About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.
“5 stars doesn’t seem enough to describe how happy we are! Gabby has done an amazing job with our dog, Chase. He is very timid at first and she did an amazing job allowing him the space and time to warm up to her. She leaves detailed notes after each walk and if you are as crazy as we are about our pets you know this is so appreciated! We are so happy we found Gabby and can rely on her to take such good care of our fur baby every day we are at work! Highly highly recommend using Gabby for your fur babies!”
About: I love caring for animals! I adopted my cat Chloe 12 years ago and dog Charlie 2 years ago. I have also frequently cared for my family members dogs over the last 5 years! I have loved every minute of it and finally decided to spread the love and start pet sitting and dog walking! I was recently laid off so I have a lot of free time to care for all pets! I’d love to turn pet sitting and dog walking into my career! My apartment complex is extremely dog friendly with 3 dog parks for dogs to play in! My dog Charlie also loves to play with dogs in the neighborhood and is dog cousins! I love going on long walks and frequently walk my own dog for 30-45 minutes at least 3 times per day.
“Naidilis was an excellent dog walker. Dolly loved her right away which is not always the case! She brought her own doggy bags and was on time. She has a very sweet and kind disposition. She is also very easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her services.”
“We just started using Tina and she has been great. We have two dogs and one can be a little anxious. Tina is very calm and patient and the dogs have welcomed her. She is also very communicative which is a big plus. I highly recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fords
We were out of town for a few days but felt so peaceful about our boy’s care because of Gabby. She is a loving, reliable, competent professional who really understands and cares for our pup. He looks forward to seeing her! We receive amazing updates so that we know all is okay!!!!!!! So grateful for Gabby 🐶💙
I seriously cannot recommend Paige enough! She is absolutely wonderful with our girl Leia, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands when we’re not home. Paige is so sweet, reliable, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief having someone we can trust to take care of our girl. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby!
We had an excellent experience with Mackinzie walking our dog, Cooper, for 4 days, twice a day. She was punctual every single day, dependable, and took great care of Cooper. We really appreciated how she kept us updated after each walk and shared pictures and all the important information, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was caring, responsible, and clearly treated Cooper with love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. We would definitely book her again!
Eva is so wonderful!! She is timely, communicative and very flexible. She was easy to coordinate with and book when we were looking for a dog walker while our dog was staying with my parents. We are very thankful to have found Eva for our dog and appreciate how friendly and caring she is!
Veronica and her husband Ryan were amazing, Shadow hit it off with them immediately! I will be using them for boarding in September and they were very accommodating when I said I wanted to do a couple walks with them before boarding to build a relationship with Shadow. I am so happy I found them and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pets.
I can not thank Tina enough she was wonderful ! I was nervous because my dog is new to my home and he is nervous still and this was my first time using a dog sitter lol so I had asked her if she can go to my house a little earlier then planned to check on my dog and she did and it was all incredibly successful !
Hannah was amazing with my Tallulah! First, she was available on such short notice and really helped me out when another sitter cancelled. She went above and beyond and made sure Tallulah was loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease. She was so accommodating since my pup is dealing with a few health issues right now. She wrote a long note at the end and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend Hannah and definitely want to work with her again!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fords is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 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.

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 Fords. 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 Fords 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 Fords. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
