About: If you are reading this, you don’t need to go elsewhere. While you are away your baby will have their own poochcation. I’ve been a pooch fur baby lover since I was a kid however my dad never let me have any. When I turned 18 i moved out and rescued my now pooch. Anywho I have babysat my friend’s/family pooches ever since! I know how nerve wrecking it is to leave your baby with someone they may not know. I will send pics, videos spoil your baby that they will think they are on vacation themselves. I have repeat pawrents that keep bringing their babies back. I work from home and have 1 little senior fur Yorkie with me. We take walks multiple times a day, go to the dog park and love taking him on car rides. I currently have a 11 year old pooch that lives with my husband and I. If you bring your baby for boarding they will have a bath (if you request)with no extra charges. We only use the very best shampoos for the fur babies. I have experience with giving meds, shots, cpr, what to do in case of a seizure or choking etc. I work from home so I’m at home all day long along with my little fur baby. We love living good and enjoy walks and play time. I live in a townhome your fur babies will always be on a leash as their safety is my number one priority they’ll be happy and comfortable with me.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and am completely comfortable with dogs of all sizes, especially large breeds. ​Whether your dog needs a structured walk, basic reinforcement of good behavior, or attentive drop-in care while you’re away, I provide reliable, capable support. I also offer morning feedings during walks if your routine requires it, ensuring your dog is fed, walked, and settled right on schedule. ​Beyond standard care, I bring extensive hands-on experience administering medications including insulin injections and complex treatments such as chemotherapy—giving you total peace of mind if your pup has specialized medical needs. ​I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear, proactive communication with owners. Let’s team up to keep your dog happy, healthy, and thriving! ​I offer consistent, reliable care and am available for walks and drop-ins. You can expect a steady routine tailored to your dog's needs, including feeding, exercise, and any required medications. I prioritize clear, proactive communication with timely updates and photos during every visit so you always know your pup is doing well. Every service is approached with a strict focus on safety, consistency, and respect for your dog's unique temperament. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-managed dogs. I’m experienced introducing dogs safely and can separate or crate as needed based on temperament and owner preference. I maintain a structured, low-stress environment and closely supervise all interactions. I follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and activity levels. Clean, secure, and safety-focused at all times.

Monday through Friday, ask me anytime I will be willing :) I have a fenced medium sized yard, and I like ro take my dogs on 1-2 walks a day depending on my schedule for the day.

About: I have taken care of different types of animals since I was 6 years old. I come from a family who loves fostering animals in need so I know how to take care of different breeds of dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbals, rats, turtles, lizards, rabbits, etc. I would take 2-3 hour long walks with my dogs and hikes with my cats whenever we got them harness trained. I will stick to your feeding schedule and bathe them if needed. I have over 15 years of bathing experience and I'll be training to be a groomer at PetSmart later this year. I am currently in between jobs so I am able to care for your pet anytime. I wake up at 10:00am everyday, take them outside to go potty and feed them at 10:30am. After I feed them I take them back outside to play fetch and chase them around from 10:45am-11:15am. We usually hang out around the house, watch some TV on the bed, and/or work on some chores until 1:00pm, going outside to go potty as needed. We go on 2 hour walks around 1:15pm everyday and to help get some energy out we walk to a dog park and play there for a while. When we get home I eat lunch while feeding the boys a treat. Usually a tasty cow knee! I start painting and working on my commissions from 4:00pm until 8:00pm, potty breaks as needed and they get to play in the yard with my roommates for as long as they (the dogs) want. We all eat dinner together at 8:30pm, go potty and get ready for bed. We play video games until about 11:00pm, go potty one more time and go to sleep. We have 2 friendly dogs and 3 kind dog loving cats. Glacious is a 50 pound Blue Heeler Lab mix who loves to play fetch and tug of War, he is the most gentle dog I have ever met. Tommy is a 10 pound mini poodle who has some anxiety so he tends to be at his daddy's side 24/7. Our cats are 2 girls, Annie and Wonder, and our boy Hemmingway. They love napping around the house and getting kissed from Glacious as much as they can. They all love animals and are all spayed/neutered. We have a pretty big fenced yard, a huge house to play in, and we live next to multiple parks and fields to run around in.

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs in my home and before finishing my bachelor’s degree, I graduated from a community college for Veterinary Assisting. I have administered medications, assisted vets with bandaging and cleaning, have taken care of boarding dogs at a clinic among many other daily duties of being a Veterinary Assistant. I work full time but work remotely 3 days a week. My schedule is flexible and with proper notice, I can fit whatever you need into my day! I do not offer in-home services since I have a cat of my own and she does not tolerate other animals. I am happy to visit your home to check in on your fur babies!

About: As a full-time traveler living the van-life dream, I bring a unique blend of dedication, responsibility, and individualized attention to every pet I care for. My background includes years of hands-on experience looking after family pets—especially cats of all temperaments—and running my own professional cleaning business. This means I deeply understand the level of trust, cleanliness, and respect required when managing someone else's home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and active dog walking. To ensure your pet gets premium care while allowing me to manage my business and personal errands, I operate under clear service boundaries: STANDARD CARE: My standard house sitting rate covers normal daytime flexibility alongside dedicated overnight care. I spend the vast majority of my day providing companionship, but I maintain standard daytime flexibility to leave the home as needed, ensuring I am never away for more than 4 hours at a time. CONSTANT CARE: If your pet has severe separation anxiety or medical needs requiring intensive, around-the-clock supervision (3-hour or shorter away windows), a custom daytime premium of $25 per day/night will be added to cover the full 24 hours of dedicated care. I treat every home I enter with the highest level of care. I am exceptionally quiet, tidy, and clean. Please review my detailed breakdown below regarding my seasonal availability and typical daily routines to see how we can set up the perfect care schedule for your pet! Because I live full-time on the road, my primary focus is dedicated to the pets in my care! To keep things completely transparent, here is how I manage my availability: ARIZONA WINTER BOOKINGS: During the winter season, pet care is my 100% full-time focus with wide-open availability. I plan to be available in the Tempe/Phoenix area from December 7th, 2026- February 28th, 2027. UTAH BOOKINGS: During the rest of the year, I operate a part-time house cleaning business. I carefully structure my cleaning days so that I am never away from your pet for more than 4 hours at a time. I will always let you know in advance or during your booking request if your booking dates coincides with one of my scheduled cleanings. I'm happy to make changes if necessary to my cleaning schedule if this poses to be an issue, I just need enough time in advance to communicate and make those accomadations. SERVICE FRAMEWORK: To ensure high-quality care, individual time caps apply to drop-in services (1 to 2 hours max) and dog walks (30 minutes to 1 hour max). House sitting bookings operate within flexible arrival windows to account for traffic or weather. I treat your home and your pets with the absolute highest level of care, cleanliness, and respect. HOME SELF-SUFFICIENCY: Because my home travels with me, I am uniquely self-sufficient. For house sitting, I typically sleep in my fully-equipped van parked outside to give your pets daytime companionship while keeping your home private. If your pet requires overnight company inside, I am happy to accommodate that upon request. RESPECTING YOUR SPACE: For longer stays, I may minimally use the kitchen or bathroom as needed—always providing my own food and keeping your space entirely tidy. I am also happy to help collect mail or water plants upon request! CAT SAFETY: To ensure their absolute safety, I strictly adhere to indoor-only boundaries during my visits and always double-check doors and windows upon entering and leaving.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, parakeets, hamsters, and more. I’ve taken care of friends' pets and house-sat while they were away on vacation. Each pet has a unique personality and it’s important that we quickly pick up on what they do and don’t like. I do have two babies (cats) of my own so I am not able to offer overnight services. I can usually do most weekday evenings and some weekends depending in my day job’s schedule. Weekend availability is updated the week before the start of a new month. My cats are my world! I give them daily brushings, and make sure to take time to play with them. It’s so important to keep pets engaged with activities and distractions. A playful pet is a happy pet. A fresh clean water bowl and timely meals are also important as pets love having a routine.

“Emily was wonderful! I wish we had found her sooner. She was very responsive, communicative and timely. She was excellent with my dogs and made sure she knew all about them before their first walk. One of my dogs is fearful and Emily was very kind to her and went slowly with her. Within several minutes, they were good friends and my dog was seeking belly rubs from Emily. My other dog recently went through a major surgery and I really appreciate that Emily listened to her and turned around to head back home when she had enough. I highly recommend Emily and will be booking with her again. Thank you Emily!!”

About: I grew up with pets and consider them to be a part of the family! Many pets naturally gravitate towards me and when that happens it's usually a match made in heaven! Then when both of us are wagging our tails...we will be as happy as two peas in a pod until your return :-) Available for house sitting 6 days a week. I am flexible with my schedule and can do my best to work around what is needed. Staying as close to the Pet's normal routine I find is ideal. Knowing eating, sleeping, potty times and Always Important is...what Treats/Toys make their Tails spin!!! Sometimes they spin also :-)

About: Hi! I’m Evelyn, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom to three friendly dogs and three cats. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves playing fetch, going on long walks, or simply curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from tiny lap dogs to large, active breeds like Huskies and Australian Shepherds. I work part-time four evenings a week (Monday–Wednesday and Saturday from 4–10 PM). On Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, I’m home all day. For boarding, your pet will still have company while I’m at work. My husband is home during my evening shifts, so our home is rarely empty. We work together to make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised playtime and three friendly resident dogs who love making new friends. Introductions are always done slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when requested or if it’s part of their normal routine. Otherwise, pets are welcome to relax with us in the home. We also have baby gates throughout the house, allowing us to separate pets whenever needed for everyone’s comfort and safety.

She came ultra prepared, took time to get Gigi comfortable and brought her back more happy and content than ever. Gigi is a nervous dog and it’s always made me worried to have a new person walk her but she LOVED Meghan and was sad to see her go. Now my only worry is that Gigi will prefer Meghan to me lol.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kearns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kearns is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $18 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 November 2026, there are 4,256 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kearns. 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 Kearns. 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 Kearns 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 Kearns. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
