âWe booked Corrie for a dog walk last minute and I must say, she was very friendly, professional, courteous and accommodating. She was sure to send photos of her visit with our dog and let us know how her walk went. She was also very patient in letting our dog warm up to her as our dog can be leery of strangers at first. Weâll definitely use her again in the future ?â
âI had Dee stop in and take my pup for several walks while I was out of town. She was easy to schedule and communicate with, was always on time, and kept my dog exercised and relaxed. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!â
About: Iâve watched and lived with lots of animals. I love helping out neighbors and friends with their amazing pets while they are on vacation or need any help at all! I currently work part time at the airport and a part time student. Only work in the middle of the day on Sundays but most other days I work 2am-7am. I have a fenced yard at home! In other clients home I am very respectful to their home and do exactly what the client needs me to be available for!
âCaitlin was great! She is so kind, friendly, and caring! She took great care of my dog and worked with me through all the craziness of moving places! You can tell she really loves and cares about animals! She is also a great communicator and leaves a detailed report card!â
About: Iâve been caring for animals my whole lifeâfrom raising animals for FFA to training my own dogs and working at an animal shelter. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I treat every pet like family! I work four 10-hour shifts per week, Monday through Friday, with Thursdays off. My usual work hours are 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Iâm happy to coordinate pet care around my schedule and provide plenty of love and attention to your pets! Your petâs safety is my top priority. I always follow instructions closely, use secure leashes and gates, and keep a calm, watchful eye on every animal in my care. With years of hands-on experienceâfrom shelter work to farm lifeâI know how to handle pets gently, responsibly, and with lots of love.
About: Growing up I we always had pets, from the youngest I can remember, Iâve done it all; dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rats, hampsters, hermit crabs, aquariums, as well as stopping to save roads and frogs from the road! (I currently still do this!). Let me know if I could help you! I work full time. At the moment I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. Depending on location and service I can do some things after Iâm off work at 9-9:30PM We are very conscious about not letting pets out or escaping from our yard, I take the same seriousness with other peoples pets. We have GPS collars that constant track our fur babies. Whatever I do with your petâs, you can trust they will be taken care of and loved.
About: Hi pet families, my name is Lola, and I am a lifelong pet lover! I have experience taking care of older dogs that have medical needs, as well as taking care of and training puppies! I have worked previously with traveling with puppies that were going to become service dogs, and I love being around animals. I am currently completing my Honors Thesis and have class throughout the week. My classes are never more than an hour and a half, so I have lots of time for walking pets and hanging out with them! I feel very confident in my ability to get to know your pet in a way that makes them feel safe! I want to ensure they feel comfortable in their home and know that I am a friend. I love playing with pets and reinforcing their training. I also feel confident crating dogs and assessing their needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 807 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Opal City. 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 Opal City. 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 dogâs 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 Opal City 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 Opal City. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
