“Paige is so great with our nervous puppy! She is very patient with him and even went above and beyond and cleaned up after him when he peed a little on the couch. She does a great job!”
“Dax was very detailed at all times with his responses and notes. I felt very comfortable letting him take care of my dogs especially seeing the many pictures he took while he was there. He does a great job!”
“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.”
“Morgan is absolutely the best pet sitter! I had my daughter’s wedding and was able to relax and focus on other things because she was so dependable, reliable, and so caring and genuine. Thank you again so much for loving Marley! He already misses you!”
“Fantastic communication and a lovely way with my senior pup ❤️. Really appreciated that Taylor offered a meet/greet before the first walk. We'll happily book again!”
“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”
“Brooke was amazing and so accommodating! I will def use her again if she'll have us! Otis was so happy to get outside today! Thank you Brooke!”
“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
“Kara is a joy and a gift! She is reliable, coompetent, and confident with my quirky hounds and it’s obvious that she deeply respects the importance of communication and making sure I’m in the loop on all the details of the visit whether drop ins or walks!”
About: I have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, and over my life I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I currently live with my adorable kitty. I love my cat so much and I would give your dog the same amount of care and love :) I am a college student and have class in the morning. On Wednesday and Fridays my day ends around 3:30 but the other days end between 10-12. Preferred to go into the client's home since I have pets myself. If you have specific requests for your animal, I try to abide by that as best as possible. With dogs, I prefer to always keep them on a leash outside if there is no fenced yard.
“Jeff was seriously amazing with our dogs while we were away for 5 days. We have two big, energetic golden retrievers that can definitely be a lot sometimes, and he handled them really well. He came by three times a day, took them on great walks, gave them lots of attention, and just genuinely cared about them. He started out walking them one at a time, but once our pups became a bit more familiar he did both at once like a superstar! What we really appreciated was how communicative and flexible he was the whole time. He always kept us updated (with lots of photos!), was super easy to work with, and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved him, and we came home to two very happy dogs and everything in great shape. We’d 100% trust Jeff to watch them again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, honest, and really good with dogs.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have vast experience in walking, feeding, administering medications, etc. I even started volunteering at a pet store at the age of 8 and stayed there for many years! I’m working part time so I have quite a lot of time on my hands to give your pups the right amount of attention they need. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of grass that is very dog friendly. I also have two of the sweetest most playful doodles to keep your dog company!!
“This is my first time hiring Leslie. It’s impressive that she followed all my instructions and requests. And all my dogs were so happy to see her. I will definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to all the pet owners.”
“Addy has been great with our dog. She comes on schedule and is very responsive. Our dog does not like to be put back into his crate and Addy says she takes great care to guide him back in which we are greatful for (esp when he is being stubborn). Thanks!”
About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!

Savannah accepted my last minute request to walk my doggo. She came to the house to meet us and I knew immediately that she would take great care of him. She arrived promptly at my requested time, walked him and gave him fresh water before she left. I highly recommend Savannah!
Rachel has walked my dog, Roxy, maybe a dozen or so times now, and I could not be more thankful for her. She is kind, and gives my dog great experiences. I am so thankful to know someone that I trust completely with my pup, who has her best interest at heart. Thank you Miss Rachel!! Roxy loves you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mount Vernon on Rover is $21.4 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 .

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 Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon.

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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
