Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.

About: My 3 years experience house sitting for multiple types of animals and birds, along with 5 years of dog grooming experience, put me in a position to help you with your animals while you are away. Additionally, 2 years supporting a traveling nail clipping business (different types of animals) gives me the experience of helping with stressed pets. Currently I work part-time with animals and attend school locally, so I can spend time with your pets during the weekday. My availability is limited on the weekends. Animals in my care will not leave the house without a leash/leadline (smaller animals in carriers). Please contact me with your pets security concerns and we can work through them to find what works best for you and your fur babies.

About: I make sure they’re taken care of properly just like the owner wants. I’m all around an animal lover. I enjoy the walks, playing, and bonding. Availability is whenever. I love teaching dogs tricks! I like setting goals for myself and animals. I like making them feel loved. Giving them the attention and care that they need. I will do anything for anyone. I love helping others. If your animal needs special care then that’s what they will get. I will give them the best care that you ask for. I have a year old puppy that loves attention. He would love a playmate as well. We have had him since he was a month old and he’s been potty trained since about 2 weeks after we had picked him up.

I recently hired Kerry as a dog walker for my Evan, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Kerry is incredibly reliable and professional. She also provides regular updates and is very communicative, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)

About: Dog sitting and dog walking has always been something that I have loved. Taking care of our four legged fur babies is the best feeling. I have animals of my own so taking care of different animals daily is something that will easily fit into my daily and weekly routines. I have two cats and one dog. I take my dog for a walk about three times a week and I always spend time with my cats and dog.

About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).

About: I have house and dog sat for 6 years. I have also handled cats. I have handled anywhere from puppies to senior dogs and love to take them on walks! I work full time during the school year as a pediatric COTA but part time over the summer. My schedule varies but I am available for the most part! I just moved into my own home but I grew up with cats and have had a dog for 10 years. Feeding them and making sure running water was available was my number one priority!

About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: A little about me! I have been dog sitting for over four years and truly enjoy caring for animals. My professional background includes working with children through the Boys & Girls Club of America in both after-school and summer programs, as well as working in senior assisted living communities, where I currently work full-time. I also earned my esthetician license, but I continue working in assisted living because I love building relationships and caring for others. Outside of my full-time career, pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always been an animal lover and have a soft spot for both dogs and cats, which I could never choose a favorite! I currently provide pet care for friends, family, coworkers, and referrals through mutual connections. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you’re away. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can also expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates while you’re away. I believe staying connected with your pet brings peace of mind and helps you enjoy your time away worry free!! I currently work everyday until 2 pm except Wednesdays and Fridays I am off and work every other weekend. However I still am available everyday for house sitting. I never leave the animals longer than 8 hours! I strive to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. Feeding times are scheduled according to your preferences, though there may occasionally be slight adjustments based on my work schedule. I make it a priority to keep pets active, engaged, and happy through playtime, walks, and other activities. My goal is to provide a comfortable, familiar environment that helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my routine. From a young age, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I carry that same level of attention and care into every pet I look after today. Right now, I have open availability to pet sit whenever I am needed and when my availability changes, I will change it on here immediately! I offer in-home pet sitting at my client’s house, which helps pets stay relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. This setup allows me to provide consistent care while respecting each pet’s routine and needs.

About: I cared for a wonderful Pomeranian for 17 years, giving me extensive experience with small breeds and senior dogs. For the past two years, I’ve also been dog sitting a friend’s Maltipoo, who stays with me for extended periods. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for any pet, their needs are always my top priority. I’m home often, which means every pet in my care receives plenty of loving attention, along with frequent bathroom breaks and walks throughout the day. Your pet will always feel cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Every pet receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their needs so they feel happy and secure while in my care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rochester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 709 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rochester. 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 Rochester. 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 Rochester.

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 Rochester. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
