About: I have had dogs my whole life along with reptiles I also worked as a dog bather and take care of my family and friends pets when they go on vacation I am currently in school looking for a part time job I have 3 dogs of my own but would love to meet and play with other pups I have a small fenced yard where my pups go potty but I like to take them to the park to run and take my puppy on walks to keep up his training
About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since I was 7 and having seven dogs throughout my family's life. My experience extends beyond dogs to cats, horses, cows, chickens, and pigs, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. I have most recently been trusted with helping my dear friend potty train and babysit her adorable 3 month old daushaund. I currently have a 5-year-old pit-bull dog, which has given me even more hands-on experience caring for and understanding dogs. We love to take long walks and visit the dog park. Due to some medical needs that my pup has, I have experience providing medications and applying skin care as needed. I know that every pet has their own needs and routine and I want every animal to feel safe and loved. I currently work 3, 12-hour shifts a week which allows for plenty of time to care for pups on my four days off from working. I make sure pets have a secure environment, use appropriate leashes and toys, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure safe/proper care.
“100% would recommend Christin to anyone! She is so professional and kind, the dogs love her. Such a sweet, responsible, courteous person., I cannot say enough good things about her!”
About: I have three large dogs & two goats! I also work full time at a local veterinary clinic. I will love your pets as my own! I can help take care of livestock animals as well! I currently work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 6pm. I am available after 6pm Monday through Thursday or anytime Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you! I will treat your home with the up most respect and will be sure to take care of your furry family member's just as well as you all do!
About: We have lived with both dogs and cats, plus fish and hamsters, through our entire lives and we look forward to making new pet friends. Hilary: As a home-school mom of teens and young adults I have a flexible schedule so I can work walks and pet check-ins around our other daytime activities. Scott: Semi retired and home based for business, my schedule is flexible. Having pets ourselves, we understand they do best in familiar environments. By caring for them in their own homes it should ease any stress they may have at an owner’s absence.
“Anastasia was wonderful! We did an initial meet and greet and from the very beginning, she was great with communication. She was always timely for picking up our our, Barkley, and I think our dog really started looking forward to her coming! Thanks for everything!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and horses of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and cuddle their pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’m confident handling everything from senior pups to energetic puppies. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with patience, love, and consistency. I currently work full-time Monday–Friday, but I’m up early every day and have afternoons and weekends open for pet care! I’m available for walks after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, anytime after 2 p.m. on Fridays, and fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet will be in caring, responsible hands with me! I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I follow all client instructions carefully and keep pets on their regular routine. Cleanliness, respect for your home, and lots of love are guaranteed!
“Darlin was fantastic! Wonderful communicator, very professional, right on time, and our 8 month old puppy loved her. We will definitely have her back. Highly recommend! Thanks Darlin!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, starting when I was 12 years old. I have also taken several basic dog training classes, where I learned commands such as sit, down, paw, heel, no pull, and wait. During walks, I regularly practice these commands to help dogs remember them over time and improve their behavior on the leash. What sets me apart is my patience, dedication, and attention to detail. I carefully watch the dogs throughout every walk to keep them safe, prevent them from eating things they shouldn’t, and make sure they stay away from dangerous areas near the road. I also pay attention to their behavior and comfort, making sure they feel happy and relaxed. My goal is to give every dog a safe, enjoyable walk and treat them with the same love and care I would give my own dog. Since I am currently a student, I am available for pet care on weekdays after 12:30 PM. On weekends, I work in the morning, so I am available after 8:30 PM. I do my best to manage my schedule responsibly and make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for both of us and their pets. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs their pets may have. During walks, I keep dogs on a leash, pay close attention to their surroundings, and prevent them from eating anything unsafe or approaching dangerous areas. I also make sure they have access to water and feel comfortable throughout the walk. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home, keep everything clean, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I will also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: We’re a pack of four - two dogs and two humans - and we’re always excited to welcome canine guests! Our 80 lb supermutt, Loki, and 60 lb pitty, Ginny, love visitors of all kinds (though so far, only humans and canines have been officially approved 😉). Our home is very dog-friendly, with plenty of toys and space to play including a fenced yard in the back. Your dog will be comfortable here, and we’re happy to accommodate any special needs to make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We offer overnight stays and only accept dogs who are house-trained. For everyone’s safety, guest dogs must be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and friendly with other dogs. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 We usually walk outside in the neighborhood or up by the Cougar school in the wooded area 2 times a day. Dogs are not alone for more than 2-3 hours per day. We have a large fenced yard that is accessible from the deck/kitchen, locked and unless your dog is a real athlete that can jump a 6ft fence, very safe for them to hang. The finished basement level is also available for dog play in a pack or individually. Also comes in handy to separate any nervous dogs, as needed.

“Really liked meeting with Emily. She was super friendly and my dog hit it right off with her at the meet and greet. When she came to take care of my dog she was on time and left a great message with details about the walk. TOTALLY will be using her again and 100% recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Kiana! 🐶💛 I’m a dedicated pet lover who genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines, dietary needs, and any special quirks that make them unique. I’m a personal trainer and Pilates instructor with a flexible schedule, which allows me to check in on dogs throughout the day during breaks and spend quality time with them between my sessions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone you trust. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and right at home while you’re gone. I’d love to connect and learn more about your pup! 💛 I’m usually up early for the gym, so I’m comfortable with early-morning walks and care. I’m also available on weekends, when I enjoy taking long nature walks and would be happy to bring your dog along if they enjoy outdoor adventures. I live in a very spacious apartment with a balcony. I do not have any kids, so my environment is dog friendly! I am typically always home, so extra care and safety will be provided for your furry baby. I am now accepting only one dog at a time so that I may provide the best experience for your Furry Babby 🐾🐾🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Old Tavern is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $20 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.

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 Old Tavern. 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 Old Tavern 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 Old Tavern. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 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.
