Gionna was great! From the first message I sent to inquire through the last message after her last walk with Roxy! Her communication was spot on and her care for Roxy was very assuring. She came for a meet and greet since she was Roxy’s first walker. They hit it off and had great walks while I was gone making me more relaxed and less worried to enjoy my weekend away. Thank you Gionna, we can’t wait to work with you again!

Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!

I recently adopted a rescue who is having a hard time adjusting to new people. Kathryn did a great job with him! Despite him growling at her she was patient with him and helped him calm down so she could walk him. She was reliable and understanding. I then asked her if she could come again last minute and without hesitation she agreed! I would definitely work with Kathryn again!

About: I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I am a dependable, caring, and patient person and i genuinely love spending time with animals-especially dogs. I treat every pet in my care like my own. As a licensed xray technician and extensive healthcare background, you can rest assure that your pet will always be in good hands. I pay attention to the little things that make each pet comfortable; from keeping their normal routine to giving them plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. My home is a quiet, non-smoking house with a fully fenced yard, and because I have no pets of my own, your dog gets my undivided attention. Whether your pup is playful, energetic, shy, older, or simply loves a good belly rub, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and being genuinely loved. 🐶❤️ Because I am an empty nester and pet sitting is my full-time focus, your fur baby will have my absolute, undivided attention. My schedule is exceptionally flexible and open, meaning my entire daily and weekly routine revolves completely around the pets in my care, allowing me to maintain your pet's exact feeding, bathroom, and medication schedules without interruption. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, midday companionship, or an extra-long afternoon walk, I will be there to provide it. Pets will be under my constant supervision and are never left unattended. I have a spacious backyard with grassy areas for potty breaks, playtime, or just to relax in fresh air- all surrounded by a privacy fence with secure locks at all points of entry. This is a non-smoking home. No candles or harmful cleaning chemicals are EVER used when pets are in my care and I always make sure their food/water stays clean and fresh. Pets are always safely leashed for neighborhood walks. Also, your dogs will have access to my entire home, including a fully finished basement which provides plenty of extra space and new scenery. If I am visiting the pet-owners home, I promise to treat your home with the utmost respect. I will double-check that all doors are securely locked every time I exit your property and all other guidelines given are followed. I always provide regular photo, video, and text updates throughout the day, so you always know exactly how your baby is doing. Ultimately, I care for every pet with the same deep love that I gave my own best buddy. Miss ya, bestie ❤️‍🩹 (Cujo 🪽2016 ~ 2026)

About: I have been a dog lover for many years and had the privilege of taking care of a chihuahua and a pug throughout their lives. Being a pet owner taught me the importance of patience and paying attention to each dogs needs and personality. I understand that pets are family, and i know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I’ll provide attentive and loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide care to your pup after work during the weekends. I’m completely available on wednesdays and weekends. Your pets safely and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, secure environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I currently do not have any animals so your animals can enjoy an stress-free environment. As for in-home visits, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine and ensure they feel secure and cared for in their home.

Our regular dog walker was out for a week so we contacted Rosario. Not only was she happy to do a meet and greet, she was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous, shy dog. Our dog Dylan takes a VERY long time to warm up to new people, and Rosario spent more than our booked time coaxing her into going out for a potty break. She sent multiple videos and pics, and communicated with us through the whole process. I would recommend her 110%, she is an absolute angel.

Tara is a great caretaker and is amazing with our dog. Tara has helped us in emergency situations when our regular dog walker is unavailable, and, fortunately, she’s always found time for us in her schedule. Our dog loves her and our family is very appreciative of Tara’s time and expertise.

Melissa is great! She fit us into her schedule and was a reliable caretaker for our dog, who is reactive and needs patience and TLC — Melissa had ample supplies of both. Melissa gave us peace of mind and fulfilled all of our expectations: in addition to walking our dog and providing comfort and play time, she was also kind enough to bring in the occasional package or turn on the air conditioner for our dog in case we forgot. She is wonderful and we would recommend her to anyone in need of someone who is reliable and takes initiative.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hometown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hometown 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 12,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hometown. 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 Hometown. 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 Hometown.

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 Hometown. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
