“Samantha is a great walker and Emet loves her! She came over to meet him before the scheduled walk and made sure she fully understood his needs. She arrived on time to his walk and he seemed to have a fun time and is now all tired out.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life ranging in size from a pug to english mastiffs. My last mastiff had epilepsy so no medical issue is too big for me to handle. I am a recent college graduate looking to make some extra money while looking for a job. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I am keeping busy by helping other pet owners! Both of my dogs are friendly, but the size of my mastiff Boh can intimidate other dogs. He is a very sweet boy just large. I am able to bring them over to my fenced in yard or come to you and hang out with your pup.
“Victoria has been excellent to work with and Has great customer service. She goes the extra mile to ensure the provided service is completed. We plan on continuing to utilizing her services.”
About: I have had animals ever since I was born! I fell in love with taking care of animals when my family's dog started growing old. Instead of seeing the extra care you must give a senior dog as a chore, I saw it as a teaching moment, as an opportunity to pour even more love into my dog. And, now, I really enjoy dog sitting! I love walking dogs and can take them on hikes, long walks, or a short trip to the mailbox! If you couldn't tell from my pictures I love animals of all kinds! I have a special place in my heart for guinea pigs because my brother has two! I am an incoming college freshman, so in Maryland my availability will be during the summer months and during breaks. Otherwise, I have no other scheduling conflicts! I make sure that I approach each dog differently. If a dog is low energy, I will be able to match their energy and make sure that they are comfortable. And on the other hand, if a dog is high-energy I can match that too. Play time and long walks are always welcomed!
“Tabitha was great with Riley.. I knew from the first meeting and Riley’s response to her she was a good choice. She took the time to care for her as well as play. She even added a day last minute which I really appreciated! I would definitely book with her again anytime I need a dogsitter.”
“Natasha is very reliable and dependable! She showed up despite other things going on because she is committed to your fur babies! She sticks to her word and is very punctual. She communicates quickly and will meet the needs of your pups. She is very friendly and managed walking my two labs who are full of energy and quite strong! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you”
“Madison is fantastic! Reliable, timely, and great with our dog. She was even able to help us in a pinch when we had an unexpected travel change! Thank you Madison!”
“Carson was awesome to work with! He is a polite, responsible young man who handled my wild 85-pound Goldendoodle with ease. He communicates well and is very easy to schedule and reschedule with as needed. I'm so glad to have found a new trustworthy dog walker for my JoJo. I highly recommend him!”
“Always on time, even when it was pouring rain! Very responsive to text! Super grateful for his flexibility and understanding when my flights got changed at the last minute!”
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Yeji came three time a day to walk Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. She was friendly, communicative, and arrived on time. Most importantly, she treated my fur baby well, giving her affection and some much needed exercise/potty time. I will definitely reach out to Yeji if I ever need help again.”
“Angel is very reliable and available (on short notice), even on the hottest days when it’s not desirable to want to walk a dog! We appreciate her being that person for our pup. Hire her!!”
“He is wonderful! My dog loves him. He does a great job of being friendly and sweet with my animals but also keeps him in-line! He doesn't let him pull or run all over the place! He's also very respectful of my house and towards myself.”

Katherine is incredibly sweet, kind, and dependable. She was able to meet my dog and take her for a walk on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. She arrived on time, asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s care, and carefully followed all instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. We are very happy to have her as our regular sitter and highly recommend her!
Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!
Kaitlin arrived on time, took our dog out in this frosty weather and managed to get Bentley moving despite the snow and ice. She is very friendly, responsible and conscientious- I felt comfortable when I first met her and I’m very happy with the quality of her work.
Menkaure was very kind, respectful, and punctual. He has a very calming personality that jives well with my rambunctious dogs. He took my two large Huskies for 4 walks in the past week and he did an amazing job. He followed all instructions and the dogs loved him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ilchester on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .

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 Ilchester. 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 Ilchester.

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 Ilchester. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
