“Alexis did a fantastic job with Forest! She was on time and patient with him who can be a bit of a handful. We hired Alexis to play with Forest for 30 min and she brought him back nice and exhausted with a big smile on his face.”

“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of Prince while I was out of town! She was reliable, attentive, and communicated very well throughout my trip. She was also flexible and handled some unexpected changes at my home with ease, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Prince was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Hannah and would happily book her again!”

About: I've been a proud Bernedoodle parent for 7 years, so I know firsthand how much your dog means to you. I've also volunteered at an animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including Yorkies, Poodles, and Golden Retrievers. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable with feeding routines, medication reminders, leash walking, and keeping dogs calm and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like family and send regular photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work from home, which means your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate early drop-offs, late pickups, last-minute requests, weekends, and holidays. I build my day around the pets in my care, with regular walks, playtime, meals on schedule, and plenty of cuddles. I'm always reachable by message for updates or questions. Safety is my top priority. I follow your pet's routine exactly, including feeding, walks, and bedtime. Dogs are always supervised, kept on a leash outdoors, and never left unattended in the yard. I keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of hazards like toxic foods or loose cords. I'll meet you beforehand so your dog can get comfortable, keep your emergency and vet contacts on hand, and contact you right away if anything comes up. Your pet's comfort and wellbeing always come first.

About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.

“Seth is absolutely fantastic! He met our dog prior to visiting and made sure they had a good introduction. Then when it was time for his walk he came right on time, took him for a nice long walk, and put him back in his crate leaving him with a pupcicle so he could settle back in on his own. We will definitely use Seth again for walking Lincoln!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 9, and friends & neighbors have relied on me ever since! I love cats and dogs, and spent a lot of time volunteering in shelters with both. Anything you need, I can do it! I work in real estate so I have a flexible work schedule each day, and I'm happy to get some exercise in by walking your dogs as often as needed in the morning and afternoons/evening :) I would be happy to care for your pets by taking them on walks, or house-sitting for you while you’re away. I have plenty of experience house-sitting for families through here, so keeping your home in excellent condition comes second nature to me!

About: I grew up with a house full of pets including cats, dogs, and budgies. Currently I have my own cat Cloe and a turtle named Joe. I have experience caring for my elderly childhood cat who requires chemo pills, laxatives, and special food. Im currently searching for employment so my schedule is completely open. Can work weekends and weekdays at any time, preferably weekdays 10 am to 5pm. At my apartment I care for my 4 year old feline. She likes to play with her string toy and watch cat tv. Shes very food motivated so we always have treats on hand. At my parents house we have a fenced in backyard for the dog and lots of indoor space for their 4 cats. My childhood cat needs medication and special food so he is fed seperately from the other 3 cats. Every cat i've ever owend has been exclusively indoor.

“Meli is an amazing dog caregiver! She genuinely loves my dog, Uma, and it shows in everything she does. She brings him treats and even celebrated her birthday with him! That was incredibly sweet. ❤️ She also noticed some changes in Uma's health and brought them to my attention, allowing us to address them with our vet in a timely manner. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring she is. Meli always goes above and beyond. She often spends more than the scheduled 30 minutes with Uma and adjusts their walks to his needs. And the best part? Uma absolutely adores her! He practically jumps to the ceiling with excitement whenever she arrives! I couldn't ask for a more loving, thoughtful, and trustworthy person to care for my dog. We are so lucky to have her!”

About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Makleys Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 14,870 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Makleys Corner. 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 Makleys Corner. 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 Makleys Corner 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 Makleys Corner. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
