Michael is amazing! Contacted him about walking our pups. He responded within an hour and set up a meet and greet. When walking our pups he provided many details about the walk as well as pictures. We will definitely have him walk our pups again. Great experience

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

About: For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I currently work as a part-time before/aftercare teacher at a couple different elementary schools. I work Monday-Friday but have availability from 9:30am-2:30pm and after 6 pm. My weekends are free! I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water. I also take her on walks, to the park or play fetch in our backyard which has a good amount of running space for her. She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

Upon reading reviews here on Rover, I was drawn to Nick’s profile; he seemed sincere, genuine, and caring. My instincts were correct and he has gone above and beyond to make sure my dog had the care and exercise that she needed. His punctuality is exemplary, as are his communication skills. I’m grateful to have found Nick, and I’m sure my Gracie is too.

About: Hello, I'm Lisa. For my entire life, I have lived with and cared for pets of all ages, life stages, and diverse needs. I specialize in providing meticulous, high-level care that prioritizes both the physical safety and emotional comfort of your animals. ------ Whether assisting senior dogs with mobility challenges, maintaining precise puppy routines, or navigating complex medical requirements, I treat every pet with the gentle, respectful care they deserve. I pride myself on being patient, highly observant, and adaptive to each pet's unique personality. ------ If you are looking for a reliable, responsible professional who puts your pet's total well-being first, I would love to connect for a Meet & Greet! ------- After a rewarding 20-year corporate career, I am dedicating myself full-time to providing premium, boutique pet care out of my Middletown home, complete with a large fenced yard and a dedicated rest room. To welcome my first wave of neighbors to my new Rover profile, I am offering exclusive, limited-time introductory launch rates—check them out on my Services page. ------ Book now to secure experienced, 24/7 care for your pet at a special introductory price while I establish my platform reviews! From the Corporate Ladder to the Dog Park! After 20 years in the fast-paced world of market research, I decided it was finally time to trade the corporate rat race for something far more rewarding: the puppy race (and the kitty cuddle). ------ With my kids raised and my spreadsheets officially closed, I am channeling two decades of project management, laser-focused observation, and high-level problem-solving into a new daily routine—one completely dedicated to the happiness and well-being of your pets. ------ My schedule is no longer ruled by corporate deadlines, which means I have the flexibility, energy, and time to give your canine and feline friends my undivided attention. ------ My daily routine is built around consistency and care: -- Morning Brisk Walks & Fresh Air: Perfect for high-energy pups who need a great start to their day. -- Mid-Day Check-Ins & Routine Maintenance: Keeping puppies on track, administering timed medications, and ensuring seniors get the gentle care and mobility assistance they need. -- Afternoon Feline Focus: Dedicated quiet time for litter box maintenance, precise feeding, and earning the trust of your cats on their own terms. ------ I’ve traded analyzing consumer behavior for interpreting tail wags and cat purrs—and honestly, the data says this is going to be my best chapter yet. I am fully available, entirely flexible, and ready for this adventure! Your Peace of Mind is My Priority! -- Bringing someone new into your home or trusting them with your furry family member is a big deal - I get it. My 20 years in a detail-oriented corporate environment means "good enough" isn't in my vocabulary. Whether I am caring for your pets under my roof or yours, I treat safety as a non-negotiable metric and your home with the utmost respect. ------ In Your Home: Respect, Security & Seamless Routines When I visit your home, my goal is to leave it exactly as I found it and ensure your pet’s routine doesn't skip a beat. - Bulletproof Security: I double-check locks, secure gates, and follow your precise instructions for alarms and key handling. - Meticulous Environmental Checks: I keep an eye out for hidden hazards (like loose cords or dropped food) and ensure water bowls are pristine and litter boxes are spotless. - Respecting the Sanctuary: Your home is your sanctuary. I operate with total discretion, cleanliness, and respect for your space. ------ In My Home: A Safe, Cozy Haven When your pet stays with me, they aren't just guest-starring in my week... they are part of the family. - The "Empty Nest" Advantage: With my kids grown, my home is a calm, predictable, and predictable environment. There are no chaotic schedules or unexpected guests, just a space dedicated entirely to pet comfort and security. - The Best of Both Worlds (Play & Peace): I have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for burning off energy and exploring safely. - Built-in Buddies or Solo Space: Your pup can socialize and play with my two friendly resident dogs. However, if your pet prefers their own space or needs a quiet nap, I have a dedicated separate room where they can rest, recharge, and enjoy some peaceful time away from the pack. - Constant Supervision: Because this is my full-time focus, your pet receives dedicated, watchful supervision, plenty of companionship, and immediate attention to their emotional and physical needs. ------ The Bottom Line on Trust I am fully committed to open communication. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I manage safety with a professional eye and deliver care with a mother's heart.

About: I’ve always had 3+ pets at a time in my household growing up, always a combination of dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with small and large dogs! I have experience feeding, walking, giving some medicines and playing with all pets. I have experience with aging pets, including senior cats and diabetic dogs requiring insulin. I’m currently working full-time in person, but my boyfriend does work fully remote from our apartment. We are happy to host your pet if they need attention during the day! I’m also available to come by any time after work or on the weekends. I always ensure the environment is safe, nothing that could be harmful is in reach of the pets. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a great area to walk around.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog as well as watching dogs for friends and family. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, reinforcing household routines, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need. What sets me apart is that I understand how important it is to treat every dog like a member of the family. I am dependable, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they can feel secure and happy in my care. I am also comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels and can accommodate special instructions from owners to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I am a school psychologist off for the summer. I am available through Labor Day for more full time care, and on week nights and weekends during the school year. I have a fenced in yard that is pet friendly! I have a very active five year old golden doodle, so my home is pet proofed.

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Leonardo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Leonardo on Rover is $24.61 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 26,596 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Leonardo. 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 Leonardo. 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 Leonardo.

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 Leonardo. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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.
