“Bethany was awesome me and my husband were going to be away on A trip our Dog Booker was staying home with our parents but they weren’t going to be able to give him the required exercise he needed so we figured we would give a dog walker a go! Bethany should up everyday to our house on time and Booker was always excited to see her! Each walk came with a picture and report which was great! Would definitely use Bethany again!”

About: I have loved animals my entire life. I grew up with Samoyeds (fluffy white sled dogs) and was so happy when I was able to get one of my own 13 years ago, and since then I have also adopted a Heeler mix. My dogs are members of my family, and I will treat your pets the same way. I love taking dogs out to all the amazing parks and trails in the area. And when I am home or doing a drop-in, I'm happy to play and keep your pets company while you are away, as well as make sure they are fed and have enough water. If there are any special needs or requests, please just let me know. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!

About: PLEASE READ ALL: Due to issues with male’s “marking”, I will only sit female dogs. I have two small rescue dogs of my own - both are under 15 pounds and playful with one another. I'll pamper your dog just as I do my own with plenty of cuddles, a calm environment and a fenced yard for potty breaks. I have extensive experience with dogs on med schedules and special dietary needs. When not out to potty - your dog will be with me - indoors. I am Sixty Eight years of age and a responsible homeowner. There are no children living in or visiting my home. Having your pet in my home is a privilege and I will always provide the optimum care for your pet. Please come visit me! Plenty of love and attention will be given to your pet. Walks, playtime & fetch. Unless provided a crate, your dog will sleep with me and my two small dogs, unless owner requests they be crated, or the breed or age of pet makes sleeping on a bed inadvisable. Effective 7/27/21: Any medical needs, special diet or requirements, a written list of that/those condition(s) is required. Effective 9/6/26 I work PT Sun/Mon/Thurs 10-4 as a caregiver for dementia patients - so I am not home. Dogs are left indoors with a “piddle pad” DROP OFF: BEFORE 8:30am PICKUP: 5:30pm -10:00pm. Mon-Fri DROP OFF ANYTIME & PICK UPS BEFORE 3pm - Sat & Sun Pets are alone from 3:30pm to 8:30pm M-F I have a 4,000 sq ft back yard. it is completely fenced and secure. I have owned my home for 20 years. During that time, absolutely no chemicals have been used. I do NOT ever leave dogs outside longer than 10 minutes. I feed the dogs at 7am and 6pm. Dogs will sleep on my bed unless owner provides a crate and prefers to crate their dog at night. I do NOT crate dogs during the day or while not at home. Dogs are allowed on all furniture.

About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.

About: Welcome to Pup Paradise! We have a large fenced in backyard and fenced front yard patio area for running and playing! There is also a nice walking trail just around the corner from our house too. Our house is spacious with hardwood floors. There are lots of cozy areas to sleep and cuddle. We keep it clean. I work from home, so I'll be with your pup all day to give them much love and playtime. As for pet experience, I had my previous dog BJ for 14 years and worked at an animal hospital in Chicago for 2+ years. I have also worked as a dog walker for 2 years and I am the resident dog sitter whenever my friends go out of town! I believe we should care for our pets and love them as we do our own family. I am very attentive to my own pup's needs as I will be to yours! Fozzie Bear, a 2 year old Border Terrier mix, is my furry companion. We love to go on long walks and hikes together. He loves to play and gets along with most dogs, so you can rest assured your pup will go home all played out and happy!

About: I have always had a love for animals, specifically dogs. I want to pursue a career in dog training in the future whether that be on the side of full time. While I don’t have my own dog, many of my friends have dogs so I’ve always grown up with dogs in my life! I am currently a full time student at PSU and I am also working on campus so I spend a lot of my time there, but I am still hoping to provide my services! If you need an evening dog walker or weekend sitter, reach out and I'll be happy to help you out :) Whatever instructions you give me for your dog, I will follow with attention to detail because you know your dog more than anyone. I aim to not only make your dog happy, but you too!

About: Hello my name is Maddi, I am recent graduate from OSU with a degree in Natural Resources! I have always been really interested in animals and they are a large part of my life. I worked at the Oregon Zoo for 5 years where I helped take care of the goats and ran the petting zoo. My family has always had multiple pets from dogs to cats to reptiles and rodents. I love to help my family and friends by caring for their pets while they are away from home, I really enjoy meeting and caring for new furry friends! In my free time I enjoy reading, painting and watching movies. I pride myself in excelling in everything I do and that includes making animals feel safe and loved. I’ve never met an animal that I couldn’t create a bond with. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a pretty open and flexible schedule this summer so I have tons of free time to take care of your pups! I am available weekdays for house sitting, drop ins and dog sitting from 9 AM-11 PM. I am available most weekends but not all! I currently cannot offer bringing your pups to my own home but I can 100% come to your home and I will play with your pups, walk them, feed them and give them tons of cuddles!!

About: I've got experience with dogs, cats, exotic pets, and farm animals. I've Shadowed two positive reinforcement based dog trainers, rehabilitated a fearful pregnant foster dog, and volunteered at CAT adoption team. I love trick training and obedience! Looking to get more into behavior work. As a child before I had a dog, I'd train any creature interested. That included my Betta fish, pet rats, and cats to do tricks. That love followed me into adulthood! Now I have a border Collie mix and training together she has learned over 20 tricks. I've done dogsitting for friends and family caring for senior dogs who need medication, as well as younger working breeds who need lots of attention. Whatever dog you have I'm ready to help! I'm currently unemployed so your dog will have all my attention! I do have my own dog, this means I'll have to possibly leave for 2ish hours to care for her. Otherwise I'm completely free. :) My usual clients do house/dog sitting so I go to your place and take care of your animals in whatever way they are most used to and comfortable with! If you're looking to have me watch your dog in my home then it'll have to be a special case. I do have a fenced yard, and my dog is crate trained.

Ngan was absolutely amazing with our 3 boys! ❤️ She walked them for three consecutive days and gave each of them such wonderful care, attention, and love. Each of our dogs has their own unique personality, and sometimes managing all three can be a little tricky, but Ngan handled everything so beautifully and patiently. She truly took her time with each of them, made sure they felt cared for, and went above and beyond to spend quality time with them and give them so much love. The sweetest touch was that she even made each of our boys their own little certificate at the end! 🥹 We are so grateful we found her, and it’s clear that our boys absolutely love her. We would recommend Ngan a thousand times over to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with genuine care and affection. She is truly wonderful!

I couldn't possibly write a review good enough to express my appreciation and high praise for Danielle! So I'll just say, look no further. Danielle is an incredibly kind, punctual, communicative, and thoughtful person. She was always on time, quick to respond, and when the ground was damp, she even brought her own towel to wipe down my dog after their walk! She also leaves the best report cards. I hope she publishes a book of short stories about her dog walks; I would purchase it in a heartbeat >_< Repeat customer for life!

Tyran recently met and began walking our sweet, adorable German Shepherd. Victoria connected with Tyran immediately, responding to his warm, loving, gentle demeanor. She returned from their hour-long adventure happy, wagging, and contentedly tired! She's already looking out the window for him to return for another excursion! Our other dog, Charlie - Victoria's beloved companion - passed away a few months ago, leaving her deeply melancholy. We are grateful to Tyran for being Victoria's weekly companion to give her love and attention, lift her spirits, and take her on new and fascinating journeys!

Faith has a wonderful way with animals. When she stopped by to meet Wesley before his first walk, he was so excited you'd think they had been friends for months! Even my cats warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot since they're usually very standoffish with new people. When I came home from work, Wesley seemed happy and relaxed, which is always a sign that he's had a great walk. Faith was also punctual, professional, and clearly attentive to his needs. I highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker, or even a cat whisperer!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Metzger

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Metzger is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 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 6,400 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Metzger. 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 Metzger. 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 , 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 Metzger 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Metzger. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
