“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”
About: I have worked in many different aspects of caring for animals, from shelters, to a boarding facility. I also volunteer for an animal shelter. I pet sit for friends often and love to do it!! I am obsessed with animals, ask anybody that knows me!! ☺️ I have at least 8 years experience working with animals. I have also had dogs my whole life, and currently have a sheltie puppy named Rosie. I have mainly worked with large breeds of dogs, but I love all dogs! I also have a passion for cats, and love to analyze their behavior and see why they react versus ‘that was bad.’ Please let me know if you are interested in me helping you and your pets! Thank you!
“Summer is awesome and everyone who wants their dogs walked should be reaching out! Very communicative and she came back to my house after leaving to check on their water after I forgot to mention it. Very kind of her to do that.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years now with experience with any age or size of dog. I am very flexible with your or your pets needs. I offer all services available. I am home full time so I am able to be with your dog and provide potty and play breaks several times during the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! I am home full time so your dog will never be alone.
About: I have grown up with two lovely pups in my house. I helped taking care of them and even helped in training our hunting dog! I love being around animals and especially dogs. I am currently a college student I go to school at the university of Minnesota state Mankato. I am majoring in sports management with a minor in marketing. Moving back to college means I’m away from my dog at home. I am not ready to commit to getting a dog of my own due to living in an apartment, but I wanted the opportunity to be around dogs. So, that’s when I found rover and thought it would be perfect for someone like me! I give a lot of attention to the dogs and of course love to take them on long walks as I am quite active myself.

As of October 2026, there are 598 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kilkenny. 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 Kilkenny. 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.

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.
