About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.

Karlie has been absolutely wonderful with my puppy! She’s so caring, patient, and reliable — my pup always gets so excited when she shows up. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. You can really tell she loves what she does! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker. ♡

About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.

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.

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.

About: We go by Bark Haven Ballers ! 🏀" "Hi there! I absolutely love animals and care for a variety of them on my personal farm right here at home. Because my own farm requires regular attention, I am not able to offer overnight house-sitting, even though my profile may suggest it.Instead, I proudly offer dedicated 1-hour drop-in visits twice a day. These hour-long visits are perfect for ensuring your pets get plenty of playtime, feedings, and potty breaks. If your pet needs extra attention or you require more time, just let me know! We can easily add extra time or visits to your booking for a small adjusted fee to fit your pet's exact routine." ⭐ Transparency is important to me! You might notice a few recent cancellations on my profilethese were due to an unexpected, one-time emergency that temporarily impacted my schedule. I am back to my regular routine and fully ready to provide safe, reliable care for your fur babies. I have spent years perfecting my pet sitting skills, and I’m now offering that experience to you as a solo, mobile provider. Whether you need a consistent walker, a drop-in visit, or a trusted sitter, I bring the care directly to you.Having transitioned from a partner-based service, I now bring a more personalized, one-on-one approach to pet care. I am fully committed to delivering a safe, engaging, and loving experience for your pet For added safety and reliability, I operate as a two-person team. Having a partner involved in the care process provides an extra layer of security and ensures that your pet’s schedule,from feedings to medication,is always managed with a 'second set of eyes' for total accuracy and peace of mind."

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I worked as a veterinary technician in high school for 2 years, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all sizes—from tiny kittens to large-breed dogs, and even exotic pets. I’ve personally cared for reptiles, senior pets, and energetic puppies, so I’m confident handling all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet needs meds, extra patience, or just tons of love—I’m here for it! What sets me apart is my vet tech background and my calm, confident approach with all kinds of animals. I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I truly care about their comfort and happiness. I understand body language, medical needs, and how to keep pets safe and stress-free. You can relax knowing your fur (or scale!) baby is in experienced and loving hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m a nursing student and currently work PRN as an EMT after working full-time in EMS since 2021. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekdays and weekends, and I’m great at time management. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love having pet visits or walks as part of my day—it’s a welcome break from the chaos of EMS life! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as an EMT and former vet tech, I’m calm in emergencies, attentive to detail, and confident in administering medications or handling special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I stick closely to their routine and make sure they feel secure and loved. I respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. You can trust that they’ll be treated like family.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Palatka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Palatka on Rover is $18.32 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,183 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 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 Palatka.

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 Palatka. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
