About: I have many years of experience taking care of every different kind of animal. I’m here to take your dog on walks, to play, feed your pet if you’re gone, care for them overnight, at your place or mine! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and all of your smaller pets as well. I’m extremely flexible to care for your pet during the day for walks, feeding, play time, as well as overnight while you’re gone! I currently do not have any pets in my home, making it a safe environment for all of yours! I enjoy getting to spend time with your best friends and will treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own.

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!

About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to providing them with plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and keeping pets comfortable in their usual routines. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I am a work from home mom and have all the time to play with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in backyard that is fully secure. I also have an air conditioned garage. All pets are welcome to be inside all day long but sometimes they want to play and run and it’s nice to have a cool down spot. All animals are welcome to stay inside all day and night. I am a light sleeper and wake up to let my senior dog, Lola, out at night for bathroom breaks regularly. I am always home and my daughter has been raised and daughter how to be safe and appropriate with new animals. We treat others and their pets with the respect we would want in return.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I am patient, observant, and comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. I can support basic reinforcement of training, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and provide structured walks and playtime to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. I work from home and have alot of flexibility with my schedule. So your babies will get to hang out with me during the day, while I work. Gaurenteed to get good rubs and hugs as I employee them as my little stress relievers during my work day lol. Dogs staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and follow a routine similar to what they are used to at home. Inside the house, dogs are free to move around and choose where they feel most comfortable resting or playing. I do not keep dogs confined unless an owner specifically requests crate use. My goal is to make their stay feel as natural and stress-free as possible. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely spend time outside. They are able to go in and out, play, explore, and burn off energy while remaining in a secure space. I supervise outdoor time and make sure every dog is comfortable with the environment. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks if requested, feeding according to the owner’s schedule, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Qais (pronounced Case), and pet care isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s my full-time profession and passion. With me, your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family. That’s exactly how I treat every pup in my care. Services Provided I provide a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where dogs receive plenty of love, exercise, structure, and personalized attention throughout the day. Because pet care is my full-time job, your dog gets consistent supervision, companionship, and care—whether they’re an energetic adventurer or a couch-loving cuddle bug. What You Can Expect 🐾 Full-time pet care provider—your dog gets my full attention 🐾 Daily walks, play sessions, and enrichment activities 🐾 Plenty of toys and interactive food bowls for mental stimulation 🐾 Personalized photo and video updates throughout their stay 🐾 Home full-time—dogs are rarely left alone 🐾 Safe, fenced yard for zoomies and sunbathing 🐾 Experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs 🐾 Complimentary pet cleaning before pickup 🐾 Flexible pickup and drop-off scheduling when possible, including accommodations for delayed flights or changing travel plans with advance notice Peace of Mind I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your dog with someone new. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and excited to come back for their next stay. Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, I’ll do my best to accommodate changes to your schedule whenever possible, so you can focus on your travels knowing your dog is in good hands. Let your dog enjoy their own little vacation while you’re away—with peace of mind for you and plenty of tail wags for them! Please note: I host multiple dogs at the same time. I carefully manage each guest to ensure every dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe, enjoyable experience. Additional Care & Scheduling To keep things fair and transparent, additional charges may apply when a stay requires significantly more time, supervision, or specialized care than standard boarding. 🐾 Medication administration: $5/day for routine oral or topical medications. More involved medication administration, including injections or medications requiring significant additional time, may be subject to a higher fee. 🐾 Intact dogs: A $5/night surcharge may apply to unspayed or unneutered dogs due to the additional supervision and management required in a multi-dog home. 🐾 Early/late pickup or drop-off: A $15 fee may apply when arrival or departure falls outside the agreed-upon scheduling window. 🐾 Last-minute bookings: Bookings requested within 24 hours of drop-off are subject to a $20 last-minute booking fee. 🐾 Daycare over 8 hours: Daycare stays exceeding 8 hours are subject to the regular overnight boarding rate. 🐾 Pickup/drop-off transportation: Transportation may be available by arrangement for an additional fee. I’ll always communicate any applicable additional charges with you before modifying a booking whenever possible. My goal is to keep everything transparent while making sure every dog receives the time and attention they deserve. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I can provide care before and after work and come home at lunch for walks or check-ins. I dedicate my weekends entirely to being at home with pets. I prioritize safety by ensuring a pet-proof environment in my home and following all instructions provided by owners. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and comforting space. I’m reliable and treat every pet as if they were my own.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Monticello

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 811 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Monticello. 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 Monticello. 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 Monticello.

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 Monticello. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
