Jen was very flexible with my schedule and reliable. It is as a relief to know that my dog was in good hands and got to go for a walk while I was at work.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. Whether it was my own while my parents were gone or friends and neighbors as I got older. I have cared for both really active dogs that need to run all the time and older slower pets that need a lot of attention to details. I am currently a student at Western Oregon University enjoying my summer break back home. So I am available any time as I can create my own schedule. I can’t keep pets here but I am willing and able to do anything needed whether it is crating or making sure they are properly leashed if need be. I can also just watch as they run around!

About: We have had dogs all of my life. The past 4 years have been hard since my girls aged and crossed the rainbow bridge. I don’t have a place to have a dog now, so I would be grateful to spend some time with yours. I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home. I feel like this is a way I can help supplement my income by providing quality care to pet families in need. I am a conscience adult who has had several background checks for work. No drugs, criminal history, etc. I will care for your pet as my own abiding by your care instructions.

Destiny has provided exceptional dog walking service for three weeks now. She was willing to take the extra steps necessary to build trust with my dog. We set up a meet and greet on a public trail and then, she came to the house to help my anxious, Copper-dog, get comfortable having her in his home. Destiny's calm, kind, grounded nature put Copper at ease immediately. I have peace of mind with Destiny walking Copper while I am away. She is responsible, reliable and a great communicator. I am so grateful to have found a dog walker I can trust with my special-needs creature.

Charlotte did a great job. Arrived on time and managed to calm down my over rambunctious dogs. Scarlett came back a very happy and tired dog. Thank you so much. I do not need any more walks at the moment but will be happy to get her again next time my daughter leaves them with me.

About: I grew up in a house multiple dogs and cats and currently have a dog and 6 cats living with me. I fostered and raised new born cats and had volunteered at an animal shelter. I take pride in taking care of pets and the shelter animals and do plan of becoming a veterinarian in my future. I've dog sat my aunt's dog a few times whenever she visited. I'll play with my dog often as to keep him from getting into things he shouldn't. I'm the one who spends time with our dog and cats whenever my mother is at work and am the one to take the dog on evening and sometimes morning walks. I have also spent nights in my mum's place so her dog would know someone is there whenever she went out of town. I usually will always love and care for the furbabies alongside my own giving them the love they need and deserve. Currently I'm not working but do plan to work soon as I did just move here. All furbabies will be treated and cared for as of they are my own. I'll always keep an eye out for your furbaby making sure they are safe.

About: I have always loved and had pets. I love them even more now that Im an adult. I have worked in the pet industry for many years and think I have a greater knowledge of care. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish (fresh and salt), birds, reptiles, anphibians, hamsters, and even chickens. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats right now. I have been involved with a local animal rescue. We have help rescue several young dogs as well as a litter of puppies. I have family and friends that I sit for on a regular. Sometime I end up watering the yard and gardens. Fur babies are a huge part of my life everyday. I feel like my pets are important family members. I probably spoil my dogs terribly. I make them there own bday cakes. I also make homemade ice cream. I add veggies to there food. I make sure they have good toys for interacting. I spend a good amount of time interacting scratching, and talking to my regular fur babies. When in someones home I mind my own business. I try to leave no trace I was there. Cleaning up what ever I use. Respect is very important.

Allyse and my young Golden hit it off instantly, one reason being that Allyse takes her to new and wonderful places and returns her happily exhausted. My own experience of Allyse is that she's easy to work with, can be flexible when her schedule allows, and is highly reliable.

About: I’ve been dogsitting for at least 3 years now. I’ve specifically been pet sitting for the same few family’s over the span of several years. Since I have no other commitments, I am able to spend as much time as needed with the dogs and treat every dog like it’s my own. I don’t mind having to make special meals for dogs, going on walks, or staying full time at your house! I have experience with dogs with anxiety under circumstances such as storms and fireworks and I am also good with high energy dogs. I enjoy meeting with the dogs before booking so reach out! I do not have any other jobs currently so I am able to give my full attention to your pets! I already take walks on my own so having a dog join me would be beneficial as well. I do not have pets of my own so it’s easy for me to give full love and attention to other peoples pets like the pet I never had.

About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love playing with and getting to know them. I have worked with a couple of friends in high school dog sitting for family friends and relatives and have enjoyed every second I spend with their pets. I recognize and take into consideration the age, physical abilities, and daily habits of the pets I take care of and base my care and activities around those. I am currently living up in Portland working for a state campaign but I will occasionally be traveling down to my other home in Grants Pass for jobs and building projects for my family . I greet every pet I meet with respect, care, and love and will calmly approach any new animal I meet with the intention of building trust with that animal and letting them know I can take care of them and love them and that they can trust me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Merlin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Merlin on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 207 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Merlin. 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 Merlin. 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 Merlin.

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 Merlin. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
