Alison is the absolute best! We needed her help twice in the recent weeks with such short notice and she came to the rescue every time. Not only is she flexible and accommodating with our requests, she’s also extremely caring and attentive to our pup. It shows every time we got home with Lucky being super happy. Will definitely ask for her help again in the near future!

About: I’ve cared for pets since age 11, and I truly enjoy giving them the love, attention, and gentle care they need and deserve every day. Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I’m in school, working part-time, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to help whenever needed. I don’t provide in-home boarding, but I always respect and carefully follow each owner’s instructions to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been the proud owner of my own dog for the past 1.5 years. Caring for my own dog has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training, grooming, and recognizing their individual needs. Growing up with dogs has also taught me how to interact with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just providing companionship, I’m committed to following each pet’s routine and making them feel safe and comfortable. I also make time to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive any medications if needed, and have lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and secure and provide regular updates with photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I make sure each pet has access to fresh water, follows their normal feeding schedule, and gets individualized care based on their personality and needs.

About: Hi! I’m Bree, and I’ve always loved animals. I’m currently the proud owner of two cats, Dewey and Olive, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every pet has a unique personality. Some love to play, while others simply want a calm companion, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I work remotely Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer morning, evening, and weekend visits, along with limited midday availability when my schedule permits. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are well cared for! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s tailored to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time together, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

I have babysat dogs and cats before and overnight sat as well. I enjoy being around animals they make me happy. I also own a doggie named Teddy of my own he’s 6 years old and he’s a shitzu.

I walk my dog Teddy, a shitzu everyday twice and he doesn’t have an open yard. Caring for pets at a clients home depend on the space and environment.

Maria was great! She was able to help me out last minute. It was literally less than an hour from the time i reached out to her to the time she came for the keys. She sent updates and even made sure to tell my that one if my dogs had not had a bowel movement. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially considering that particular dog is currently on medication for an unrelated issue.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pike Creek Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Pike Creek Valley on Rover is $15.75 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 4,397 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pike Creek 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 Pike Creek 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 Pike Creek 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 Pike Creek Valley. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
