Kelly was great with our three dogs, a mix of very young, middle age, and old. They liked her immediately and responded well to all her interactions. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her without hesitation.

About: I've been walking and caring for pets since I moved to Seattle three years ago. I've worked with a large, reactive, special needs american bully, a grumpy senior chihuahua, a springy ESS, an affectionate elderly bunny, and an adorably high strung chiweenie (all of which quickly became best friends). I also have my own kitty who loves outdoor adventures and interrupting a puzzle. I'm currently working on researching and practicing training techniques in preparation for a dog of my own. Excited to meet your friend!! I currently have open availability and can flex my schedule around your convenience whether that be a small check in or a week long vacation! I have a fenced back yard and live with two tiny dogs who love friends! I have a kitty of my own who is curious and reserved around dogs and is obsessed with befriending other cats. All house pets have lived with other animals from a young age and thrive with other furry friends. Happy to help with crate training if that's on your agenda. I have plenty of toys and live a short walk away from a lively park with lots of running room.

Madison was amazing with checking in and taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a week! She was attentive and even took time to clean up any accidents and dispose of the trash outside of the house! She gave tons of pics and detailed updates everyday which was so appreciated. Will definitely book her again when needed!

About: I offer pet sitting Monday through Friday from 6am-4pm (I can be flexible on the hours), as well as over night stays and weekend stays, and dog walking. I am comfortable around all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I do prefer long term care (I will watch your pet same hours weekly) but am also open to one time care as well. I have a large fenced in back yard, a great neighborhood for walking and I will also allow the pets to stay inside as well. I do have a 4 year old who will be home during the summer but will be in school starting August but he is very good with animals. I look forward to hearing from you.

About: Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. From playful puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra TLC, I’ve had the joy of looking after animals of all ages and sizes. My experience includes daily drop-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also skilled at giving medications and following special instructions to keep pets happy and healthy. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family—making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, or just keeping their routine consistent, I go the extra mile to ensure peace of mind for both pets and their people. currently work part-time cleaning houses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to add in pet sitting jobs throughout the day, whether it’s quick drop-ins, walks, or longer visits. I enjoy balancing my cleaning work with caring for pets, and the flexibility allows me to be reliable and available when families need me.” I don’t offer in my home care at this time that may change in the near future but not at the moment. Thank you. Though

Sent tons of pictures which was much appreciated, very communicative and definitely made me feel at ease about my puppy! He’s so high energy and is always super crazy but he was tired when I got home after their walk/ play time! 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be booking with her again. I’ve had such terrible experiences with two other rover’s before so this was a very nice and pleasant change of pace. She definitely goes above and beyond and obviously genuinely cares so much about the dogs she takes care of.

About: I've been a dog and cat lover ever since I can remember. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, so when I was old enough I would volunteer at shelters and at the local veterinary clinic every chance I got. Family members and friends of my family would have me watch their dog or cat every now and then and I'd always go above and beyond for them! I'm currently not working so I will be home most of the time during the week. My 12 year old daughter is very active in taking care of our puppy, Lucie, so I'm certain she would be a helping hand in taking care of any other pets that come into our home for care. I have a huge fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pups to run some energy off in, decorated with more than a dozen toys, sticks and tennis balls to keep them occupied for hours on end. I am also experienced with kennels as well, but I do not currently have any at my house so that would have to be provided by you if that's what you prefer. I have lots of experience with animals that have separation anxiety, too. Also, I do have a female chestnut colored Labrador retriever who is just under a year old and still very much has that puppy mentality and is extremely energetic.

About: Hi, I’m Anna 🖤 I’m a calm, dependable pet sitter providing structured, low-stress care for dogs and cats throughout Ashville, Gadsden, Rainbow City, Southside, and nearby areas. I specialize in caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, special-needs pets, multi-pet households, and dogs who thrive with routine, patience, and clear expectations. Whether your pet needs relaxing companionship, playtime and exercise, medication support, or consistent daily routines, I focus on making every visit feel safe, comfortable, and personalized to their needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your pets and home. My goal is always the same: dependable communication, reliable care, photo updates, and a calm environment where your pet feels emotionally secure while you’re away. I have experience with: • Puppies and potty training routines • Senior dog care • Oral and injected medications • Reactive or anxious dogs • Structured feeding schedules • Multi-pet households • High-energy dogs needing exercise • Calm companionship for shy pets • Crate-trained and routine-based care • Drop-ins, walks, boarding, daycare, and overnight care One of my own dogs, Velma, has been raised using calm, consistent structure both at home and in public settings. That experience taught me how much dogs benefit from patience, fairness, routine, and clear boundaries. I bring that same balanced energy into every pet care visit. Safety is extremely important to me. I use leashes or secure harnesses during outdoor time, monitor pet interactions carefully, maintain clean feeding routines, and follow household instructions closely to help keep pets safe and stress-free. A typical visit may include: • Walks or exercise • Potty breaks • Fresh food and water • Medication administration if needed • Playtime and enrichment • Calm companionship • Safety checks • Photo and Rover Card updates I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routines, so I tailor care to fit what helps them feel happiest and most secure. I also understand that communication matters. I respond quickly, provide regular updates, and do my best to make owners feel fully informed and comfortable throughout the booking process. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets 🖤 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family. Availability I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week 🖤 My goal is to provide dependable, calm, and structured care that helps dogs feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Preferred scheduling hours: Morning Visits: 8 AM–11 AM Midday Visits: 11 AM–2 PM Afternoon Visits: 2 PM–5 PM Evening Visits: 5 PM–7 PM I’m experienced with: • Puppies and structured potty routines • Senior dogs • Multi-dog households • Medication schedules • High-energy dogs needing exercise • Anxious or routine-based dogs needing calm, patient care During drop-in visits and walks, I focus on safety, communication, routine, and personalized attention. Owners can expect reliable updates, photos, and attentive care during every visit so they feel informed and confident while away from their pets 🖤 Your dog’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities 🖤 I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home, so I focus heavily on dependable communication, calm handling, and maintaining a clean, structured environment during every visit. I believe dogs thrive best with patience, consistency, routine, and clear boundaries. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, comfort needs, and daily routine so care feels as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. Safety practices include: • Secure leash and harness handling • Careful monitoring during walks and outdoor time • Slow introductions and supervised interactions • Clean feeding and water routines • Close attention to medications and instructions • Monitoring behavior, appetite, mood, and energy levels • Maintaining locked doors, gates, and household safety routines I’m especially mindful of anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and pets who need extra patience or structure. Some dogs need energetic play and exercise, while others simply need calm companionship and reassurance. I tailor care to what helps your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I also know that communication builds trust. Owners can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each booking so you always feel informed and connected while away from your pet. My goal is simple: to create a calm, reliable, and loving environment where dogs feel secure and owners feel complete peace of mind 🖤

FAQs for Dog Walking - Riverside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Riverside on Rover is $13.88 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 548 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riverside. 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 Riverside. 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 Riverside.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Riverside. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
