About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. I began playing a role in walking, and feeding/filling water for my dogs since I was 12. I have also watched my friend’s dogs before by stopping in a few times a day to feed them and give them love! I’m currently working a part-time job, most of the time I work day or night shifts so I do a lot of pet care in between my shifts or on the weekends. At home we use an electric fence for our animals but for others I accompany them outside on leashes. My cat does not do well with other cats without meeting/getting used to them over a period of time.

About: Interacting with animals has always been the highlight of my day. I have a decade of professional experience with pet care, primarily dogs and cats, but small animals and exotics as well. I have a beloved senior dog and a giant day gecko at home, but I grew up around a large range of animals, including dogs, birds, lizards, frogs, rodents and sugar gliders. I also have a bachelor's degree in biology with a particular interest in animals and plants. As a result, I have the experience, knowledge and passion to provide the high-quality care you're looking for. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means that I am able to devote plenty of time and attention to your animals. I will keep in touch with you while your precious pets are under my care, so you won't have to worry about their safety and comfort. I am happy to provide detailed updates and photos of the time they spend with me. I would love an opportunity to work with your family! I'm between jobs right now, so I'm able to provide even more time for your pets. When I do find my next job, I will be sure to give advance notice to any clients potentially affected by the change in addition to updating my profile. I will respect any rules and routines of your household so that you and your pets will be as comfortable as possible. I am always careful when opening doors to prevent escapes and take any specific safety concerns for your individual pets into account.

About: I grew up with many dogs, and currently own two giant Newfoundlands that are basically my full time job outside of my full time job. They love other pups and so do I! I typically like to do most gigs on weekends, but I do work from home and can accept some dog boarding cases during the week occasionally. I have a fenced in backyard with some stairs going down from our deck. We have two very chill newfoundlands that get along with most pups, but a meet and greet is required to determine that.

About: With over three years of pet care experience — including time working at a doggy daycare and providing in-home dog sitting — I offer loving, attentive care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My goal is to love and care for your pet as much as you do! I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — even those with a few quirks. Although I work full-time Monday through Friday, I always do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’m happy to arrange as many meet-and-greets as you’d like to ensure the perfect fit for you and your dog. For both house sitting and dog walking, I prefer to schedule a couple of meet-and-greets beforehand so your pup can get to know me and feel completely comfortable. With many years of pet care experience, working at a doggy daycare and dog sitting, I provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all kinds.

About: I grew up with dogs & have had two large breed dogs for the past 13 years. Currently, our dogs are seniors & one has some health issues that I am well skilled in supporting. I have a passion to LOVE every fur baby, dog & cat, as though they're my own because I whole-heartedly believe they deserve the best life we can give. I can't wait to care for your sweet doggo or cat ❤️ I work full time, but many days from home, which is reflected in my availability. I have the ability to move around my schedule, as needed, to work with your needs. When possible, I like to have a brief meet & greet with you and your pet(s) so that we are all familiar with each other and any further expectations for when I am in your home. Whatever accommodations are necessary to make sure you and your pet(s) feel safe, trusted and loved is my priority.

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I have experience caring for pets of all temperaments, sizes, and ages, from fur 🐶 to scales 🦎 to feathers 🐓. I grew up around farm animals, have fostered bunnies, and taken care of senior pets and animals with special needs. My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know your pet and their unique personality🤓 I would love to help provide stress-free care for your pets while you’re away with lots of photos and love like they are my own! ♥️ I’ve had two free-roam bunnies Honey and Bee cross the “rainbow bridge” and currently have an adventure cat named Toad and two of our rescue pups we are training — a Siberian Husky named Simon and a Blue Heeler mix Sage I am free to sit wherever, whenever! I work a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule and am open to changes according to your needs :) I am a tidy and attentive sitter that will make sure to follow directions closely. My goal is to give the best care for your pet while you’re away!

About: My family has had multiple dogs, cats, and rabbits throughout my lifetime. For most of my life, I wanted to be a vet, but decided to pursue another passion of mine - teaching. Using Rover is the next best thing to my dream of being a vet. I enjoy being around animals and have cared for many of my friends & families’ fur babies. I love to play and be active with animals. I enjoy taking pictures and I will send pictures of your fur babe(s) when they are in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). I am currently a SAHM with tons of availability! We enjoy having other fur babies around, especially pups. Typically my son and I go on 1-2 walks a day depending on the weather. We have a nice big backyard that we also enjoy hanging out in. I have a fenced in backyard to allow a safe space for animals to play in. I enjoy going on walks and being active. I will provide unconditional love to any pets in my care.

About: I enjoy taking care of all kinds of dogs. I am a current dog owner and have had dogs all my life. I currently help out family, friends and neighbors when needed for dogs and cats of all ages. I am currently working part time. I will normally be available during the week after 2pm. I am looking for ongoing long term set schedules but I am very flexible with my schedule. Hi, my name is Kathy. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am married and have three boys. Two are college aged students and one in high school. I work part time outside the home. I am available most days after 2pm, sometimes earlier. We do have a very big fenced in yard for your fur baby or babies to run around in. I am very reliable and detail oriented. I enjoy walking, training, petting and play with dogs of all sizes and kinds. I am excited to meet you and your four legged friend. I am completely committed to giving your fur-baby the best possible care while you are away. I am trust worthy, reliable, responsible and very detailed oriented. Keeping your fur baby safe is my number one priority. Keeping your pet on their leash while walking, or doors closed, or gates locked is just examples of keeping them protected at all times.

This is the second time Karly has been our walker for Bella. The first time was a 5 week hire while we were out of town. The second time was a short notice two day walker stint. Always punctual through both terms, and always caring. We felt very comfortable knowing Karly was watching our Senior Labrador Bella. Bella loved it too!

Reliable and conscientious. We’ve now used Karly on three occasions with one long term walking session and two short terms. All three times she was punctual and very communicative. She obviously loves the pets she encounters.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Herrold

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,090 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Herrold. 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 Herrold. 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 Herrold 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 Herrold. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
