“We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”

About: I love animals. Growing up with pets of all kinds I learned to appreciate them and recognize their needs. I know the importance of bonding with them and find great joy in forming that bond. I did domestic care for four years and my primary job was tending to the animals. I am trustworthy and caring and I will put the needs of your pet first. Every time. I have made pet care my priority. I presently work full time in pet car. I also love pet photography and offer that as a service I am available on a drop-in basis and I can make myself available for overnights and extended stays as well. Whatever you need, don't hesitate to ask. I have cleared my schedule to make myself available to tend to dogs and cats full-time. I will walk your dog or simply hang out with your pet, whichever you need. I will build a trust with you, and your pet will know. I look forward to meeting you. I am very conscientious and responsible. I lost my own dog of 14 years and this has opened the door for me to be able to tend to your dog or cat. I can only offer the same loving care that I showed my own dog.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I just want them to feel loved and cared for. If I could save all of them in this world, I would. I’ve taken care of nine cats at my mom’s house growing up my entire life. Had three pitbulls in the past, i love all the cuddles! I have experience in a variety of settings for pet care. From homing, rehoming, fostering to babysitting. I also work from home so your baby will be provided for.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My aspirations are to own or work for a dog care/training business. I volunteer part time at a local pet shelter. I look forward to helping dogs find good homes. My dogs at home are treated the same as my kids, full of love, exercise, and joy! I stay at home while my boys are away at school. My communication with animals is strong, but firm. Lots of belly rubs and kisses to go around. I believe every animal has their own personality so you need to let it shine through. My neighborhood is also quiet and dog friendly. I also live nearby two parks so there is lots of opportunity to take the dogs for long walks.

About: I’ve been caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—for over 20 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how much your pet means to you, and I strive to care for each one with patience, kindness, and attention. My hope is that your pet feels comfortable, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I offer house sitting and in-home care so your pet can stay in the comfort of their own home and keep their usual routine. I enjoy quiet, steady walks and always stay aware of our surroundings, making adjustments based on your pet’s needs and comfort level. Every walk and care routine is tailored to your pet’s personality, pace, and preferences. I also understand how hard it can be to be away from your furry family member, so I’m happy to send plenty of photo updates and messages to help you feel connected and reassured. You can trust that your pet will be cared for gently and thoughtfully, just as if they were my own. I'm employed full time with a flexible work from home schedule which will allow for me to care for your pet during the day (my breaks) as well as longer walks on my lunch break. I can also work with your schedule to do earlier morning shifts or later after work shifts. I have a puppy at home that we're still training, so I'd keep your pet close to your home/yard. I would ensure their safety by making sure to keep a tight handle on their leash as I look for upcoming obstacles (other dogs, kids, people, etc.) to make sure they're going to be ok on their walks. I would also closely monitor them as they go outside in their yard.

About: I have over four years of professional experience working in animal rescue, as well as a lifelong passion for animals. I have experience with and am comfortable handling dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and birds! I have medical experience and am particularly passionate and skilled at handling cats with medical/behavioral concerns. I can give injections, SQ fluids, and medications of all kinds. I also have experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes, even our largest of friends! I am comfortable handling and working with dogs with behavioral challenges including resource guarding, touch sensitivity, etc. I have a great deal of experience and passion for kitties with behavioral challenges as well. I have reliable transportation and would love to meet your furry (or feathered) family members! I currently work 9-5 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am generally home the other days of the week, I have lots of flexibility and have my own car for transportation. I am very diligent about monitoring for our friends who are escape artists. I am happy to be patient with any shy/nervous/aggressive pets and meet them where they're at. I have sat for strangers, friends, and family members and care for homeless animals daily. My goal is to provide your pets with as much normalcy and comfort as possible!

Mirna is amazing! Milo looks forward to his walks with Mirna because she lets him take walk at his own pace and is so sweet around him. We look forward to her "Rover Card" every day because she is very detailed with her notes and you can not only tell she has experience with dogs, but also loves them. Thanks for everything you do.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Golf

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Golf is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $25 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 October 2026, there are 12,550 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Golf. 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 Golf. 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 , 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 Golf 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golf. On Rover:

  • 86% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
