. You can trust that your pet’s hygiene will always be well cared for in my hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I would treat them as if they were my own. I have a Belgian Malinois which is one of the most active and energetic dog breads. I care for him daily from multiple walks, to feeding, brushing, and playing with him. I prioritize his well-being all while working a full time job. I work from 7 to 5 so we are up and at it by 4 AM. Then I come home to take care of my Maui. For clients, my availability will be from Monday to Sunday. I do not work from home but I work very close to my office so I could drop by in the afternoon to take your fur baby out to pee and stretch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while respecting your home. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Follow Your Instructions I adhere to the feeding schedules, dietary requirements, exercise routines, and any specific instructions you provide. Maintaining consistency is key to keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. 2. Keep Their Routine Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure walks, playtime, and naps happen as expected. I also take the time to engage with them in ways they enjoy, such as games or cuddling. 3. Maintain Hygiene I clean up after the pet, ensuring their spaces (e.g., feeding area, litter box, bedding) are always neat. If they need grooming, like brushing or wiping paws, I handle it with care. 4. Provide Plenty of Exercise and Attention Whether it’s walks, playtime in the yard, or indoor activities, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 5. Ensure Safety I keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents, secure any areas they should avoid, and monitor for signs of illness or distress. 6. Respect Your Home I leave your home as I found it, keeping spaces clean and secure. I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while away. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the love, care, and attention your pet deserves while maintaining the trust and comfort of their home environment.

Dakota and Jaclyn were outstanding! They were available on very short notice, which was a huge help while we were away. They took the time to understand Beaux’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure they understood every aspect of his care before getting started. They were responsive to updates and adjustments, communicated well throughout the visit, and gave us confidence that Beaux was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely cared about doing the job right, not just completing the visit. We truly appreciated their professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. We would absolutely book with Dakota and Jaclyn again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Dougherty on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,098 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dougherty. 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 Dougherty. 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 Dougherty.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Dougherty. On Rover:

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