Robert is great with my dog. He treats her very well. Makes sure she gets her walk rain or shine. Robert keeps me updated with everything going on and is a great communicator.

About: Helping pets feel at home while I work toward my BA 🐾 Cat mom of three and lifelong dog lover. I keep routines consistent, give lots of attention, and treat every pet like my own. Updates and photos always included! I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and keep pets supervised during walks and playtime. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away, and I treat every home and pet with care and respect.

About: I have taken care of dogs as well as cats since I was 10 years old when I got my first pet a small dog named bandit. Since then we have welcomed two wonderful cats into our home who I took care of until I went off to college. When I started to drive I got the opportunity and trust of students and parents at my school to watch there dogs while they were out of town or on vacation. However, when I went off to college I was unable to keep at it. Until this year that is. When I was recommended by that same family to watch some other dogs that were in my area. They travel a lot for softball mostly on the weekends so it was a good fit. I am ready to now expand into new territory here in west Palm beach! I currently am a full time student at Palm beach Atlantic university but I have a shorter day on Monday’s, Wednesday and on Friday's. I can also do weekends if needed. I do occasionally go home to take care of some other pets on the weekends but it is not consistent so it should not be a problem. I usually take care of pets in the clients home since I currently am living in a dorm. Depending on what you need me for I could take care of your pet any way that you need me to! If you need me to let your pups out three times a day I could do that! But twice is just as good too! I will love your pet like it is my own and take really good care of it so you will not worry when you are away! I can even send pictures of your pet so you can see that they are doing just fine.

About: Hi! I'm Billie, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet while you're away. I've spent more than 35 years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and special attention. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My husband works from home, and I have a flexible part-time schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll tailor their care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and recognizing when something just isn't quite right. I also have professional dog grooming experience, which is available as an optional add-on service. Our home is shared with two friendly dogs—Veronica, a gentle Standard Poodle, and Edgar Allen, an easygoing Pug—who have taught me even more about patience, compassion, and individualized care. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular photo updates and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. For everyone's safety, I require a meet-and-greet before first-time boarding and only accept friendly, non-aggressive pets that are current on flea prevention. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member and provide the same level of care I'd want for my own pets. Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life. My husband works from home during the day, and I work part-time with a flexible schedule, so someone is always home to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. Our own dogs are part of the family, and caring for them is our daily routine. Whether your pet is staying in our home or I'm caring for them in yours, I make sure they receive the same love, attention, and consistency they're accustomed to. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special medical or dietary needs so I can provide individualized care. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. For everyone's safety, I require a meet-and-greet before first-time boarding and cannot accept dogs with a history of aggression or pets with contagious illnesses or flea infestations.

This is my first time ever using any sort of dog sitting service. I have to admit I was hesitant in the beginning, but after a very pleasant pre booking meeting with Alexsiya with my 2 dogs along with my wife and daughter all of my apprehensions were put to rest. Alexsiya was absolutely passionate about caring for both my pups and was patient with my lack of knowing how to use the app. She was in constant communication with detailed maps of where and how long she walked BatMan and Reagan. She took plenty of pics that completely assured me they were in safe and caring hands as well as that they were behaving for her. She also told us she is available to spend the night with our dogs as well and we may take her up on that and have absolutely no qualms about her staying in our home while we aren't there. Alexsiya, will be everything you ever hoped for in someone to care for your dogs. I have complete confidence and trust in her and we will without a doubt call on her again when we need to. On a scale from 1 to 10, Alexsiya is a 11!

Juliana provides great care for my dog Paco. We have a reoccurring schedule set up and she is consistent and thorough with her services. Based on my experiences, I would recommend her to any pet owner in need. She communicates well and provides a very friendly and caring demeanor towards animals. She has proven to be reliable and consistent, which are two things I’d assume all owners are looking for when we are looking for a helping hand. Thanks for all you do Juliana.

Greg is seriously the best dog walker I could ask for. He’s super flexible and always helps me out when my schedule changes last minute. My 100 lb lab, Copper, LOVES him and is always worn out after their walks. Greg makes sure Copper has water and that he’s safely secured in the house before leaving, which I really appreciate while I’m at work. I’ll definitely be using him for all future walks. Thanks so much, Greg!

I’m new to the area and she even shared info on vet and grooming places. I was eager to find someone at last minute because I just moved in and I’m new to this city.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Port Saint Lucie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Port Saint Lucie on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 995 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Port Saint Lucie. 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 Port Saint Lucie. 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 Port Saint Lucie.

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 Port Saint Lucie. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
