“Savannah was incredible! She showed up on time and spent extra time on her walk with Layka. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. In her meet and greet (introduction) she asked very pointed questions and had a great follow up. She treats your pet like her own and shows you right away that she cares about your animal.”
“Hannah was extremely valuable as a last minute reservation for dog walking! She communicated very well and treated our pups with all the attention and love. Would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! Living in the same neighborhood during my childhood, I was the go-to pet sitter on the street. I love creating a safe and loving space for animals, and ensuring you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is taken care of! I’m currently working M-F at a coffee shop but my hours vary depending on the day. I can be free at any time! I live in town, super close to most places. I have my own transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.
“Brianna is the best! Her dog walking services have made my life so much easier. My puppers loves her and I truly enjoy the photos I get each time she takes him on a walk. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up my entire life! I love to take care and hangout with them! I also love to go on walks with dogs! I’m currently a student at Montana state university! My week schedule is decently open so I have a lot of flexibility. Some weekends I out of town but I am able to stay in Bozeman if need be! I care for animals like they are my own! I care about their safety and well being. I also make sure they get what they need activity wise.
About: Hi! I have a year of experience volunteering at Heart of the valley animal shelter here in Bozeman, as well as several years of dog/house sitting! Additionally, I have experience working in a senior care center for individuals with dementia. I’m currently working part time and a college student, which means I have some flexibility in my schedule! I’m available Monday and Wednesday 12:30-2:00 and anytime after 4:30. Tuesday and Thursday I’m available anytime before 8am and anytime after 5:45pm. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and any special requests. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, locking doors, and leaving everything just as I found it.
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 15 and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve walked neighbors’ dogs and volunteered at local shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or quiet company, I give each pet the attention they deserve. ❤️ I am working part time and will only be out of the house around 4 hours on weekdays. I also have awesome roommates who use Rover and we help each other out when needed. I have a house with lots of outdoor space (not fenced) and 4 female roommates who love animals. Your pup will get lots of attention and care!
About: I have a lot of experience caring for all sorts of pets of all sizes. I love the excitement that comes with each and every pet. They are all unique! I have a flexible schedule and am looking for regular walks and services. I am originally from bozeman and recently moved back to the area after a few years out of state. Happy to be home! Unfortunately I cannot have pets at my apartment but I have reliable transportation and flexible schedule to meet the needs of you and your pet.
About: Hi! While I’m an Alabama native, my husband is originally from Bozeman! We moved back here to his hometown after the birth of our first niece in early 2025. I currently have almost 100% open availability to help with your furry (or scaly or fuzzy or feathered) friends! Feel free to reach out to confirm if the dates you need assistance work with my schedule. I have a lifetime of experience with all animals (well most). I have experience with the obvious (dogs, cats, fish, etc) but also am well versed in care for reptiles big and small, turtles, frogs, birds, and invertebrates. I personally have at home a sweet old lady tarantula, Cranberry, 2 feisty rescue cats named Alice and Benny, a chihuahua mix, Stella, and our precious 3 year old Golden Retriever, Chief. Thanks so much, please reach out with any questions! I’m currently not working a traditional 9-5 job, so that means I have plenty of time to help out fellow pet lovers in the area make sure their critters have the most exceptional care while they’re away or unavailable. I care for all pet kiddos like they’re my own! Animals in my care get all the hugs, kisses, and pets (within their comfort level). I also try to ensure that pet parents receive a very detailed description of our time together along with many photos!
About: I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting since middle school. I’ve always had a love for dogs of any size. I love being able to give them the one on one attention they deserve whether it’s with a walk, run, playing fetch or just scratching their belly! I value trust and the relationship with the dog as well as their owner. Their dogs are their family! I’m an early riser and while I love to be on the trails, I don’t travel much which makes me more readily available for your furry friend! I appreciate being able to give dogs one on one attention. Playing with toys, going on walks or scratching their bellies is my forte! In my opinion, our pets are our family members! I think it’s important for the dog to trust whoever is watching them so I prefer to meet the dog once with the owner before I watch alone so the owner also feels comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 14 years old. My main experience in home has been with small/medium sized breeds as I have always lived in an apartment. However, I have dog sat larger breeds for my neighbors and a few friends before as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter called NKLA with best friends society. Here I worked with cats and dogs. I cleaned kennels, socialized with animals to prepare them for adoption, and walked multiple dogs (mainly pitbull breeds). I have owned my own dog for the last 2.5 years who is a medium sized chihuahua/pitbull mix named Athena. She’s on a routine feeding schedule and is walked every 4-6 hours, last time being at 10pm. I have experience with bathing dogs but only have a tub at this current apartment. No grooming experience. I am also comfortable administering medications as my pup takes her own! I have also worked in small animal veterinary medicine. Currently work nights at MSU so I’m available anytime before 4pm. Also have Fridays and Saturdays off but tend to work our football games on occasion! I update my availability frequently once I know I’m out of town as well. I currently have a fenced in back-yard along with a very spacious home with an additional dog bed and a medium sized kennel as needed. My dog is super friendly minus feeding times which would be separated. I like to make sure at least a 30 minute walk twice a day is given & at least an hour overall of playtime. Especially for more energetic breeds!
“Val was so prompt and reliable when picking Evie up from my workplace, and the two of them had a lovely walk! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t recommend Val more. Evie clearly had a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Val again!”

Taylor does a fantastic job. He was available very last minute for me and always does a great job. He shows up on time and does exactly what is asked of him. Layka loves to go on her walks with him as well. Very reliable, I would highly recommend him for whatever your need may be:)
Savannah was incredible! She showed up on time and spent extra time on her walk with Layka. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. In her meet and greet (introduction) she asked very pointed questions and had a great follow up. She treats your pet like her own and shows you right away that she cares about your animal.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Kerns is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 November 2026, there are 552 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kerns. 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 Kerns. 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 Kerns 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 Kerns. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
