About: Over the past 7 years, I have had the incredible opportunity to walk and sit for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors who prefer a leisurely stroll. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I take great pride in the trust that pet owners place in me. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pet and treat them as my own. I also have a dog-walking business license. My husband & I are both self-employed, so our schedules are flexible, we have plenty of time to take care of your pet and always have someone at home. I don’t have a yard, but I do have a balcony and deck. I have a child who loves playing fetch and running with the dogs. Additionally, I walk my clients’ dogs 3 times a week, so I can take your pet on a long walk with others. If needed, I can also run your dog or play fetch in the park or on the beach. I can also crate your dog if necessary.

About: Throughout high school, I would help dog-sit for family friends. I was very reliable and able to help feed, walk, and play with their animals. I also cared for coworkers' animals when they were gone for vacation, and I was entrusted with keeping their living space clean. Growing up, I had four large dogs: 2 labs and 2 boxer mixes. I work as a vet assistant, so I have hands-on experience when it comes to administering medication. I currently work part-time as a vet assistant, so I have a lot of free time on the days I don't go in, giving me plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I'm available most days throughout the week; just reach out! I like to go in and make it seem like I was never there. Simply do what is asked of me and leave without causing any disturbance. When it comes to the fur babies, I like to care for them as if they are my own and treat them like my own pets. I'm more than happy to help tidy up any place as well.

About: I’m a responsible, dedicated animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a former dog owner, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats—giving me a well-rounded understanding of their different needs and personalities. My partner, Heber, is also experienced in caring for pets and is included on my profile. We work together to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and at home. We’re attentive to details, follow care instructions closely, and have experience with basic training, administering medication and always prioritizing your pet’s happiness, health, and routine. We love staying active with pets through walks, park visits, and playtime, making sure they stay happy and well cared for. I believe in taking care of pets as if they were a part of my family because they are yours! I am looking forward to being able to help out you and your pet and meeting a new friend! I currently work full-time but have the flexibility to work remotely on certain days. I’m fully available on weekends and happy to wake up early to feed, walk, and care for your fur baby, making sure they stay on their routine and feel well taken care of. I’m happy to care for your fur baby based on their specific routine and needs. I have experience administering medication, providing walks as needed, and crate care when required. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their usual routine and giving them the care and love they’re used to.

I wouldn't hesitate to book Gage again, and was grateful that he was able to accommodate a fairly last minute request for a week of 8am walks!”

Audrey was so fantastic with walking our dog Prescott. She was kind, thorough, and knowledgeable. She was patient as well, as our dog can be quite stubborn on walks! Thank you for helping walk our boy Audrey! Would love to have you walk him again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - McNears Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in McNears Beach is $34 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 10,541 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across McNears Beach. 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 McNears Beach. 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 McNears Beach 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 McNears Beach. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
