“We’ve had such a great experience with Sydney! Bruno can be shy and unsure around new people, but he warmed up right away, which is not easy for him. I always receive updates and details from each walk, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays attention to his needs. I’m so grateful to have found someone Bruno trusts!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and have had neighbors and family members rely on me to take care of their fur babies since I was a child! I've owned all types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I absolutely love spending as much time around fur babies as much as possible. I live a very active lifestyle so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and make sure they can get their energy out. I'm currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule so I can find time to take your fur babies for walks during the day or drop in when needed! I currently have two dogs in a fenced in yard. We live right by trails where being active is a must. I understand the importance of keeping dogs stimulated physically and mentally.
“I had my grandsons German shepherd pup, so I needed someone who could handle a large dog. Jeff proved to be an exceptional choice! He was prompt, professional and caring! Even on days where rain and loose dogs were a challenge . I highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a small child. Many people have called me the Animal Whisperer because the connection I have with animals and many experiences with animals in my lifetime. Our family of three children has owned many dogs and cats giving me experience with pets of different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own. I’m a retired IT professional with over 45 years of customer service experience, which gives me the flexibility to work around your pet’s schedule and not the other way around. I’m dependable, punctual, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. In my free time, I love pickleball, walking, hiking, biking, whitewater rafting, music DJ, and volunteering in my community. An active lifestyle makes me a great companion for energetic pets, while my calm, patient nature helps shy or senior pets feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I’ll provide the attention, affection, and reliable care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), walks, litter box or yard cleanup, and playtime. I also understand that many pets simply enjoy companionship, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Throughout each visit or stay, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve pet sat for my neighbors and family members for a few years. I used to pet sit for my aunt a lot and I loved it but she moved away, so I can’t pet sit for her anymore. I had so much fun, and I love spending time and caring for every animal. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets, and watching over them for you! I’m currently unemployed and have plenty of free time to check in and care for your pets. Im free the whole 7 days of the week :) I have 5 furry babies myself, 2 big dog fenced in the backyard and 3 kitties in the house, I also have 3 hermit crabs that I take care of. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of pets even a pig :)
“great communication & really appreciated her coming to meet my dog before their walk because she tends to be shy with strangers. definitely will be using Chloe again to take care of my babies!”
“Justin has been walking by pup three days per week for a couple of months now. He has been very dependable and has communicated well. I recommend him for your dog walking needs.”
About: I’m a passionate animal lover who understands that pets are family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry best friend, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also a proud dog parent to my dachshund, Reese, who brings so much joy to my life! Having a pup of my own has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention our four-legged family members deserve. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! ❤️ I work flexible hours as an administrative assistant for a small family business, so I can easily adjust my schedule to you & your pet’s needs! I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s usual routine, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or extra cuddle time. My goal is to make every visit feel familiar, comfortable, and secure. Before I book a sitting, I take plenty of time to discuss your pet’s personality, unique needs, routines, and any special instructions to establish trust and ensure a safe environment for your pets. I am careful to use leashes and harnesses on walks, secure all gates and doors, keep up with exercise and medication routines, and remain mindful of their surroundings. I believe communication is just as important as care, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos to help you feel at ease while you’re away!
About: I grew up in a family that loved animals and I had both cats and dogs all my life. I treat animals the same way I treat any member of my family: with love and care I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can walk and feed your pets strictly according to their schedule. My free time is enough so that your pet is not deprived of attention. I don't have any animals at home at the moment. Therefore, all the love of our family will be directed towards your pet. There is a place for walking dogs in the courtyard of our house. I have dog toys at home so your pet won't feel lonely with us. Since everyone has their own diet, you bring food for your four-legged friend
“Let me start by saying that Conner was a God-send! The day before going out of town for 4 days, we were left scrambling to find someone to walk our pup a few times while away. I reached out to Conner, literally in the dead of night. He responded the next day and was open to helping however he could. Before walking our pup for the first time, we hopped on a quick phone call, he asked questions, made note of what to expect and went on his way. Conner kept me updated, sent pictures, messaged me any little things that I might like to know, and was all around great. While I stumbled upon Conner due to an emergency, I will certainly be booking him again. (And you should too! 😉)”
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.
About: I have 10 years of pet care experience. I am well versed with dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I can handle large dogs and still cuddle with the little dogs. I get to care for my friends fur babies and I am grateful for every moment. I have experience with seniors and puppies (or kittens!) and can handle pretty much any situation. I am also able to administer medications if needed. I am currently working at a carriage barn 5 days a week. However, my hours are very flexible there so I can fit your pet into my week with no problems. I am also available weekends! I prefer not to board at my home, just to help keep the peace within my own animals and to not cause unneeded stress on your fur baby. I can do up to 3 visits a day, preferably nothing exceeding an hour unless necessary. I will watch over pet like it is my own. That being said, I will abide by any rules you may set for your animals. I will walk them, play with them, and love on them.
“Arrell is great! I booked him last minute day of appt when I was sick to take my dog for a walk. He was able to fit me into his day and take a weight off my shoulders. He showed up on time and was friendly. Highly recommend him for your pup!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Riverview is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
I am a very anxious dog parent. I felt so safe leaving my girl in Christine's care. Our meet and greet was thorough and it was obvious that she has really good dog energy. She did a wonderful job taking care of Liza, and I loved the very detailed Rover card and cute pictures. Liza got a long walk on the greenway and was so much calmer and happier when I got home from work than she normally is. I will absolutely be booking Christine again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Riverview is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 4,807 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riverview. 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 Riverview. 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 Riverview 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 Riverview. On Rover:
- 88% 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 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.
