About: I’m active duty military and my husband is retired military. We have two bengal cats and a yellow lab. I’ll take great care of your pet and am very accommodating for any special requests. I won’t show up feed, clean and leave. I will make sure they get their interaction and play, just like I would want for my high energy pets. *Doggy day care: rate based on a full day, please reach out for shorter time as Rover doesn’t allow to adjust per hour. If you have any questions, or special requests please let me know. Thank you. 😻 I work from home and can attend basically anytime at a reasonable distance. I’m a cat person but love dogs too. Overnight stays: accommodations under construction I am able to come to your house and attend your pets. Depending on the circumstance, I may or may not be able to stay overnight. Please inquire. Special pricing for military!!!!

Giving sarah 5 star review is easy. She's prompt and responsive. I was happy to check in our camera system and see her sitting with and attending to my sweet old girl.. she fouled instructions to the tee and left any detailed information on my pooch and what she did at the house.

Daniel has been the best dog walker I have ever had. My girls seem to love him dearly! My dogo argentino is a big girl, and a load of work and he managed everything perfectly with her. One dog is blind and one is deaf and he was amazing with them. Great pictures, amazing updates, went above and beyond. Extremely pleased and will book again moving forward!

Madison took extra good care of our Holly. She went above and beyond and even gave Holly a much needed bath. Holly adores Madison and we would highly recommend Madison as a walker, sitter or trainer.

About: I’ve worked with the bull terrier rescue mission for about two years and i’ve had cats and dogs my whole life including sick ones and ones with behavioral issues. I currently am between jobs and can help most of the time including weekends and weekdays. will update if things change in the future. yay I have fostered dogs back to healthy weights. i feed animals one meal a day unless advised otherwise with constant access to water. i give my animals treats including animal safe human food- not too much though and keep a clear boundary on what they can and can’t eat. I will try everything (within reason) to make a dog or cat happy if they are restless or upset. i trim they’re nails and groom them myself if needed.

About: Hi, Matt here. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is that I understand dog behavior, routines, and needs from real, hands-on experience—not just from reading about it. I’m calm, reliable, and confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or more laid-back and just want companionship. I pay close attention to detail, follow instructions closely, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure owners have complete peace of mind. I’m currently a full-time teacher and will have open availability in the summer time to care for your pets! During the school year I am also available after 3:30 PM on weekdays for any walks, drop ins, etc. I have two dogs on my own and I am focused on safety! Pets will always be secure with a leash while on walks and kept away from other animals walking by. If being let out in the yard I always double check that the fence is secured, and there are no areas where dogs can escape.

About: I work as a bather at petsmart so i am handling dogs all day every day, but i can never get enough time with animals so i would love to care for your pets! I have some experience with drop ins for cats too. I always treat animals as a part of the family and I love hearing a good rescue story! I also used to work as a kennel technician years ago. I have 3 dogs myself, 2 rabbits, 3 ducks and a lizard. So i am comfortable caring for any animal including exotics. I can also do nail trims for rabbits and any dogs who are tolerable of it. I currently work part time at petsmart, so i have a lot of spare time for walks and drop ins to care for your fur baby! (Or scaley/feathered baby) I believe that the safety of animals always comes first. I volunteered in rabbit rescue for several years and animal welfare is very important to me. I see my pets as my babies and fully understand the legitimacy of our pets being valued family members.

About: I treat every dog like they're my own. I build relationships, not just schedules. I take time to connect with each dog, so they feel safe, excited and understood on every walk. Pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule because I keep flexible hours. I plan my day around walk times, exercise needs. I'm fully available when my pets need me. Start 1st walk around 9 AM last walk around 5 PM Since I already build my day around caring for my own pets, adding walks or visits for other pets fits smoothy into my routine, It's something I enjoy and make time for every week.

About: Professional Athlete by night…Professional Belly-Rubber by day 🤪 I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and have extensive experience caring for both active dogs and seniors with special needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I provide dependable care, lots of attention, regular updates, and plenty of love while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play, walk, nap, or simply have a companion nearby, I’m happy to make them feel right at home. I had a family dog until 2019 and then rescued my Shiloh two months after. Shiloh had fear aggression and separation anxiety for the first year with me but i learned A LOT from that experience. Shiloh passed away June 6th, 2026 and if you knew her then you would know she went from being fearful to knowing she was safe. Shiloh was almost 11 and i had adopted her when she was 3. She was the only fur baby that was my own but i learned more from her than my family dogs! My dog walking availability is typically between 6:00 AM and 3:00 PM, making me a great option for morning walks, midday potty breaks, exercise sessions, and companionship while you’re at work. I am also available for doggy daycare and overnight stays on a limited basis depending on my training and competition schedule. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and designed to provide a safe, comfortable environment for visiting dogs. I have a large yard that gives dogs plenty of space to explore, play, and burn off energy while being closely supervised. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time so that each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. Dogs will always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and lots of affection. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime outdoors or prefers a quiet place to relax, I strive to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where they feel right at home.

About: A true nature lover I love ALL living things! Yes spiders and snakes too. Especially those who can love back . I've rescued and cared for almost every species. Elder dogs and those with health issues. Medications, injections I'm able to deliver it all. My schedule used to revolve around one of my Yorkies 12 hour insulin schedule. I cooked his meals took him for long walks. He loved the water and we spent long hours at the beach. He recently passed at age 15. I'm now willing to share with other pups who need some care and stimulation. I have a large fenced yard and a pool which one of my dogs and another I sit for loves! My other 2 are couch potatoes and are content to lay in the shade although they do enjoy their walks. We exercise rain or shine

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ocean Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Ocean Acres on Rover is $18 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 1,436 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ocean Acres. 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 Ocean Acres. 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 Ocean Acres.

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 Ocean Acres. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
