“Micaya deserves more than five stars. She was gentle, patient, and attentive to detail with Charlie. My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking. Micaya is Amazing she shared pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and was on time for scheduled walks. Micaya, you are loving and caring of our Fur family members.”

About: I've had pets pretty much of all of my life. Starting with a dog and a cat, and eventually a turtle, rats, a hamster, chinchillas, a bearded dragon, chickens, ducks, goats, and pigs. Animals have been and will always be a special part of my life that I cannot do without! I am happy to provide your special family members with personalized care while you are away! I have 7 years of veterinary technician experience trained in Fear Free techniques. I can give oral and injectable medications, and am able to perform basic CPR measures. (P.S. I am also available for farm sitting services at an additional rate!) I also am happy to provide basic house sitting services such as watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out the trash etc for no extra cost! I am a stay at home mom that owns a farm and a business, but have availability for drop in visits up to 3x per day if needed. I put the animals first and always make sure they will not go without the care they need. I follow all instructions from clients and make sure all animals and your home are treated with respect and care, just like I would expect from any sitters I'd hire. I am also happy to water indoor plants, bring in your mail, and remove any trash or messes that myself or your pet leaves, so that you can come home to a happy animal and a clean house.

About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!

“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”

About: I have taken care of pets since high school. I have 3 children and my amazing mini golden doodle who loves to cuddle. I am a very sweet and reliable person! I make sure your furry one is well taken care of while you are away. I’m very good at sending pictures and communicating to reinsure your pet is well taken care of. I work from home so I have flexibility to walk dogs or if you need me to let feed a pet or let it out and play. I currently have a golden doodle. Previously, I had a pitbull mix and a laberdoodle. So, I experience with all sizes. I have also had 2 dachshunds in the past before I moved to Maryland.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.

“We are so happy to have found Alexis for the weekend. She was very responsive and professional. She gave us peace of mind by keeping us updated with pictures of their walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ridge is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $24 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 257 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ridge. 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 Ridge. 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 , 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 Ridge 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridge. On Rover:

  • 91% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
