About: My family has owned numerous of dogs in our large family. From my Uncle's Dobermann trio to my mother small Pomsky (Pomeranian and Husky mix) I've taken care of them all. The dogs in our family are tired of me before I've run out of steam to play or walk. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board my mother's Pomsky or my sister's Old lab mix girl for a few days. Cleaning after animals do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time. I work from home full time and I'm awake before the sun come up. I'm ready to get the job done early and my job is flexible about my breaks. I can visit your pets anytime designated as I have my own vehicle. I have a open yard that's not fenced in though only one neighbor with a dog behind a fence. I'm working to fence my yard in the future as I like the idea to give sitted dogs that open space. For now know your dog will become part of my workouts and I love to walk about 3-5 miles daily. At my home your dog will be welcome to chill with us though during the night will board in the spare room in or out of any provided crates.

About: Since middle school, I have grown up caring for many different animals. I was responsible for the care of my pets; including two rabbits, three guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and four snakes. All of these pets lived a very lavish and spoiled life. During high school, I used my volunteer hours fostering dogs, rehabilitating them for their forever homes. The care for these dogs included feeding, walking/playing, training, and medical care. I started working in the veterinary medicine field almost two years ago. This field has given me the experience of providing compassionate medical care, no matter the patient. I am now a full time student studying for radiology. I am a full time student, in which I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free in the early mornings and late afternoons of those two days. The rest of the week is completely free besides the 2-3 hours I spend studying for school. I tend to be very watchful with pets and do not like to let animals out without some sort of lead unless your yard is fenced in. I will always prioritize safety over anything else to ensure a safe and positive experience for all parties involved. I also ask that I be either provided an emergency contact and/or a preferred veterinary caretaker in case (god forbid) an emergency does come up. I also ask that if a pet is receiving medications, there are clear directions with clear times to administer medications.

About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.

About: Growing up, I always had a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both large and small breeds including Akitas, Huskies, Boxers, Chihuahuas, and Pomsky mixes. As I got older and moved out on my own, I owned a pitbull who I loved wholeheartedly and sadly lost to cancer in 2024. Since then, I’ve adopted two beautiful American Staffordshire Terriers from the same litter who have filled my home with love again. I truly treat every dog like family. They are welcome on the couches, in the bed, and even in the pool if approved by you! I have a fenced in backyard for safe playtime and lots of room for love, cuddles, and attention. I’m also great with teaching basic commands, keeping routines consistent, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, and you may even come home to a cleaner house than you left! I genuinely love bringing happiness, comfort, and peace of mind to people and their pets. I recently moved to Florida from Buffalo and decided to start pet sitting to help fill my free time doing something that truly makes me happy. As much as I hope to help your dog feel loved and cared for, they help my heart just as much too. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, love, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time around animals, so your pup will never feel ignored or lonely while in my care. I am very flexible with schedules and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a unfenced backyard, but a lot of yard, lots of walking trails and sidewalks, a loving home environment, and experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my previous pitbull was very reactive & didn’t get along with other dogs if you have a reactive dog I completely understand! I always follow routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: I love animals so much that I even stopped eating and wearing them over seven years ago! I'm a vegan dog dad of a foster-fail which means that the family who asked me to look after her doesn't want her back so she gets to spend the rest of her life with me instead! I am a self-employed, freelance, independent contractor so if I'm available to watch your pet you can rest assured that they'll get my full attention! I am ready, willing and able to meet any and all of your pet's needs! Whether they're high-energy, requiring lots of exercise, or elderly with special needs, you can count on me to delivery the care they require!

About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.

About: I have volunteer experience working at a rescued animal shelter, where I helped care for rescued animals by feeding, cleaning, exercising, and providing daily attention. This experience has given me confidence in handling animals and reinforced my passion for their well-being. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need I spend most of my time at home and make sure pets get regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention. Whenever we go outside, dogs are always on a secure leash. My community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can safely play and exercise with the owner's permission.

About: Hi there — I'm a lifelong dog lover based in Daytona Beach, FL, with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through rescue, fostering, and my own home. I'd love to be the person your pup looks forward to seeing. Personal Experience I've shared my home with dogs continuously since 2017, so daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and all the little quirks of dog ownership are second nature to me. Rescue and Volunteer Experience • Dog walker at Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge — walking shelter dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. • Dog walker at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta — comfortable handling large and giant breeds with confidence and calm leash control. • Foster for Bernese Mountain Dog Rescue — providing in-home care, daily exercise, and a safe transition for dogs awaiting adoption. • Foster transport coordinator for Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida — organizing safe, low-stress transport for dogs on their way to forever homes. What I Bring to Every Walk and Visit • A calm, patient approach with anxious, shy, or high-energy dogs • Strong leash skills and awareness of canine body language • Reliable, on-time arrivals and clear communication with owners • Photo and video updates so you can see your dog enjoying their day • Comfort handling puppies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs I am available seven days a week — mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Flexible scheduling for one-time walks, regular routines, or last-minute requests. I treat every dog like my own — whether that means a brisk adventure walk, a sniff-filled stroll, or simply quiet company and a belly rub. Your dog's safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities.

I really appreciate Samantha helping my boy on a last minute notice over the holiday weekend. I was out of town and she was nice enough to feed him and clean up his accident without asking. It was more than just a walk. I would recommend her services if you need someone to look after your dog. I hope to hire her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Palatka is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,177 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Palatka. 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 Palatka. 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 , 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 Palatka 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palatka. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
