Would definitely recommend Alexa. She was able to accommodate my request within just over 24 hours which was greatly appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and felt like I could trust her. Ella seemed to have a good time!

About: I have over 3 years of professional pet care experience through my roles at PetSmart, where I cared for pets, monitored their health and behavior, maintained a safe and clean environment for all of the animals we cared for in store as well as the ones pet parent's would bring in. I am certified in Dog and Cat CPR and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with energetic puppies, senior dogs, playful kittens, and shy or nervous pets who need extra patience and attention. During my time at PetSmart, I regularly cared for kittens in the adoption center and learned how important it is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have also raised puppies of my own and helped care for pets belonging to family and friends. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention while you're away, I will treat them as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet, so I provide reliable care, plenty of updates, and open communication every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! ***I offer discounts, Ask me!*** Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, medication reminders, or simply keeping your pet company. I understand that every pet has different needs and will do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 3 years of experience working at PetSmart, I’m familiar with a variety of pet personalities and behaviors. I carefully follow all care instructions, provide regular updates, and take the time to build trust with each pet. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during drop-in visits, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own cat, Luna.

Ashley is truly an exceptional professional - our cat and dog were well looked after and we could not have asked for a better person to help us out, especially given the short notice with the holiday.

About: My next door neighbor had me take care of their dog, Brownie. He was an old man, but still a good boy! I would make drop-in visits to make sure he was fed and given his medicine which he did such a good job with taking it around me, and I would also take him outside for bathroom breaks. Milo was another dog I took care of recently, and unlike Brownie, she was young, and also loud just like any other husky, but similar to Brownie, she was good girl. This time she had to live with me at my house, but she was no problem at all. I would take her outside at least two hours a day and give her walks around my neighborhood. I would also let her sleep on my bed and she'd wake me up by licking my face every morning to start the day. Feeding her wasn't a problem either. In fact, taking so much time out of my day to take care of just any other dog is never a problem for me! My recent pet care was for a Siberian Husky named Milo. After taking care of her cats, my sister asked me to take care of Milo for a friend who was away last December. Milo was a big dog, but she wasn't anything I had trouble handling. She was a fun and good girl, and I made sure she was taken outside every two hours of every day and also made sure she was given food and water and would refill both when I see that they're almost empty. Pet care comes first for me and I would take plenty of time out of my day to give pets the love and attention they need while family is away. I have a yard but it isn't fenced. However, I will be outside with your dog if they ever need to go, and keep an eye and/or leash on them if necessary. I did the same for my own dog, Macy. Unfortunately, my home doesn't have any other dogs that yours could socialize with since Macy passed away, but with me around, your baby should never feel alone! If I were to take care of your pet at your home (and if necessary), I could also tidy up the inside of your house to the point where I was never even there once you have come back from your trip.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in elementary school. Cats, dogs, spiders, lizards, birds, the works. I love interacting with animals and learning about them. I have experience with both young and older pets. I take pride in the scheduling skills for walks, feeding, and any other tasked for you lovely critters. I am able to be there for morning, afternoons, and evenings. If it is a pet that needs house sitting I am able to do that as well. I am a college student and have classes in the midday and afternoon on Monday and Wednesdays. I have church Sundays morning as well, but otherwise almost always available. I have a lot of pets in my home. I have a large Dalmatian, both an old and a young cat, rabbits, and turtles. I can am able to crate animals as needed as well clean up after them with practice from my own home. I am able to clip cat's nails and any grooming needs. I know some pets need more exercise so I can go on long walks as needed.

Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience as a former dog owner. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy learning each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m also interested in animal behavior and care, so I see pet sitting as an opportunity to continue learning while giving pets the same love and attention I would give my own. As a full-time college student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to care for pets around my class schedule. I plan ahead to make sure I can dedicate enough time and attention to each pet I care for. When you leave your pet in my care, I want you to feel confident knowing they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect, keeping things clean and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment where your pet can feel at home while you're away! I have dog sat for family, friends, and even neighbors for a little over 4 years now! I’ve always wanted a pet myself but never had a chance to so I disperse my love and affection for all pets! I understand that every pet has different needs between playtime, walks, needing a specific schedule. I will make sure that whatever the need may be, I will follow it as closely as possible so that they can feel as comfortable as possible. I believe that communication is very important so I will always provide updates, pictures, and etc so that you can have peace of mind at all times! My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work with the government on a schedule where I choose the days and times that I work! Shifts are not available everyday so in the free time that I have, I love to pet sit! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, supervised environment and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. There are no other pets in my home and no children present! Pets can be crated if needed and they are not often left alone (if cannot be left alone at all then your pet will not be left alone!).

I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.

About: I was an owner of a 8yr old Cane Corso who has now passed away from bone cancer. She has had 2 litters whom I cared for. 7 puppies each litter for 8 weeks was such an amazing experience! We have 4 sons and she was always attached to our 3rd son’s hip. We also rescued a beautiful cat, Misaki, who is now 1 1/2. My youngest son begged us for her and she has claimed me. She is the most sweetest thing and loves to cuddle. She follows me everywhere which we should have named her Shadow. If I could bring all the animals into my home I truly would! Myself and my youngest boys ages 16 & 15 would love to care for your animals as we would our own! We now have Briahs grandson Deuce is now 1 1/2 and is huge and a ball of fun! I’m currently a homeschool mom for I’m very flexible. I work part time but I’m available at anytime. I will make sure your babies are well taken care of! I am available three times a day for services and anytime you need your babies needs met. If they need play time we can do that or even just a belly rub after dinner :)

About: I have always been a big animal lover. I got my first dog when I turned 2 years old and did everything I could to help take care of her. I got another dog a couple of years later who became my best friend. Before I left for college he would come everywhere with me. I am now the happy and proud owner of a 6 and 12 year old cat and want to continue growing my pet family. In addition to growing up taking care of my own pets I had the responsibility of pet sitting for a lot of different families in my neighborhood. I have worked as a client service representative and now as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital and have been able to gain knowledge and experience about pet healthcare and wellbeing beyond the general scope. I will always do my absolute best to make sure your animals are happy and healthy. I love pets of every kind and would be happy to help you take care of yours if the need ever arises! I am currently a full time employee at an animal hospital. I would be available to do drop ins before and after work and am happy to do overnight visits as long as the owner is aware I will have to leave for around 8 hours to work. Establishing trust with a pet is the most important thing you can do to ensure they are happy and healthy. I will be sure to provide individualized care for your pet depending on their needs and temperament to ensure they are as mentally and physically comfortable as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Harwood 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 15,098 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Harwood. 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 Harwood. 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 Harwood.

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 Harwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
