About: I have an older cat who means the world to me, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. Since I work from home, your cat will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also make it a priority to send regular updates and photos because I know how reassuring they are. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day for feedings, playtime, litter box care, and companionship, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. I live in a clean, calm condo and prioritize safety at all times. I keep doors and windows secure, maintain a pet-friendly environment, and closely follow each pet’s routine and instructions.

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, including dogs and horses, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, medications, and providing attentive, calm companionship. My background as a registered nurse has also strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs and comfort. As a nurse with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional last-minute bookings when available. Recent empty nesters. We have a yard and a pool on the property. The pool is not fenced, so pets are always supervised closely when outdoors. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure each dog is monitored at all times and cared for according to their routine and comfort level.

“I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything! 🐾💛”

About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 10 years and have also spent time fostering both dogs and cats, including animals with special needs. That experience has taught me that every pet needs something a little different, whether that means extra patience, a specific routine, a slower introduction, or just plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with everything from newborn kittens to extra-large dogs, and I’m very comfortable around big breeds since we have large dogs of our own at home. Fostering has also given me experience working with animals who may be nervous, shy, adjusting to a new environment, or in need of a little extra care. I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to meet animals where they are rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cautious and reserved, or convinced they should be the center of attention at all times, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and varying times throughout the day, including early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between. I know pet routines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or a little extra flexibility, I’ll do my best to make scheduling easy and reliable. Safety, trust, and communication are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I make a point to keep owners in the loop. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always respect both your space and your pet’s boundaries. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice something. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.

About: I've been caring for my own dog for the past 14 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life—from a playful puppy to a senior companion. Over the years, I've handled daily walks, feeding, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when needed, and making sure my dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a teenager, I also walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, which helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and walking styles. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own 14-year-old dog every day, making time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Because caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, I'm happy to fit additional walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting into my schedule. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to be dependable and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care their pet requires. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean and secure and providing updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved until you return home!

About: I have had pets in my household since I was a toddler. From a young age I have learned how to care for them and be responsible with such things as feeding, givings meds, regular walks and play, grooming, and various special needs like spoon feeding and assisting with mobility for senior pets. I have even taken part in going through a full puppy obedience course as well as a few months of agility classes. My work schedule is normally pretty flexible with hybrid depending on the time of the year. Typically I am the most free in the mornings and will have some availability in the afternoons where I will sometimes need to drive locally for a couple hours. Most evenings are pretty free as well. Since I am renting I am not allowed to have pets in my own home, but I have house and pet sat for friends and family before and always do my best to respect and keep the place in the same way it was left. Most times I do find that having the pet in their own space is best and can help ease anxiety instead of making sudden changes to a new one.

About: 🐾 Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! With over 15 years of professional experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary care, I provide a safe, personalized home-away-from-home for every dog I welcome. Set on a peaceful one-acre property, my home offers plenty of room to explore, play, and relax while receiving individualized care in a calm, loving environment. I intentionally accept a limited number of dogs so each guest gets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. ⸻ Dedicated indoor boarding suite currently being built with spacious kennels and a secure outdoor play area for even more comfort and enrichment! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I schedule my day around the pets in my care to make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. I provide regular outdoor time, daily walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and lots of one-on-one interaction. My goal is to keep each pet’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can see how much fun their pets are having. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests provided by their owner. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervised playtime, daily walks, outdoor time, fresh water, treats (with owner approval), comfortable places to rest, and lots of love and attention. I maintain a clean, calm environment and only care for a limited number of pets at a time so each one gets personalized care. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also clean up accidents, scoop litter boxes if needed, bring in mail or packages, water plants upon request, and send photo and video updates after every visit so owners can have peace of mind.

Luiza has been walking my two large dogs for the past couple of months a couple of times a week. She is a great communicator, trustworthy, reliable and the dogs love her! My one dog was giving her a hard time not wanting to walk at the beginning, but she handled it perfectly and eventually got the dog comfortable with walking with her. I highly recommend Luiza for your dog walking needs!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Plantation

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Plantation is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 7,517 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Plantation. 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 Plantation. 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 Plantation 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 Plantation. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
