“Claire was an emergency call and she looked at her schedule and was able to walk Sassy on the first day of the artic blast coming in. So thankful! If she had not responded yes, go back to Rover for next request. She came the night before to meet Sassy and Sassy immediately liked her.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for the past couple of years adding more experience and insight into getting to know them personally and learning how their minds work, I’m also very respectful of their boundaries but I also know when to take the lead and guide them through any issues. On the other hand I love playing with dogs and spending my day with them and I am also mindful of their health and any concerns they may have. At the moment I'm working part time but my schedule is very flexible and I can take off from work or call in to work around any upcoming bookings or boardings. I have a large fenced yard and there's also a walking trail nearby for dogs to explore, I also love playing and cuddling with them to make them feel loved and comfortable.

About: I started pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family many years ago which led me to working at a pet lodge for a friend when there were shifts to pick up. There I could handle anywhere from 5 to 15+ dogs of various breeds and sizes. I grew up with all sorts of animals but mostly dogs and cats. I really do love animals of all sorts. My biggest flex? I tend to befriend the unfriendly and shy ones. Currently, I am not working so I have open availability. When I start school in the fall, I will be doing it online so my schedule will not have to change with any clients that I might have. I always made sure my cats’ area was clean and stocked; meaning their litter box, food bowls are filled, and toys put away when they weren’t playful. When I had a dog, I would put them in the crate if I was leaving or going to bed when we were still training them, but after a while I kept them out. I like to maintain a regular routine so that they were not stressed.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, specifically Maltese, so caring for pets has always been a normal part of my life. I also currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. While I’m newer to pet sitting through Rover, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, and any other instructions you have for your pet. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how they’re doing. Outside of pet care, I’m currently finishing my master’s degree in counseling and have spent several years in roles that require a high level of responsibility, communication, and trust. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. My schedule is fairly flexible, especially during weekday mornings and early afternoons. I’m currently finishing graduate school and generally schedule my other work later in the day, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I can also accommodate some evenings and weekends depending on the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially when that means welcoming someone into your home. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level and won’t force interaction if they need some time to warm up. I’ll also treat your home with respect, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Since I was a newborn baby, I’ve grown up with pets in the house. And not just a dog or two, most of my childhood consists of memories filled with at least four to five pets at a time. This includes everything from baby bearded dragons and chameleons, to senior dogs and guinea pigs, and many in between. Responsibility and organization were expected of me growing up, to maintain the privilege of having pets. Needless to say, those are now skills I have mastered. I was often trusted to not only care for family and friends’ pets, but also those of teachers and neighbors. What’s sets me apart as a sitter the most, is my treating every pet as my own. Every pet under my care is guaranteed to receive my undecided attention, prioritized safety, and consistency. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule, taking priority over all else. I have open availability, 24/7, making me a great candidate for any and all of your pet sitting needs. Whether it be the vacation you’re taking with your family in a month, or the last minute date you have tonight that you can’t go on without a sitter. I’m your gal! As a part of my services, I care for pets in their own familiar environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training cues, and any medication or special care instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also maintaining the home: cleaning bowls, litter boxes, and pet areas as needed. I prioritize safety, respect the client’s space, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all age, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive to routines, great with details, and always on time. What sets me apart is consistency and genuine care. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and fell in love with their unique personalities. Friends and family always knew they could count on me to treat their pets like my own. Now I bring that same care to every client. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, meal, or overnight stay, you can count on me for reliable, loving care and clear communication. My schedule is very flexible, so your pet always gets the time and attention they need. I plan my day around my clients needs to keep their routine consistent. Whether it’s walks, overnight says, or drop-ins, I manage my time to support each client with the individualized care you deserve. Since I work from home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day. You can count on me to be responsive, reliable, and fully present with your dogs or cats. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat your home and pet with the same respect I’d want for mine. I always ask about routines, preferences (both for you and your pets), and special needs to make sure your pet gets personalized care. Safety, comfort, and clear communication are my #1 priorities.

About: I'm an attentive and reliable pet lover who believes every pet deserves high quality care, routine, and engaging mental stimulation while you're away. I care for my family's energetic young corgi, so I'm well versed in handling small-medium breeds, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping dogs happy and active. I love incorporating simple enrichment games--like hiding treat puzzles for them to sniff out! Im working part time, so I am available for afternoon or early evening drop-ins and/ or walks on weekdays! Schedule varies on weekends so I will need notice beforehand. I respect the pet-parent's home by following the rules they establish before my first visit. The pet's care and comfort are my priorty for the owner's peace of mind. Hence why I provide pictures and updates to the pet parents, with frequency varying by preference.

About: I've been helping pet-sit since I was 11-17 in my old neighborhood. I have also grown up around big and small dogs and have helped to train them. I helped in the training of my now 6-year-old lab mix since he was around 1. I have helped pet-sit in many different capacities, check in with the animal for walks and food, house-sit for extended periods of time, and I spent the last year staying with a puppy during the daytime, walking, feeding, and anything else needed. Though I have more experience with dogs, I have also spent a fair amount of time looking after cats and other animals. I am currently in my senior year of high school, doing school through an online program that gives me plenty of flexibility. Along with that, I am currently working for a mother (teacher) to drive her kids after school; It is usually from 2:45-3:40. Due to my flexibility, I am available to look after pets during the day, and I can also house-sit pretty much any day of the week. I have helped feed, walk, groom, and train my dogs since I was 10. I have had experience working with dogs of all different sizes, ages, diets, and needs. As well as taking care of many other kinds of pets.

About: Seeking a fun, relaxing home away from home for your buddy? Look no further!!! I'm happy to provide a safe, reliable space for your dog to kick back and unwind; the adventure walks, cuddles, and movies are on me! High maintenance, low maintenance, somewhere in between? Don't worry, my little fur baby, Roxee, is all of the above! Roxee is a awesome little Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix who's been with me since she was an eight week old pup! I've cared for, trained, and loved her into a spoiled, bossy sweetheart. Rox is healthy, loving, and extremely careful. All dogs are not the same and they have their own unique personality. With that being said, I will adjust to the need(s) of you and your dog. Come on over, Rox and I are looking forward to meeting you! I work from home so I’m very attentive and available throughout the day! I may run to the store for groceries or pick up food. Whatever is preferred - crate or free to roam around. Whatever is most comfortable and familiar. We stick to desired feeding schedule and go with the flow!

Makenzie has been walking my dog daily on my work days for about a month now. She’s been consistent, reliable, and a great communicator. I sometimes have to work extra long days and while it’s not an emergency, I hate leaving my dog too long without some company and a walk, so there’s been times I’ve asked for extra walking services, and I’ve been able to book those with her every time I’ve asked. I feel confident my dog is in good hands with her, allowing me to go about my work day worry free when it comes to my sweet boy. I highly recommend Makenzie. My cats enjoy her company, as well!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hedwig Village

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hedwig Village is $30 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $46 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 6,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hedwig Village. 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 Hedwig Village. 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 Hedwig Village 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 Hedwig Village. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
