“Christel is extremely communicative and responsive....but most importantly, our dog genuinely enjoys his walks with her. She does a thorough job walking him around the neighborhood, allowing plenty of time for sniffing.....AND she has the patience to deal with our cranky old dog when he just doesn't wanna go outside. She's successfully lured him downstairs and coaxed him into his much needed walks several times. She is our regular walker for a reason!! Highly recommend.”

“Helena went above and beyond! I reached out last minute because I was stuck at work and she was able to walk my dog. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and familiar with her before they went for a walk. She also refilled his water bowl! My dog is very timid and shy with new people but he warmed to Helena with just a few treats.”

About: I have great experience with cats, I have had my cat since I adopted her at the age of about 2 months old and adopted my other cat at 1 year old! I often walk and play my sister’s 2 year old poodle I currently work a hybrid position where I only work in office 6x a month with only 1-2 meetings a day, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to drive to your house as well if you do not live within walking distance. I take care of my sister’s dog when she goes to work and I am comfortable with crating dogs as well. I often take care of my sister’s cats when she is on vacation so I am good with feeding cats and cleaning litter as well as giving them love and attention when they want it!

About: I have taken care of friend's pets going back 20 plus years. I also have my own two dogs for 6 years now. I enjoy interacting with dogs and playing tug of war or fetch a ball. I was a math and science teacher but now I work part-time tutoring students. I love to get out and walk and move around with my dogs and I love meeting new dogs and giving them attention. I have a secure back yard and my neighborhood is very pet friendly with many dogs. There are several parks within walking distance (including across the street from my house) that are perfect for a nature walk. I have a comfortable family room with a bean bag chair and plenty of places for a pet to relax.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: ** update: i am currently limiting my availability as I prepare to bring home a new puppy! I will be reopening my calendar in September for private single family dog boardings. For walks and other services, please send me a message! ** Hi there! I’m Nic, I am 34, and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I truly enjoy their company. I promise to care for your pup as if they were my own. I’m happiest when a dog is near, and as dog parents, I’m sure you understand that feeling! When I use Rover as a dog parent, I’m nervous about choosing someone to care for my dog, so I understand anxieties about leaving your precious baby with someone new. I promise your dog will be treated with patience, kindness, and love, just as I have with my pup. I an actively working on becoming a certified dog trainer. I have done a lot of research, and trained my own dogs. I’d be happy to work on sessions while your pup is in my care. If there’s anything you’re actively working on reinforcing for cues and/or behaviors, please let me know! I keep food/water bowls (3cup size), dog bags, treats, toys, and bones in the house - I’ll ask you if there’s any restrictions on treats, bones etc. i try to have you need to bring as little as possible for your pup; I know the hassle of getting the whole family ready - let alone the dog’s stuff! If there’s anything you need specific, just ask! I work remotely from home full time, so I am available and would be with your pup all day (for boardings), or available for different timed drop ins or walks! My meeting schedules vary daily/weekly but I am overall available and present with your pet during the day and night. *** Please note that I keep my calendar availability open 6 months at a time. If you need a booking request further out than 6 months please select any available date and message me your actual requested days for review *** I do not have any other pets in my home. I do not have any children. I also do not have any males in my home, if your pup is weary of new men (No offense fellas!) I do live in a condo building, so your pup will need to be able to walk up stairs. There is an elevator in the building, but we will take the stairs if they fear or are uncertain of the elevator. Your pup must be OK walking on-leash, as we are not allowed to have dogs off-leash on the property. If your pup requires off-leash potty breaks, i recommend drop-ins instead of boarding.

Alexis is absolutely wonderful! 🐾 She is patient, dependable, diligent, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my stubborn, opinionated corgi inu gets the best possible walks. And trust me, he definitely has his own ideas about how things should go! 😂 She takes the time to work with his unique personality, lets him enjoy his adventures, and handles his strong-willed nature with care and patience. Finding someone you can trust with your four-legged family member is so important, and Alexis has been fantastic. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog walker!🐶❤️

We absolutely love Olivia! She has been wonderful and incredibly patient with Bear, who definitely has a personality of his own. 😊 She does such a great job reading his mood and adapting to whatever kind of day he is having, which has made such a difference. She is also a fantastic communicator, dependable, and genuinely seems to care about Bear. With a recent change in my work schedule, having her help has been a HUGE relief and has made life so much easier for me. I feel completely comfortable knowing Bear is in such good hands. We are so grateful to Olivia—and I know Bear is pretty happy about it too! 🐾❤️

FAQs for Dog Walking - Penfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Penfield is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 9,346 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Penfield. 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 Penfield. 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 Penfield 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 Penfield. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
