About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

About: My love for animals runs deep in my core! I can get along with any type of critter, and am very willing to taking care of pets who may have special needs. I’ve grown up in a household that has at least 3 pets at a time in it, and I used to work on a warm with tons of different animals! I’m very lucky to have so many pets in my life b Pet care is something I do on the daily, considering that I have 4 dogs at my house, all of which possessing their own quirks and personality traits. Taking the pets out, feeding the pets, and just spending quality time with them is a regular part of my routine. I care for pets very attentively, making sure to feed them at the desired time, play with them as need be, and take them on walks when/where they need to go!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience taking care of my own dogs every day. I have two friendly dogs, Bailey (a Husky/Aussie mix) and Berkley (a Bernedoodle), so I’m used to dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I know every dog is different, so I’ll follow your routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax and get some attention. I’m currently a part-time college student and also DoorDash for extra income, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays starting at noon or earlier, and I can often accommodate weekend requests as well. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care while they’re with me. I’ll always communicate with you and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have two friendly dogs, Bailey (a Husky/Australian Shepherd mix) and Berkley (a Bernedoodle), who love meeting and playing with other dogs. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a slower introduction, I’m happy to keep them separated to ensure everyone stays comfortable and safe. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family! I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special care. :)

Glen has been great to work with and my Sasha just loves him. She will lay by the door and wait for her buddy. He has been walking her daily for over a year now, never had a schedule conflict or a "No show", and if I had to adjust something I can almost always expect the return text to read "Ok sounds good". He is so easy to work with, very pleased with the service!

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have cared for them since they were puppies until their transition to the rainbow bridge. I love meeting other animals and hearing their stories. I would care for your pets like they were mine. I have a strange schedule and may not answer your email until the next morning, so please allow me time to reply before moving onto another sitter. My availability is open during the day after 9am until 9pm and weekends 8am to 10 or 11pm. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I am currently off work and have many hours in the day to care for your four-legged family members. I could do daily or twice a day walking as needed. I have a fenced in yard that my 5 dogs enjoy. I have 2 dogs that free roam at home. My 2 boys are big barkers, but are dog friendly. I have the other two kenneled due to bad behaviors and the other dog is having mobility issues and I try to keep her safe in the kennel.

Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at my family’s veterinary clinic for the past 9 years, where I’ve helped care for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, ages, and medical needs. Through my work at the clinic, I’ve become comfortable and skilled at administering medications and assisting with medical care, so I can confidently care for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and the overall well being of your furry best friend. Outside of the clinic, I’ve raised multiple litters of rescue kittens, care for our clinic cats on weekends, and currently have three rescue cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 💕 My schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month. I serve in the Navy Reserve and occasionally work at my family’s veterinary clinic when they need extra help, but outside of those commitments I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention, and you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages! Working in a veterinary clinic has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests, and I’m always keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort and well being. I will make your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible when you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

About: Hi, my name is Justine! I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience house sitting, walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I have experience house-sitting for puppies through senior dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my home from a very young age. I understand the anxiety of having to leave your pet for too long or not wanting to board them, so I enjoy helping people not have to worry about that. Let me know how I can help! I currently work-time. I have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home 2 days a week and in office the other 3. I am available mornings, nights, and mid-day when I am working from home. I prefer to watch dogs in their own home setting. This allows them to remain comfortable and not be stressed by a new environment. This way they can also remain as close to their usual schedules as possible.

About: I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I started pet sitting at 10 years old. Your pet will be truly loved and cared for with me in my home. I only work during the school year. I am off over the summer. I am home and able to care for your pet 24/7. I can also come to your home and even stay overnight with your pets. I spend a lot of time with them, and give them many cuddles, and even allow your dogs to sleep with me, if that is what you do at your home. Your dog will truly be loved and cared for with me. I also am really well trained at giving dogs medications if needed. I am able to care for cats, but I am not able to care for them in my home. I am able to come to your home and care for your kittens, or cats. I can also administer medications to cats. I have experience with birds. If you have any type of bird living in your home, I can come to your home and care for them, feed them, give them fresh water. I work three hours a day. I work from 7am to 9:30am, then I am free the entire day. If I pick up extra shifts, it's only an hour and a half long. I will be available all day, and also available on the weekends anytime. We have a fenced in yard for our dog Emmy, and if your dog comes to stay, they will be safe in the backyard, and will also be monitored by me while they're in the backyard. There is always someone home, so your dogs will never be lonely. Emmy LOVES to cuddle, and will play with your pet and make them feel welcome. Any dog that comes to my home, I separate dogs for feeding time, so there are no boundary issues. Your dog will be very loved here, and very safe with us. We do allow dogs onto furniture, and they are allowed on our bed, since Emmy sleeps with us at night. If you allow that with your dog, they are welcome to sleep with us and allowed on our furniture. I will follow whatever instructions you may have for your dogs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember! Growing up with cats and dogs, volunteering with rescue organizations, fostering, and pet sitting/walking for 20+ years (since I was a kid!) I’ve developed a skill set to care for beloved furry family members - from cats and puppies to large reactive dogs I’m here to help with your pet sitting/walk-in needs! I’m a graduate student and work part-time at a gym, so I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Potty break in the middle of a week day? I can help! Need someone to check in on your dog over the weekend? I’ll walk and hang out with your pup between studying! I’m also centrally located just west of downtown Denver and am willing to travel in any direction to help with your furry friend! Given the other people and animals in my home, I prefer to take care of your pet at your home - where they’re most comfortable! I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life so I understand the care and caution needed when opening doors or walking your pet on a busy street. Additionally, I have two rescue dogs myself and have worked with rescue organizations so I understand the dog that can’t be approached by strangers or needs some of extra support navigating the world.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Metamora

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Metamora on Rover is $22.2 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 360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Metamora. 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 Metamora. 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 Metamora.

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 Metamora. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
