“Alyssa was great with my Max. Max is a 6 month old rescue pointer mix puppy who is still learning. Even after explaining he may have some reactivity, Alyssa took him for walks without hesitation and he enjoyed every minute. Made this dog momma feel at ease when needing walks in a pinch. Max is one happy puppy.”
About: I’ve had all types of animals growing up from fishes, turtles, cats, and dogs so I have plenty experience in caring for them. Family has trusted me to groom, feed, and walk their fur babies multiple times. I hope you can trust me to do the same! I’m currently only working, so I have plenty of time to be with your furbaby! I’m available on weekends at any time and on weekdays at anytime! I have a fenced yard with two dogs who are little and mighty and two cats who are very shy but friendly once they are comfortable! I can crate your dog if needed with no issue and can accommodate to your dogs needs.
About: I’m looking for extra income and I figured what better way than to do something I love and enjoy, caring for and playing with fur babies! I have always had a dog from the time I was little and even now I have a 3 fur babies of my own. I see animals as our family, not just a pet. Our fur babies and fur ever friends are very important and deserve the best care which I’m willing to provide! I will follow all of the owners instructions, be patient and kind with your pet, and make them as happy and comfortable as possible! I look forward to helping with the care of your special fur baby! For now I am only offering drop ins and walks but plan to offer boarding at a later time. I’m open to meet and greets if that is something that would make the process more comfortable for both the owner and pet.
“Elizabeth was fast getting back to me with such a late minute request. I received tons of pictures and a detailed description of my dogs time with Elizabeth. She also stayed longer than she needed to and pepper enjoyed all the play time so much! Would definitely book again, thank you ?”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors.

As a nursing student, I’m responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and committed to following instructions carefully.

About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my lifelong dedication to animals and hands-on experience in many different settings. I started volunteering at an animal shelter when I was just 15, which gave me early experience in handling pets of all temperaments and needs. For the past three years, I’ve worked in animal hospitals, where I gained valuable skills in pet care, observation, and safety. One of my proudest experiences was raising a neonatal kitten, Binx, from just one day old—he’s now a happy, healthy two-year-old and my best friend. Beyond professional care, I’m also the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to trimming cats’ and dogs’ nails, so I can help with grooming needs too. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—your furry family member will always be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention and cuddles while in my care. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I regularly care for a multi-pet household with ten cats and a dog, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and routines. I organize my day to ensure every pet receives consistent, reliable care and attention. Just so you know, I’m also fully insured!! I don’t offer pet care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your furry friend in the comfort of their own environment. I find pets are often happiest and most relaxed when surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they’re used to. When I’m in your home, I make sure to follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or keeping up with litter boxes. I’ll also provide plenty of love, attention, and cuddles so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet an stress-free, happy experience.
“Joanne is very reliable and accommodating. It is obvious how much she cares about the pets she visits and their owners. I would recommend her to sit for your pets.”
About: Special skills: senior pet care, pets with various behavioral and health needs, administering medication, kittens/puppies Growing up my family rescued numerous cats with varying behavioral and health needs and I have built loving connections with both the most cuddly and most standoffish of pets. Since childhood my neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while on vacation and many senior neighbors depended on me to assist with dog walking. In 2020 I inherited my neighbors 12 year old dog when she passed away. Caring for his diverse needs into his old age was one of the highest honors of my life thus far. At home I have 4 dogs varying in size from Shih Tzu to Newfoundland. I love to walk and be in nature and am a great dog companion for the summer weather! I am a graduate student on a break from school with a flexible schedule to provide your fur babies with cuddles and care. I am happy to help almost any time, any day ! Building secure and trusting bonds with pets and their owners is a top priority of mine. Following instructions and attention to detail and safety is a key component of that.
“Amy has been so great with my pup I can’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and handles my young energetic puppy so well. She is very responsive and sends cute pictures and updates after every walk! It has been such a relief knowing my dog is in good hands, we are so lucky to have found her!!”

The average cost of Dog Walking in Florence is $60 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $60 and $60 per walk.

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 Florence. 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 Florence 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 Florence. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
