“Liv has been nothing but great to us and our dog! She is our regular weekday dog walker and communicates well, is on time, and most importantly is adored by our dog. She was also great and very knowledgeable when meeting our sometimes aggressive dog. She asked all the right questions and did all the right things during the meet and greet; I was so impressed. Would 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, with it being cats, dogs, or even lizards, crabs, and rats. I enjoy quality time with any pet and learning what they need for care. I have trained dogs. I work from home currently, giving me a lot of time with pets. With my work I can stop and start as I please, so any attention that your pet needs is immediately given! I live near many trails and a very walkable area so your dog will get as much exercise as needed. I also have two cats and a dog if your dog needs more company. I’m able to put cats in a separate room if needed aswell.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life of all shapes, sizes, personalities and needs. From outgoing pets to shy pets, there isn’t a dog or cat I don’t love. I work hard to get to know your pet individually so that they get just what they need whether that’s lots of pets, some quiet alone time, or some fun play time. For every visit or walk I provide photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder what’s going on. I am also able to stick to any routine or training regimen that you’re working on. I work night shift three days a week and only watch pets on my off days, so those days are totally dedicated to pet time, including for my own Goldendoodle. I follow your instructions exactly to make sure not only that your pet feels safe and comfortable, but that you also feel comfortable with their care.
“Elizabeth has been such a great proactive part of loving and making sure my pup gets enough exercise. He is always so happy to see her and she is so committed to taking him on walks in good and bad weather.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and taken active care of a variety of animals since the age of 10. I have experience with young and old animals alike and am willing to care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I’m a recent master’s graduate, and I have lots of flexibility for you and your fur baby or babies! Willing to work most nights, weekends, and holidays. I have a friendly orange cat at home and a reliable car to travel to wherever is needed for your family. I’m located near a dog park.
“Fiona was patient and caring with our pup, Cammie. I appreciate her going the extra mile to make her feel comfortable and being flexible when navigating some challenges with our door code. We hope to use her again in the future!”
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.
About: I have an abundance of pet care experience. I muck stalls, trained horses as a teen, and often go to help my mom care for her horse barn in Tennessee. I trained my childhood dogs in a professional setting and have trained all of my pets very well. I understand pet non verbal communication and help them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with acquatic turtles, cleaning tanks, and feedings. I have experience with large breeds and small breeds. I am available evenings, lunchtimes, and weekends for drop in care or walking. I am willing to take dogs for hikes as well. I am willing to spend time with the pet and give them lots of love. I make sure all pets are comfortable and happy. Healthy pets are very important to me. I believe all animals deserve to feel loved and safe. I know the importance of consistency in routine for animals. Their dependence on humans is not to be taken lightly.
“This is our second time working with Sora for our puppy Hans. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a thoughtful, responsible, and communicative person to watch their pup!”
“Mercedes was amazing! Communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walk (which is what we had her for). She listened how we wanted our dog walked (training wise) and she enforced the "rules" but had fun in the process. Highly highly recommend!”
“Charlotte was fantastic! She gave our pup plenty of exercise, love, and attention while we were away for the day. We came back to a very happy dog. I would absolutely book with Charlotte again!”
About: I am very passionate about animals and their happiness. I grew up with 3 dogs and have dog-sat since I've been 13. I made it a small business in high school, like babysitting, but for dogs. I look forward to getting to know your best friend and make my home theirs. Taking care of dogs is my dream job and couldn't be more excited! Since I will be home a majority of the time I will be able to give your dog the love, attention, and care that they need. I can give them walks at least 3 times a day and be around whenever they need to be fed or even just play. I can't wait to meet your pet and for them to meet my energetic and loving self!
About: I’m fun and reliable. You can relax knowing that I’ll have fun with your pet and they’ll enjoy their time. I’ve been looking after people’s pets for around 20 years as well as having my own (: I can come in before work (I work at 8am) or stop in after work as well (5pm). Excited to work with you to make it easy for you! I will not be offering house sitting services - my apologies I have an older cat and it wouldn’t work out to house sit. However I can come do drop ins!
About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals all my life. I have house sat, dog walked, cat sat, etc. I have been on Rover as a sitter since mid 2018 and watched dozens of people’s pets, many have become return clients which I love! I love giving hugs in return for puppy (and kitty) kisses and playtime, and of course goes the same with cats. Dogs and cats make me happy no matter what mood I am in. I also am a great photographer, especially when it comes to pets, so you can expect plenty of photos if you'd like. =) I love keeping pets active and being outdoors, so walks and trips to the park are always okay with me! I can't wait to meet you and your fluffy, furry friend! I know that animals need love just as much as humans do. =) **Please note: I do not board pets at my house unfortunately at this time, as I have a cat that doesn’t get along with other animals. So I would have to house sit at your home. At the moment I work full time remote, but do have to meet clients here and there around town, so if you are needing someone around consistently, I may not be the best fit. Please clarify how long the pet(s) can be left alone when requesting to book, as I want to be certain it’s a good fit for both parties! I’m constantly keeping you updated on everything and always have a close eye on your pet to ensure they are safe and healthy in your home. Expect plenty of photos 😊

Ryan was so great with our dog!!! He was always punctual, had great communication, and was a great match to her high energy! Whenever changes in our schedule came up he was super responsive and we felt confident trusting him with our sweet pup! Highly highly recommend!!
Liv is amazing. If you want an amazing human taking care of your precious family member she is your go to! I was in town as a travel RN and she was amazing with my girl Sage for the last 3 months! She is caring and will go the extra mile in making sure your dog is well cared for with excellent communication and updates. I would for sure use Liv again for weekly walks as well as for overnight stays with your pet. We will miss you tons! You were absolutely the highlight of Sages assignment🥰
Martha has been incredibly helpful, reliable, and genuinely caring with my dogs, who can be high energy and reactive on walks. I know my girls are safe and comfortable when she comes to visit them. Martha has also been flexible and accommodating with my changing schedule, which I truly appreciate!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Golden is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $41 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 13,011 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Golden. 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 Golden. 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 Golden 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 Golden. 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.
