“We love Danielle! Communicative and so helpful. Boomer looks forward to her weekly walks with Danielle and the cats love to rub on her when she pops in to visit them. She’s very accomodating!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner since age 10. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (including giant dogs), geriatric dogs, dogs that need medications, special diets, and/or diapers, as well as the joys and frustrations of puppyhood. I will treat your dog as if it is my own (and probably give them a few nicknames too). Bring on the wet nose kisses, walks, play time, and cuddles! I’m self-employed so I can be available any time or day of the week. I’m proud to provide flexible and last minute scheduling for my clients. I consider it a privilege to have you trust me with your furry family member(s). I want their experience to be as smooth and consistent as possible while you are away, so I’m happy to follow any and all routines, as “weird” or “complicated” as you might think they are. The last thing I want is for you to be worried about your pet(s) while you are gone. Trust they are in good hands with me.
“Michaela was GREAT! She was as super detailed in her questions to make our first booking extra smooth! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some reliable and caring for your pet!”
About: Please read in entirety to help everyone find the best match for both our home and your pet(s). Disclosure - Things that are helpful for sitters/walkers/daycare providers Please complete your profile in entirety, including any and all pertinent information regarding your pet. Rover has an excellent platform for owners to detail care instructions and these profiles are very helpful in providing A+ service. I do not accept new clients who have not completed their pet care profiles, who have not provided veterinary contact information, and who are not able/willing to start the sitting/walking/daycare process with a brief meet and greet. It is also extremely important that you are open and honest about your dogs behavior and tendencies. It can be very stressful for a dog to stay in a different home with new, unfamiliar animals, and the more I know about your pet's needs and habits, the better we will be at providing excellent service. New clients will be carefully vetted so as to ensure I can care for your fur buddy to the best of my ability. My Experience I've had dogs my whole life, from backyard pets to sled dogs, to indoor cuddle buddies. Dogs get me, and I get them. I'll take care of your beloved family member and make sure to treat them like my own. Whether it be a daily walk, a brief play date, or an overnight, I can handle the nuances of the situation and the unique personality of your pooch! My Home and Neighborhood I live alone and will be the sole caretaker of your dog. I have a spacious home so if your pet needs his/her own space, I can accommodate. I also have a fenced in yard but will monitor all guests as I’ve learned that a fence won’t keep the curious ones in, no matter how high! And without any pets of my own at this time, your dog will have a quiet and stress free home to relax in. My neighborhood is very walkable with many parks just a few minutes away. Please let me know if there’s anything unique or special about your buddy and I’ll cater to his/her needs. All animals (humans included!) are unique and I’ll mold the experience to ensure that your family member feels as though he/she is at home. About Me I was born in the Omaha area but have lived in quite a few places in either the US or abroad. I’m a former Peace Corps Volunteer, and now work with youth in the juvenile justice system. I also coach distance runners in track and cross country. I have done a wonderful job of creating a healthy and happy home, both inviting and accommodating. I work daytime hours, 2 minutes from home and can check in with overnight guests regularly. I am almost always home in the evening and this will certainly be the case if I have overnight guests. Expectations I will welcome new animals into our home and treat them like family. With this intention, I do require your pet be current on vaccinations, housebroken, and friendly. I require a meet and greet so I can learn from you on how best to care for your pet. Lastly My intentions here on Rover isn’t to make money as much as it is to provide a meaningful service. I really do love animals and find them to be so enjoyable to be around. My goal is to care for your furry family member as if he/she were my own. I look forward to meeting the dog in your life and the opportunity to make a new furry friend! Feel free to reach out and we can arrange a meeting to see if we can work together! I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently working full time but have a flex schedule which allows me to spend time throughout the day at home with my guests. Your pet will not be alone for more than a few hours at at time during the weekdays and even less so during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard but always monitor new guest so as to ensure they are safe and secure. I’ve learned from the curious ones!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them unique. I also have experience working on basic training, including leash manners and commands like sit, heel, and wait. I’m not just there to check in and leave, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and helping them have a fun, positive experience. Just a college girl side-hustling by doing something I genuinely love! I’m a full-time student at UNO, but with classes only two days a week, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets! I’m also taking a walking/jogging class this semester, so getting outside for walks is already part of my routine. It works out perfectly because I get to stay active, and your pup gets a fun walk and some extra attention! I treat every dog like they’re my own! I know how important it is for your furry friend to stay active, happy, and entertained, so I make sure every walk and visit is filled with plenty of attention and love. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for every pup to come home happy, tired, and feeling extra loved!

About: Hi! My name is Mia and I am originally from Colorado, but now work as a nurse at Children’s. I have had two or more pets in my household growing up, and am a dog lover. I have watched and taken care of dogs my whole life. Would love to meet your fur babies!! I am currently free every weekend and Monday, so I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pups! I am also free on Fridays after noon to dog sit!! I do not have any pets at home so all of my attention will go to your first baby.

About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
“Gracie was an absolute lifesaver walking my dog, Bagel! She was punctual, kept us updated the whole time, and Bagel absolutely adored her. I’d highly recommend booking with Gracie!”
“Joshua is an excellent dog walker! He is very consistent, dependable, friendly, on time, and overall a great person! Jaxon loves his walks with Joshua. I can tell by Jaxons big smile in his pictures! I would call on Joshua again and again when I need help with Jaxon. He’s available to help with medication as well when needed and multiple walks a day if needed. Jaxon was also just neutered and needed some extra love and attention. Joshua is a great dog sitter! Highly recommend.”
About: I am a pet momma who loves animals and help families out when needed as I know how hard it is to find good care for their furbabies while away. I am currently off summers so free time is easy but when school starts again I will fit the pet care in after work or weekends. I make things work. I love animals and take very good care of them. I treat them like they are my own pets. Whatever needs they need i will care for them.
About: With 12 years of experience in pet sitting and animal care, I bring a genuine love for animals, including hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for pets in Grand Forks. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! Im available during the day and weekends, I work nights so my schedule it’s pretty flexible especially in the mornings as I attend school in the afternoon Not ion my home because of children and a baby. But I’m more than willing to pet sit at anyone’s home or just to help!
“Usually we don't get to see our sitters in action; we're away, and that's why they're there. This time however I was recovering from surgery and needed Sierra to take care of walks etc. that I couldn't do. As always she was reliable, punctual, and flexible. Watching her relate to Jasper and Boo was a revelation though, she has a natural gift for bonding with them and a genuine love for them and what she does. Jasper's eleven, but he was acting more like two when she was playing with him, really put a spring in that old guy's step! Meant a lot to me to see the pets' spirits being lifted as well as mine, helped with my recovery as I wasn't feeling especially great. And always ready to take care of any other little thing that needed doing. I'm very grateful, and can recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you Sierra!”
About: I grew up with many pets around me and have come to enjoy the company of those companions. Although, I cant own my own pet baby at the moment, I am more excited to give that love to the ones I watch! I have an open schedule on days that aren’t Tuesdays and Thursdays but I am willing to work around those times and provide the best care needed for your pet. I don’t have any pets in my home at the moment but I will make sure to show extreme care towards your pets from the beginning to the end of service.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ralston
Ryan is an amazing dog walker. He built a great relationship with our dog, and kept in touch with us all the time. Ryan walked our dog every morning for three weeks and every single walk was perfect. Our dog waited excitedly by the door every morning for Ryan to arrive and gave him a thank you cuddle afterwards. We received pictures and reports, both verbally and through Rover every day. I can't recommend Ryan enough, he was wonderful to work with and I look forward to booking him again soon.
Danielle does such a great job with my dog! I’ve always struggled with being able to do other things outside of work like Coaching because I always felt bad that I couldn’t take care of my dog perfectly. Danielle erases that worry. I get pictures of how happy my dog is while achieving new dreams. She’s the best!
Greg has outstanding communication and has been a great partner for us in caring for our dogs. He has promptly brought issues to our attention and even helped brainstorm solutions. Greg has been flexible with our schedule and most importantly, our dogs love him! Highly recommended!
Michael did a fantastic job! I've got a big German shepherd and had to leave him alone with my wife who struggles to walk him right now. Michael was super flexible in his schedule and always came through. My wife would call me while I was away and tell me how happy our pup was to go on his walks and how energetic he became whenever Michael stopped by! Excellent service and will definitely use again
Robert is great! Millie seemed to love her walks with him. Looking forward to having him watch her for a couple weeks in the near future! I was very nervous to leave her with anyone for that long, but I feel reassured knowing that Robert will take care of her like his own dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Ralston is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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 974 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ralston. 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 Ralston. 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 Ralston 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 Ralston. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
