Shannon is excellent! She stopped by for a Meet & Greet the day before and did a wonderful job with introducing herself to our two pups, one of which is very timid around people. Shannon's gentle manner won her over quickly. She also communicated with me the day of the walk and took them out for over 30 minutes and almost a mile. It made me so happy to see my beloved pups taken care of so well. If I lived in Buffalo, you can rest assured she'd be my pet sitter of choice! We are here for a few days on an RV tour, and I really appreciated how well Shannon took care of our pups.

Noelle is the best! Chase is a nervous boy and Noelle did everything to make him feel as comfortable as possible. He loves her. I feel stress free knowing that she is going to visit Chase while I am at school:)

About: If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and knowledgeable to keep your pet content, safe, and occupied, and to keep your mind at ease while you’re away, look no further! I will house sit for or check in on any type of animal! I have taken care of all kinds of pets including rats, reptiles, tarantulas, ferrets, cats, dogs, and more since a teen. I have experience with volunteering at cat shelters, administering medications, first aid, and rescues. I am first aid certified which also teaches how to perform CPR on dogs. This is my second year pet sitting on the Rover app. I will also make sure any pet messes and toys are tidied before you arrive home every time! ***If you need a sitter for a small animal please book as a cat and then specify in your message to me the species and specific care needs. I have weekend and evening availability, so I can watch your beloved pets while you go on a weekend getaway! I can also do stop ins before 8 am, mid day, and after 4 during the week for feedings and walks. I can do pick ups, drop offs, and overnights weekends, evenings, and holidays. I have a unfenced yard where I will walk your pups. I am also close to parks and the river where I can take them to play. I have both medium and large sized crates, and plenty of extra pet supplies. I will also brush and bathe your babies and administer medications as needed. I don’t mind if your dog doesn’t like other animals and will take special care when walking in the neighborhood. Your pets will be in good hands!

She was amazing! She cared for my heavy puller and was great with him. She kept me updated on everything and made sure I was able to relax with my dog having a walker for the first time. She was wonderful, would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!

I have a large, energetic 80 lb Saint Berdoodle (Archie), and I specifically hired Ian because Archie needs more enrichment, structure, and help with his manners—especially his habit of jumping on people at home and on walks. From our very first meet-and-greet, I could tell Ian knew exactly how to handle a rambunctious dog. He was calm, confident, and immediately comfortable managing Archie’s energy. He even offered helpful suggestions for training and recommended calming treats, which I really appreciated. Ian has walked Archie several times now, and he’s been consistently reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. It’s such a relief knowing Archie is in good hands and getting both exercise and guidance. I highly recommend Ian to anyone with a high-energy or large dog who needs not just a walk, but someone who understands behavior and structure.

About: I’ve taken care of a couple different dogs for around three to four years now doing basic care takings needs such as playing, walking, and feeding. I have also had a Shih tzu of my own for 3 years now. I work part time and I am a full time student. My summer schedule has classes and work several days of the week. I’m generally free most mornings and after 9pm on days I work. I let my dog walk around our home freely. However in our backyard I have a leash for him so he can walk around while not being able to run off! When I am dog watching when I am away I would crate the dog if im gone for several hours and let them roam if its for a short amount of time.

About: I have trained 2 dogs from puppyhood. We recently lost our beautiful lab/Shepard rescue, Dianna to heart failure. She loved her walks and we miss her dearly.

About: My biggest concern while I’m away on vacation is “how are my dogs doing?” They are like my children. I have used Rover in the past to watch my dogs and home while I’m on vacation. I want to be that trustworthy person for someone else. I have ALWAYS been an animal lover! I have rescued dogs, I’ve fostered dogs and watched dogs for friends and family. I have two Golden Retrievers at home who love to have company come over and play in the fenced in backyard. I am looking forward to taking care of your Furbaby like they are my own I work Full-time but am able to leave for lunch to take care of any pets needs during the day. Right now I go home everyday on lunch and spend time with my dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 Golden Retrievers who love to have company! At this time, if I watch your dog in my home, he/she would need to be crated while I’m at work. They would be crated no longer than 4 hours unless I make other arrangements with my job, where I could come home more frequently.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need plenty of play and structure to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves individualized attention. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I also have experience caring for pets with disabilities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I'm currently seeking a full-time position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I'm committed to accommodating your pet's routine and will communicate with you regularly to ensure you have peace of mind while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet's schedule, personality, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best possible care. During visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs, whether that means a long walk, extra cuddle time, or a slower pace for senior or special-needs pets. I also keep litter boxes clean, clean up after pets, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Grand Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Grand Island on Rover is $22.2 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 885 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Grand Island. 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 Grand Island. 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 Grand Island.

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 Grand Island. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
