About: I’ve loved all kinds of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua. Keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾

About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.

“Raven is great! I highly recommend her for your dog walking or pet sitting needs. This was our first time formally working together for a week’s worth of dog walking while I was out of town, but I was happy we already coordinated a “meet & greet” previously before needing these services. Raven arrived promptly every day and also gave great updates from the dog walks. It made us feel great to know our pup Autumn was so well taken care of! We will definitely work with Raven in the future.”

About: Growing up on a dairy farm is how I fell in love with animals of all kinds! I have adopted, trained, groomed and cared for a wide variety of animals. I have lots of experience with large and small breed dogs. A variety of different breeds of cats including some exotics such as Hairless, Sphinx and Bengals. Young and older as well as some special needs. Leopard geckos, and birds. Our pets are a part of our family and they deserve safety, love, and care. Connection and trust are everything. It’s important to me to learn as much as I can about your pet, to be an extension of the way you love and care for them in order to provide the best sense of well-being and personalized care. I have a well organized but flexible schedule. Please feel free to message me anytime. I will always get back to you if not the same day, definitely by the next day. It’s important to me to connect and learn the needs, likes and dislikes of your pet. Animals have their own unique personalities, wants and needs. Getting to know the details not only helps me take personal care of you pet but it allows your pet to feel more comfortable with me caring for them. Using familiar words and sounds, walking them, and playing in a way that’s comfortable and familiar.

The dogs LOVE her and she offers some helpful tips and tricks. Overall, I don’t think we could ask for anymore in a dog walker. If you are looking for the perfect pet partner - look no further!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have experience looking after my sister's corgi from when he was a puppy to his 7-year old self now! I have also cared for friends’ dogs and cats, and will treat your pet with the same love I would treat my own! I was on Rover back in undergrad, then went to grad school so I took a break but would love to get back into it- please consider me for your pet care needs! I am currently on the hunt for a full-time job so I have plenty of time during the day as I have no set schedule. I live in a single home with a fenced yard and plenty of backyard space! I am alert and attentive to pets’ needs whether they are in a space that’s familiar to them or not.

Alison walked my dog on the days I worked for over a year, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was always reliable, caring, and so accommodating with my odd hours and schedule changes. My dog is very shy and usually takes a while to trust new people, but she loved Alison from the moment they met, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry when she was with Alison because I knew she was in loving, trustworthy hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her and would highly recommend Alison to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Jefferson is $26 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 15,620 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jefferson. 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 Jefferson. 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
