About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

About: Hello!! My name is Abby. I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate awaiting my first job in the health care field. I have grown up with a mixture of dogs in my life, have dog sat for years and recently have gotten my own dog Odie who is a Basset Hound. I love dogs and love caring for them. Currently, I am not working so I am very flexible in my availability! I can do morning, afternoon or evening walks. I can also help with breakfast or dinner or anything else you might need for your pet! I am very accommodating and can do pretty much anything you need for your dog. I am comfortable with crating, working on tricks, going on walks and whatever else they might need.

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I will be sure to send you detailed updates and photos. I have a 7-year-old blue Pitbull of my own, who has taught me so much about caring for and understanding dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent plenty of time caring for dogs of friends and family. Some of the different breeds I’ve taken care of are bichon frisé, English bulldog, black lab, chihuahua, miniature golden-doodle, labradoodle, dachshunds, beagles and many more! I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I know that every dog is unique, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pup happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can have the best experience possible. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a sitter. ❤️🐶 Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve rather than trying to fit them into a busy work schedule. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I understand that every pet and family has different needs, so I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule and make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to care for pets in their home, where they can stay in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. Before each stay, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure and will always be mindful of your pet’s safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a beloved member of your family. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: Hello!! I've had my own cat since 2017 and am an avid stray feeder (and occasional trapper). I also volunteer at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue at least 2 days a week, usually doing morning cat care (but sometimes you can find me there during open hours). I feed all of the cats, replace water, scoop litter boxes, clean up whatever I might find, and give medication when needed. I encounter all different types of personalities and customize my approach to each one. I've been volunteering there since October 2025. I've also been pet sitting personally to friends since I was a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of animals and building trust with them, especially the shy ones. Truly nothing makes me happier than scooping 20 litter boxes with cats all around me. I also regularly take care of my friend's dog who is a spunky and reactive, but very sweet, terrier mix. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to my own cat, so I will understand if you need consistent pictures or a FaceTime call to calm your nerves! I once drove home in a blizzard because I couldn't see my cat on my cameras (she was completely fine). I'm also working on getting my Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification as I believe in preventing as much fear, anxiety, and stress as possible in all pets. Furthermore, I don't believe in assigning spite or malice to any animals. They are all innocent creatures to me. <3 I'm currently only working part-time so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets!! I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc. One of the things I pride myself on is not only taking care of your pet like I would my own, but also your home. I'm a neat freak so I promise to leave it better than I found it! My least favorite part of taking a trip is coming home knowing my apartment would be a mess due to my cat sitter just not really caring. Not with me!

About: Having been a dog and cat owner for most of my life, I'm excited to be able to take the love and care that I've provided and share it with your fur baby. I work from home most days, so I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog or cat, including overnights. Feeding, walks, play time, cuddles, general attention. I just want to be your pets new best friend! I love dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I am good with pets that need medication (oral) and that are still being housebroken. Communication is important and my goal is to keep you as updated about your pet as you would like. It is my priority that you, your pet, and myself are safe and comfortable, so meet and greets before any booking are a must. Looking forward to become friends with your favorite animal. I work from home most days of the week, with meetings over Zoom and in person throughout the week. I'm usually not gone from home longer than a few hours at a time. This can be adjusted accordingly. Weekends are not a problem to be there for your animal as needed. When staying at a clients home it is my priority to respect the home owners space. Meeting prior to any overnights is a must to discuss details, learn how your pet behaves at home, and where they are comfortable being in the home. Communication between myself and the pet owner is very important.

About: Hello, My name is Danielle. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s). I have been walking dogs daily (mostly my own until now) for 15 years. I would love to drop by to say hi, give your fur family food, take them out into the world to catch some sun and smells, or even spend the night with them. Of course, I will most likely take that time to share my favorite films; starting with Homeward Bound. I would love to be able to help you and family have peace of mind knowing your are in the best of hands. I am very excited to get to know you and your fur family much better. Book with me and you will not be disappointed.

About: I have years of experience with large breed dogs, and now a standard poodle puppy of my own! My long haired chihuahua recently passed away at 15, so I have plenty of experience with small dogs. I love dogs, truly, and even the parts that aren’t great like my when my super senior chihuahua was still alive and needed extra care that comes with old age or cleaning up puppy messes. I’m experienced in dog medical issues, pill times, vet visits, surgeries, heart problems, and even the dog Heimlich maneuver. I work full time from 0600-2:30 pm usually, with weekends free. I’m available before work if you live close to me or my job by the RNO airport and I’m free after 4 pm. I have some flexibility the closer to me or my workplace you are! I do not have a yard at my apartment but there is a dog park on-site! Multiple walks a day, including my lunch for puppy time, if crating is needed please bring the crate with the dog as my chihuahua does not get crated and my puppy only crates at night. I do allow dogs on furniture, and if a large puppy or small dog breed of chihuahua makes you or your dog nervous for home stays, I am willing to do a meet-and-greet first. Once you meet my chihuahua his well-trained and gentle manner will speak for itself. My puppy is a sweetheart who is eager to please! I currently work full time Monday to Friday in an office environment. I’m home most weekends and spend my lunch with my puppy. I’m usually done with work around 3-4 pm I always ask if there is a yard and if it’s fenced. I like to know where leashes and bags are for walks too! Toys and treats, especially for kitties, are important!

“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”

About: Hi my name is Julia, I am 25 years old living in Pittsburgh, PA. For all 25 years I have lived, I have been surrounded by animals. I grew up with three dogs, who I care for deeply. We also had a neighborhood cat who I really consider a part of the family! I have spent countless time caring for the pets of family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even my hairdresser! I can confidently say that I have formed great bonds and a sense of trust with all pets I have watched! This care ranges from cats to dogs, senior to puppies (currently). I truly love animals and constantly want to be surrounded by them. Being a 25 year old in a city away from your family and pets can be tough, so I hope that this opportunity can help me while I await having my own cat one day (hopefully soon!) I currently work full-time, but I work primarily from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I typically go into the office just one day per week, and if I need to be there more often, it's usually only for a half day. My schedule can vary depending on work needs, but I have the flexibility to accommodate pet care throughout the day and will always communicate my availability clearly. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and keep their schedule as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of love. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I always prioritize a safe, stress-free environment. I also believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

Had a good experience with Flannery, I hired her for dog walking over a couple of days while my husband was out of town. Flannery was very patient with my two dogs and went on back to back walks with them so that they could each have some independent time. Flannery was very responsive and easy to work with, I would definitely work with her again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Reserve Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Reserve Township is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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 October 2026, there are 2,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Reserve Township. 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 Reserve Township. 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 Reserve Township 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 Reserve Township. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
