About: **Im sorry but I will not accept a next day booking if I have never met your dog previously, it's for safety's sake!** I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a little kid. All the dogs growing up were considered "my dogs" by everyone else in the house. I currently have two well behaved dogs, a husky who enthusiastically learned to do basic tricks and a special needs staffie that is a certified couch potato. If your baby has a medication regimen, I can make sure it gets followed. We can be as lazy or active as your baby needs me to be. I also have extensive experience with cats and some experience with ball pythons. My human kids are adults now, so I spend most of my waking time doting over my fur babies; I could consider yours a part of my pack if you'd like! If your dog is an adventurer we can walk for hours. I have two very friendly dogs and two...lets just call them tolerant...cats. I love just watching them go, so I am very engaged with the babies all day long. I'm good at following instructions and I can crate your pet as I come and go if you wish.

“Kristin was great. I needed someone to walk my dog a few times on a sunday evening. She was able to meet me and Oakley before, and check out my apartment so there were no issue the day of. She provided pictures and updates, along with beginning and ending walk times. It helped keep me at ease, and I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up loving pets of all kinds. My dad is a retired dogsled racer and I've been around lots of dogs since I was 7 years old. Being introduced to dogs like that so young made me fascinated with them so I am overflowing wealth of knowledge when it comes to canines. I have 8 pets of my own so pet care is an integral part of my everyday routine. Feeding, walking, making sure they have water, pets, cuddles, and tons of affection! My own pets are my children. I don't have kids myself so I pour that love into them. I understand, like children, everyone is different with what rules and expectations they have for their pets. I will respect owners choices for their pets.

About: I have professional dog walking and in-house dog sitting experience as well as a deep love and appreciation for the wisdom of dogs. From 30 minute - 1 hour walks and visits to longer term care, I’d be thrilled to keep your dog happy when you are away. I’d say I’m quite receptive to dog personalities and can provide pets, cuddles, scratches, walks, dances, etc. Maybe your dog isn’t into cuddling and playing around — that’s okay too. I respect that and will keep a healthy distance. We will walk. We may talk. I can send you quality candid photos and even possibly montage video of our time together with my filmmaking background and skills. I can promise safe and exciting play sessions of any length.

About: I've lived with dogs for several years and have experience walking, playing with, and caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including plenty of cuddling. I work in person two days a week and am completely flexible the other five, available anytime for walks, feedings, and drop-in visits throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their usual routines, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water, attention, and plenty of affection. I also treat every client's home with care and respect, just as I would my own.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my whole life of all different breeds, tempers, ages, and energy levels. I have also taken care of fish, horses, turtles and hamsters so I am a true lover of all animals. I am currently working part-time and am a student so i have lots of gaps and free time to take care of pets from being around them frequently so as not to be left alone as well as an active routine so would include dogs in my daily walks and take the time to play with them as well as cats indoors. As an experienced owner of energetic dogs large and small, small pets (hamsters, fish, guinea pigs) and cats of all temperaments (kitten to senior) I am well versed in the necessary activities a pet needs to thrive. Not only is company, food, and bathroom breaks required but also lots of stimulation, play, long walks, and exercise so your pet can flourish.

About: The last few years I've provided an array of services for dog sitting, walking, weekly stays and occasionally drop in visits. From Danes to Chihuahua's I'm certain I can give your pup the love, patience, care and energy (high or low depending on the pup) that they need to live happy, comfortable and confident lives. I've taken care of an array of animals since I was a kid from hamsters to dogs to little frogs! I currently have a 2.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix who I've worked with through several training classes. I'm happy to help and follow through with current trainings you are working with your pup on while I interact with them. I'm able to remove ticks and have a first aid kit always on had and a base medicinal understanding and can administer medication if needed. I'm also doggy and human first aid certified (American Red Cross). If your pup is spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well socialized (or needs a little nudge and isnt aggressive or reactive) I'd be happy to take them to a dog park with or without my pup Luna. Does your dog have a special diet? Bon appetit, I'll be sure to get them their right food at the right time! Senior dogs need love too, I'll be patient and we can take a nice and easy stroll or take a little car ride! Speaking of, I have room in my subaru for any transportation your pup may ever need (including a doggy seatbelt). Overall, I'm flexible and want to help you and your pup have a happy life! I am currently employed but my schedule is very inconsistent at this time so reach out for availability checks and I can work with you! I'm very flexible in my scheduling. Right now I do not have the capacity for boarding or keeping any dogs besides my own at my current residence. Here we have a large yard with room for our pups to run and their recall work has been going well. Dogs can be on the furniture minus the kitchen table! We also have a large basement with room to run there too. In your home, I follow your rules and will respect your privacy. Please inform me of any specific requirements in your home or anything I should be aware of. I will act professionally and respectfully, just like I would ask someone if they were entering my home. I am flexible so just let me know of anything and I can adapt!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life!, my first dog when I was little was the same age as me from age 1-to age 10! Growing up with her was a great experience we were best friends and did everything together! For years I’ve stayed at my aunts house twice a year to dog sit her dogs when she would go on vacation, I also stay with my dads dogs when he goes out of town quite frequently. My boyfriend and I have recently bought a van and are deciding to travel around the country in our van full time, so we will have plenty of time and a free schedule to watch/play with your fur babies. I will make sure they are played with and cared for and have lots of pets and cuddles if needed. Also walks or runs depending on what you prefer for them!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have helped care for family and friends’ pets. I’ve dog-sat a few times and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m also a Criminal Justice student at OCC and interested in K9 training, so this work is something I’m passionate about and excited to grow in. I have plenty of time on weekends and weekdays! only time i’m really busy is school but I only have two classes a week! Even though I don’t currently have pets, I’ve had them most of my life and know how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and cared for. I’m calm, patient, and always pay attention to what animals need. Whether it’s following a feeding routine or giving them space to adjust, I’ll treat your pet like family.

About: I had two dogs growing up (little fellas) who were my best friends in the whole world, so I understand the importance of a sitter you can trust. I pride myself on my communication with dog owners. If you'd like frequent messages while you're out of town, I'd be happy to send you daily updates on your pet! Outside of pet sitting, I am also a teaching artist in after-school programming, teaching K-5 students acting and improv to help them build confidence and teamwork skills. Currently working back in my home town of Syracuse for an acting gig, and looking to meet some more dog clients! I work part-time rehearsing weeknight evenings and Saturdays during the day, so I have a lot of free time for drop in visits and walks during the day. If you're out of town for an extended period of time, I'd be happy to provide you with frequent updates on your fur baby while you're away! I promise to always leave your space better than I found it, communicate effectively with you before my stay, and to respect your space and privacy.

Samatha is kind, communicative, and a true dog person. She has walked my big anxious boxer several times now and she is my first choice when I need a dog walker. She is the highlight of my dog’s day when she walks her, and I plan to book with her again in the future.

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🙂

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fairmount

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fairmount is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $23 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 512 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 Fairmount. 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 Fairmount 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 Fairmount. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
