“Carolina was so great! She was super communicative and reassured us during our trip that our dog was in good hands. She followed all of our directions perfectly and we felt comfortable that our dog was safe and loved while we were gone. She was even flexible enough to accommodate some of our changes and when there were things she wasn’t sure about she asked us.”

“Responsive, reliable and flexible!! Everting you want in a dog walker or sitter. Adrienne has been a blessing and huge help. My girl Zoa loves her and looks forward to their biweekly walks in the park! She makes my girl feel special and relieves a ton of worry for this pup mom. She is flexible when we need to change or weather and always leaves descriptive cards and great pics. Highly recommend .”

About: While I’m new to offering pet-care services through Rover, I bring more than 12 years of hands-on animal-care experience. I’ve fostered more than 100 rescue animals, caring for them in my home until they were ready for adoption. I’ve also worked as a dog trainer with clients referred through Pet Supermarket locations in Parkland, Boca Raton, and Miami. My volunteer experience includes the South Florida Wildlife Center, Broward County Animal Care, a local guinea pig rescue, and several cat rescues. Through fostering and volunteer work, I’ve cared for animals of different ages and with a wide range of needs, including neonatal kittens and animals requiring medical care. I have experience administering oral medications and subcutaneous fluids. I also care for my own cat with epilepsy and manage her medication schedule and daily routine. I have a 75-pound Alaskan Malamute, so I’m comfortable caring for and handling larger dogs. I’m also familiar with Litter-Robot systems, automatic feeders, smart collars, and other pet technology. Simple, Clear Pricing For drop-in visits, pricing is based on the length of the visit, not the number of pets. All household pets are included at no additional charge as long as their care can comfortably be completed within the selected 30- or 60-minute visit. 30-minute drop-in: $10 60-minute drop-in: $20 30-minute dog walk: $10 Rover applies its standard 11% booking fee at checkout. I’m currently offering introductory rates while I build my client base and reviews on Rover. I’m a University of Florida graduate and work from home as a forensic accountant, which gives me flexibility to schedule visits throughout the day. My accounting work depends on accuracy and discretion, which are equally important when caring for someone’s pets and home. As a Rover client myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and informed when someone else is caring for your pets. Before your first booking, we can meet to review your pets’ routines, care instructions, supplies, and home access. During each visit, I’ll follow the instructions we discussed and use the scheduled time for the care you requested. Depending on your pets’ routines, this may include meals, fresh water, medication, litter or enclosure care, bathroom breaks, walking, playtime, and companionship. After each visit, I’ll send an update with photos, confirm that the requested care was completed, and let you know if I noticed anything unusual. For walks, I’ll follow your instructions regarding equipment, pace, and interactions with other animals. For cat boarding, we’ll review the routine and communication schedule before drop-off. I’ll secure your home and reset any alarm or security system according to your instructions before leaving.

“Just completed our first week with Kimberly, and we have had nothing short of a great experience. She is very sweet, reliable, a great listener, and is great with our baby. We also enjoy seeing the pictures and data collected for his walk. We have never hired a walker before, so we were not totally sure what to expect. That said, she has been absolutely wonderful, and we feel lucky that we got it right the first time with Kimberly :) Thank you so much!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.

“Ryan and Debbie were absolutely fantastic from the very first moment I contacted them. I contacted them with a last moment request when my son’s friend backed out at the last moment. My son was leaving on a business trip and I am recuperating from a leg injury that prevents me from walking my son’s 4 1/2 year old Gerberian Shepsky (GS Dog and Siberian Husky mix). He is a great dog but does not realize his own substantial strength. Ryan responded to my request within minutes and was available that morning. From the moment I met Ryan and his Fiance Debbie, it was evident that they love dogs and love taking care of them. They immediately became close with the dog and he would become very excited when they came to walk him. They would show up and he would run and say hello and then sit at the door for them to put his leash on Walks were long, especially in this heat, annd they would even run with him. Numerous photo updates would arrive by text while he was out on the walk and they would provide detailed reports of the walk. They will be by first choice when future needs present themselves and I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone. They are true dog lovers who liove what they do and it shows.”

Just graduated college, looking for something to occupy my time while I wait to start school again. I will be available at all times, whenever I am needed. I have two other dogs that are extremely friendly with other dogs. I also have a cage to put away the dogs when needed in case of anything

“Carolina is the best dog care taker I have ever used. She sends me photos and videos of her on the walks with my Sammy and plays with him and give him water and food if needed. Sammy loves her and loves to see her when she comes to my apartment. She has even taken him to the dog park to play with other dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing animal lover and care taker.”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for about a year. Animals are my passion, and I’m currently studying to become a Wildlife Biologist. My experience may not be perfect, but my passion definitely is! I can guarantee your doggo will love me, and be completely taken care of. I'm a college student and part time worker. My schedule varies day by day, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to settle on a time that works out. I care for pets by just being there with them, keeping them company and being attentive. A dog is a friend, and wants to chill and play with you just like your friend would.

About: My family has always owned dogs growing up. I’ve had my goldendoodle, Champ, for 2 years now and he’s the sweetest boy. Having him as my own has really taught me responsibility and that they are 100% part of the family as well. He loves trips to the dog park! He is fully trained and loves other dogs. He has gotten along with every dog he has encountered. I’ve had experience with friends who have used Rover and I figured it was time for me to join them! I have a big fenced in yard where all the dogs play. I am able to provide any service for your dogs whether it be walking them or housing them. I LOVE dogs and will take amazing care of your babies!!!

About: I’ve been pet sitting around my community for over 5 years. I’ve taken care of an array of pets- from small and calm to big and upbeat- I am able to adapt to all needs. I also dog sat several times for a poor pup that was paralyzed from the waist down, so I have strong experience in changing diapers, bathing, and attending to the needs of disabled pets. I am currently enrolled in classes at Florida State University but am back in my hometown of Parkland, Florida for the summer! My availability is almost entirely free as I unfortunately haven’t secured a part time summer job but my calendar will be updated regularly if anything comes up. I am very attentive when taking care of others pets. I am very punctual when it comes to feeding and walking times. I also really enjoy the company of animals so I will not only care for the basic needs of the pets but also will spend my time playing with them and providing them with entertainment.

About: I have always loved animals and have been caring for them for over 12 years. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their different personalities. I treat every pet like they are my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I have cared for cats and dogs for most of my life, and I have also had experience caring for some exotic pets. I currently have two big dogs and a kitten of my own. I also have a senior dog back in Minnesota, so I have experience with older pets and the extra care and attention they can need. I had my first cat from the time I was 8 years old until she passed away at 17. Being with her through every stage of her life taught me so much about caring for a pet and paying attention to the little things that can make them comfortable. I love playing with pets, giving them attention, keeping up with their normal routine, and making sure they are happy while their people are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands. 🥰 My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually work with different schedules and care needs. I just ask for a few days notice whenever possible so I can make sure I have the time available. If you have a specific schedule or request, feel free to reach out and ask! ☺️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I also give pets space if they need it and never force them to interact with me. I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your home and taking care of your pets. I will always treat your home with respect and take the responsibility of caring for your pets seriously.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was lucky enough to have a Doberman Pinscher, a Chihuahua Shih Tzu mix, and a cat, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. As an adult, I got a dog of my own, a Pitbull Lab mix, and she’s been my best companion ever since. I’m naturally very comfortable around animals and have a calm, confident approach to handling dogs. I believe in being firm but gentle, creating structure and boundaries while making sure a dog always feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and needs rather than taking a one size fits all approach. I especially love going on long walks and letting dogs experience the world around them. I’m a big believer in allowing dogs plenty of time to stop, sniff, explore, and take in their surroundings. Walks aren’t just physical exercise, they’re important mental stimulation too! Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, some extra love and attention, or simply a calm and dependable person to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I’m able to accommodate different schedules and routines and can often be flexible with timing. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure to maintain their pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to provide whatever care they need, whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, letting them outside, or simply giving them lots of love and affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow the owner’s preferences and instructions to make sure their pet receives the kind of care they’re used to.

I can’t say enough good things about Toni! She has been amazing with my two dogs, Moshi and Louie.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Parkland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Parkland on Rover is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 7,585 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Parkland. 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 Parkland. 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 Parkland 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 Parkland. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
