About: I have done many dog and cat sitting jobs since I was 12, for multiple people in my neighborhood. I am an animal behavior major and love working with animals! I also have two dogs and cats of my own who I love very much! I am currently home from college for the summer and have lots of free time! I am available any day of the week day or night! I am happy to care for your pets in any capacity you need! Your pets will get lots of love and exercise while I am there!
About: Hi! I’m Alexandra. My husband and I have been dog sitting for several years and love providing a loving home away from home for our furry guests. We have a fully fenced yard where our dogs and their doggy friends can run, play and enjoy extra company safely. I’m a full-time dog walker during the week with the flexibility and time to give your pup the care they deserve. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have volunteered with various animal rescue organizations. I have experience with many breeds and personalities, ensuring each dog gets individualized attention. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We do not have children, so dogs who prefer a child-free environment are always welcome here.
About: Growing up with dogs in the family made me learn how to care for them naturally and see animals as friends. I will be more than happy to know your buddy, make sure they have everything they need, and have amazing moments together. I’m working part time and mostly available up to two hours during the morning and evenings after 5pm. Weekends are flexible with all day availability and flexibility. I always double check any house doors, to make sure it’s safe. Keep them near me in any outdoor environment is a rule, never unleashed or left alone outside. I’ll love to know more about your dogs habits and personality to adjust to their needs, restrictions and expectations.
“I can’t recommend Sam enough! We’ve booked her for recurring weekly walks, and she’s been fantastic every time. She’s very responsive, reliable, and always sends updates with photos after each walk, which we really appreciate. She handles our energetic black lab with ease, and he always comes back happy and tired. Highly recommend Sam for dog walking or sitting!”

Can work weekdays and weekends with more availability weekends. Can work days and nights. I take expert cat care seriously as I want to give your cat the same love as my own: toys, clean boxes, fresh food and water, and plenty of pets. As for dogs, I want them to have fun walking and playing outside in nature.

About: Dog-walker, lover, care-taker here! I’ve always loved dogs from a young age and have been exposed to all breeds from the start! I have a rescue lab mix of my own, since 9 weeks old and also live with 2 pitties. I’m here to help with routine dog walks as well as check-ins, feeding, baths.. you name it. I work part time with a scattered shift schedule so my days are always different. What makes me unique with this type of schedule is that I can accommodate your schedule with the openness of mine. I am available most days of the week during the work day and most nights. Not only am I timely and punctual, but I am also full of energy and another human for your dog to interact with during a long work day. I make sure your dog is well cared for in the time that I have for them and take environmental factors into account (weather,etc.). O give extra attention to dogs every time I see them and take my time on walks if I feel they need more time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Dover on Rover is $18.03 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 11,722 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dover. 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 Dover. 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 Dover.

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 Dover. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
