About: What sets me apart is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up with dogs for most of my life and had the opportunity to care for and dog-sit my own dog, Angel, who was a very special part of my family. Although Angel passed away last year and I haven’t had a dog of my own since, caring for her gave me years of firsthand experience understanding a dog’s needs, personality, routines, and the importance of patience and companionship. I’m also a proud cat mom to two cats, Daisy and Tulip, who I’ve cared for over the past three years. My experience with them has taught me just how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, companionship, or simply someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet as an individual and would give them the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own pets. I work from home, so I am able to walk dogs everyday when I am able to move from my computer after completing my task. My home is available to all furry animals. My apartment complex are pet friendly and has a dog park in the area where I am able to allow them to play and have fun!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) and have had several dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a dog. I’ve also spent time learning about dog training and behavior, which has helped me better understand how dogs communicate, learn, and respond to their environment. I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and adjusting my approach to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after work and on weekends to assist with your canine companions. I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care and give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’ll work with your schedule and do my best to make things convenient and stress-free for both you and your dog! I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog at home who loves to play and make new friends! Your dog will have a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of attention. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours, I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Kalani is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative and great with our pups. She is really wonderful with our higher-maintenance dog who is a runner and quite a barker. She is patient with him and takes great care to make sure he’s safe and secure. Best of all, we never have to worry about our pups on the days she’s scheduled to walk them. We’re so grateful!

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra patience, and gentle care. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they can stay happy and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection while ensuring they're always supervised and secure.

I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience and specialized skills in handling dogs of all ages and temperaments. I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, which allows me to provide tailored care and training to meet the unique needs of each dog. I am well-versed in training puppies, focusing on foundational skills and positive reinforcement techniques to foster good behavior and a strong bond. For senior dogs, I offer compassionate care that includes managing age-related issues such as mobility challenges and medical needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and happy. In addition to training and age-specific care, I am committed to maintaining a structured routine that promotes a sense of security and well-being. My approach combines attentive supervision with engaging activities, making sure your dog receives both mental and physical stimulation. This personalized and holistic approach ensures that every dog in my care receives the attention and care they deserve. Getting to take care of animals simply is one of the most rewarding things around. Dogs are always so giving towards us, so I believe that it is my duty to give back to them whenever possible! Dogs have certainly done so much for my life and I simply want to make sure they have all the love and kindness they need to thrive. Getting to meet new dogs and help people out all at once is a dream come true for me! Although I’ll be the primary caregiver for your dog, my home is full of puppy love! I currently live with my significant other, and they are a huge dog lover! They’ve had dogs for their whole life and is always happy to bring a new pup into the mix. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Perhaps the best thing about me as a sitter is that I’m a full-time dog lover! I am home every day except for Thursday which means that your pup will have all the love and attention that they need. No one likes to keep their pooch cooped up in a kennel all day, so I make sure that they can roam free and clear as they please! As I’m home all day except for Thursday, I’m the perfect fit for dogs that are used to having their human around them during the day--or for ones that could benefit from that! If you can't afford my prices I can work with you on the price you can afford it's no problem. As a pet sitter, your routine might look something like this: - **Morning:** Arrive to feed the pets, take them for a walk, and handle any bathroom breaks. - **Midday:** Check in again for a short visit, playtime, or a quick walk, depending on the pet’s needs. - **Evening:** Return to feed the pets again, provide companionship, and handle any additional exercise or bathroom breaks. I care for parts in my home all my clients home by making sure they're safe to have the food and taking them for walks and playing with their toys with them everyday.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Marlow Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Marlow Heights on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 16,342 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Marlow Heights. 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 Marlow Heights. 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 Marlow Heights.

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 Marlow Heights. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
