Darcy just adores Ben! He is caring and firm. Even my hyper lab listens to him and follows his directions. She loves seeing him and spending time with Ben.

Mary Ann is extremely dependable and demonstrates her compassion for the time spent with Dundee. I appreciate her letting me know not just the time she has spent, but also any things she has taken notice of while walking Dundee. She is amazing with Dundee.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

Laurie is a very important part of my beloved Frisbee. Her updates give me joy during my stressful days at work. We truly love her knowledge on how to ensure our pet is on the right path to a healthy balance.

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have two dogs of my own and understand the importance of providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. I have experience with: 🐾 Walking and exercising dogs (small to medium-sized or well-mannered larger dogs) 🐾 Providing enrichment, playtime, and plenty of snuggles 🐾 Drop-in visits for cats and dogs, including litter box maintenance and meal routines I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine! Whether it’s taking my own dogs for walks, providing playtime, or giving lots of cuddles, I’m always surrounded by furry friends. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the day. I prioritize keeping pets happy and comfortable, whether that means sticking to their usual routine, going on fun walks, or giving them extra attention while their owners are away. I do not have a lot of reviews on rover but I have clients that I see on a weekly basis that can provide testimonials about the care I provide to their furry family members. I provide loving and reliable care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for feeding, playtime, or walks, I ensure that each pet’s routine is maintained as much as possible. For dog walking, I make sure they get the exercise and attention they need while being mindful of their individual energy levels. When caring for cats, I’ll make sure they’re fed, have clean litter boxes, and get some extra playtime or snuggles, depending on their personality. I always prioritize creating a calm and safe environment for pets while their owners are away, and I’m happy to provide updates with pictures and videos!

I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions.

Came on time to meet us and our dog. Arrived on time even on a very hot day to walk, feed and play with our dog. My son (in a wheelchair so he can't walk him) was here and said she treated our dog so well the whole time and really seemed to enjoy him. She is just what we want for someone caring for our dog. We feel very comfortable having her come while we have to be away for a day!! I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 10 years. I’ve had both cats and dogs and have always had a deep love for them since I was younger. I’ve had a chance to understand when dogs and cats are stressed versus happy, when they need hugs and rubs versus when they need space. When they need to be taken out versus when they are just excited. I know that every pet may require different attention and I’m committed to learning your fur baby. I have a flexible schedule where I can navigate non traditionally. It varies but I’m also available last minute which I feel can be useful. At home I believe in maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. More importantly providing them with the same love of not more you as their owners provide. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and the companionship they need to feel happy and secure. I also take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs so I can give them the best care possible. My goal is for every pet to feel like a part of the family while they’re in my care.

About: I have been raised in an animal loving family with many different pets and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals for years now! I am currently a student athlete at a small d3 school and do classes year long.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hartwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hartwood on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,707 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hartwood. 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 Hartwood. 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 Hartwood.

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 Hartwood. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
