About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets for the past 10 years. This includes my own pets as well are others, such as neighbors, family, and friend’s pets. I have a full time job as a 4th grade teacher during the weekdays. I am available after 4:00 most days and I am available all day on the weekends. I can walk your dog as well as take some time to play, feed, or crate them if need be. I love to get out and get some exercise so I would love to walk and play with your pet!
About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.
“Very pleasant and reliable. Can’t say enough about Yana. When it’s time for Zeus’s walk he sit by the dog waiting eagerly. She is great with my Zeus. Yana is great. I would highly recommend her”
“Cindy is wonderful with my Senior Dog and caters to his needs on every walk and feeding. She takes her time and has patience with him. She makes sure he’s comfortable and always gives updates and communicates after every walk.”
“Shirali was wonderful and my boys instantly got along with her. Very communicative, and I could tell she truly enjoyed my pups. I will definitely be using her in the future if she is available!”
“Diana did a wonderful job with my dog, Porter. She was very good communicating and sending pictures. He seemed very happy when I got home. I look forward to working with Diana again!”
“Vanessa and her partner were very sweet, caring and diligent when caring for my dog Finn. They took him on long walks and provided lots of photos and summaries of their time together. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!!”
“Ruby takes such good care of our Golden Retriever puppy. She’s always on time and gives detailed updates about how the walks go. Ruby is kind, easy to communicate with, and we know our pup is in great hands while we’re at work!”
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.
“Wilson was wonderful. We are a big order given we have one anxious dog AND my 80yr old FIL likes to walk with his dogs. Wilson was gentle, kind, and patient with both the pups and Dad.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home with Rottweilers, which taught me early on the importance of proper care, structure, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve lived with rescue dogs and have also fostered dogs in the past, gaining experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I live in a home with a rescue St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog. While they aren’t my own dogs, I spend a large amount of my time caring for them, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I’ve worked with many breeds and mixes, including Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, French Bulldogs, St. Bernard, Labs, Doodle mixes, Pomeranians, Boxers, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide care that meets each dog’s individual needs while making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work part time as a yoga teacher and have an open schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekend for daytime visits to take your pets out and on walks depending on what you need. I currently do not have any pets of my own which makes overnight stays to care for your pets easy. I will come to your home for to care for your pet and offer them the services you wish to have for them. Whether that be overnight stays, daytime dog walks, offering meals, or even just some outdoor playtime in your backyard.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals, from yorkies to labradors and a ten year old cat! I will be sure to listen to your pet’s every need. I am new to Rover, but I am looking forward to meeting your animal! I am a very active individual and can help your best friend get all of their energy out. I can go on walks up to 2 hours. I am an avid runner so if your dog loves to go a little faster, I can keep up! I have helped clicker train a puppy, and I have hid pills in cheese before and made sure they weren’t spit out! I work full-time 9am to 5pm, so I have availability in the early morning or after work. I am free most weekends, and I update my calendar as soon as I am aware I am unavailable. I have a semi-unpredictable schedule, so I cannot take any repeat requests. I would love to spend multiple hours walking or just hanging out with your pet! I do not have the ability to have pets in my apartment, so I am not able to board any animals in my own home.

Xinzhi was amazing with my puppy! She was very responsive to any messages and sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. She even worked on some commands with him to help train him since he is still young. I highly recommend booking Xinzhi for your dog!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Martinsville on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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 Martinsville. 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 Martinsville.

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 Martinsville. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
