Michelle has been fantastic. She's great about sending updates and photos during the walk, so we never have to wonder how things went. We're completely comfortable having her let herself into our house - she's clearly trustworthy and treats our home with respect. Both of our dogs, Max and Louis, get genuinely excited when they see Michelle, which says it all. Highly recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for majority of my life. Being from Hawai’i and growing up on a farm, this experience gave me the opportunity to expand my pet care skills and love for animals. Starting from pet sitting for neighbors to foster caring for animals with the organization KARES, my background and passion for animals makes me suitable for the job! I recently graduated from ASU and work fully remote now. I am at home all day everyday to ensure your pet gets the proper love and care they deserve. I have a large backyard that is fenced in and secured. When taking care of your dog or pet I will never leave their side. My eyes will be on them 24/7 ensuring they are safe and happy.

About: I know how stressful it is to leave your dog with someone you don’t know yet. That’s exactly why I always want to start with a meet and greet, get to know your dog, get to know you, and actually understand what they need instead of guessing. I’ve spent years around dogs of every kind. Different energy levels, puppies, seniors, different personalities, multiple pets in one house. At the meet and greet, I’ll ask real questions. What you need from me. What your dog needs from me. So there’s no guesswork once the booking starts. Your dog’s routine, your instructions, their comfort, that’s what guides everything I do. Safety and their wellbeing come first, always. Honestly? Petcare is my top priority. I love spending time with dogs enough that if I could just hang out with one all day, every day, I'd take that over almost anything else :) Here's what safety and consistency actually look like, service by service. HOUSE SITTING: I stay in your home for the full length of the booking. My default is to be there, fully present, one on one, the whole time. What that looks like in practice depends on your dog. Some pets do fine with a short window alone, others don't, and that's not something I guess at. We'll talk through it before booking so I know exactly what your dog can handle, and I'll always make the call that's right for them, not what's easiest for me. For example, I go to church on Sundays, normally about 2 hours. If a dog is comfortable with that, I'll go. If I'm not confident they are, I stay, even if I've already been told it's fine. That happened on a recent booking, I was given the OK to go, but I didn't feel right about it, so I watched the service online instead and stayed with the dogs. Meals, walks, medication, and playtime happen on the schedule you set. If you're not a schedule type of person, then just let me know what you would require in terms of responsibility on my end. Overnight, your dog stays wherever they normally would. If that's the bed, it's the bed. If that's their own spot, it's their own spot. I follow your house, not the other way around. If you have any plants that need watering, or mail and packages that need to come in, I'm happy to include that in my service. Pictures: I love taking them. I have an eye for capturing great moments, so unless you tell me otherwise, I'll be sending them your way. Communication: This is based on your comfort level. I typically send one update in the morning and one in the evening, but if you'd like more or less, just tell me. DAYTIME CARE (in your home): Need coverage for part of the day instead of overnight? I also offer an 8 hour Daytime Care block, $129 flat, additional dogs $20 flat. Please request through House Sitting and I'll adjust the pricing before we confirm. DROP-INS: Visits run 30 minutes, with longer time available. Potty break, feeding, fresh water, enrichment/play time would be my suggestion. But if you have a different routine you’d like me follow please let me know. Quick doesn't mean rushed. Calm, efficient, connected is the goal. *during summer AZ months my recommendation is drop ins* WALKS: 30 minutes is standard, with longer walks available on request. The pace is set by your dog. Some days it's a slow "Snifari" kind of walk, where the neighborhood message board is filled with interesting updates. 🐶: "Wow, Winston got two pup cups in one day… hmm, how do I get the algorithm to put that on my pet parent's FYP page?" Other days it's a high-energy, work off those extra treats kind of day. I follow their lead and read what they need. Hopefully I've covered everything. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out :)

I booked Christa last minute while I was traveling, and she was absolutely amazing. She came by twice in one day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dog. I could tell my dog felt comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful she was available on short notice and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and multiple types of pets in general, for 14 years. I finally got a dog of my own about 3 years ago and have been training her to be an emotional support animal. I care deeply about the care of all animals and that they have the attention and play time they need. I love taking dogs on walks, making it long and enjoyable for them, going on sniff adventures and playing fetch. I’m available all day at the moment and I’m a great fit for any pup that needs all day care! I currently have a very free schedule, I’m able to be available all day to hang with your pup, as well as stay the night when needed:) I care deeply about the safety of your dog. I can always crate your dog if needed, use leashes when out and about. I love to get to know your dog through you, find out what makes them anxious, if they’re prone to running out the door, etc, so I can make sure your dog is the safest they can be.

Trisha was an absolute dream. My precious dog walker fell through and Trisha helped immediately. What I especially love is that she cared for my furry goober the way I would. She was loving and kind with him, sharing pup-dates and photos, and giving him scritches while the family was gone. Just an absolute joy to have with my pup—even when he saw squirrels and lost his mind 😂 She filled up doggo food and water, and went literally above and beyond all that was required of her. I cannot emphasize enough what a positive experience she made out of what was sheer panic. I am forever indebted and give her 6/5 stars. 🙏 thank you to the moon, Trisha!

About: I'm the proud owner of a rambunctious little goldendoodle that I've raised from puppyhood to adulthood, so I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs through every stage of life, in both sickness and health, and from fussy moods to bouts of hyperactivity. Moreover, I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have kept everything from gerbils to birds. As a pet owner, I know it can be stressful leaving your sweet little angel with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind and provide attentive care for your pet. More than happy to accommodate any special requests. Glad to send pics and updates as well! I occasionally travel for work, but when I'm home, I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time to the pets I'm caring for. I'm also an early riser, so morning walks and feeding schedules are never a problem. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I take the responsibility seriously and will always keep you in the loop. If your pet has any special needs or routine (whether it's avoiding certain foods, allergens, other dogs, or following specific care instructions), I'll be happy to accommodate them. Your peace of mind is my priority.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been a sitter for dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons! I am the ones my friends, family and neighbors call to watch their loved ones, and i am always more than happy to! I am comfortable pet-sitting for any dog at any age (& i have a soft spot for the seniors!!). I am currently working full-time, but my role is hybrid so i am home some days during the week. My schedule is very flexible, and I am available most weeknights and weekends and can absolutely make time during the weekdays. Let’s connect! I live in a spacious apartment in Scottsdale with a roommate who is also a dog lover. I am tucked away in a safe & friendly neighborhood that is very dog-friendly, as people are always out walking their dogs!

About: As a dog sitter, I bring a unique and personalized approach to each pup I care for. I have a knack for understanding and meeting the individual needs of each dog, whether that's helping a puppy master basic commands or ensuring a senior dog gets their much-needed rest. I always go the extra mile to ensure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved under my care. My goal is to create a home away from home for your furry friend! As someone who's deeply passionate about animals, I'm looking to expand my current commitment of pet sitting. With a flexible schedule and minimal work commitments, I have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting. This allows me to offer more than just occasional care. From daily walks to regular check-ins, I can provide consistent companionship and care for your pet. My ample free time also allows for home stays, making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you're away. With years of experience and a true passion for animals, I'm excited to bring my dog sitting services to more furry friends! In my home, I create a cozy and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel comfortable and loved. I make sure to provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and provide the care they need. Whether it's feeding, walks, or just spending quality time with your pet, I strive to ensure they feel safe and happy in my care. While I do offer limited in-home care, I ensure that your pet receives the same level of attention, love, and personalized care whether they're in my home or yours. I'm dedicated to maintaining a comfortable and familiar environment for your furry friend, no matter where they are.

I recently adopted an adult shelter dog and had to find a dog walker asap. Alana was prompt with responding, friendly, clean, respectful, and gave a text and photo update of my dog's walk. She was patient as I figured out how to navigate booking, she communicated well via text, and made my new-old dog's adjustment (and mine) very smooth!

About: I worked for doggy daycare four years. I mainly worked with little to medium size dogs, but would help out with the big dogs from time to time. I was a shift lead. This means, I have experience in giving oral medication and injectables. Such as insulin for diabetics pets. Not only dogs, but cats as well! As well as making daycare/boarding groups based on age temperament and size. I’m well-versed in dog behavior. Knowing the difference between play and fight is important! At the doggy daycare I worked with a range different age of pets and breeds. This helped me become more adaptable to all of my clients needs. Of course I did the basics! Including regular, and deep cleaning of the yards, the kennels and the grooming room! I continue working with animals today as a technician assistant! I have been working in veterinary medicine for over a year now! I currently work overnight three days a week at emergency vet hospital! Also, in my own home, I’ve always had animals! I enjoy working with high, intelligent dog breed such a German Shepherd! I’ve owned three. As you can tell, I have a strong passion for animals! I’m a College student living with my boyfriend, taking 16 credits this semester! I work three day a week as a technician assistant at an emergency hospital! Tuesday, Thursday-Sunday, I will be available 9am-4pm, to do walks and potty breaks. Thursday and Friday my schedule is open for overnight! I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs. The dogs are usually out every 2 hour for 15 to 20 minutes of outside time. And five minute potty breaks we needed. If weather permits, my German shepherd goes on 30 minute walk daily. For mental and physical stimulation! When there is bad weather days, puzzles and interactive toys are a must! Both of my dogs went with me when I worked at Hound Dog pet hotel West. So they know how to be socially around other peoples dogs.For my cats I have two family cats, and one of my own. Each cat litter is cleaned out twice a week minimum. For all of my animals water is available 24/7. I will treat your pet as I would, my own. By making a routine that keeps him happy and healthy and showing them as much love as possible!

About: I've always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family because I genuinely love animals of all kinds. I grew up caring for our family dogs, helped friends with their puppies in college, and even helped raise a litter of stray kittens that are now my old roommate's spoiled fur babies. I also volunteered at the Arizona Animal Welfare League, where I got to spend even more time caring for animals. Whether they're big or small, shy or energetic, I'll love and care for your pets like they're my own. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I really just enjoy spending time with animals, and I love getting to know each pet's personality. I'll make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you're away, just like I'd want for my own. I know pets are usually most comfortable in their own home, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible while you're away. Whether that's going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or just hanging out with them, I want them to feel comfortable and loved. I'll also make sure to stick to their feeding schedule and any other care they need, and I'll always send updates and photos so you know how they're doing.

Trisha responded immediately to my request for help walking our young and enthusiastic Golden Retriever while I recovered from an injury. She was unfazed by his high energy and managed him well on his walks. He was happy to see her and returned from walks contented. Trisha is always on time and communicates effectively, providing us with an all around great experience.

She is an essential part of the care team, and, for the past year-and-a-half, has done an OUTSTANDING job of walking Roxy, consistently.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Paradise Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Paradise Valley on Rover is $21.25 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,834 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Paradise Valley. 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 Paradise Valley. 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 Paradise Valley.

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 Paradise Valley. On Rover:

  • 94% 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.
