“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
“Madison is great! She was available last minute and did a perfect job with Charlie! He was always well cared for and happy when I got home. She is reliable and caring! Will definitely book again!”
“Frances and Julia did a great job with Marge! They spent extra time hanging out with her after the walk. Marge looked so happy in the photos and we are very appreciative!”
“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Corrine is a blessing. I injured myself and was unable to walk my pup, she responded to a last minute request, had her own supplies, and walked him far enough that when he came home, he was exactly how I like him to be, exhausted. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Courtney was truly exceptional with my little anxious boy, Gus. She cared for him with so much patience, compassion, and genuine understanding. She went out of her way to ensure he felt safe and comfortable, even while he was struggling with separation anxiety and the challenges that come with it. It’s not easy to support a dog through that level of emotional stress, but Courtney handled everything seamlessly and with such kindness. I feel incredibly grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Gus, especially during more difficult times. Courtney went goes above and beyond, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a little extra care, attention, and love.”
“Noila was wonderful, she stepped in at the last minute to walk my dog who had gotten sick and needed to be checked on. She was super responsive to changes to the schedule and was prompt with the walk.”
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal husbandry trainer for seals and sea lions. However, I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and goats! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I can also take care of fish and do water quality and system maintenance. I am available all day and night Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! I also have availability after 6:00pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I work from Thursday-Saturday at an aquarium (7am-4:30). I will make sure that your pet is treated with proper care and attention. If you have a shy animal, I will be happy to be patient, soft voiced, and gentle. If you have a energetic animal I will gladly match their energy!
About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of many species my whole life. From dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, fish, frogs, and more, I know how to care for your animal! I currently have a dog, cat, rabbit and leopard gecko of my own. I am currently a local college student and have a wide open schedule! I am very flexible so feel free to send me a message even if it’s just for a 1 day walk. I am not currently doing overnight services with my schedule. However I am able to do drop in services and walks for your furry friends!
“Awesome first walk today. My pup is a little timid and not used to having strangers in her space. Rebecca was incredibly patient with Penny and really focused on creating a bond with her which is so so important. By the end of the visit Penny was eating treats out of her hand, licking her face, and welcomed Rebecca’s cuddles. I couldn’t believe she was able to win Penny over so quickly. Couldn’t be happier!”
About: +9 Pet care experience includes hands-on tasks like feeding, walking, grooming, and administering medication, along with behavioral management and safety monitoring. Relevant experience ranges from volunteering at shelters to professional pet sitting, overnight care, and managing specialized needs for senior or anxious pets I work from home with a flexible active lifestyle. I am able to fit pet care easily into my life with how I manage everything. I have a big fenced in yard, I would treat the pet like one of my own and they would enjoy going out for hikes/walks
About: I've had a dog of my own for about 10 years, and I’ve also cared for other dogs for up to 5 days at a time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being around dogs—they genuinely make me happy. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs and always try to adjust to each dog’s pace and needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely with flexible hours, so I’m available for regular walks throughout the day. I love taking breaks to get outside, and walking dogs is the perfect way to add movement and joy to my daily routine. I do my best to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of playtime and affection (if they want it!), and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home, leave everything as I found it, and always keep in touch with updates and photos.
About: I have been a pet lover all my life! Because I live in a condo with no yard, my family and I agreed it is not fair to have any pets. As a compromise, we offer to pet sit for our family and friends every chance we get. I have taken care of new born kittens, cats of all ages, small and medium sized dogs as well as blind dogs. I am very comfortable with dogs and truly love them! I love to play, walk and snuggle! As a graduate student I have free time during the day to care for your pets and I live in a pet friendly home for your overnight needs. It would bring me great joy to take care of your pets!

Fernanda is the best dog walker! She treats our dog like she’s her own and is very communicative with us when she has Piper. We get plenty of pictures and updates while they’re together. She took the time to come meet Piper before she started walking her which put us at ease to see how they interacted together so well before walks! 10/10 would recommend
Alicia is a fantastic dog walker and human being. Alicia came over first to meet our doggies and asked good questions and was very loving towards both of our dogs (one of whom barks a lot). When we were away and the dogs were at my in-laws, Alicia communicated beautifully with them and most importantly, was very prompt and consistent each day. It can be hard to win them over and Alicia did so with flying colors. We most definitely will ask Alicia to take care of our pups again in the future. Thank you so much, Alicia, for a job well done!
I highly recommend Sophia! She's reliable and responsible. Her energy is gentle and positive. My girl, who has horrible separation anxiety, is slow to trust usually, but never looked back when Sophia offered a walk. It is a huge comfort to have someone as trustworthy as Sophia.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Reading on Rover is $22.2 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 10,557 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Reading. 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 Reading. 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 Reading.

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 Reading. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
