About: I have three years of pet care experience and love keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs and committed to providing loving, dependable care. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability for pet care, including weekday visits and walks. I’m happy to coordinate schedules that work best for you and your pet. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I take time to build trust with each animal and provide attentive, loving care based on their individual needs and routine.
About: Familiar with quality routine dog care. We have also cared for our own senior dog. Love for dogs to get out for walks and play. Our schedules vary. I work part time nearby and my husband works nearby. We can discuss you and your pet’s needs to create a plan. We have no pets, so we can give individual attention without worrying about jealousy or feuding. We have no fence, but have a large yard. We are happy to leash walk for potty time and/or exercise.
“Bridget was amazing! Our dog Luna loved her. She was reliable and very sweet to our wild dog. She actually went out of her way to help us when she noticed an ant problem while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”


About: I have owned dogs ranging from 5-120 lbs throughout my life. We have fostered shy dogs, ferals, energetic dogs, and everything in-between. Just last year we fostered 22 dogs, some for up to 6 months! I am familiar with administering time sensitive medication, and I am perfectly confident with specific instructions for care. I have a dog wash set-up that we utilize for our own furry friends, and I would be happy to extend that to yours as well! I spend intentional, one on one time with every dog that stays with us and or is receiving home visits, and I make sure they have plenty of play time, couch time, and playful interaction with other dogs (if they're social!). Your fur baby will feel like they're on a mini vacation. Confident with senior dogs, nervous dogs, large and xl breeds. If your dog likes to go on outings, we love going on hikes, walking trails, and dog-friendly establishments with our furry friends! I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am able to give a ton of one on one time to each dog that is in my care. I love taking them on walks, too, so if that is something your pet needs, please let me know! I have a fully fenced back yard, and 1 dog of my own. He is fixed and gets along very well with the ladies, but he likes to be the only boy. If my services are requested for a male dog, I am able to keep them separated with 100% confidence. If your dog gets along with other dogs, they will absolutely be able to run around in our yard. I have experience with intact males and females as well as spayed/neutered ones, and can and will keep dogs separate if needed/wanted. We have a dog bath, brushes, blankets, toys, and balls, but please feel free to bring your own! While I do have cats, they are kept separate from the dogs, so there is no risk of them interacting.
About: I accept dogs, cats, and rodents (Rats, ferrets, ect)! I've taken care of all kinds of animals throughout the years, studying their body language and health signs to know and understand them, every animal is different and has their own personality, even then I've learned to connect with each through caring for them, training, and more! I'm currently very free! I don't have anything holding me back from being the best caretaker for your pets as I can be, I'm free every day of the week! I have a fenced yard and lots of toys and entertainment, though I am not currently looking to bring animals into my own home! In your home I can do my best work, letting out on a schedule, feeding at feeding times, playing and entertainment and any medications they may need! All animals are different, some may have different quirks or traits that need extra care or special routines that I can follow!
About: My name is Jorineè and I am a certified veterinarian’s assistant. I have been certified for about 3 years now. I’ve received my experience while working at a veterinary hospital to help pursue my passion for helping animals. I am pretty flexible this is my full time job. I am fully available throughout the week. Your pet will definitely be in good hands. Contact me in advance because I am always able to work around schedules. I will follow directions given by pet parents and if any special needs are needed to be met I am always willing to accommodate your pets needs.
About: We have always had pets growing up. Both cats and dogs. I've had a pit bull in my early teens and had also adopted a 10yr old senior dog. I have experience giving my senior medicine and being extra gentle when it is needed. I currently have a reactive German Shepherd so if you're looking for someone to watch your big dog that pulls a lot, I have tons of experience and am strong enough to hold him or her. Basically I have had experience with animals in different stages of their life. Im still learning as Odin has training classes and I use what I learn to help with other pets. I've watched pets for friends and family in the past and have done drop in visits for years now. I am able to travel further distances if you aren't able to find someone local just send a message. I do work full-time so I can come before or after work through out the week. I'm off two days out of the week and if you would like to schedule a weekly walk schedule or drop in visit I will work closely with you to make my schedule accommodating for your pet. Ex. If you would like a certain day or if the week for me to walk and visit your dog I can request those days off if far enough in advance. Currently I am not doing overnight visits or day care but it's important to keep pets on their original schedule. For drop-in visits and walks, I think it would be best to stick to their original route and if they don't yet have one, a walk with a nice game of fetch is usually good enough to tire them out a bit. I will always send pictures when your pet and I are on our adventures together.
“Kayla was great with our two Golden’s the week our regular walker was on vacation. She walked them both and sent daily pictures and dog “duty” report cards. She would be great with your furbabies.”

About: I’ve had a family dog for 10 years that we walk everyday. I have been dog sitting for 7 years and love it every time. I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs from 4 week old puppies to a 160lb English mastiff. I will walk, feed, bathe, play, and love your dog while you can’t. I am an architecture student at Harvard. I love dogs and have a somewhat flexible class schedule to take care of yours! I can’t wait to have a dog of my own but shorter term stays with pets is the best I can manage at the moment. For services at your home, I’d treat your space with respect and courtesy. I’m thankful for your trust to let me into your home and would care for your pets however you see fit.

About: I have had a dog within my household for as long as I can remember! Starting from before I can walk (seriously) up until now! Taking care of dogs is 2nd nature to me since I’ve done it for so long! As of right now I’m available everyday until further notice! I work in construction so summers get busier than winters, and right now it’s been raining everyday so it gives me a lot of free time! I have a fenced in backyard for when my three dogs are outside. When they are inside I have beds for each of them to sleep in when it’s time for bed. They also have crates that I use for them only when I am leaving the house for a while in order for any accidents or unnecessary destruction of furniture.
About: I have had a lot of experience since my teens and I continue to have a constant bond with animals. My newest edition is a Bern doodle. I have a wonderful home for your fur babies and sometimes watch my fur grandbabies also . So they can have interaction with them and me .

I’ll care for them in the comfort of their own home, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they get the attention they need while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and will ask plenty of questions up front so I can care for your dog the way you do.

I’ll follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, respect your home, and send regular updates so you know how your dog is doing.
About: I worked in an animal hospital for a couple of years. I have watched furbabies (cats and dogs) of family and friends for many years and even have office dogs at my job! I am mainly available during the weekends but can occasionally do evenings during the weekdays after my full time job. I work from home during Fridays so I am fully available then too. I would prefer to pet sit in an environment that your furbaby is already familiar with aka your home! I’d also be happy to take them (dogs) to a park or trail for them to explore as I love taking long walks.
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for years in different sizes and different care needs. I have watched dogs and cats for family members for days at a time I work from home and can keep an eye on the pets the whole time and take breaks for having to go at anytime that they need. I can feed them and give them medication if necessary. Also no open foods or dangerous things for them to get into. I also do not smoke and have a temperature controlled house

About: I’ve always loved taking care of my furry and not so furry friends!! I grew up in a home full of dogs and a vast range of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and other aquatic life etc. I’m currently working from home so my schedule is generally open as far as Monday-Friday. I’m available throughout the entire weekend as well. I like to keep the animals in my care on a schedule so they aren’t stressed, I prioritize (the animal’s) comfortability and structure because that’s just what makes sense. It’s my duty to ensure your furry friend can have fun AND be safe so please bombard me with any and all information!!!
About: I am 28 years old and I have experience taking care of 1 dog and 3 cats. I raised and trained him from a puppy and I would love to be able to help other families with their pet needs. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live across the street from a dog-friendly park and bike trail. As an avid dog lover, I will make sure your pet receives his/her adequate amount of exercise and play within a safe environment.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hammond is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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.

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 Hammond. 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 Hammond 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 Hammond. 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.
