About: I bring more than 10 years of professional dog training experience and am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — including large breeds, high-energy working dogs, and bully breeds. I spent 10 years as a professional dog trainer and have extensive hands-on experience with obedience, behavior, handling, and working dogs. I’ve competed with my own dogs in obedience, agility, and Schutzhund, and previously managed a kennel specializing in German Shepherds. I also have experience personally training dogs for police work. Because of my background, I’m confident handling strong, energetic, highly driven, or more challenging dogs that may not be a good fit for every sitter. I understand canine body language, proper handling, structure, and the importance of maintaining the routines and expectations your dog is accustomed to. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy dogs and want owners to feel confident that their dog is being cared for by someone with extensive real-world experience. I currently have a light work schedule so I’m looking to walk dogs during the day. Can also accommodate mornings or evenings if and when needed Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. With my professional training background, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, safely handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and recognizing potential issues before they become a problem. For walks, I use safe, controlled handling and follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for your dog in your home, I respect your space and work to keep their environment and schedule as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable with large, strong, high-energy, and working breeds and will always treat your dog as an individual.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I treat every pet like family. As a future nursing student and lifelong animal lover, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling feeding routines, medications, walks, playtimes, and lots of affection. I currently have a very flexible schedule for the summer and am available for drop ins and walks throughout the week. Once I begin school in the fall, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll continue to keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling, and always happy to work with pet parents to find a time that works for both. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before walks or potty breaks to ensure safety. I respect each client’s homes, and make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. I also make sure to provide detailed updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. Have owned dogs, fostered rescues, and cared for fish and salamanders—so understand that every pet is unique and deserves attentive, loving care. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just some comforting company, will treat your pets like family. You can count on us to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away! I work from home along with my wife Kerry. Dogs will be taken out for walks, and we are near several parks. If dogs are sociable, there is a dog park they can be taken to nearby. Pets will be let outside on a leash and supervised. Can crate if necessary, if this is a comfort to the animal. Sections of the house are blocked off to keep them in controlled areas.

About: I run my own business from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. I really love walking and running outside. I would love to bring a little companion with me to explore the sights and sounds of the outdoors. My daughter and I are interested in working together in the future with caring for and walking dogs. Being my own boss, I have the availability to schedule my work calls around my time with your pets. I am open to repeat days of the week I don’t have any pets at home right now. I grew up with dogs and had my own beloved dog for years. Unfortunately, Alex passed. I am looking forward to bonding with another furry friend.

About: Hi! I’m Brianne, and I’m one of those people who gets genuinely excited every time I meet a new animal. 🐾 I love pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior snugglers and independent cats to the ones who insist on being your personal shadow. As a longtime pet owner myself, I know that every animal comes with their own personality, routine, and little quirks. My golden retriever, Walter, has given me plenty of experience with the adventures that come with dog ownership, and I also have a very needy cat who has made sure I’m equally well-trained in the feline department. 😂 I’m certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so safety is always a priority. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, routines, medications and care instructions, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of patience, attention, affection, and probably way too many pictures. I can’t wait to meet your little (or not-so-little) cuties! 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work full-time from home (7a-4p), but I have flexibility for walks and visits throughout the day. I love to get outside whenever I can! I have a fenced in yard, where my puppy loves to run and play. My house is already puppy-proof, and ready for more fur friends!

I spend about 80% of my time with the pets, if I ever need to run out you can rest assured that they are in great care with him as well. They are never left alone except for maybe an hour or so if we have church. As far as drop in service that would only be myself.

I have plenty of space if you would like to bring your own crate. When in your home I am respectful of you mr environment but I also keep an eye on details while your gone to make sure that your home and pet are safe and secure.

About: Se habla español / すこしにほんごをしっています I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from wild puppies to gentle seniors. With experience handling both small and large dogs, I know how to balance fun, structure, and patience to help every pup feel safe and happy. I own a high-energy Portuguese Water Dog and grew up with calm, funny pugs, so I’m comfortable adapting to all personalities, energy levels, and sizes. My schedule is flexible and I can work around most pup’s schedules and needs. I am unavailable on Tuesdays, but available the rest of the week! My motto is to always love and care for others as if it was my own, no matter the personality or need. They are like people: they need intentionality, care, attention, and love, and some of the ways I try to incorporate that into my regular care is by wiping their paws and mouth with dog safe wipes after a walk/outdoor time. My dog is like my son to me, and I want to offer the same kind of love and care to those that might need extra help with walks throughout the week.

About: After traveling thousands of miles and leaving my home country, I also had to leave my little pet in the care of the most important person in my life, my mom. My dog has always been my greatest emotional support, and being apart from him inspired me to stay connected to the love, energy, and purity that pets bring into our lives. I want to care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them all the affection, attention, and respect they deserve. I am currently dedicating myself full-time to pet care. This allows me to be 100% available to take care of your pets throughout the week. For now, I’m available 24/7 and fully committed to giving them the attention and care they need. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while in your home. I ensure they’re in a familiar environment, maintaining their routine to reduce any stress. During walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid potential hazards. I respect your home, following any specific guidelines you provide, and ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to create a trustworthy and safe experience for both you and your furry friend!

Kristy is the absolute best. Her summary of her walks with our dog and the photos we get are 10/10. I feel so comfortable knowing our dog is in good hands when Kristy comes over. They have their little ritual of stopping at a treat stand in our neighborhood. There have been a few times where we’ve needed her help last minute or to come back in the same day since our schedules changed, and she’s always so willing to help us out if she can! We love Kristy!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Geneva

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Geneva is $27 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.

As of November 2026, there are 12,378 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Geneva. 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 Geneva. 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 Geneva 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 Geneva. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
