About: I’m an adult who is passionate about providing dependable, loving care for animals of all ages while their owners are away. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, slower walks, medication routines, or simply more companionship. I respect each pet’s individual personality and routine and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their animals and home are in caring, responsible hands. My pet-care schedule is flexible and built around my clients’ needs. I intentionally plan my week around bookings, allowing me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, weekends, and extended care. I enjoy making pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, with communication and updates while you’re away.

About: I have had animals all my life, especially dogs amongst a few small pets. I have two dogs myself and I am training all of them with basic commands. I have 5 years of experience in training American pitbulls mixes to have as pets around children and other small animals. Something that sets me apart from others is that I recognize dogs and cats behavior such as signs of discomfort. I have personal experience with raising and caring for dogs of all sizes. I want animals to be comfortable, safe, and healthy. This may be disconcerting for owners that expect their pet to have free roam. I would expect multiple walks and sleeping in their dog beds considering the pets disposition as well as updates about pet stay. For house sitting, I will be willing to adjust prices if my own dogs are allowed to accompany me (not required). I am currently doing delivery services such as Grubhub and Doordash so I set the times I work. I have a flexible schedule and do not leave my home very often. I have 2 small dogs that are playful and dog friendly. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do use the long tie out leashes and outdoor playpens. I recently made a potty area for my dogs. I clean and disinfect it multiple times a week with natural products.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and providing updates so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible. I am available to walk dogs, feed, and play with your pets. I’m even willing to scoop litter boxes and spend time with pets that may experience anxiety being alone all day.

About: 🐾 Professional Dog Walker & Trainer | 14+ Years Animal Experience Hi! I’m Antonia, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been working with animals since I was 10 years old, and that passion has grown into 14+ years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and animal care. I’m a compassionate, responsible, outgoing, and dependable person who truly believes every dog deserves patience, understanding, exercise, structure, and lots of love. I don’t just see your dog as a client — I treat every dog I work with like family. ❤️ 🐶 Dog Training Experience I have 3+ years of hands-on dog training experience and have worked with dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and behavioral challenges. I have experience working on: * Basic obedience and manners * Leash training and loose-leash walking * Puppy training * Socialization * Jumping, pulling, and unwanted behaviors * Reactivity * Fear and confidence building * Behavior challenges and aggression I’m also continuing my education to become a professional dog trainer, because I truly love learning about canine behavior and finding ways to help dogs and their owners build a better relationship. My approach is centered around patience, consistency, communication, and positive reinforcement. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand what works best for each individual dog. 🦮 Dog Walking I have 11+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, along with my extensive veterinary background. I understand that a walk is about more than simply getting your dog from point A to point B. I want your dog to come home feeling happy, exercised, mentally stimulated, and confident. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, extra exercise, help with leash manners, or simply some one-on-one attention during the day, I’m here to help! I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walking and training throughout the day. ❤️ Why Choose Me? With my background in veterinary medicine, animal behavior, dog training, and years of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable working with dogs of many different ages, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE what I do. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in experienced and caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to learn about your dog, their personality, their routine, and what you’re hoping to accomplish through walking or training! I work from home so i have tons of time during the day to go for dog walks or drop in visits and give cuddles and love. I constantly giving my dogs & cats love and talking to them if they are a real person. I get on the floor and play with toys, ball, any kind of stimulation.

About: Special Education Teacher with a love of animals. Patient, kind, understanding, flexible. Originally from Chicago, from cats, to squirrels, to dogs, to hummingbirds, to bunnies, to bearded dragons, I have the heart for sending animals in need to a rescue center, and/or homing. Animals deserve love and care, no matter their personality. I strive to respect you as a pet parent and your baby, following owner directions and askings. Just like my students, I treat every animal as if they are my own. Safety is my top priority, as well as communication and transparency. Currently open for the Thanksgiving week and weekend because of being a teacher. After Dec 1 I will be available before 6:30am, evenings, and weekends. I have a degree in general and special education and am very patient with animals and like to know everything the owner can tell me, and respect the animal. Having an antisocial pet with trauma, I respect her and love her as much as my others because she deserves it. I am very careful and take care of animals as if they were my own, just like I do with the children in my classroom.

About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.

At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.

About: I've had furry family members my entire life. They taught me the importance of patience, loyalty, and kindness. My family and I were lucky enough to have a variety of dogs as part of our family. A Basset Hound (Jake), a Pitbull (Roxy), an English Mastiff/Shar-pei mix (Bruno), and an American Akita/Shar-pei mix (Meesha). The most important thing about having a furry family member is knowing that they each have their own personality and they have feelings just like humans do. You're their entire world and are deserving of the love and respect that they unconditionally give out to you. And like family members, they have bad days too. Since they aren't capable of voicing their grievances, they rely on their loving family to recognize these issues with patience and caring attention. Currently I have two rescue cats named Cooper and Remy. Both have wildly different personalities, love cuddles, and enjoy playing with their toys. I work at an animal shelter part-time and I am fear free certified. I am available weekdays and weekends. I'm excited for the opportunity to help out those who need that fun night out, end up working overtime, or have fun plans for the weekend. We love our fur-babies but unfortunately, we can't bring them everywhere. I will travel to and sit at the client's home. I would rather your pets be in a comfortable environment that they are familiar with to make this experience as relaxed and happy as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Ruth & thanks for checking out my profile! ​If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention they're used to then you’ve come to the right place. Having previously hosted dogs in my home, my goal has always been to provide a true “home away from home” experience. Now, I bring that exact same touch right to your doorstep through drop ins and dog walks. My kids are now school age, so I have open availability during school hours for mid day walks and drop in visits! I can easily fit your babies routine into my daily schedule for reliable care while you are at work or away. I prioritize pet safety and peace of mind by following your home's rules and care instructions. During drop ins and walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, double check that doors and gates are locked and make sure fresh water is always available. I pay close attention to pet body language to ensure they are comfortable and happy throughout my visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Palmer on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 per walk. 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 639 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Palmer. 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 Palmer. 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 Palmer 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 Palmer. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
