“Thank you for always being so wonderful with Maximus. Just getting him out of the house and letting him stretch his legs is great while we’re gone, plus it’s always a treat seeing the cute photos afterwards.”

About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. I also work at a food delivery company part-time Wed & Friday 9pm to 2am and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet and allows me to pay attention to details and slow down a bit. I love being nurturing and taking time to shell the flowers! I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.

About: IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, ASK ME FOR A $20 PROMO CODE Experienced and responsible. Dog care and training with safety and enrichment in mind. Life-long dog lover! Dog walking is not a side-hustle for me. My goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct in every walk! 7-year experience raising my rescue 60lb pit-shepherd mix with reactivity issues. I have hands-on experience handling reactivity, leash-pulling, fear and stress in city dogs, through weekly volunteer work at local shelters. I pay close attention to each pup's needs and take guardians' notes seriously. I walk and train using science-based, relationship-focused methods — not dominance, for lasting behavior. I'm GCT certified and pursuing CPDT-KA and CCDT via CATCH Professional Dog Training Academy. I am also a guardian of 2 rescue tabbies - Sol & Luna. I am currently a full-time dog walker and trainer, on top of caring my own dog and cats at home and volunteering in shelters weekly. I am generally available M-F: 8a-7p; S-S: 1p-7p. Other hours may be accommodated on demand. A first 15-min meet and greet is a must for all walks to review your needs and your pup's routine, gears, personality, leash skills and any reactivity concerns. I am highly diligent on walks to look out for potential triggers and avoid scavenging. A safe distance from other dogs and humans is always maintained. I give them plenty of time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. The goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct on every walk! I never let dogs off-leash or go into dog parks. If your dog likes to play, I can keep them on a long leash for run and chase time.

About: I grew up with large and small dogs since I was young. My first dog was a pitbull so no I don’t think they’re dangerous, so much so I own a cane corso now. I love all types of dogs and rescued a few strays to give to new families. I have done the same with cats and birds, yes birds. I found strays from new born to even elderly, took care of them and learned how to do basic grooming care like clipping nails and trimming coats. I train my dogs pretty well, I’m not no professional, but they know many key tricks perfectly. I’m currently going to college but it is night classes so I’m free for the entire morning till early afternoon. I’m available for any services unless already booked or stated unavailable for personal reasons. I am free any time from 10am to 4pm Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Sunday Thursday and Friday 6am to 4pm. Saturday 6am to 12pm If there is clients with multiple dogs I know how to stop a scuffle before or during so don’t worry too much on that. I would like to know any allergies and during check ins their feeding regimens. Honestly I love all fur babies and giving them that extra TLC, brushing that winter coat off or just in general keeping them company.

“Iyana has been doing weekly walks for our dog for a few months now and we have had zero issues. She keeps a close eye on her so she can't eat all the trash she sees during walks and is very good at redirecting her focus when she gets too overstimulated by the sight of other dogs. On rainy or cold days she spends time with her inside since pur dog doesnt like to be out in that weather. She is a great communicator, always om time, very patient, and easy to work with. We are glad we found her!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Jamaica

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Jamaica on Rover is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $40 per walk. 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 28,210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jamaica. 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 Jamaica. 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 a map of the walking route , 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 Jamaica 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 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 Jamaica. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
