About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals. I have a closed area to make sure your special DOG 🐶 AND KITTY ARE SAFE AND SECURE.IF YOU REQUEST FOR YOUR BABY TO BE CRATED , ONLY AT YOUR REQUEST.I TAKE CARE OF ONE OR 2 FUR BABIES FOR THE LENGTH OF THEIR STAY.I PROVIDE ONE ON ONE LOVING 🥰 CARE FOR YOUR BABY- BABIES.I WILL NOT MIX FAMILIES.IF YOU PREFER I WILL DO A STAY OVER AT YOUR CONVENIENT HOME 🏠.SAFETY, HEALTH AND COMFORT ARE #1 YOUR FUR BABIES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MY HOME, I WILL PLAY WITH THEM, GIVE LOTS OF LOVING 🥰 CARE! I PROVIDE THEIR SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL 🥘 FOOD, BRUSH EACH ONE, TREATS IF ALLOWED, LOTS OF LONG OR SHORT WALKS(which ever you instruct, )I HAVE PLENTY OF 🧸 TOYS TO PLAY WITH.ADMINISTER MEDS IF NECESSARY, THEY WILL SLEEP WITH ME IF YOU WISH, OR HAVE THEIR OWN BED. I WILL PAMPER, LOVE 💕 ON THEM, CARESS, I WILL BE WITH THEM AT ALL TIMES, TAKE THEM TO PARKS FOR SOME OUTSIDE 🤩 FUN- DOGGY 🐕 PARKS IF PARENT ALLOWS.YAY 😀 Lots OF PLAYTIME AND FUN 🤩.

About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve always enjoyed their company and understand their unique personalities and needs. Although I don’t have a pet at the moment, I truly miss having one around, so I would be happy to take care of your cat with love, attention, and patience as if it were my own. I work from home, so I can spend most of the day with your cat, making sure they get attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. My home is calm, clean, and safe — perfect for a cat to feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for, just like at home.

“When I asked her to come walk my large puppy at last she had no problem and even walked my puppy a little extra, fed and watered him when they got home. She has my complete respect and I will continue to user her in the future. My puppy was so happy and relaxed after his walk that he was more calm”

About: I’ve been watching all sorts of pets ever since I can remember. My family and I have always been the go-to for friends and family needing a pet sitter. We used to take care of pets on Rover for 3 years and made friends with many clients and their pets. This time I’m doing it on my own. I have two dogs and one cat at home who all love each other. I go to Orlando every so often, so if I’m not available I am probably in Orlando! However, if my calendar says I’m unavailable, I still encourage you to send me a message and I might be able to watch your pups/cat anyway! I also have college classes on weekdays. I have a lot of experience in getting along with dogs and can do many things to check up on them such as refilling their food and water bowls, cleaning up any accidents or messes, playing with or walking them so they are tired out for the day, as well as any special instructions/needs your dog has. ‼️Also, My boyfriend usually joins me in taking care of pets, so please let me know beforehand if you’re not comfortable with that so I’m aware.‼️

About: I am an animal lover and every summer I spent has been with all different types of animals from all over the world from spider monkeys in the amazon to sea lions and marine iguanas in the Galapagos to bull sharks in Fiji. My true passion is dogs and caring for them because they are so lovable and fun to play with. I’m available all year long and available at anytime. I will care for your pet like he or she is my own. My schedule is currently studying for the LSAT to prepare for law school applications this coming fall.I am mostly in the library and at home as well as visiting my grandfather in Mystic Pointe every week. I pray in the morning, work out right after and then study, work and read throughout the day. I have a French bulldog at home who is only friendly out of the home so I will only be able to provide house sitting services and any and all dog walking services :). I hope this is helpful.

About: I can assure you I will adapt to your pets' needs, even if extravagant to keep them happy, to assure they always feel secure and at home. I have dog shelter experience, dog sitting experience and experience with my own puppies as I have successfully raised and trained three. I am mostly always at home. If your dog is special needs, needs medication, or is a senior, I am always willing to learn how to take care of them. Otherwise, if you have any requests or so, ask away. I will not shy away or slack on the little things, especially if your pet really needs something. I am always right here if you happen to have any questions about my services. I have my own senior pup who I take care of. Daily walks and treats are a necessity! Pet care is incredibly dog-specific and what works for one might not work for the other. I think being flexible and listening to your dogs needs is a constant need. I care for dogs by following instruction not only from owner but pup, being open to their needs and regulating their emotions throughout our visit.

“I was very pleased with Carla. I am relatively new to using walkers since I've always lived in a home with a backyard. I am therefore very paranoid about who walks my dog. I only trust without worries, my neighbor who walks Shona together with his big boy fur baby who was out of town. Shona is very sweet but young, strong, and big. Carla was punctual with every walk. handled Shona easily and comfortably and followed all my instructions. I highly recommend Carla if you need a responsible person to handle your dog - size don't matter.”

10/10 highly recommend Tomas. Tomas is by far the best option on rover. Great communication, always very polite. I will book with Tomas again and again in the future. My dog loves Tomas.

I had to go through a few dog walkers/sitters as I have two large bully breed dogs that are also leash reactive. Herbert’s knowledge on dog body language was a huge relief for me to ensure safe walks and to avoid my dogs being triggered from other dogs. He follows my instructions thoroughly and you can tell he genuinely has a love for animals. My pups adore him already, highly recommend!

My experience was extremely positive. I’ve definitely found someone I can trust, and I’m very satisfied. She is the perfect sitter for my pet.🤝😁😊 When my plans suddenly changed, she really helped me out she was flexible, accommodating, and handled everything perfectly. Her professionalism is obvious from the start: she asks the right questions, pays close attention to details, and truly cares about the pet. It even feels like she goes above and beyond what’s expected. She is very careful, knows exactly how to build the right connection with an animal, and it’s clear that this is not just a job for her, but a genuine love for what she does.😁

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ives Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ives Estates is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,384 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ives Estates. 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 Ives Estates. 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 , 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 Ives Estates 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ives Estates. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
