Kristina is great! She's very good with Teddy but she's also very responsive, timely, and reliable. I a very last minute, no plan kinda person and if she is free she will come in a flash. While my husband is injured I've relied on her help to make sure my very young and active pitbull is walked and exercised. Kristina has been a blessing! Thank you!

Shawnee did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She was flexible when we had last-minute changes and spent a good amount of time with our dog. I would not hesitate to use her again.

She is the BEST! She comes over twice a week to play with my girls since I work long hours. She always sends me updates and lots of pictures for me. She cares so much about my pups and always makes sure they get to go potty and play at the park on her visits. I also love how she makes sure the ground isn't too hot before walking them and keeping me updated through the day. She is also extremely responsive and never leaves me waiting. I wouldnt want anyone else walking my girls!

About: Use code ANAG68736 to get $20 off your first booking! As a dog mom of two, I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. Dogs in my care are treated like family not like they’re at a kennel. They are free to relax around the house, cuddle, play, and be part of our daily routine. I do not crate dogs unless specifically requested by the owner, and guest dogs sleep in our room alongside our own dogs so they feel comfortable, secure, and never alone. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours and receive constant supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, affection, and personalized care based on their individual needs and personalities. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs can always be separated if your pup prefers their own space. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain a calm and clean environment, and provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is with us. I truly care for every dog as if they were my own, and I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free from the moment you book with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your pet will never be left unattended for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are well-socialized; they can always be separated if your pet prefers solo space. I follow all owner instructions closely, use leashes on walks, and maintain a calm, clean environment. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, responsible care with constant supervision.

Once again Karla has come to our rescue. I needed nightly walks for a week. She braved some of the coldest days and walked them every evening to my doggies delight to see their favorite sitter. Much appreciated!

Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a dependable sitter while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently finishing my last semester of college online, which gives me a very flexible schedule.

About: I've owned dogs my since I was little. I've dog sat for families in my neighborhood, months at a time, this included letting the dogs outside, feeding them and administering medication to them. I started sitting after high school for a couple teachers and my principal and since then I’ve made more connections through them. I love meeting new pets because each one has a unique personality. Hoping to meet you and your furry friend(s)! I’m currently working at a restaurant and babysitting but have a flexible schedule. Outside of work I walk the lake or exercise and enjoy pursuing my hobbies so my schedule can easily be adjusted to pet sit! I have reliable transportation. I'm able to walk, feed and spend time with your pets. I ensure they have plenty of time to play and spend time outside. I normally pet sit in their home so I just ensure they have a similar routine and get plenty of love!

Shannon was absolutely amazing with Beau while I was away! 🐾💕 She treated him as if he were her own and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. She was attentive, dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Shannon sent so many sweet pictures and videos, kept me updated, and even surprised Beau with a squeaky toy 🥹. It was so clear how genuinely she cares for animals, and Beau looked so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. I truly could not have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly trust her again. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable pet care. Thank you again for taking such incredible care of my sweet boy! 🥰

FAQs for Dog Walking - Polk City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Polk City on Rover is $16.65 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 3,186 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Polk City. 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 City. 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 City.

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 City. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
