“Abby is always on time, communicative, and takes the best care of our golden-doodle! She is great with our dog and it is clear she loves animals. I highly recommend Abby!”
“Brooke was great! She responded super quickly even though I had a last minute emergency booking and she was great at sending pictures and updates on the walks. Thank you so much!”
“Dustin has been wonderful! He's very gentle with Larry and very kind. I noticed he takes note of Larry's harness and if it's too loose or uncomfy for him. Larry loves him! I definitely recommend hiring Dustin for walks.”
“I can't thank Sam enough for the amazing communication and great care he takes of Meilah when he comes to let her out. My neighbors say he is great allowing her to sniff around and go potty. She is always very relaxed when we get home from work.”
About: When I was younger I used to take care of my neighbors dogs, house sit for them and walk their dogs. I've also raised other animals, like ducks, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. People have always called me the animal whisperer, i've rescued animals and returned them back to wildlife lots of times in my life, and i just think animals (ALL PETS) bring me so much joy and peace , I would do anything for just about any animal that lives, to make their life as fulfilled and loved as i can. My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands! Hello, my availability is posted in my calendar, please check to see if the dates you need a sitter are available in my schedule. If so I will be more than happy to watch after your animals! Thank you! I like to maintain schedule, dietary restrictions, exercise, walking and feeding schedules. Any maintenance that comes along with watching after your pets. You let me know what you need, and I can do it.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every animal as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience caring for pets through managing homes and vacation rentals, along with volunteering for animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, where I worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, administering basic routines, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I’m very detail-oriented, dependable, and communicative, so pet parents always know their animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and manage my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and companionship instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for them feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just a job. I also keep my schedule organized and communicate well with pet parents so they always feel informed and comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully while giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. Because I work from home and manage my own schedule, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I have experience with animals of different temperaments through volunteering with animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, so I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets that may need extra patience and attention.
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.

“Autumn was really great, I live in a condo and she gratiously met me earlier in the week to meet my two dogs and pick up the keys. My two can be little barkers but they definitely took to Autumn and did well even on Halloween night. They can be barkers when I walk with them but Autumn said that the tricker treaters didn't bother them at all, so Autumn must have worked some magic with them. I totally recommend Autumn and will be asking her again in the future. Thank you so much Autumn. Appreciate you so much for doing the walk on Halloween.”
About: Hi, we’re Eric and Cassie! We’re passionate animal lovers and proud pet parents to a loving, goofy Golden Retriever. We understand that pets are family, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. We would love the opportunity to provide your furry friends with the attention, affection, and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet's routine, we’ll treat them as if they were our own. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Eric is currently only taking grad classes over the summer so his schedule is very flexible. We are both very active individuals so we love going for multiple walks daily and would love to fit your pet into our cadence. Eric am 6'4 and able to handle dogs big and small on a leash. As a Special Educator (and dog owner), I am familiar with positive reinforcement and use it when walking dogs. Cassie has grown up taking care of her neighbors animals while they were on vacation and loves to spend time playing with them, sitting with them and getting their energy out.
About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life and have owned five dogs over the years. I have experience with Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Dachshunds, Terriers, and Chiweenies. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand how to properly care for our four-legged companions and am committed to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well looked after. I am available Friday through Sunday, as well as before and after my college classes Monday through Thursday. I also have flexibility around my part-time job at a food restaurant, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged companions. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I live near two dog parks in a walkable area, making it easy to provide your four-legged companion with plenty of exercise when needed. I also have a variety of dog toys to keep them entertained and engaged. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will bring dog waste bags and a few of their favorite toys—or some of my own—to ensure they have a fun and comfortable experience.
About: I am new to Rover :)) I have taken care of dogs since high school. I graduated college in 2023 with a degree in Health Sciences. I am currently working as an aide at a physical therapy clinic, and looking to make extra money. I love pet sitting and caring for animals is one of my strong suits. I am always willing to accommodate you and your dogs needs and I will always care for them like they are my own! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am a home body, so I am always at home and also have my mom and grandmom in the home to help if need be. In a clients home, I will leave it completely up to you, how I walk, feed, crate, etc. your dog. But I will always care for your dog as if they were my own! For pet sitting at my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but I usually walk the dogs on leashes around my yard or take them to the park by my house to walk them. I can crate them anywhere in the home if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys/crates/ dog accessories from my own dog.
“This is the first time I’ve booked with Alicia and she was so friendly and great with my dog! She even went out of her way to help me with a key swap. She came by for a meet and greet before our trip and always spent a minimum of 30 minutes walking my dog and/or taking him to the dog park for some play time.”
About: I have owned, trained and cared for dogs, cats and horses over the last 17 years. I also work with a dog rescue organization in the area and have fostered over 40 dogs in the last 3 years. As an avid animal lover I understand the significant impact that owning animals has on our ability to travel and relax when away. I want to provide people the opportunity to travel care-free while their dogs enjoy the best care being boarded in my home. I have a very dog-friendly house with a fully secure fenced in yard. I work from home so dogs receive attention all day and night and get lots of playtime. Dogs boarded here will get free roam of the house but can also have and use a crate at the owner’s request. I am able to feed special diets and give medication as needed. If your dog stays here they will be welcomed into my house as if they were one of my own. Dogs that come here should be friendly with both male and female dogs. There are no cats in the home. I am also available for lunch time, evening and weekend dog walking. I work from home and am here almost all of the time for boarding in my home. I am also available to provide dog walks during the week in the evenings, sometimes over lunch and on the weekends. Dogs cared for in my home will be treated as if they were my own. They are able to roam about the house and use the full fenced yard. Dogs are allowed on my bed and on the couches in the home, in addition to the many dog beds throughout. Owners can expect frequent photos and updates on their pup!

About: I am a mom to a 7 and 9 year old. I also have an 18 year old stepdaughter. We have 2 dogs: Luke (doxie-poo) who is mostly blind and deaf and Sunny (Havapoo) who loves to play! We also have chickens and 2 barn cats (Aster and Harvest). I currently work 2 jobs at different schools. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I work 10:45-1:45. Tuesday and Thursday I work 8:30-12. I am off during the summer hanging out with my kids and attending to their love of sports, friends and being outside! Before becoming a mom I worked at PetSmart for 12 years. I started off working with the small animals, birds, reptiles and fish (so if you need someone to watch them, we could figure something out). Then I was a general manager for the PetsHotel. We ran camp everyday for 5-50 dogs. We also accommodated over 150 dogs for overnight stays. I love meeting new pet parents and of course snuggling up with new puppy friends. I have experience with not only watching and caring for dogs but I have also dealt with medical emergency situations and know what to do. If you have a bigger senior dog or a big dog that isn't too energetic that would be fine. I would love to meet you and your pet(s)! I am still at home for the majority of the day if not the whole day. There may be a few times I would need to bring my kids with me but they will not be in the way. I will make sure that all doors are closed before letting your dog out of the crate. When walking, I like to use a slip leash as well as your own leash.
“I just starting a new job and was not going to be able to come home at lunch to walk my pups myself, Rover made it super fast in helping me locate Julain. Within hours after requesting service he was at my apartment walking Bella and Tanner. Couldn’t have been anymore painless!! Thank You!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mainland on Rover is $21.09 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 9,653 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mainland. 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 Mainland. 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 Mainland.
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 Mainland. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
