About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!

About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have house sitting experience and I have taken care of other people's animals previously just to help out. I’ve owned rats, and I’m no stranger to scaly friends if you have those as well. I have my own dog who is my best friend! My schedule is completely open right now because I do side gigs as needed. I’m hoping to eventually make this a long term full time gig! I love all animals and pet care is one of my passions. Any animal of yours I will treat like my own! I do not want you to have worry when you are away.

About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. My focus is always on creating a stress- free experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home so, my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning walks, evening visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pets routine exactly as you outline - from feeding, walks, household rules - so we all feel comfortable and secure. If caring for your pets in my home, they’ll have a family of two cats and a dog plus my animal whisperer husband to love on them. Clear communication is important to me so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I've volunteered for colonial capital humane society, I have taken a Veterinary Technician class, and did my clinical hours at Jill's pet resort. So overall I have plenty of experience with animals because I also have lived with them. I am off all day Monday through Wednesday. Wednesday is up until 9 pm. And the rest of the week I'm off for the daytime till 9 pm. I will mostly try to take care of pets outside of my home. Such as walking or pet sitting for other people. Because there are enough animals in the house I live in

About: I previously worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I fed and watered dogs, managed medication, and gave lots of love! Giving oral or topical medication is no stranger and certainly not a problem for me. I am currently a part-time waitress working around 3 days a week. I have lots of time for the dogs, and I miss spending time with them! In a client's home, it would be ideal for them to tell me everything in need to know about their pup, such as medication time (if needed), feeding schedule, likes and dislikes, and personal quirks. At my home, my yard is not fenced in, however, it is 1 acre of land in the back of a neighborhood far from any main roads. Your pup with also be with my dog Manny. He is a black lab, German longhaired pointer mix. He is well tempered and plays well with all other dogs.

Kyle was a very conscientious caregiver to our dog. He showed up twice a day (even in the rain) to walk our dog at my dad‘s house. He even went above and beyond by applying an antibiotic to her tail and putting the donut/tail guard on her every night. I strongly recommend Kyle to anyone needing thisservice.

FAQs for Dog Walking - James City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in James City on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across James City. 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 James City. 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 James City.

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 James City. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
