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: 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.

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: I treat every pet like my own, focusing on routines, comfort, and individual needs. Calm, patient care with close attention to each pet’s personality and habits. Reliable, detail-oriented sitter who prioritizes safety, consistency, and trust. I take time to truly understand each pet so they feel secure and loved. Clear communication, dependable care, and lots of genuine affection for pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment so pets feel secure and well cared for.

Marian was very willing to provide her dog walking services on such a short notice after I had a previous plan backfire on me. While I couldn't meet her beforehand, we put in a plan for her to get my keys so she can meet Bandit and take him for walks. She was very professional and from what I can tell, Bandit enjoyed his time with her and the walks. Highly recommend Marian and will definitely be using her for future needs!

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was young and have always loved being around them. I’ve also spent some time fostering kittens and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure animals feel safe and well cared for. Since I currently attend school from home, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day to care for pets. This allows me to give animals the attention they deserve, whether that’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care. I’m patient and attentive with animals and make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and exercise. I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and keep pets comfortable while you’re away.

About: I know just how difficult it can be to be away and to find someone trustworthy to care for your beloved pets; especially those with medical and unique needs. That’s why I’m here: to make that time away as worry free and easy as possible! Friends aren’t always around to help out, and no one likes to stick their pups in a kennel. That’s what inspired me to become a sitter! I have a huge passion for making sure that pets are happy and healthy! There’s just nothing like bringing a smile to a pet’s face, so I can’t wait to do the same for your fur kids! I’ve been a lifelong dog owner, but have tons of experience taking care of them to boot! I currently live with my dog, a Chihuahua/Papillon mix, Rosie, and she is the light of my life! I grew up looking after pups and have experience with tons of different pets, from dogs and cats to fish and Bearded Dragons! In addition to taking care of may pets, I’ve also been a volunteer for the Suncoast Animal League, where I took in and fostered pups in need. I just loved this experience so much, and it definitely confirmed my wish to see every pet be happy and healthy at all times! I’ve also been a long-time pet sitter for friends and family, and now I’m very excited to extend my client base and help more pets & their families. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet in-person or video call. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pet and your care expectations. No one knows your pet better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pet tick! Finally, me and Rosie love meeting new dogs and cats! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that the cornerstone of any good stay is communication. For me, good communication begins before your pet comes under my care, as I love to get as much information about you and your pet right off the bat! Getting a good idea about your care expectations is just as important as learning about what makes your pup tick. With that information in mind, I like to start thinking as early as possible about what a dream stay would be! During the stay, I like to send regular updates with accompanying pictures, so you can see just how well your pet is doing while you’re away. In addition to pictures, I like to send detailed information on anything you need to feel in the loop—from behaviors to meals to exercise times. Going the extra mile is just what I do best! *For house pet sitting, I am a currently working in Pennsylvania and able to travel with my dog, who is dog/cat tolerant & house trained, to you for 2-3 day weekend stays within 5 hours of Lancaster,PA.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have worked and help care for dogs, cats, and birds! I am willing to help with every animal out there as well! I am available to help with medication and treatments if needed! I work full time in Camp Hill, PA Monday Thru Friday 8a-430p. So If needed I would stop by your house before and then directly after- obviously unless I’m staying there for the night, then I’ll get to care for your pet all night! I know of many animal(dog) parks in the area near my house, but love to take animals on walks if applicable! I am also willing to help bathe them even if that means taking them to a animal bath at pet store and such! Since I work a set schedule Monday through Friday, food and potty breaks will be at regular times and consistent times throughout the week. And in certain circumstances, I will be able to stop by during my work shift if need be. I typically will stay the evening if doing a overnight sit, so the pets have company throughout the evening In case anything arises. I am capable of handling medicine, and any special requests you might have in regards to your pets!

About: Growing up in a rural area, I am no stranger to being around livestock, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. My first job was in a vet/kennel setting where I worked as a groomer's assistant. My more recent work experience has been more customer service based - but I continue to live a very animal-centric life, caring for my own animals, as well as the animals of my neighbors, friends, and coworkers.. - Do you have a dog or cat who requires a special medication by syringe? No problem, I've done it! - Do you have an elderly dog or cat who may require frequent changes to their bedding, litter box or diaper? I can help with that! From reptiles to poultry and everything in-between.. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and would love to meet yours. I take great pride in caring for other's animals as if they were my own. I am flexible, communicative, and not afraid to get my hands dirty if it means making sure your animal is comfortable and well cared for! I'm currently working part-time while pursuing a new career, which allows me to be flexible. I have availability mornings, afternoons, evenings & weekend to fit all your needs. As I am currently a renter, I am unable to care for your animal within my own home. Services I do provide would include: drop-in care, to walk, feed, or simply provide company & enrichment to your animals. Do you have a pet that is highly anxious, requires detailed dietary care, or medication administration? I am also available to stay the day or overnight in the case that you're leaving town for that vacation or special occasion.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Host

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,433 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.
