“Abigail is wonderful! This was my first time with Rover, and she made it easy. She came over for a meet and greet, sent me updates, and took great care of my crazy babies.”

About: I have always loved being around animals, I started walking dogs when I was 11 around my neighborhood and I have been pet sitting since I was 14 so I’ve had a lot of experience pet sitting/walking dogs! I currently walk dogs Monday through Friday but I am always looking for more🙌🏻 I do online college so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to help anytime, I only need a little heads up!🫶🏻 I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime—to keep them happy and relaxed. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I also love sending picture updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 😊
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine my life without them! 🐶 I currently have two dogs who had to stay with my father in Ukraine because of the situation there and I miss them very much. Spending time with dogs here helps me feel calm and happy — for me, this is more about companionship and love than money. Because of that, I prefer to care for one dog at a time and give them my full attention. I’m attentive, gentle, and very mindful of dogs’ emotions and comfort. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved 💛 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m easily adjusting my day to a dog’s routine and needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a calm and clean environment, and avoid overcrowding. I prefer a peaceful setting where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and truly cared for at all times.
“An excellent walker, doesn't mind that the dog walks come with an additional (injured) human, extra helpful and overall a great experience for both me and Loki 10/10 would recommend”
About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.
About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me. I worked at doggie daycares/boarding facilities for 3 years, and am an assistant at a competitive showing kennel. I attended CATCH canine trainers academy as well. I would love to extend my love for pets to you and your fur family by caring for them as I would my own. I work part time at a private kennel, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Caring for dogs has been my full time job for 4 years! Working with dogs as much as I have, I feel like I have seen it all! I care deeply about the health, safety, and mental well-being of your dog, and will do my best to give them an amazing time while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs even since I was younger I love to play with dogs bathe them walk them even feed them especially treats even car rides out I’m currently working part time and also have plenty of time on the side to spend with your fur baby and keeping them safe as well By providing a safe environment for your fur baby I have a dog that can keep your dog company as well and I can crate your fur baby if you need me to
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 6 and I’ve had a pup of my own for almost 10 years! I’m here for all your dogs needs including walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, medications (if needed) and, of course, love! I want your dogs to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away and I don’t want YOU to miss a thing which is why I’ll send plenty of pictures of your fur-babies! I’m a graduate student on summer break so I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and check-in on your furry friends! I want to work around YOUR schedule and offer my services when you need them most! I want to learn all about what your animals love! From your dogs favorite chew toy to your cats favorite sunny nap spot. I have a senior dog, Ginger, that I’ve had since she was 6 months and a 2 year old cat so I am super familiar and comfortable with dogs and cats alike especially their needs, habits, and personalities. I will follow any schedules/instructions you provide me including meal plans, playtime, medications (if needed), walks, etc. I will also keep the space as clean as I found it so you don’t have to worry about messes or any other stress when you return!
“Heather did a fantastic job taking care of my mothers dog Field. She was always on time, communicated welll and did a great job overall. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!
“Laura has been wonderful with walking my rather high maintenance pups. I don't know how I would have made it through the holidays without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and flexible. She always takes the time to show my babies special love and affection and that has meant the world to me. Thank you Laura!”
“Kaylee was amazing! She responded quickly and stayed in touch with me each day of her visit. She has patience with shy pets, and my dog warmed right up to her after the first walk. Definitely would use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.

“Lauren was excellent!!! I will definitely request her in the future. My dogs loved her immediately. She was the Best dog care provider that I ever had. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. We just loved her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Forest. 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 Forest.

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 .

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
