About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and compassionate, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy building trust with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want pet parents to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I work full-time, but my schedule provides flexibility that allows me to have a full week off at a time. During my time off, I have plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. I am able to plan ahead and coordinate with pet parents to ensure their pets receive consistent, reliable, and loving care. I enjoy making the most of my time off by spending it doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive proper meals, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully, keep their home clean and secure, and stay alert to any changes in behavior. I also believe communication is important, so I enjoy providing regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home.

About: In your absence, I will treat your pet as a member of my family. He/she will be as important to me as they are to you! I have rescued and cared for pets of all types for friends and family. I am a lifelong animal lover, and this is something that I truly enjoy doing. I have had pets my entire life from cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and even a baby lamb. Separating from your pets can be a difficult time when you are trusting their care to another individual. I will fill the gap for you while you are gone, with consistent reliable care. I am able to administer medication, walk/exercise your pets or just visit and play with them. I will keep you updated, if so desired. While you are gone, it is my goal, to allow you to rest easy, knowing that they will have daily loving care. I am currently working from home part time and i am able to make my schedule weekly. I will set my schedule around the needs of your pet. If there are any fluctuations (scheduled appointments) during my time with your pet, you will know in advance I care for my clients pets with the same love and attention that I care for my own . Each animal has its own likes , dislikes and routines. It is my job to meet the needs of that pet on the schedule that they are used to. When I am caring for somebody else’s pet, it is my top priority to make sure that they are cared for the same way you do. Separation can difficult for them too, I will ease that as much as possible by providing what they need.

“Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!”

I am looking to simplify my life soon and I will have a great deal of flexibility to accommodate our pet companions. They make me happy I recently lost my soul cat, Sebby in January.

Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!”

About: Hi there! My name is Jada. I am 26 years old and i am a graduate from Horizon Science Academy High! All my life i’ve LOVED dogs. I’ve had different dogs growing up. When i was growing up, i found myself spending more time with my dogs than actual people. I would watch movies with them and play with them! They made me feel safe and warm! Dogs are way better than humans in my opinion! I can make conversations with them, make them feel loved, and most importantly, make sure they’re cared for! I believe that everyone needs a companion/bff, even animals! That’s where i come in! Allow me to care and love for your dog as i would for my own! We will for sure make memories! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have tons of time to play with your pups! I always make sure to give all of my attention to the pups! I do not have a secluded yard, however I do have open field areas for your pups to run around in! There are tons of other dogs in my complex that are very loving and friendly!

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience giving medications and vaccinations from my time working as a veterinary assistant. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets both inside and outside the home and have experience with boarding, dog walking, medication administration, and in-home visits for feeding and watering. Every animal I care for quickly becomes part of my extended family, and I truly enjoy every moment spent making them feel safe, loved, and spoiled. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attention and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible and is very convenient for those who may need a little extra attention. My fenced yard offers space to play, and my two friendly dogs are always ready to welcome a new friend. If needed, I can also easily crate your dog for comfort or routine.

About: I have watched my cousin's shi tzu many times for extended periods of time. It has went well every time. Also I have over 15 years of having a pet in my home. Walking dogs and taking care of them is something that I have a lot of experience in. I have a very flexible schedule as an independent contractor so i can be available at any time. Whenever I watch my cousin's dog, it becomes a full time endeavor. I take pride in taking care of the things in my environment whether it is lawn care, businesses, car, or my hobbies. I walk them regularly. I make sure the pets are fed on schedule. I pay attention to the pet's communication signals, and I am a caring person towards them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Novelty

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Novelty is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 November 2026, there are 2,158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Novelty. 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 Novelty. 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 Novelty 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 Novelty. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
