Bailey is awesome! Just what I needed as I’m going through chemo and needed my pup to get some exercise. She loves River and River loves her! You can tell because River is waiting but the door for her on the days she walks her! Bailey is dependable, mature and obviously loves dogs. She’s updates the app so that I know of any changes or additions (she has permission to keep walking River is she’s still wanting to walk and Bailey has the time!!). Payment is easy and if walked extra it can be automatically added! I’m so glad a friend referred ROVER to me!! I would have never found Bailey -someone we desperately needed right now to keel our pup happy, healthy & tired!

We feel so lucky to have found Lisa on Rover. She’s been amazing with our dog Finn and when we had to change plans unexpectedly due to illness, she was incredibly flexible and understanding. It took so much stress off our shoulders. Lisa is reliable, kind and truly cares, we couldn’t recommend her more!

Mikayla is really good with walking my dog and is always diligent with making sure to take pictures and record how many times my dog takes potty breaks. I really appreciate how she is flexible with scheduling too. She also met up with me before I started scheduling with her on a short notice. I'm really happy to have somebody who is really good with dogs. My dog always seems happy when she is getting walked. I highly recommend her.

About: I bring patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and I have had several dogs of my own. I have been with several different types as well as aggressive and deaf dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and quiet environment, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable from start to finish. I am currently a mental health therapist working Monday through Thursdays. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I accommodate to whatever needs your dog may have or what your preference is as an owner due to my schedule being flexible. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do like to go on walks. I typically like the dog to stay at their home and I come there so they are more comfortable in their own environments. I do have a crate at my house if needed. I don’t mind keeping them with me as well :)

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past couple years. I’ve considered getting a big dog for myself, but I do enjoy watching them for awhile and then having them go back to their owners I currently work from home as a mortgage originator. I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog. For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!

About: I have owned and cared for pets for my whole life, including cats, dogs, fish and more. When I was growing up my family fostered German and Australian shepherds through K-9 Pet Rescue. I have also raised many litters of kittens and puppies, and ducklings as well! I am a very active person and would love to meet your pets! My schedule is 100% open, 24/7. I work from home and can accommodate any dates or times needed. I am happy to spend the time needed to provide companionship for your pet. I understand the importance of safety and security: indoor cats stay inside and leashed animals remain on leash at all times. I will treat your home and belongings with respect and care.

About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.

About: Recent empty nester- let me love on your babies! I love both cats and dogs equally. Currently only offering 'in your home' house/dog sitting, drop-ins and walks. I work full-full time, M-F 7am-4:30pm. I enjoy running and also hiking the various mountains around the North Georgia area, but also love to curl up on the couch and watch TV for hours at a time. Whatever amount of activity your pet may need I am able to provide it. I have been a [people] nurse for 20+ years, giving me the confidence to take care of daily medication and/or exercises that may be needed for your pet. Please check out my reviews and allow me the opportunity to provide excellent care to your loved ones while you are away! Available weekends only for walks and drop-ins. House sitting can be arranged for extended periods, but please note that I do work away from home 40+ hours a week M-F. I do not care for pets within my home any longer but would love for you to trust me to come into your pets home and provide the level of love and care that you give them when you are home. Each pet has different needs and I try to quickly figure out how much attention and care they need to not feel sad that you are not home.

About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.

About: Howdy! I’m a 28 year old guy with a love for animals and a lot of time on his hands. I’ve looked after at most 4 (personal/roommates) dogs in my own household at one time. I have two of my own currently. They’re my boys and we spend these days lounging around at home (it’s what we three do best!) Previously worked for Barking Hound Village in Buckhead as a dog handler supervising over (at most) 20+ dogs at a time. I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments and ages- and other pets including cats, birds, rats, and reptiles. I also have care experience with sphynx cats, as I have one of my own. I have a full time job currently and am on a rotating schedule, so I am typically free after 6pm everyday. Schedule is free and open every other weekend. I am available every calendar holiday. I am flexible and happy to accommodate myself to whatever environment and play your pet feels happiest in. My own pets cannot sleep on their own- lol.

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gainesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Gainesville on Rover is $16.65 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 1,805 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gainesville. 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 Gainesville. 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 Gainesville.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Gainesville. 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.
