Jenna, she went above and beyond her duties as a dog walker. She was very kind to Trevor, who is kennel anxiety dog. That has been in Hanover County animal shelter for way too long so this beautiful vibrant, sweet sweet dog they decided to euthanize so I have been walking him so that he won’t have kennel. Anxiety and Jen was a wonderful part of this. thank you so much and a shout out to Jenna

Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.

Amy to the rescue! Our normal dog walker was suddenly hospitalized and we were able to book Amy on short notice (less than 24 hours). We are so glad we did! She came over to meet our pup and had a few questions for us. She was very responsive and sent a little recap of the walk, the walk details, and amazing pictures. Would definitely recommend!

About: I am a grad student with a very flexible schedule! I have owned and cared for a range of dog breeds, from cocker spaniels to German shepherds. I even had a Great Dane for several years! No mess is too big! I’ve administered medications and love getting outdoors and would love to walk or drop into your pet! I adore cats and I have an American bobtail cat called Atlas 🐈‍⬛ My daily routine is incredibly flexible as I am currently working on my PhD! I pick my hours and I can work around any pet sitting/walking needs! I am a gentle person who loves to give pets and go for walks and (if willing) give belly rubs! I look after a very content male cat daily (who follows me around the house).

About: I have 7 years of pet care experience. I have cared for countless animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rodents, and fish. I absolutely love animals and am committed to providing them with the most adequate care. I am currently working part-time as a nanny, my hours are 2-6 Monday-Friday. I am looking for gigs that can work around these hours, preferably the weekend. I have a large, fenced in yard which my two dogs love to play in. I also have a leopard gecko and parakeets (who will be in their cage whenever another animal is in the house.)

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and commitment to treating every pet like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on building that trust by providing dependable care, following your pet's routine, and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit. I'm an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, making me a great fit for energetic dogs that need exercise as well as pets who simply enjoy companionship. I'm patient with puppies who are still learning and understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and maintaining their routine. I'm also attentive to senior pets, taking a gentle approach, moving at their pace, and making sure they remain comfortable while following any special care instructions, including medication schedules if needed. My professional background in leadership and customer service has taught me the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. You can expect me to arrive on time, care for your home with respect, and make your pet's safety and happiness my highest priorities. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and stress-free while you're away, and to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, dependable hands. As someone who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, exercise, and being outside, so caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy rather than just a job. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and quality attention throughout the week. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both their pets and their home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide fresh water, take dogs on safe and enjoyable walks, clean up after them, and spend quality time playing, exercising, or simply providing companionship. I also send regular photo and text updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands while they're away. Safety, patience, and reliability are my top priorities. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra attention, I'll provide personalized care that matches their needs. My goal is to give every pet the same level of love, attention, and respect that I would give my own.

About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.

About: I have loved animals since forever. I’ve taken care of pets for neighbors and friends and love meeting new animals! I run track in college, so I would love to bring a furry friend on a run or walk and am more than happy to bathe and feed them afterwards. I’m currently working part time, so I will have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m currently home from college, so I can work until mid August. I will heavily rely on the information given to me about specific animals and their behavior. While the yard is surrounded by trees, there is no fence so I can keep an eye on the dog. There is also a pond in the backyard.

Absolutely amazing! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She truly went above and beyond by making an extra trip to ensure my dog was well taken care of, and that meant so much to me. During the heat wave, she was also very mindful of protecting his paws and making sure he stayed safe and comfortable. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own, and my dog absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dumbarton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Dumbarton on Rover is $20.26 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 2,374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dumbarton. 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 Dumbarton. 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 Dumbarton.

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 Dumbarton. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
