About: I'm recently retired and I have a long history of taking care of cats and dogs. I presently have a cat named Ria that I adopted her about 5 years ago and she's wonderful. I truly go above and beyond for this cat. I mention my cat because I needed drop-in visits for her when I was working or traveling and my concerns were that she was safe, she got a little playtime, and the pet sitter paid serious attention to my requested care for her. I'm more than reliable and your pet will have clean water, fresh food (following your guidelines), and should be tired from playing by the time I leave. This is my most enjoyable part-time job I've ever had... I'm recently retired and Pet Care services is my only part-time job now. I do my best to keep my property looking nice, keep my house clean, and I do most of my own home repairs and remodeling. Having said that, I have a sufficient amount of free time to provide part-time Pet Care. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I've been dedicated to taking care of my present cat and I worry about what she experienced before I adopted her. When I have to go somewhere I reassure her that I'll be back soon and I'll never abandoned her. She's an indoor cat; she has 4 different padded beds throughout the house and access to all rooms. I feel sincere gratitude when I make a 4-legged friend happy.

About: I have had dogs for my whole life and so I know that it takes to care for them. I work at a dog boarding facility at the moment and so I also have experience in a professional setting. I am currently working part time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pups! When I’m not at work I’m at the gym or at home! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your pups to play. I have a bernedoodle who is very sweet and loves to play with other dogs. I take Knawi to the dog park a lot and also on many walks, which I’m happy to bring your puppy as well.

About: I've had a dog every year of my life until last year. I've raised puppies and then watched them grow old and had to say goodbye. I loved every minute, but cant say goodbye again. I do take care of my kids dogs. We are blessed to have a little Frenchie and a Bernese to care for from time to time.I am retired since September, and cant think of a better way to spend my time than playing with and caring for Pups! I am recently retired and no longer have a dog of my own as she passed last Christmas. Finding myself with alot of extra time, I know that caring for Pups would be a happy solution. As we no longer have a dog of our own, we do keep our kids dogs alot. We have a huge yard and stay with the dogs when they are outside. One is a Frenchie and the other a Bernese.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.

About: I’ve taken care or both cats and dogs for 14 years since I was 5. I’ve learned pets body language over the years and know just want they need . I have free time during the week to stay with your pets for a few hours and over the weekends I have can stay overnight to look after them. I will stay where I can see them when I am over and if they need their space I will allow them that but they are always monitored and if they go silent I will check on them constantly.

About: Growing up an animal lover my whole life, that passion has led me to hobbies and a career. It started with volunteering at my local animal shelter, to kennel attendant, to animal care technician at the University of Pittsburgh, Labcorp, and Penn State's College of Medicine. I have personal and professional experience with both cats and dogs (and also rabbits, rats, ferrets, hamsters, and guniea pigs if you have a little one!) I know how to give medicine (oral, topical and injections), properly feed, play, socialize and keep healthy! To me, I treat my pets and animals that I’ve worked with like people and give them all the love, care and attention that they need and deserve! I hope I can give the same amount of love, safety and assurance to your pets while you can’t be there! I am currently available for all days/hours and any service needed, from house & pet sitting to just a one time walk, and always open to any kind of pet! I have 4 cat children of my own at home and they are so spoiled and loved, my one cat doesn't like when he's separated from me! It's definitely "their" house but they know I'm their mother! I'm hoping to be able to spoil your pets in their own home, where they feel more safe and comfortable.

About: Professional dog trainer, not just a sitter – I understand canine behavior, body language, and how to manage dogs safely and confidently. Behavior-aware care – I proactively manage jumping, pulling, barking, and over-arousal instead of ignoring it. As a professional dog trainer, my schedule already revolves around dogs. Pet care is a priority in my day, allowing me to provide structured routines, supervised activity, and mental enrichment. Dogs in my care are integrated into my daily routine and receive consistent attention, not just drop-in care. I I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their own. In my home, dogs follow a consistent routine that includes scheduled feedings, frequent potty breaks, walks, enrichment, play, and calm rest time. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure safety and individual attention, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I focus on calm handling, safety, and clear communication, and I always leave the home clean and respected. As a professional dog trainer, I naturally reinforce good manners and basic obedience during care while prioritizing your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners feel confident and connected

About: Greetings. (services available in 🇳🇱 NL + USA) I enjoy caring for all types of creatures! I'll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally relaxed while you're away. I typically care for cats/dogs in my home but I am also open to house sitting within reasonable distances. Send a quick message if you have any questions. I work full time, however it's remote from home and I set my own break schedule. So I'll have plenty of spare time to walk, groom and play with the 🐕 I'm in a condo that allows pets and am on the ground floor so it's easy to take multiple breaks for a walk or run. Medicine wise, I have given pills and insulin injections to animals I have watched and not got scratched.

About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

FAQs for Dog Walking - River View

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across River View. 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 River View. 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 River View 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 River View. 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.
