About: Hi! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine, providing plenty of attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll take the time to accommodate individual needs and routines. All the little details are important to me, I’ll keep you updated with photos & messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! My priority will always be to treat your pet like family and give them the same love, patience and attention I would want and give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet :) I currently work some part time shifts, but Im primarily a stay at home dog mom🥰, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! I live in a safe, pet friendly apartment community with a dog park, and my 1 yr old toy poodle Stella, is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. If your pup is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have a little playmate during their stay! And if you prefer care in your home or need pet walking, I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s environment and routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet.

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.
“Nicole was prompt, efficient and handled the tasks professionally with care. Our dog Valentino was always happy to see her. Our cat Sohji, who never comes out for guests surprisingly showed up for a cameo pic! This is an indication that even Shoji was comfortable with her presence and care. We recommend Nicole as a competent and caring pet specialist. Nicole will always be our pet care specialist when needed.”

“Estefania is the best! She’s been my go-to for all visits and walks for a while now, and she’s just as fabulous as the first booking! She takes my dog on her full mile walk and sends amazing pictures and updates!”

About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, including raising and caring for my own beloved dog, Nina, for over 16 years through every stage of her life, from energetic younger years to the extra patience and attentiveness that come with senior care. In addition to caring for my own pet, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, both in my home and in theirs, and I also have experience caring for cats. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe consistency is incredibly important when caring for animals. Whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, or simply respecting the structure pets are used to, I make it a priority to follow your care instructions closely. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, organized, attentive to detail, and committed to keeping pets safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication matters, so you can expect thoughtful updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week, including accommodating a variety of pet care routines and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I take scheduling commitments seriously so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for on time and according to the routines they know and trust. My goal is to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into both your schedule and your pet’s daily routine. Having been a devoted pet owner myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with your pet’s care. I know pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe great pet care starts with paying close attention to details and following each owner’s instructions carefully, whether that involves feeding schedules, walk preferences, medications, household rules, or recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior. I work hard to maintain the routines pets are familiar with so they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always a priority, both during visits and on walks, and I’m attentive to ensuring pets remain safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I also believe communication matters, so you can expect regular updates and check-ins for added peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space, attentive to security, and committed to leaving your home exactly as I found it.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I come from a family that has always had both cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, playing, giving attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also like to keep everything clean and organized so your pets can stay relaxed and you can have peace of mind too. My cat is also very friendly with dogs, which has helped me become even more comfortable understanding different pet personalities and behaviors. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. Feel free to contact me so we can find a routine and schedule that works best for you and your pet. Currently, I mainly offer care in the client’s home, especially because I enjoy keeping pets comfortable in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I have plenty of experience with dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, from walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. With cats, I’ve noticed that many tend to feel more relaxed staying in their own space, so I’m happy to do regular visits throughout the day to give them attention, care, food, clean spaces, and companionship while you’re away.
About: I've been around pets my whole life. I grew up with cats and had a family dog throughout high school, and I've had my own cat for the last five years. Taking care of animals has always just been part of my everyday life. I've also helped friends in my apartment complex by walking and feeding their dogs while they're out of town. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and give them the attention they need. I live in Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale, so I'm nearby and available for local pet care. I'll treat your pet like I would my own and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away. I work from home, so I’m almost always around and able to give your pet attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take multiple breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Having my own cat, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and someone around who genuinely cares for them. I’m able to provide dependable care while also giving your pet the attention and companionship they need. I understand that every pet and home has its own routine, so I make it a priority to follow the instructions provided by each owner. In a client's home, I will make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and are comfortable in their familiar environment. I know cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I believe keeping their normal routine is important. I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while also keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fort Lauderdale is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lauderdale
Angie was absolutely wonderful! She was available on short notice, followed all of our directions perfectly, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the walk. Even with the rain, she made sure Arya got a great walk. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Arya was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Angie again! 🐾❤️

I have used a lot of dog walkers on this app for years and Margine is my favorite by far! She really cares for animals and it shows with the special care she gives to my boy Louie. She follows all care instructions perfectly and gives me complete updates on how he’s doing. 10/10 for Margine. Highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Our Weimaraner and Puggle were clearly happy and comfortable while staying at Stephen’s home. He kept me updated with regular messages and sweet pictures, which really gave us peace of mind. He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease leaving them in his care. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with him again.
Return customer here, and once again Daniel was great with our dog! He kept in communication with us the whole time during the walk, sending us pictures and giving us updates, and even fed him dinner! He followed our instructions to the t and we feel a hugeeeee relief knowing that our pup is in capable and safe hands with Daniel while we are at work. Will be using his services for the foreseeable future!

David was absolutely amazing and Mia really enjoyed her walks! I felt super comfortable with having her in your care and being away put my mind at ease.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fort Lauderdale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,625 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
