About: I have always been a reliable neighbor in taking care of their pets when needed wether that would be extended periods of time or once. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I care for my pets at home as well as in college for animals from local shelters. I will make sure that they are not forgotten. I will make sure they’re fed, clean, loved and hydrated. They will feel right at home!

“We decided to try Rover in our neighborhood for the first time to help Astro get some extra exercise, and we’re so glad we found Shiva! She walked him daily over the past two weeks and was always punctual, reliable, and great about sending updates and plenty of photos, even during his one-hour walks. It gave us peace of mind knowing Astro was in good hands. Highly recommend Shiva!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve grown up around pets and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’d like to say I graduated from TikTok University with a degree in pet care. I’m attentive, patient, and big on keeping things clean and sticking to each pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease! I recently graduated from VCU and am looking for a fun and fulfilling way to spend my free time doing something I genuinely love! I have a huge soft spot for animals and would love to help take care of yours. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! When someone else is caring for my own cats, I know how reassuring it is to receive pictures and updates throughout the day, so I make it a priority to do the same for you! I believe in treating others the way I’d want to be treated, and that means keeping you in the loop, respecting your home and instructions, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect regular updates, cute pictures, and the peace of mind of knowing your fur baby is in good hands!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a proud dog mom to Chiki and Copito, two Chihuahuas whose parents are also part of my family. I was there throughout their mother’s pregnancy, helped her during delivery, and experienced firsthand the joy and responsibility of caring for newborn puppies. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, gaining experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. Copito is deaf, which has taught me to be especially patient, attentive, and mindful of how each dog communicates. I understand that every dog is a beloved family member, and I provide the same gentle, loving, and personalized care that I give my own. I work full-time from home, so having dogs around is already part of my everyday life! My schedule allows me to offer boarding and daycare during the week and on weekends. I can also arrange drop-in visits and walks around my work schedule. I’m happy to discuss specific times and find something that works for everyone. I have a cozy, dog-friendly home with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I share my home with two Chihuahuas, but they can stay with their dad if your dog is more comfortable being the only pet. I always make sure introductions are appropriate and never leave unfamiliar dogs together unsupervised. When caring for pets in their own homes, I’m respectful of their space and careful to follow the owner’s instructions, especially when it comes to doors, gates, and keeping pets secure.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them! I have three dogs and a cat of my own, all with different personalities; from happy-go-lucky to a little shy. I love walks, exploring new (and old) places, and playtime with pups. I treat every dog like family, so your furry friend will get all the love, attention, and care they deserve while with me! I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I’m usually home by 5:30 the rest of the weekdays. I’m available most weekends, so please reach out! I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m experienced caring for multiple pets at once and dogs of all sizes, including large breeds.

About: Hi there! I’m a physical therapist by profession and a lifelong dog lover at heart! I bring a caring, patient, and attentive approach to everything I do, and I’d love the opportunity to give your furry family member that same level of care. My background in physical therapy has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and understanding individual needs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your pup will always be treated like family! Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently transitioning into a part-time work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I have a fairly open schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting based on your needs. I enjoy staying active and would love to make spending time with your pets a regular part of my routine. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly. As a physical therapist, I’ve developed a strong attention to detail, patience, and a caring approach to working with others. I believe in creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I will always respect your instructions, your pet’s individual needs, and your home as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I truly value!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a while and genuinely really enjoy it. I’ve taken care of dogs with all kinds of personalities, from super energetic and playful to the ones that just want to hang out and sleep all day lol. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding, and I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and feels comfortable with me, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. Since I’m in school and only working part time, I have plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and consistent care. I enjoy using that time to be active and spend it with pets, so it’s a perfect fit for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of attention, playtime, and care as if they were my own.

Susan was wonderful. Our dog was battling cancer and required extra patience, attention, and assistance with her mobility. I’m glad that she had Susan and her daughter Lucy to love on her in her last weeks of life. Thank you Susan!!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Great Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Great Falls is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $42 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 16,060 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Great Falls. 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 Great Falls. 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 Great Falls 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 Great Falls. 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.
