Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.

About: As a dedicated dog walker with a true passion for animals, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s energetic walks, reinforcing basic training, administering medications, or simply giving your furry friend the attention they deserve, I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. Treating every pet like family is at the heart of what I do. This is something to keep me busy as I’m a stay at home mom! My schedule can be very flexible and willing to work with you for all your furry friend needs I have a third legged beagle who is a couch potato. I have a cattle dog who keeps me on my toes but is always down for an adventure! I also have two kitties they are orange tabbies and definitely the stereotype. We have days full of love and snuggles.

I recently hired Kerry as a dog walker for my Evan, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Kerry is incredibly reliable and professional. She also provides regular updates and is very communicative, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.

Kristi did an excellent job with Bo! He was very excited to see her and had a fun walk with her and slept well after. :-) She did a great job at keeping me updated throughout the walk, and I was very pleased overall!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)

About: I have been caring for dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for my mom’s coworkers’ dogs, neighbors’ pets, and animals of different sizes and personalities. I have provided overnight stays, regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable following specific routines and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m happy to make time for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and overnight care depending on what your pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for. I always make sure pets are supervised, have plenty of attention, and have everything they need. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide.

About: I’ve been around Dogs all my life. I have Dogs sat for friends, friends of friends in their home in my home, taking a break from corporate world. I’m looking to connect with some more animals Dog specifically I’m professional, loving sweet. I’m someone who hugs and holds animals constantly andas much as possible. Your pet will be loved with me that’s for sure.. I do have a nine year-old professionally trained miniature schnauzer. He would always be with me or hear in my home. He will not necessarily be on walks or check-in, but overnights are boarding in my home. Definitely he’s very very sweet. I would definitely be using my computer during my visits while sitting on the couch with him and if I have any board meetings or interviews, I might also use your Wi-Fi. After many years in a professional career, I’m taking a meaningful break to focus on two things that bring me joy—writing and spending more time outdoors with wonderful dogs. My schedule is intentionally flexible, allowing me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. I believe pet parents deserve to enjoy vacations, work trips, or even a quiet evening out without guilt or worry. While you’re away, your pup will receive genuine companionship, thoughtful care, and plenty of love, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or curling up for cuddles, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I also have an almost 9-year-old, 14-pound Miniature Schnauzer who is professionally trained and truly the sweetest little companion I could ask for. He has a gentle temperament, loves other dogs, and provides calm, friendly company for pups who enjoy having a canine friend. If your dog prefers people over other dogs, I’m equally happy to give them one-on-one attention and will always respect their individual needs and comfort level. I believe in what I call “cuddle care”—gentle affection, belly rubs, calming massages, talking to dogs, and even singing to those who enjoy the extra attention. If your pup isn’t a snuggler, that’s perfectly okay too! I’ll always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is for every visit to be filled with kindness, patience, and positive experiences so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for like one of my own.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.

About: Hello! My name is Amanda Engel. I am a trusted, experienced pet care professional who is very passionate about dogs! -Experience: I am a graduate of the Medina County Career Center's two year Animal Care program in which I worked in a Doggy Daycare, grooming salon, veterinary lab, and a pet shop as a part of the program. I have volunteered at the Humane Society for many years and currently volunteer for a local pet rescue. I have fostered dogs (both puppies and adults), and with a little patience and love, have helped many fearful dogs recover, learn to trust again, and become adoptable. I’ve always been told that dogs are drawn to me (probably because they can sense that I love them so much!). -Services: Regarding my services, I have years of experience in providing a variety of pet care services (drop-in care, dog walking, and overnight care). I have provided care for dogs anywhere from 5 pounds to 100 pounds! I am well rounded when it comes to experience with different breeds and always accommodate to the individual needs of each dog. I have uploaded lots of photos of my time spent with with my beloved fur friends! Feel free to check them out! (Click on my photo and then “Gallery”). Regarding my schedule, I currently have availability for your pet and am accepting new clients. I look forward to getting to know your pet and spending time with him / her! Since the comfort and safety of your pet is my #1 priority, I take the following steps to ensure a safe and healthy environment: - Monitoring weather conditions and limiting time outdoors in excess heat -Always keeping dogs on a leash when outdoors -Inquiring about any medical history or needs and adhering to any medication schedules -Taking a Canine First Aid & CPR course periodically to maintain safety skills

About: I am and have been vegan since I was a child. I’ve always had a deep love for and towards animals ever since I can remember. I like to be in animals energy and presence. Even when giving “care” it’s enjoyable and pleasing for me to offer that for your pets. I bring a calm and peaceful vibe to any situation. I want to be a safe and comfortable space for your animals. ~ If you book the house sitting option, I am only available to sit throughout the day. No sleepovers. I currently am a part time student studying vet tech with a fine arts minor! I have a great amount of free time and flexible schedule to accommodate “different” jobs and care. I live in an apartment with 3 cats. I don’t have any closed off areas at the moment and my cats free roam around the house.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Polk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 493 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Polk. 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 Polk. 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 Polk.

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 Polk. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
