About: Growing up, I was always around animals because my grandma had lots of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I would always go to her house to help take care of them and play with them. I also love meeting and spending time with my neighbors’ and friends’ animals. These experiences have taught me to patient, responsible, and caring for every pet. And I hope to build a friendship with yours pet as well!💜 I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time before and after class to care for your pets. I also love working out and taking walks at the park, and it came to mind that getting steps in is even better with a furry friend. 💜 Overall, for animals, I am available when needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’ll also make sure they have everything they need and keep their space clean and comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially dogs and cats, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’m new to pet sitting, but I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently started pet sitting as a side hustle while I work toward one of my biggest goals: saving for my own home. I’m excited to turn something I love into an opportunity to reach that goal while helping other pet owners feel comfortable. I work full-time as an Ultrasound Tech during the week, so I’m available for afternoon/evening walks and overnight stays. I have a very open and flexible schedule on weekends and can accommodate different times and care needs. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. For overnight stays, I’m happy to stay in the home so the pets can remain in their familiar environment rather than being stressed by a new place. For drop ins/walks , I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible and keep the owner updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pet is doing.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs big and small. I have some experience in senior dog care, because I had a dog from when she was a 1 years to 16 years old. Pet care is a big part of my routine since I work from home as a local artist, I am available on the weekdays and weekends. I treat every pet like a member of my family. I love taking them on walks, feeding them their meals, playing with their favorite toys, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. When pets stay in my home, I like to meet and greet them beforehand to help them feel comfortable with me and their new surroundings. Once I know they feel safe and settled, I welcome them with plenty of love, toys, cozy beds, and fresh water. If they’re staying for more than a couple of hours or overnight, I also provide food according to their owner’s instructions. I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos while they’re away, and I’m happy to arrange a FaceTime call so they can see and interact with their pets whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I like to meet them and their family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. During this visit, I go over feeding routines, litter box care, medications, emergency veterinary information, family or friends to contact, and any other special instructions for their beloved pets. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels secure and well looked after.

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Love to take them for walks and play time to get them out in the world. Currently not working set schedules, so I am available at all times to walk and care for your dog or puppies! Day or night, rain or shine! I am happy to play with the dogs at the owners home and take them on long walks. My place isn't set up for their care.

About: I have my own dog lily who is two years old and I just love dogs. I walk my dog 3 or more times per day and she is one of the happiest pups around. I will make sure your dog is taken care of just as well and he/she will feel just like they do with their owners! I am very friendly and I am home pretty often. I love all types of dogs and am not afraid to tackle any challenge that comes my way. I enjoy taking my dog on long walks around my lake in my backyard and throwing and playing fetch with her as well. A dogs happiness is just as important to me as a humans happiness should be.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me! I also have a puppy of my own, so I know firsthand just how much patience, love, and energy goes into raising one. From potty training and teaching basic commands to handling all that crazy puppy energy, I’m no stranger to the puppy stage! Being around animals my whole life has taught me that every pet has its own little personality, quirks, and needs. Whether your pet is full of energy, a little shy, or just wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to meet them where they're at. My goal is to make sure your pets feel just as comfortable, safe, and loved with me as they do with you! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Between having a puppy and a cat of my own, my days naturally revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets plenty of love and attention. I also have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to make time for pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so fitting a few extra furry friends into my routine is something I look forward to! Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a walk, or spending some quality time together. I always want pets to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their normal routines, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or their favorite spot for some cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I’m also mindful of respecting your home and making sure everything stays clean, safe, and just as you left it! Of course, you can expect plenty of pictures and updates so you know your furry family member is happy and in good hands!

About: I have worked with children and animals for as long as I can remember. Nothing gives me more joy than being able to spend my time sharing love and care with the ones who need it most. I worked as a nanny for over a decade while putting myself through school, earning a masters degree in psychology. Throughout that time, taking care of their pets was often part of my responsibility. When they went away, they knew their pets would have family still with them. I have lived with and around animals my whole life. I have owned both dogs and cats and can handle medication administration as needed. What sets me apart from other sitters is my professionalism. You are ensured consistency and reliability from beginning to end. From the first introduction, you will feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I put a lot of care, dedication, and energy into everything I do. Working with animals on a part-time basis allows me to focus the rest of my time on the projects I am passionate about. Since my schedule is entirely my own, I have a lot of flexibility and can work with you to meet your needs. I know just how scary it is to leave your pet with someone new. Because I have spent my life dedicated to caretaking, I have always expected the most from my personal pet sitters. I’m so happy to be able to pay that forward. You deserve to get some rest when you are away! That starts with open and responsive communication, reliability, and honesty. I approach this job the way I do anything…with hard work! I will love your pet like it’s my own, and am prepared to go the extra mile if any emergency should arise.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, between walking our family dog to neighbors and house sitting for cats and dogs. I have about 8 years in veterinary medicine working as a veterinary technician/ assistant. I love all breeds and seeing all different personalities. I have one dog of my own who is a small Chihuahua, Sophie and I did have a bangle cat named Maui. I am currently working part time in animal clinic Wednesdays - Friday. I will be able to take care of pets Saturday's- Tuesdays. If a pet parent is needed with help on the days I work, I will be able to try and make accommodations as I know how hard it can be to find someone willing and able to care for their fur baby. I have a fenced in yard, I am currently renting and need to remove boarding at the moment but am willing to stay at a pet parents house if needed

About: Hi! I have fostered for kittens ages from 1 week to 9 weeks. I have also volunteered at an animal sanctuary that had cats, dogs, and birds. I have two golden retrievers, one chihuahua, one sheltie, and three cats. I have experience in all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. I am currently enrolled as a full time college student but I love animals so I love to work and volunteer with them on the side. I have 2 very stubborn and sweet golden retrievers along with a chihuahua that can be snappy. When we make pets go outside of their comfort zone it can cause anxiety in behavior issues which I have dealt with. With all pets you have to know their personality and how to cooperate with them in a way that makes them comfortable.

I only do care in the client's home, and I follow the family's routine and instructions. I prefer not to interfere with established habits, to minimize stress on the animal. I have cared for different species of pets, played with them, walked them, fed them, cleaned after them and administered prescribed medication. Besides English, I also speak Spanish and Russian.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Riviera Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Riviera Beach is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 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 3,008 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riviera Beach. 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 Riviera Beach. 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 Riviera Beach 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 Riviera Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
