About: I've had pets since I was 6, ranging from an older Jack Russel Terrier, shy/abused German Shepherd/Rottweiler, and now a hyper Pitbull! I accept the personalities of all animals I currently work a full-time job. I have flexible lunch breaks and can contribute to care within the 11-1 PM schedule. I am available after 3:30 PM until 8 PM every weekday if given 2-3 days notice. On weekends, if I am not traveling, I can be flexible. I am an early riser!!! So if you need a 6 AM walk, I am SUPER happy to oblige. I'm available to take dogs on walks, supervise play time in a fenced in area, or adjust to whatever exercise your dog may need. I'm happy to feed and water them and provide care specific to their needs.

Mary is such a wonderful person and an absolute godsend as a dogwalker for my mother and Coco. She was always on time, in great spirits and took such good care of our dog. We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a caring and reliable dogwalker!

Drew has been a wonderful caregiver for Lilly. He is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring, and she absolutely loves him. He has been helping care for her since the day she came home to me, and I have always trusted him completely with her well-being. Drew also helped care for my previous dog, Addison, who has since passed away, and he showed the same compassion, kindness, and dedication with her. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. He is reliable, responsible, and attentive, and I always have peace of mind knowing Lilly is in his care. I would recommend Drew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter or dog walker

Cassandra was amazing! Reese our pup takes a little time to warm up but her presence with him, he felt comfortable with her right away! She is very knowledgeable and communicates very well. The pictures she took of reesey during the walk were the cutest ever! This was the first time we used her as our dog walker and we immediately booked her for more walks. Highly recommended! Use her!

About: I grew up with cats and a dogs, I now have a 2 year old cat. I love going on walks with dogs. I take care of my in-laws’ dogs and friend’s pets when they go out of town. I have a full time job from Monday to Friday but I have I some flexibility in the mornings and afternoons and can also adapt for different times if known in advance. I am free in the evenings and weekends as well.☺️ I can take care of multiple pets at a time in their owner’s house.

Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life (Rottweilers, Standard Poodles, and Shih Tzu). I have cared for my bunny rabbit for 10 years and my senior shih tzu for 3. I love animals and treat them kindly and respectfully. Your pet will be safe and happy with me! I am available on Saturday afternoons to Sunday (available all day Sundays!) for overnight boarding. I am available before 8:00 AM, from 12:00 PM - 1:00, and after 5:00 PM during the week for a walk or visit. I live in a two bedroom, non-smoking apartment. The apartment complex is dog friendly. There is a fenced dog park and large yard for walks. My 10 year old shih tzu uses steps to get on the couch so those are available as well.

About: I grew up with dogs from a young age and fell in love with taking care of them. As I got older and went to school, I was always happy to help friends and neighbors to look after their pets as well. Now, I’m happy to say that I’ve been a dog walker and pet mom for three years! I currently work full-time, but my schedule is variable and I’m more than happy to work pet care into my schedule. Whether it’s a walk or drop-in, I can usually find time to help! In your home, your pets know what’s best and most comfortable. I do my best to work with them and adjust to their needs accordingly based on what’s available and familiar to them in your space.

When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my entire adult life, and I love animals of all kinds. I also have experience caring for a chronically ill cat and am comfortable administering medications. I’m a freelancer and artist who works from home, so I can take care of your pets on days that I don’t have other responsibilities. Right now that’s mainly Fridays through Mondays, but if you need a different day or time reach out and I’ll be happy to work with you! My top priority is the safety and comfort of your pets. While I’m in your home or out walking your pets, I am committed to being attentive to your fur baby’s needs.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gristmill Woods

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 8,151 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gristmill Woods. 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 Gristmill Woods. 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 Gristmill Woods.

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 Gristmill Woods. On Rover:

  • 91% 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 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.
