“Yulia is the most amazing and tentative person! Dhe takes Indiana on walks while we are at work and he loves her so much. I always know that he is in good hands when Yulia takes him. I’m so grateful for her!”
“Amber did a great job caring for my senior dog who needed daily potty breaks while I was at work. The cat loved her too! Will use her again when my regular dog walker is out of town.”
“Audrey is extremely communicative and professional. She completed a meet and greet with us and asked such well thought out questions that I knew she would take great care of my dog.”
“Antonia is WONDERFUL with my lil old man! She takes him for walks over a mile each time... this past time it was freezing and snowing. It did not stop her- I was so grateful. So was Buster :-)”
About: Hello, my name is Keana and I am a health care grad student. I've taken care of dogs as early as elementary school, most consistently a neighbor's 2 dogs and 1 cat through high school. I myself had several reptiles but no furry friends due to my mom's allergies. The first dog I could call mine was as an adoptive mom to my partner's dog - he passed away late 2025 at age 14 after getting lots of senior care from us. I have taken care of several friends' pets, mostly dogs. They are always excited to see me, and when I don't have anyone to take care of, I miss the canine company! I look forward to helping your pet live their best life while you are away. I find boarding (at my home) is the easiest way to get them the best attention, so that is my focus. I work hybrid and have a partner who can help so your pet won't ever be alone more than a few hours. I update availability regularly, but if you have any special requests just ask. I wouldn't be able to live with it if something happened to your pup while with me! I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs who have lost hearing, have digestive issues, and many other senior things. If you are working on any simple training or reinforcements I can continue that, too. I understand not all pets are cuddlers or like to be picked up just because they are small and I am respectful of their bodily autonomy :)
“Erik is incredible! Communicative, prompt and kind. Have a high energy doberman and Erik does wonderful with him on his mid day walks. Will continue to trust him and utilize his services!”
About: I want to work with animals full time and hopefully build strong connections and business relationships! I've been a pet owner for my whole life and have always enjoyed every bit of it. Even the not so glamorous parts! I love animals and I will make sure that your furry family members are taken care of! I'm available every day of the week to make sure that your furry friends have all of their needs taken care of whether it be going for a walk or just keeping them company! I will make sure that all of your pets are treated well and taken care of to the best of my abilities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets at home and I hope that I can provide a sense of safety and peace of mind while you are away!
About: I've taken care of dogs for 14 years, all different ages and conditions. I am experienced in caring for dogs with medical conditions and administering medication (pills, shots, etc.). I love caring for all different kinds dogs, no matter their age or conditions. I am currently pet-sitting full time so I am available anytime of the day/week. The only restrictions I have are the other pets I care for. I will hangout with your pets(s) at your home for at least an hour at a time, giving them plenty of attention, playing with them, and doing anything else needed. I am comfortable and experienced with feeding and administering medication. I can take them on long or short walks, or play with them in the backyard.
“I had a sudden issue where I couldn’t walk my dog! Richard responded quickly to my Rover request and took my dog out that same day until I felt better. Each day they went on walks Navi came back tired and fulfilled. Richard sent me pics and updates throughout the walk. If Navi needs a good walk and I can’t provide, I will definitely reach out to Richard 🤞”
“Blake was great and walked my dog while I was out of town. He consistently communicated and sent pics which made me feel comfortable while I was away. Thank you Blake, will definitely book again.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with dogs, volunteered at a horse rescue ranch, and have experienced cat-sitting. I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Outdoor time, walks, and fun. I will strictly follow the instructions provided by the pet parent. For dogs, they are welcome to enjoy social time with my dog in a large fenced backyard. For dogs or cats in your home, I'm safe, reliable, and respectful.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I grew up caring for them from a young age. I currently own an Akita Inu, a breed known for being independent, strong willed, and requiring consistent training and handling. That experience has taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog behavior in different situations. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including larger or more reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand every dog has their own routine, and I always take the time to follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, or overnight care, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every booking. I currently have an Akita Inu, so I’m experienced handling strong, independent breeds and understand canine body language and behavior. If your dog is staying in my home, I always introduce dogs carefully and can keep pets separated if needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: As a passionate animal lover, I have experienced a unique connection with dogs and kittens throughout my life. This special bond allows us to understand each other in a deep and meaningful way. Caring for and protecting animals has become second nature to me, as I feel an innate empathy towards them. My ability to communicate non-verbally with my furry friends enables me to understand their needs and provide the care and attention they deserve. For me, caring for animals is not just a responsibility, but a vocation that I carry out with love, dedication, and respect. My commitment is to ensure their well-being and happiness at all times, creating a safe and affectionate environment where they can thrive. I am here to be their protector and faithful friend, offering care filled with warmth and understanding. For me, the well-being of my pets is paramount. That's why I structure my daily routine with short intervals to take my pet for a walk, which makes him very happy and, of course, me too. This is why I easily adapt to the care routine of other pets, as I understand that attention is crucial for their well-being. "I am attentive to their behavior, provide quality time, play with them, and attend to their basic needs such as going to the bathroom, walking, eating, and more."
About: I grew up having 3 dogs and 3 cats. I always wanted that experience for my kids also. But not having any relatives in this country, I felt afraid to commit and have a pet. My 3 kids also love pets and are always asking to have one. We finally got a rabbit for my daughter which she loves extremely. But my boys really want to have a dog. I hope this experience of boarding or walking dogs and cats will allow my kids to enjoy pets as much as possible. They are all super friendly and love outdoors, hiking, walking around the neighborhood. We hope your pet will enjoy staying or walking with us. I work remotely from home and can take unlimited breaks from my computer to walk out your pet. My 4 years old son is also staying at home with a carrying nanny. We have a huge fenced yard and a park nearby. We also have a bunny at home who stays at my daughter’s room which can be locked not to let your pet in for safety.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Gateway is $20

Great walk with Alexandra! This was her first time watching Angus and Guinness, and she did a wonderful job getting to know both of them over the two days. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly comfortable with dogs of different personalities. Angus and Guinness came back happy from their walks. Will definitely book her again!
I have nothing but good things to say about Ion. Right away during the initial interaction our dog Dulce, who is normally timid with new people, immediately trusted him and felt comfortable around him. He showed up at the agreed times and took her on her walks and provided plenty of updates and photos and accommodated any requests. Would highly recommend Ion if you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like his own.
We are going to miss Talia! She has been so good to Willow. She came in last minute to help me walk her, she has been so flexible and very communicative! She sends pictures during walks, takes time to make sure Willow was settled in after each walk! We wish you the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Gateway is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Gateway. 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 Gateway 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 Gateway. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
