“Tara is so sweet with our two dogs. She quickly has become our regular, go-to sitter/walker, and I cannot recommend her enough. Our two dogs are not the easiest. They aren’t fans of others dogs, and they are very different in size & personality. I trust Tara completely with them. She is a true dog & animal lover. Tara always sends updates & pictures. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me, and I am thankful for Tara & her excellent care 💕”
“This was Andrew's first time walking Buster. Everything went well! Buster is not the easiest dog, but he ate and walked, and did all of his business. I am very happy and look forward to Andrew's next visit!”
“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”
About: I’ve watched dogs and cats in my neighborhoods for 10 years! I have a dog and a cat back home and I have experience with all ages of pets and sizes! I’m a full time student at JMU, I get busy but I’m willing to work around schedules and make it work for you, me and our furry little friends :) I LOVE all types of animals and I will make sure that all they feel is love while you’re out! I’m always really cautious to follow rules left by you!
About: Dogs have been my world for 15 years. I've worked in daycares, training facilities, grooming, shelters, and now I focus on providing reliable walks and personalized care. I offer neighborhood walks during the week, and on weekends I also offer 90 to 120 minute off-leash adventure hikes for the weekend warrior dogs that love to explore and need to burn off some energy! Every visit includes photos, updates, gps and plenty of attention! Dogs are what i do! And because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to provide consistent scheduling and care, building relationships with your pup! Almost any given day you can find me working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I primarily provide care through structured outdoor hikes rather than in-home services. When working in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, controlled environment.
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and take pride in making sure that any animal I encounter is well cared for. I have experience with cats, dogs of all sizes including large dogs (150+ lbs). I currently work full time but from home half the week. I am able to do drop in visits and walks mid-day as well as before and after work hours. As a cat/dog Walker and sitter I treat every home I visit with the same care and respect I have for the animals. I will only ever follow instructions the owners have provided as it relates to their pets and home.
“Lina was absolutely incredible!! We have a pup who is nervous around new people (barking, growling, etc.) and we were so stressed about finding a walker. After having a bad experience with another walker, we found Lina and couldn’t be happier. She was so kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to make our dog comfortable. She even continued some of the training we had been working on. She will definitely be our first call if we need a walker again and we cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Lorenzo was great! Very responsive, punctual, flexible with schedule, clear communicator, and my dog clearly enjoyed her time with him. I'll definitely ask him to help me out with weekly walks going forward.”
“Leigh was great. I was able to be there at the start of the walk, and Leigh asked great questions about what commands my dog knew and what my walk preferences were. She was patient with my dog (who is a puppy) and since they stayed on my property at my request, I was able to watch Leigh play with my puppy outside. Leigh did a great job, and I have asked her to walk my dog on a more regular basis as a result.”
About: Hello I’m Iris! I’m an animal lover who is passionate about spending time with animals and ensuring they feel comfortable, loved and cared for. I grew up working on a friend’s farm in Oregon where I cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens, peacocks, horses and ducks. I have extensive experience caring for different breeds of small and large dogs and cats. I am a cat behaviorist and cat sitter and have over 5 years experience caring for emergency medical cases for kittens and cats through my volunteer work with a nonprofit cat rescue in NYC called Little Wanderers NYC. As part of my volunteer work, I am trained to provide a wide variety of medical care to cats and kittens including subcutaneous injections, vaccines, eye infection treatment, neonatal cat care, bottle feeding for newborn kittens, and oral medications. I am a master at clipping nails for so if your pet needs some grooming I’m happy to provide some spa treatment. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they have everything they need to be healthy, engaged and happy. I am detail oriented and will treat each animal with special attention; providing care tailored to each individual pet’s unique personality and preferences. Outside of my part-time work caring for dogs and cats, I am a scientist and high school science teacher. I have a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and BS in Biochemistry so I have an extensive background in medical science. My research background includes specializations in infectious diseases and cancer biology. As a scientist (molecular and cell biologist, biochemist, structural biologist, biophysicist), I have over 18 years of experience in biomedical research and teaching. I look forward to meeting your pup or kitty! I’m a scientist and high school science teacher so I work part time in the summer and have availability to provide care for your best friend. Your furry friend’s safety and comfort are my #1 priority. I have extensive experience helping pets adjust to new spaces/people and will be patient and thoughtful as your pet adjusts to being around a new person in their home. As a volunteer with Little Wandering NYC animal rescue, I have supported and coached many families through the process of helping their pet adjust to changes in their environment or with moving to a new home after adoption. Moreover, I have also supported families with introducing their new adopted cat to other animals in the home so everyone (all pets) can adjust to the change in a way that is the healthiest for all pets and humans involved in the introduction and change in environment.
About: I had a dog for 10 years and was the primary caretaker. I also dog sit for family and friends when they go out of town Hi 👋🏿 I work from home and I love dogs so this is a convenient way to make extra cash doing something I love. I’m very responsive to dog parents I live alone in a 1 bedroom apartment. I keep my home clean and toxin free. I make sure to keep food and other potentially dangerous items away from all dogs I keep
About: Cat sitting since 12 years old and dog sitting since 18, I've watched numerous pets of all different sizes including exotic pets such as geckos, bearded dragons, fish tanks, chickens, and birds. I've recently worked at a German Shepard breeder with 7 sweet dogs, taking care of them all simultaneously. I walk dogs, sit for all pets, clean cages and bowls, and even wash dogies as well as their beds and toys if necessary. I love animals and they truly love me. I will always treat your fur baby as my fur baby. I'm freelancing at the moment so I can be at your pet's service. I feel most wholesome around animals so be certain I will make all the time needed to care for them. I typically stay at the client's house, make sure there's enough water and that food is given accordingly. I will walk the dogs or let the cats out if allowed and monitor them until they are back inside. I check up on all play areas, pet beds, and aquariums to clean any accidents. I want your pet to feel most comfortable and loved in my presence.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and genuine love for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s managing leash training, administering medications, or just giving your pup a consistent, loving routine while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and pets a safe, happy experience every time. I work a regular 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday. So I am available afternoons, weekends and holidays. I am available to work with your schedule. I have a court yard. I have a dog seat in my car to take them to a local park. There are a few dog friendly parks in the area.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Purchase
I had Christopher come by this weekend for a meet and greet, and I was immediately impressed by how knowledgeable and experienced he seemed with dogs. Since my dog, Nela, doesn’t do well around other dogs, I really needed someone who would be patient, attentive, and confident handling her on walks. Nela seemed to really enjoy her walk with Christopher today, which made me very happy and comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I also loved the photos he sent after the walk, it was such a nice way to see how everything went. I’m very happy with Christopher and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and experienced dog walker!
I've had a great experience with Jennifer, - She is on time, dependable, and clearly care about my dog. I appreciate the updates and communication. It's reassuring to know I can count on her when I need help. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker
Kerry is the absolute best, hands down. He is so responsive, creative, and caring with how we handles every animal in their own unique way. My dog went from yapping at him to embracing him wholeheartedly after just one meet/greet. I highly recommend Kerry and would add that he is a genuinely great person with whom to work. 5 stars without question!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Purchase is $30 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $33 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 26,372 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Purchase. 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 Purchase. 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 Purchase 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 Purchase. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
