“Mariah was able to help me out last minute with walking my puppy Maya for me when I was in a bind & I’m so glad she could & that we got to meet her because she has a great energy & now we have someone close to home to call on! You can definitely tell that Mariah is very comfortable with animals upon meeting her & it was only further confirmed by the fact that If was completely evident afterwards too that my pup really had a ball with her on their walk together ! We look forward to having Mariah visit again soon! Thanks so much again Mariah!”

About: I have always found comfort in having animals around me, when I was younger I loved digging in the dirt and looking through the potato bugs. My grandmother always had 2 dogs in the house… labs, Brittany’s, and now two mutts.. She also had parakeets that she let fly around the house before she got hunting dogs. My mom and I lived in apartments and we always had cats, I loved taking the time to learn all of their individual personalities and gain their trust. I have helped with kitten and puppy training for friends and family. I also have reptile experience- I have cared for iguanas and now my son and I have 2 pet geckos named Kenny and Copper. I currently work part time for my fiancés business so I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of your pets needs! I live in a very nice condo complex with a beautiful trail right behind the building, it perimeters the woods, there’s also a ton of walking trails around me to take your pups on new adventures. I have cleaned homes before, I have been the pet sitter and the house sitter as long as there are instructions I can follow easily and daily. I want to spend my weekends strengthening my bond with animals and providing help to anyone who needs it. My son (Roman) is 6 and very good with all kinds of animals he is very in touch with nature and understands to give plenty of space and time. Providing him with this experience by helping to care for animals and the life around you at such a young age is beautiful to me.

About: *Please note, I will happily work with furry friends that are outside of my displayed work zone, if that is a situation that works for everyone. I truly am a dog and cat person. Dogs,and cats, are part of our families, and enrich our lives. I will always treat your baby, just as you would. I grew up with dogs. When I begged my mom at 12, and got my own dog, my mom told me I would have to do the work, and my mother doesn’t play. I did the work, trained my puppy to use one side of the yard for potty. She was trained so well, she could be walked off leash, and always responded. My dog had allergy problems, at age 12 I gave my dog allergy shots. As an adult, I lived in apartments, and cats suited my life better. I babysat a few cats, one for a month, and then adopted my first cat. Another cat came for a home to my back door. Both of my cats were raised with 3 kids, harmoniously. My schedule is open, whether you need play and activity for your pets, check-ins, or overnights. Mornings, nights, or weekends, I’m here to help your family! My goal caring for your babies, in their homes, is to keep their lives as stable and consistent as possible. I know how important keeping your fur family’s lives as regular as possible is, when you can’t be there. I love your advice on the details of what your baby/babies wants and needs when you can’t be there.

About: Taking care of animals is the best thing in the world. I have worked on farms for several years with equine, dogs and cats. I'm a cat mom, but walking and taking care of dogs has been the best job ever. I've walked all types of dogs from the smallest to the biggest, from puppy pit bull to old lady poodle and everything in between 🥰 For me animals are everything! Pet care is my main daily focus. I have an open schedule and very flexible hours and availability. Don't hesitate to reach out. I am confident we can make it happen. I offer walking and taking care of pets in the client's home. What exactly I'll help you with depends on what your pets need. Need someone to come and go, or someone to stay all day, or overnight (Friday through Sunday)? Do your pets need meds? Do they love lots of cuddles? 🥰 Whatever it is, I'm there for it! Because it's all about the animals!

About: Hello, I'm Cori! I’m a stay at home mom looking for some part-time work. I'm a very active person so I don’t mind long walks or going out to the backyard to play! I have a very flexible schedule so I can visit your pets multiple times a day if needed. As for my experience, I had dogs and cats while I was growing up and I often helped family and friends with dog sitting when needed. I hope you consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing from you. I have open and flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. My experience includes providing basic care, feeding, spending quality time with pets, keeping their environment clean, and paying attention to their individual needs. I genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time and in school so I am available on the weekdays mainly in the morning or early afternoon. If overnight care is needed, then I can stay the night on Friday nights starting at 10pm and can stay until 8am. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special needs or preferences. I keep pets supervised, make sure they have access to fresh water, and maintain a clean and secure environment. I also understand how important it is to earn an owner’s trust, so I communicate regularly with updates and photos and treat every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own.

About: I have always had dogs in my life, both big and small. Since high school, I have pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family. Last summer, I regularly cared for a French bulldog puppy, which gave me hands on experience with younger dogs. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets! I have recently graduated from Towson University with my bachelors in Environmental Science. I am also volunteering with Phoenix Wildlife center on Tuesdays while I search for a job! I have time during the week to fill and would love to drop in, walk, or board your pets! I live with my mom, sister, and stepdad but I am the primary care taker. We have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of love to give! I am also a reptile owner and keep a Plated lizard in a secure enclosure in my room, so I am comfortable with unique pets. When sitting in a client's home, I am highly respectful of your space, and my attention goes entirely to keeping your pet happy and safe. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over five years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was the proud owner of a Great Dane for three years who reached her senior years in my care. At nearly 145 lbs and living with severe arthritis and mobility challenges, she taught me the patience, attentiveness, and extra care that senior and giant-breed dogs can require. I’m very comfortable with large dogs and understand when they need a slower pace, extra assistance, and plenty of patience. I currently have a happy, energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m equally comfortable with younger, high-energy dogs who love walks and playtime! I’m also a devoted cat mom to my 3-year-old rescue cat, whom I adopted at just 12 weeks old. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I’ll always treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Hi! I’m Claudia, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom. I work from home full-time as a Project Manager, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. I’m also an early riser and typically start my mornings with a workout class, so early morning walks and visits are no problem! My flexible routine allows me to provide dependable, attentive care while working around your pet’s normal schedule. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fork

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fork. 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 Fork. 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 Fork 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 Fork. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
