About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. 🐾 I lived on a farm for many years, where I cared for a variety of animals and learned how important patience, responsibility, and attentive care are. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, including senior dogs, small breeds like Chihuahuas, and larger breeds like Pitbulls and German Shepherds. I’ve also cared for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve even house-sat for a German Shepherd who required medication, so I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra exercise, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help! I treat every animal like they’re my own and would be happy to give your pets lots of love, patience, and attention. ❤️🐶🐱 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m available for walks Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 11 AM–3 PM. I love using this time to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals. I’m reliable, flexible within my availability, and happy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! 🐶💕 When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. 🐾 I’ll follow all instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. My goal is for your pet to feel happy and cared for while you’re away, just like they would with you! 🐶🐱❤️
“Jennifer was very attentive to Leia which is exactly what she needs after moving to a new area. I feel so relieved that I now know someone that, when I have a long work day, can stop in and take care of my pup with a walk and a hug halfway through the day. Thank you!!”
“Evan showed up at the meet and greet promptly+ was relaxed + calm for my boy who needed a last minute walk for the following day. He followed my border terrier's routine + gave me communication before, during, and after!”
About: I've had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, sugar gliders and right now I currently have a chinchilla. I love all animals, and am always up for helping family/friends with their pets if needed. I'm very laid back and do not mind taking extra time to offer my lap if your fur baby requires extra doting and snuggles. I am currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time during the day at the moment. I'm happy to spend some time playing/hanging out! I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but I'm happy to come to you! I will respect any instructions or boundaries. I'm more than happy to do a meet and greet prior to care to discuss expectations.
“Steph took great care of my two Shibas - meds, walk, water, food, pets. My two dogs aren't the easiest to walk (they aren't great on a leash and one is hesitant around new people). Steph took the time required to treat them as if they were her own. *This was my first time to use Rover. Would definitely recommend Steph!”
About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in
“Jason has been a lifesaver for our family. We have two high energy huskies that need their exercise! He has been there for us with our last minute requests and crazy schedule. We are very lucky and grateful to know you!”
“Sarah has been walking Jenny weekly for a month or so now in the middle of the day. She has been lovely, and taken Jenny on adventures around town. Sarah has also been flexible when my schedule has changed which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Drew has truly been amazing at taking care of our little puppy ! She has been very easy to communicate with and very flexible. Given that our schedules change frequently. She gives us updates on Callaway and even offered extra help when Callaway was sick. Can’t thank her enough!”
About: I love animals and giving them so many snuggles. I have taken care of 5 pets 4 at once. I have experience sitting puppies (to of which I had at the same time who are siblings) I have that high energy, but know how to be neutral too. I'll send photo and video updates...except of the ones where I am singing and dancing to my own music, which are songs about your pet. What can I say? Feeling inspired! I promise that your babies will be well taken care of an loved! Communication is key, and I am sure to keep every pet parent updated while they are away. Here is a list of miscellaneous services 10.00 per medication administration 20.00 per 10 mile travel. This is round-trip I try my best to keep my calendar up to date! I am very timely with replies. If I do not reply the day of, I will the next day. Communicate safety rules with owners prior to pet sitting, and making sure I know where everything is located, such as, food, leash, vet phone, medications. Whether or not your baby is sensitive to certain things like being touched or picked up, if they prefer calm energy or high energy. I also communicate the whole time with pet parents to reassure that their baby is in good hands and happy. Please include emergency contacts. I always leave the key hidden where it was found, in the event that there is an emergency. I haven't had this occur, but it's a good precaution
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years, including my own dog, Million. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s needs. I live in a quiet home with no children, no smoking, and a calm environment that helps dogs feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines closely, enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and can provide frequent updates, photos, and videos. Your dog will be treated like family while staying with me. I work from home, so I am at home most of the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can take them out for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever they need. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I live in a clean and quiet house with no children, no smoking, and multiple extra rooms where visiting dogs can rest comfortably. We also have an open yard where dogs can safely explore under supervision. My dog Million is friendly and fully trained, and I introduce dogs slowly to ensure everyone feels safe. I provide free toys and treats, follow your dog’s routine closely, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing.
About: I've had cats and dogs (and other small furry critters) since I was in HS. I love caring for animals. It has always been a joy to care for my own or others. For this last Thanksgiving we had a Foster puppy here as well as our neighbors dog and it was a lot of fun. Everyone, had fun, even the cats. The more I sit for animals on Rover, the more I love it. ~ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ~ We will review anything you'd like before you leave, and will do our best to accommodate. ~HOUSESITTING The housesitting rate covers you for 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Dover on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,115 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:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
