Amber is so great with my German Shepard Ruby. I never have to worry when she in her care. Whether it be a walk around the neighborhood or in home house sitting, I can’t recommend Amber enough!

Such an AMAZING dog walker! She really goes out of her way to provide a variety of good quality walks. She has sent me lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely rebook as our backup dog walker again in the future!

She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!

Troy is awesome. He was very flexible and accepting of our dogs' needs and ours. He is clearly very passionate about spending his time with animals and loves dogs. We will continue to use him for regular, ongoing walks.

About: I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’m reliable, responsible, and love sending picture updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already set aside time each day for walks, play, and feeding, and I enjoy being outdoors and active. I make sure to plan my schedule so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into both my daily and weekly routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for pets just as they would, keeping to established schedules, maintaining a familiar environment, and giving them lots of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved while their owners are away

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since middle school and have lots of experience with different temperaments and personalities! Most of my experience is with large and extra large dogs. I have my own dog that could use a friend! He is a high-energy lab that loves to play and run! There has never been a dog that he hasn’t enjoyed, but because he is big and high-energy, he can be overwhelming for some dogs. If your dog is small, unfriendly, or nervous, this might not be the right match for you. If your dog is medium-giant (his best friend is a shy Great Dane), energetic, friendly, or even slightly psychotic as most high-energy dogs are, I got you! My schedule is very flexible so please don’t hesitate to reach out, even if Rover says I am not available during the times you need! I work from home for one job and am a substitute for my other job, so I can adjust my schedule according to your dog’s needs! I have a car to transport dogs if needed, but I would prefer drop-offs. Dogs get lots of attention and walks! We have lots of fields nearby for fetch and playing, and there is also a trail that leads to a creek for swimming. I have a fenced backyard, but unfortunately half of it is blocked off right now so my gardens can be safe from digging pups and zoomies. There is still room to run and play! I also have a dog pool and a sprinkler for dogs to cool off in (when it’s hot). I have a 2 year old lab at home that loves to play and is super friendly!

About: I'm in college, studying to be a Veterinary Technician. I've had many types of animals and I've been caring for animals as a way to make money for several years- predominantly dogs. I am free on weekends. I'm usually free on Wednesday and Monday. I'm available at 1pm on Tuesdays, and I'm available on Fridays and Thursdays after 4pm. My cat is indoors, and I make a great deal of effort to keep her that way (she tries to escape a lot). I make sure to keep her happy and entertained, just as I do with my client's pets. When I am in a client's home I ensure adequate care and their animal's safety.

About: I’ve been enamored with animals my entire life. They add an element of joy and peace that nothing else has come close to. As a child I dedicated all of my time and allowance to my eclectic hobby farm complete with goats, chickens, ducks, numerous dogs and cats, rabbits, fish, birds and eventually horses. The amount of purpose animals have given me is indescribable and I couldn’t imagine a life without them. I am excited to be able to provide the level of care and attention I would want my own pets to receive when unable to be with them, and I am confident you will be happy with my service. I am a substitute at my children’s school, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your precious pets, too! I currently have two senior kitties that require a little extra TLC, a rescue dog, and I ride horses multiple times a week, so I’m no stranger to the world of animal care. I would love the opportunity to share my experience and passion with you and your animals! I understand the level of commitment and work pets require, and I promise to treat your animals as if they were my very own. Can’t wait to meet you! I have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule to walk your dogs and snuggle your kitties! I currently have a very part-time job, but I enjoy being busy, active and outside! I love to walk outdoors, rain or shine, and enjoy nothing more than a long stroll with a cute pup. I’m obsessive when it comes to my own animal’s health and well being. Keeping your pet safe, secure and happy is my number one priority. I take time frames, requests, and special needs very seriously, and you can trust me to do everything in my power to meet your dog or cat’s needs, whatever they may be.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I love spending time with them. I now have more time on my hands and would love to spend it caring for dogs who need some TLC. I had a senior pug who sadly rent over the rainbow bridge last year. The last few years she was with me, I had to give her medication, take care of her eyes and give her a special diet. I also had a lab who developed cancer and needed medication and a special diet. I feel I would be a perfect person to care for special needs dogs. I am retired so I have time to care for your pet from my home with frequent walks and/or bathroom breaks around our 5 acre property. I live on 5 acres. I do not have a fenced yard but take multiple walks throughout the day so your dog would be safely walked on a leash.

Took off on a hiking trip for a few days and couldn't bring my dog. Hired Hope to drop in on him, take him for walks and feed him while I was gone. She did a great job! Sent me updates along the way and gave me peace of mind. My Lil dude seemed in high spirits when I got back. Would totally recommend Hope anytime and would definitely use her as sitter in the future.

About: I have a wide range of hands-on experience caring for animals . I’ve worked in barns as a groom, exercise rider, and stable hand, have volunteered at animal sanctuary’s and helped with adoption events and I also gained experience working at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility. In addition, I’ve cared for many friends’, family members’ pets over the years. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. I’m knowledgeable, reliable, and committed to providing every pet with safe, compassionate, individualized care. I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and be someone you can count on whenever you need ! I have availability any day of the week and can always work my schedule around you! I’ve always loved animals and as a stay at home mom , I’m looking to make money where it fits I have a duplex like living situation . It’s a one bedroom home with a fenced back yard . The other person on the property owns two dogs as well but the yard is fenced off separately so there’s no contact . I have a 4 yr old German Shepard who’s a saint and has love for every creature:) he’s gentle and good with senior dogs, small dogs, large dogs , cats and anything in between. Respectful of boundaries but it’s also possible to have him go to grandmas house so if your dog doesn’t get along with others, that’s okay too!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. In my adulthood, I’ve had the pleasure of being a fur mom to a cat and two Australian Shepard’s. I’m experienced in overnight stays, walking schedules, and drops ins. I’m currently just freelancing so I’ll have plenty of time to commit to your pets. I can range anywhere from staying with your pets full time while you’re on vacation, to walking them on a schedule, or just checking in for potty breaks. I can be as flexible as you need me to be! I personally have experience with crating when needed, giving medications, and basic treat training.

About: Hello there, I’m Audrey. I’m a lifelong animal lover who is dedicated to being a compassionate and informed pet companion. I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, starting with my family’s siamese cat and border collie rescue. Since then, I’ve been a primary caregiver for two rescue mutts and a companion to the many pets of my friends and family. I’m passionate about learning to understand animal emotions and behavior in order to more effectively care for pets. My goal is to build a relationship that is based on compassion, understanding, and trust. My schedule is highly flexible. I work remotely as a freelance writer, which allows me to easily adapt to pets’ routines. I keep my Rover schedule current, so it accurately reflects my availability. It warms my heart that I get to help the animals I work with stay home where they feel comfortable and stick to the routines they are used to.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Northwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Northwood on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 829 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northwood. 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 Northwood. 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 Northwood.

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 Northwood. On Rover:

  • 100% 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.
