About: I bring dedicated, loving care to every dog I sit, with a strong focus on daily walks, interactive playtime, and personalized attention that keeps tails wagging. Skilled in reading body language, managing feeding schedules, and providing calm, patient support for pups of all ages and energy levels, I treat each dog like my own. What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to building trust—offering consistent updates with photos and notes, going the extra mile with extra belly rubs and enrichment activities, and creating a stress-free environment so owners can relax knowing their furry family member is happy, safe, and well-loved. As a stay-at-home mom, dog sitting blends beautifully into my daily and weekly life, letting me give your pup the dedicated time and affection they deserve. My home-based routine means I’m available for morning outings, midday play breaks, evening wind-downs, and everything in between. Weekdays are wonderfully open once family tasks are done, while weekends offer even greater flexibility for overnights or extra adventures. I love building a trusting bond through consistent walks, fun activities, and plenty of belly rubs—creating a stress-free, happy experience so your furry family member feels right at home while you’re away. I have a fenced back yard that can ensure the safety of you fur babies while they are out an about doing their business. My Dog Cooper gets along really well with other dogs and loves to play! Your fur babies will have time inside and also time out side. I will require a crate for the night when its bed time as i dont want the dogs out and about while my family sleeps. Overall I will take care of your babies as if they are my own and love them, play with them ,and have fun with them!
About: I can help with anything you may need! I worked at a vet clinic for a little 2 years. I love animals, I am working to become a Vet Technician in the future. I would also like to note that my partner has shown interest in helping so I’m showing him the ropes! He has quite a bit of experience like I do. I have full time availability so I can help anytime you need! I have school finished currently, and do not have a job at this moment. I can follow directions completely and keep your fur babies happy! I can play with them, walk them, anything you may need or want. Or anything they may need or want!
About: I’m a firm believer that our pets are family and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life and Im currently a dog mom to a handsome Belgian Malinois and a beautiful german shepherd. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also had experience caring for pets that are deaf, blind, and that require medications and even eye drops. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I have the flexibility to check on your dogs throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, run, dog park, or even a casual hang out for a few hours. Because of my dogs, I’m very specific on if I’ll do overnights at my house. My boys are very dog friendly and love to play, but it can be a little much for other dogs. I prefer to take care of your pet in their home, so they are in a familiar and comfortable environment.
About: I used to be a military police dog handler for a long time so I have great experience with dogs. I am a person who genuinely cares about animals. Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog there for me in my life. I treat every animal with care and respect! Your dog will be in great hands when booked with me! Right now I am on leave for quite a while so everyday any day will work for me. I will be around the dog 24/7 and make sure they are happy and taken great care of. I have a fenced back yard and a fenced play area in the basement where dogs can run around and play without getting too hot because outside in the hot sun all day.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, from Great Danes and Mastiffs, to chihuahuas and Teacup poodles. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior with special care requirements, I know how to meet them where they are—with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m confident handling medications, monitoring health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. And yes, I’m fluent in belly rubs, leash manners, and the art of a good treat toss. My training as a veterinary technician adds another layer of confidence and skill. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring subtle health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. Whether your dog needs special care or just a gentle presence while you're away, I offer both professional know-how and genuine affection. Im currently working part time from home, so I will have PLENTY of time to check in on your babies. I’m attuned to their moods, their health, and their quirks—whether it’s a sudden burst of zoomies or a subtle shift in appetite. Throughout the week, I build in time for deep-cleaning, play therapy, and medication routines when needed. I approach each task with intention and honor, recognizing how much trust goes into watching your home and pets. Clean water bowls, fresh bedding, and a tidy environment aren’t just details—they’re part of how I show love. I take pride in creating a space where dogs feel safe, soothed, and seen.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 409 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 Dover. 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 Dover 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 Dover. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
