About: I am a certified vet assistant and have cared for 10+ animals in adult lifetime including friends and family. I’ve cared for a dog with severe epilepsy, and a dog with bone cancer. I also care for two senior dogs now along with training a new puppy. I walk my young lab puppy everyday for at least a mile and also play ball in the yard. Also my two senior dogs get very short walks to keep them active. I am a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule to walk dogs and care for them. I’m experienced in giving medicine and know how important sticking to a schedule is.

About: Hi, I'm Emily and I've been caring for dogs, horses & livestock for over 15 years around the Northern Berks and Lebanon County areas. I grew up around Australian Heelers helping with birthing mothers and puppies. I currently own a Toy Fox Terrier/Toy Aussie Shepherd mix named "Ranger". I've worked for several horse farms in the area including Mountain Spring Arena in Shartelsville and Maple Crest Sport Horses in Myerstown since I was 16. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, ride and muck stalls for their pets both large and small. References available! I can take your beloved pet (family member) on a nice walk around your neighborhood or to the groomer. Does your dog have a favorite toy? We can play with that too!! If you're only looking for someone to come into the home to feed/potty your dog 1-3 times daily, I do that too. Please contact me with any questions! I'm a traveling in-home caregiver for Northern Berks and Lebanon county; hence, I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to fit in drop-in and dog walking visits between my clients. Safety and Environment will vary depending on which service the owner is requesting. Safety is #1 no matter the situation! Drop-in visits: the dog is in his/her familiar yard. Owner will have to specify how the dog best goes out during meet and greet. Walks: For multiple dogs, owner needs to also specify if dog(s) walk nicely and can be taken out together.

Lindsay was fantastic, she kept me updated everyday on how Luna was doing and I received daily pictures of Luna as well as of our cat, KiKi. She went above and beyond by also giving our bearded dragon some water. Will definitely use again!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! Over the years, I’ve watched and walked pets for family members, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure each pup feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend lots of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship while they’re in a comfortable environment. I also genuinely enjoy long walks in my personal time, so I’d love to have a furry friend join me for some extra exercise and enrichment! I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide reliable care and accommodate many scheduling needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend drop-in visits and dog walks. If I accept your booking, you can count on me to arrive on time, communicate consistently, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss accommodations whenever possible! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment. I always double check that leashes, doors, and gates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have worked with animals professionally since I was 16 years old and have spent the past three years working in animal shelters as a Behavior Specialist, helping dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments feel comfortable, safe, and successful. In addition to my shelter experience, I have four years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My background in animal behavior allows me to recognize body language, reduce stress, and provide individualized care based on each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves adventure, needs extra patience, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I am committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care while you're away. i’m currently working full time and have off on sundays and monday. On the days i work, i work 9-5:30 sometimes getting done earlier on occasion. I currently have a whole separate room to separate cats from my own. I work in animal welfare and know how important sanitization is a well.

About: My whole live I have always had animals and/or was surrounded by them. I have taken care of families pets and homes since I was around 10 and have had my own pet care experience since I was around 6. Pets are family. And with me, they will be treated as such! This summer my availability is open and flexible due to only working part time. I have a lot of weekends open and even more weekdays. During my time with your pets, I will focus on keeping them active and using enrichment techniques when needed. If you have pets with a bit more anxiety, we can also relax at home.

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, an animal lover with a passion for giving pets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves to play fetch, snuggle on the couch, or go for long walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’ve got experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands, I'll treat them like family! I am a teacher who is home for the summer break! Since I am home, I am flexible and can fit to your scheduling needs! At our home, we prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. We have one dog, Obi, and one cat, both of whom are used to having visitors. Obi is always excited to meet new friends and loves playtime, while our cat is more independent and enjoys keeping to herself, but she’s used to having dogs around. When caring for pets in our home, we ensure walks are safe by always leashing our pup, and we use a lead for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks in the backyard. Obi is crated when we leave the house, ensuring he’s safe and secure. He has access to his food bowl throughout the day, allowing him to graze at his own pace. However, we’re happy to accommodate any special feeding routines or requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Host

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,394 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Host. 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 Host. 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 Host.

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 Host. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
