I prioritize high quality nutrition, offer raw diet feeding options upon owner request, and regularly incorporate healthy organic fruits and natural treats into our feeding routines. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching home where your dog feels comfortable, loved and part of the family while you’re away. I am a business owner who work right at home, where I care for our own dogs and our clients dogs. I have ample time to dedicate to your pet daily. I have allocated kennels and open land for the dogs to exercise and play. I have limited neighbors, and an entire facility for comfortable and personable sleeping arrangements and cooling/heating depending on outdoor weather.

About: I have taken care of an array of animals and have a trusted eye for any underlying issues that may arise. I have taken care of elder dogs and pups who are only a few hours old. I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be as a parent of an animal who needs a lot of attention, to have to trust another with the care and detail you would give. I am here for you! Your fur babies comfort and health is always at the top of my priority list! That is a guarantee! My fiancé and I just recently moved to Delaware from Florida to help out as a caregiver for a family member. He is the primary caregiver, we both are going to school but our availability is based around our work schedules. In which my schedule is wide open! Please let me know if and how I can help you! We unfortunately cannot have any additional pups or cats at our apartment because of the sensitivity of our caregiver ship. We have medical supplies in designated areas of course but sometimes the elderly lady we take care of will drop her pills and we just don’t want to put an animal at risk by boarding them with us at the moment.

About: Insured with Pet Care Insurance Pet CPR & First aid certified I've been the primary person caring for the household dog for over five years now. I have a keen eye for details and a high sense of responsibility when it comes to the care of those who cannot speak for themselves. I also have experience hosting for multi-day sleepovers and managing the dynamics of a small (2-3 dog) temporary pack. I no longer accept clients who have heavy smells in their homes. This includes, but is not limited to, cigarette smoke, urine, and plug in wall scents. Rates subject to change based on your pets needs. I work full time during the week, but am available all major holidays and weekends. I currently walk and feed my dog twice a day, so adding your pup to the routine would be a breeze! Although I don't have a fenced in yard, there is a safe neighborhood nearby where we walk our dog daily. I have one dog currently who has loved every other dog he's ever met and would be happy to share his toys! We do allow pets on the couches & beds, but would be able to crate at night if that is preferred.

About: I’ve owned a dog for many years, so with that being said; walks are very essential for their well being. I enjoy walks and that’s why I want to share my time of walks with my furry friends. I generally make walking my dog a mile or two with playing and having fun in daily-weekly routine for exercising to stay hydrated and healthy. When I walk dogs I like to let them lead the way and sniff areas that are safe and clean then play a little if they want.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ellendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ellendale. 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 Ellendale. 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 Ellendale.

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 Ellendale. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
