About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on clear communication and regular updates, including photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home full time so I will be able to accommodate most schedules during the week. My weekends are usually open and free so that means more time to dedicate to your pet's care. I will make sure the proper care and attention is given at any point of the day! I have more than enough space in my apartment to accommodate most animals. My apartment complex is very safe, quiet and clean with adequate space to provide walks if needed. For cat owners, I do have a resident cat that will be in the same house. I will make sure proper separation is guaranteed if you decide to have your kitty cat stay with me!

“Heather was great! She has years of experience dealing with all types of dogs and that was evident when she walked my dog - who has more personality and quirks than you can shake a chuck-it stick at. I knew Heather was the right choice when my dog gave her tail wags and brought her a toy on their first at home visit. Generally he takes a while to warm up to people. Heather is responsive and punctual. I’d definitely hire her again!”

About: Building trust with animals has always been a rewarding experience for me. I always had cats growing up, and when I came to the U.S. as an international student 10 years ago, I stayed with many host families who trusted me with taking care of their dogs and cats. I started volunteering for Petco Cat shelter in 2016, taking care of kittens and senior cats, monitoring their oral medications, and finding them second homes. I am now a cat mom of my 7-year-old black cat and a rescue orange cat. I will provide your furry babies with all my love and care during the days when you are away, and send you updates so you feel like they are with you the whole time! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I have another part-time job helping foreign exchange students find their host families which does not have a strict time schedule. I will keep my schedule up to date so I can help you in the most efficient way :) I take safety very seriously. I know that safety is key to building trust. I will communicate with you clearly about your expectations and your house rules so you feel comfortable having me in your home taking care of your pet family members.

About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve initially started taking care of pets in my community after losing my lovely dog, Layla, to cancer. Doing so was healing in ways that I could not have imagined!! I am so excited to continue this journey of love, support and healing. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I'm currently working from home, which allows me plenty of time to spend with the pets! I'm usually available for daycare & boarding while working, with a few exceptions. I follow the instructions form the caregiver and also listen to what each pet is telling me. I provide a calm yet playful attitude so that everyone feels comfortable.

About: Busy day? No worries—I absolutely love dogs! I’ll make sure your pup gets the walk, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Previously cared for a rescue terrier mix for five years. Now seeking opportunities to care for other dogs. I'm free for pet dog every weekday after 6 PM and would love to establish a regular routine. However, I am more than happy to accommodate one-time requests as well. This flexibility ensures that I can provide your dog with the attention and exercise they need. I ensure a safe, clean, and engaging environment for pets, providing routine care, attention, and communication. My focus is on making pets feel loved and secure, whether in my home or my clients' homes. I plan to focus on providing drop-in visits for playtime, feeding, and dog walking during weekdays.

About: Life has always meant enjoying dog relationships. Dogs visiting here at Twin Spruce Cottage are treated as if they are my own, enjoying a home setting & an attentive human. My initial posting with Rover.com was years ago. At that time circumstances changed so it wasn't until this last summer of 2025, that I happily began to board dogs again. I was raised to understand dog behavior and to be comfortable around all types of dogs. Our last dog was 110 lbs of gorgeous (& alpha) Flatcoated English Retreiver. He passed at 14. Now retired full time, I volunteer with dogs when I have the opportunity. I understand how to identify dog behaviors & work with them. I was a volunteer at a canine rescue program from 2001 through 2016, working both in the facility and fostering dogs who were waiting placement. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs & willing to adjust to the individual needs of your dog. I have a dog friendly yard and do walks each day to keep them busy. There are comfy, upholstered large dog beds to lounge on and toys for play. I also am available for dog walking near me in Skyway WA. Unfortunately, dogs with special needs, unspayed females or dogs who require medication be given are not accepted. I am retiree who walks daily ~ without my own dog these days. Dog walks are provided in daylight hours and are available by appointment. Schedule availability varies. I have a fenced yard which is dog friendly with room to run, lots of shade trees & some artificial turf developed especially for dogs. When in the house no dogs on furniture or beds but comfy dog beds are waiting. Dog guests who are boarding are walked 45-60 minutes per day which is included in daily rates. Your dog will be the only dog in my care while boarding > unless your family has 2 dogs you wish to board. There is a maximum of 2 dogs in care. Daycare is available. For further information on daycare, please contact me. Dog walking is also available, in my local area. Inquiries are welcome.

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I bring a lifetime of love, knowledge, and respect for animals into everything I do. Growing up with dogs, I quickly learned how to read their behavior, meet their needs, and most importantly—treat them like family. I’m attentive, empathetic, and deeply in tune with animal behavior. Whether your pet needs active play, a calm cuddle buddy, or specialized care, I offer a safe and loving environment where they can feel at home—even when you’re away. With no pets of my own currently, your dog will have my full, undivided attention. I have a fenced back yard that is covered completely in shade with enough space for the dogs to run and play outside with each other

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with over 2 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and 4 years with cats, along with volunteer work at animal shelters in TX but since I had to moved to PNW I’m excited to continue doing what I love. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, medication support, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My shelter experience has taught me how to work patiently with pets of all temperaments, from shy and anxious to highly active. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pet the best care possible I currently work part-time in the mornings and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks from around noon through the afternoon and early evening. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention to your pets when you need it most. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and any special instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they enjoy lots of attention or prefer a calmer approach. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. As a pet parent myself, I treat every animal as if they were my own. 🐾

Akiva was a great dog walker. He worked on getting to know my dog and meeting his needs. Always punctual, he gave Yofi the full hour walk as requested. Akiva knows a lot about dog behavior and got to know Yofi before he took him out. Akiva and Yofi had a productive "meet and greet" before accepting this task. My dog has a few quirks that Akiva handled professionally. He was also very kind with Yofi. I recommend Akiva wholeheartedly.

Kai is doing a great job. I had surgery and needed someone to walk my dog 3x/day. He answered the call immediately, came to the house to introduce himself and appeared the next day at 7:15 AM. He has been very punctual and dependable. My dog, who doesn't like to walk with people she doesn't know, wags her tale when he comes to the door. HE is terrific!

I hired Sharin because I'm recovering from surgery, and like me Ollie had cabin fever and needed to get out, yet I was in no condition to be walking. Sharin arrived on time and I had Ollie ready to go in his harness. He was really excited to meet her and she was so sweet to him. He's a dachshund so he can bark quite a bit, but he seemed to be relaxed when they left, which made me feel at ease. After the walk, Ollie watched her leave. I definitely would want Sharin to walk Ollie when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hazelwood is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 12,284 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hazelwood. 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 Hazelwood. 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 , 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 Hazelwood 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hazelwood. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
