About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their routine. I am reliable and truly passionate about creating a stress free experience for both vets and their owners. Pet care first perfectly into my daily routine because I am a full time mom ( grown kids) and home full time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. Mealtime, walks and play. I take time to learn their personalities and what comforts them.

About: I've grown up with dogs of all size my entire life so taking care of them is second nature. From growing up with 2 St. Bernards to owning a small dog with medical issues now, I am used to it all! I currently work from home with a lot of free time and would love to use it to keep your pets happy and healthy! I already prioritize walking in my schedule and would love to bring your pet along with me :) I will treat your home like my own, making sure your pet is comfortable with my drop ins and unable to get into anything once I leave.
“Another great experience with Vadim! I went away for the weekend and he came to walk Bailey and take care of her each day I was gone, keeping me updated with lots of videos, giving her treats and keeping her happy. Vadim is always on time and an excellent communicator, I feel confident booking with them because I know my girl will be well taken care of, love seeing her wagging her tail in my updates! :)”
“Ayelen is very kind. When first meeting my dog, she got on the floor and starting petting her and talking to her like I do! My dogs tail started wagging immediately. She arrived on time, sent pictures during my pups walk, asked informed questions, followed directions - you really can't ask for better! My dog came back tired, so I am really appreciative she got some exercise!”
“Estefania is the best! She’s always available and send so many adorable pictures ❤️ My dog Arya loves her, she takes her on her long walks to give her plenty of time to explore. Estefania is my go to for Aryas care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fort Lauderdale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,522 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fort Lauderdale. 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 Fort Lauderdale. 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 Fort Lauderdale.

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 Fort Lauderdale. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
