“Addelynn had amazing communication. She also changed plans last minutes when asked. She played with my dog and got his energy out. Will definitely book with her again!”
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!
“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 been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.
“Taylor is so sweet and thorough! She will absolutely be my go to dog walker here going forward. I do not trust very many people with my dogs but I absolutely trust Taylor! Highly recommend.”
“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”
“Victor is fantastic! He will absolutely be our weekly walking partner for our dog. He is professional and a delight to work with. I highly recommend Victor for your pets!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, from owning miniature schnauzer’s and golden retrievers to even raising my own litter of 11 golden doodle puppies. I know how to give dogs the special and individual attention they need as well as making them feel loved. I’m currently a full time student, but I have a lot of gaps in my schedule to fill. I’m available almost anytime during the week, except for Thursday right now. I live in a condo by myself and have a lot of free time so I can make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for in their environment. I appreciate any specific instructions from their owners to make sure they stick to their routines.
About: I have experience caring for many different types of animals, including dogs and horses. I grew up around horses and have my own Chihuahua. I’ve also cared for a litter of six French Bulldog/Chihuahua mixes and have dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I currently go to University of Kentucky and have classes every day from 9- 1 but could help with whatever your needs are before or after my classes ! Since I live in a dorm, I would provide pet care at the client’s home. I will follow the client’s instructions, keep their home clean and secure, and make sure their pets are safe, comfortable, fed, and given plenty of attention while they are away.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of pet starting at 3 years old. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, lizards, hermit crabs, bunnies, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and many more! For years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they were away. I have also had over 5 dogs of my own along with 2 rabbits, 1 cat, and a chinchilla! I have lots of experience caring for animals of all types. I’m currently a full-time college student; However my schedule is very flexible! I am done with all of my classes on MWF by 1pm and I am available on weekends! This leaves me plenty of time to care and play with your pets! I will care for your pets in any way you need! I love to play outside with the animals, take them on walks, as well as cuddle up and give them lots of love throughout the day!
About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: Hi! I’m the kind of person the animal distribution system always seems to find. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own, and I’ve spent basically my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. I’m newer to Rover, but not new to pet care. I regularly pet sit for friends, family, coworkers and whoever I’m referred to and can provide reviews/references if desired. I also previously worked as an animal caretaker at PetSmart, where I gained experience caring for a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m very intuitive, patient, and nurturing with animals and genuinely try to form bonds with them instead of just “checking a box” during visits. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, clingy, anxious, or just wants someone calm around, I do my best to meet them where they’re at when they’re missing you! I currently offer drop-ins and walks, and I’m big on communication and photo updates. As an amateur animal photographer, there’s a good chance you’ll receive unexpectedly cute pictures while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your animals and becoming their new weird aunt… If I’m lucky! I’m currently working as a part-time caretaker with a flexible schedule M-F so I have plenty of times available to walk and play with your fur babies! My home is available for boarding even just a night or long weekends as well if it’s a good fit :) My home is a pet and plant sanctuary! Lots of time is spent cuddling, playing and bonding. I tend to each individual pets needs and routines. I have a fenced in backyard for playtime and a great neighborhood for walks/sniffs. I can crate your dog or continue any training you have going on with them as well. Feline friendly with lots of climbing and toys.
About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have been the fur-daddy to several cats, two dogs and a budgie! I've also house sat and watched after friends and roommates' dogs while they vacationed for long stays. I'm a remote IT worker who can do my job from anywhere that I can bring my laptop, so I will be able to give your pet a lot of personal cuddle time, walks and all the attention they need! I will make sure to give your pet the special attention they need, including pets, brushing, walks and feeding time. I will follow any special instructions regarding crating or dietary needs or play times.
About: I’ve grown up on a farm, caring for various types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have years of experience working at animal shelters and clinics which makes me prepared for any type of situation. I’m skilled in providing loving, reliable care for all animals, big and small. I’m currently a full time college student so I will have classes throughout the day but am available in the mornings and the afternoons. Weekends are usually free unless noted otherwise. Ensuring a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is my priority. I’ll make sure your pup feels secure and happy while under my care, providing them with all the attention and safety they deserve!
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and know that our pets are family! I have worked as a dog trainer and have great patience with dogs who are learning. No matter what stage of life your pet is in, I will care for them like they are my own! While I do work during the day, my schedule allows for one to two breaks per day as needed. We have a morning and evening routine that allows for plenty of playtime and loves. When your pet is in our home, they will treated like royalty! We have a fenced in backyard that allows for safe playtime and potty breaks. Inside, we welcome snuggles of all types whether we are on the couch watching tv or laying in bed reading. Your pet will always be welcome to be beside us!
About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a miniature poodle I learned how to potty train him in the home and also trained him to see his crate as a safe space. I’m currently a college student thats has a very flexible schedule and only have one class a day. I would love to put the rest of my time into watching your dog(s). I've watched dogs my whole life! I also have a dog of my own. I know the ins and outs! I will get them to their daily walks on time, I will feed them on time. I will treat your dog as my own. Dogs bring me joy and I would love this opportunity to build a relationship with yours!
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life both personally and with family and friends! I love animals and know how stressful it can be finding pet care! Im on a travel contract in Lexington, KY from 11/12 to 2/14! I can provide over night care on Friday and Saturday nights if I know in advance and can do nightly walks or check ins after 6pm during the week! Currently can’t board pets at my place of residence right now but am open to check ins, walks, and staying at your place depending on needs!

Olivia has been wonderful with Zoey! She was flexible and easy to communicate with while we set up our schedule, sends great updates after each walk, and Zoey clearly loves her. She was also so kind with my mom. We feel completely comfortable having her care for Zoey and are so glad we found her. Highly recommend!
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!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Mount Vernon is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $29 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.

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 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Mount Vernon 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 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
