About: With over 20 years of experience handling cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, I can promise that any pet under my care will receive all the care and attention they need. As I stated, I am very comfortable with both cats and dogs of any breed and any disposition. I am especially experienced handling large dog breeds. I also have experience training dogs and handling older animals. I am also able to administer medication As a teacher, my summers are wide open. I am also available during the school year, with most of my availability being in the late afternoon and evening While in your home, I will maintain a safe and loving environment for your animal. The same care is provided for your pet if it is boarded with me. Boarding amenities include a fenced-in backyard, friendly roommates, and all the cuddles they could want
“Carly was absolutely fantastic! She was perfectly on time, brought a wonderful, positive energy, and came prepared with treats. My pup was clearly happy and excited to walk with her, and I felt instantly comfortable and confident in her care. I'll definitely be booking her again very soon!”
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.
“Kaylah was an absolute lifesaver! I reached out on very short notice twice this week, and she responded quickly and was more than happy to help. She took amazing care of my dog, Oakley—made sure she was walked, fed, and given lots of love. I came home to a happy pup and really appreciated the updates she sent during the visit. Kaylah is reliable, kind, and clearly an animal lover. I’d definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her to everyone.”
About: Dog and cat lover. Plenty of experience with dogs with anxiety. Will make sure to give your pet all the love and care they need. This will be my only endeavor. I am available weekdays and weekends. Walking and caring for your pet is the most important thing for me. I have two dogs and i am responsible for caring for, feeding, and playing with them. Caring for a pet is about understanding their individual needs, and making sure that they are happy and safe at all times.
About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.
“Kristen has been a huge help with my 9 month old golden retriever. She has been flexible with her schedule and great with communication. She is very friendly and Winnie enjoyed greeting her at the door for a daily walk. Highly recommend.”
“Jamie has been stellar w/ my challenging pitbull! I've noticed a positive change in his overall temperament since she became part of his care team. She is easy to work with and schedule. Definitely recommend.”
“Maria did an excellent job and I was very pleased as we're both my dogs. One was hesitant at first, but then quickly became fond of her. Thank you Maria for doing such a nice job.”
“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”
“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”
About: My passion for keeping dogs happy and safe! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I also have a dog named Zeus! Loving boy! I have a flexible schedule and I will work with your dogs scheduling needs! Your dogs will be happy and ready for a happy! Wahoooo! My house is pet friendly and safe! Willing to go to owners homes! Training and playing with dogs is my passion! Play all day! Yay!
About: I have always been an animal lover, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and size since middle school. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! I’ve even helped rescue cats and kittens, so I have some experience with that. I work for myself as a speech pathologist so I make my own schedule weekly, making it very easy for me to accommodate needs for your animal! I truly believe that animals can sense when people will treat them right- all animals appear to sense this about me and can trust me.
“Lory was amazing. We have only had Clover for a week and were pretty hesitant about having a stranger come to our house and take care of our new puppy. She was nothing but compassionate and professional. We met before the service so we could all meet and get comfortable. We will definitely be seeing more of her and would recommend her.”
About: While I do not currently have a four-legged friend of my own, I have raised and cared for dogs and cats over the past 30+ years. I have also cared for dogs and cats for friends and neighbors. My experience includes fostering rescue dogs of different breeds (mostly pit bulls), size, age and temperament. I love all dogs and appreciate their unique personalities and energy levels. I will provide basic training, lots of playtime, walks, belly rubs, cuddles, whatever your fur baby needs… I will treat them as my own and give them lots of love & affection. You can rest easy knowing that while you are away, your paws are in good hands, receiving the attention they deserve. To ensure that our time together is stress-free and safe, I will not watch dogs from multiple households. 🐶❤️ As of January 2024, I am semi-retired and self-employed. My flexible schedule allows for plenty of time for playing fetch and going for several daily walks. I currently have no other animals of my own in my home. Therefore, I have lots of room in my home and my ❤️ to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and a dog-friendly, quiet neighborhood for walks and play time. I will base activities on their age, size and energy level. I have patience and understanding in caring for dogs who may be a little nervous at first, especially if it’s their first time away from family. I will keep you updated on our adventures so that you can rest easy and feel confident that your four-legged family member is in good hands.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I previously owned a pit bull and a bullmastiff. I love the company of animals so it would be my pleasure to take care of your dog. I have a 15 year old son who is also a dog lover and very responsible. I live near the Erie Canal and love to walk the trails with furry friends. I minimally train if needed although I’m not certified. I am currently not working so your pup will get plenty of love and attention. I may leave the house for a few hours a day but that’s all. I let them hang out on my main floor where couches and beds are all pet friendly. I have a large picture window they love to people/dog watch from. I have a fenced back yard for potty breaks and will walk them around my circle or at the canal for exercise. I take multiple dogs at a time and when I have more than one dog I adjust to their individual needs and separate if need be. I have 2 spare bedrooms set up very comfortably just for dogs if that is the case and everyone gets their fair share of attention☺️

Carly has been wonderful with my senior dog. She is patient with him and goes above and beyond to help him get outside and enjoy his walks. I also appreciate her flexibility when I have asked for earlier or additional visits for him. Been such a relief to have her check in on him when I am at work🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairmount on Rover is $18.87 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 578 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fairmount. 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 Fairmount. 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 Fairmount.

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 Fairmount. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
