“Michelle was awesome. Communicated clearly with us so we knew when she was arriving. Our dogs loved her. Now they are tuckered out and napping after their great adventure with Michelle. Thanks for taking care of them. Would have given 10 stars if it was available!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, often pet sitting for friends, and family. I enjoy spending time with them, and getting to connect especially as I do not currently have pets of my own. I have a fairly open schedule, and am able to be quite accommodating even on short notice. Whether it be a walk in the neighborhood or a long term sit. I am able to recognize animals signals and respond to their needs easily depending on what they are. When I am with your pet, I will be completely present as I work remotely.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. My first was Jackson, a 150-pound Alaskan Malamute who knocked me over daily, so big, strong, high-energy dogs don’t intimidate me. Today I have three of my own, all friendly, loving, and good with other dogs, including Baxter, a 9-year-old who takes daily medication. Senior dog care and keeping to a medication schedule are part of my routine. I’m also a former Navy Hospital Corpsman and certified EMT. I’ve worked alongside military working dogs in Afghanistan, and I’ve administered IVs and handled emergencies under pressure. If your dog gets hurt or sick, I stay calm, act fast, and get them to a vet right away. Outside Rover, I regularly care for a lab puppy and a senior Shih Tzu on seizure medication, so I’m comfortable with puppy energy and with seniors who need extra attention and exact medication timing. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and an honest report on how your dog did. I treat every dog like family. I’m home all day, so your dog is never alone for long. Days include a morning walk, midday play and potty breaks, an afternoon walk, and plenty of downtime with me on the couch. Being here all day means I catch small changes fast, like a skipped meal or restlessness. I give my own senior dog his medication on schedule daily, so exact timing is routine. It’s a great fit for active dogs, puppies, and seniors who do best with company. I do a calm meet-and-greet first, so every dog is comfortable before a stay. At my place (boarding and day care): Your dog gets the run of a cozy, happy house with my three friendly pups, and we start with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels at home. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible: same food, same schedule, same medications. The backyard has a good-sized grass patch and a tall wooden fence, perfect for running, sniffing, and soaking up the sun. I love setting up sniff drills and treat puzzles for a happy, tired pup, and two parks within three blocks make walks easy and fun. At your place (drop-ins and walks): I follow your dog’s routine for meals, water, potty breaks, a walk, and plenty of play. Either way: You’ll get photos and a quick rundown of how your dog’s day went. I’m situationally aware and if anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away and get your dog to a vet if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety come first.

About: I am a reliable and energetic dog walker with a passion for pups. Your furry friend will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and personalized care. I also cat and dog sit, available to spend the night and stop by during work hours or work from home. I love sitting and petting a cat while watching a movie or taking a dog out on a spring lake adventure. I am available anytime on weekends and during the week starting after about 6 or 7 pm. A few days of advanced notice is preferred for overnight care, as I can arrange to stop by during work hours two times between 8 am -5 pm or to work from home. I can provide overnight care and pet sitting. I'll stay with your cat or pup, providing companionship and sticking to their normal schedule for a stress-free time.

About: Dogs are the best. I have extensive pet-sitting experience, always had a dog growing up, and now have a pup of my own! My dog is super friendly, so as long as your dog would be ok with it, we’d love to have them stay with us! I'm extremely comfortable around animals and love to treat them with the best care possible. I'm happy to help however I can, whether it be walking, running, playing fetch, feeding, petting, etc. Your dog is in great hands! My partner and I work from home and our schedules are very flexible. We can be very accommodating to whatever your fur baby needs throughout the day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup of my own (she’s played a lot with other dogs at the dog park, at our house and friends houses, etc, and always gets along great!). I can also have a separate set up for your dog as needed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I also grew up raising chickens and quail. I have 1 dog/cat loving dog named Rupert and 1 cat named Panda. I’m a registered nurse during the week, so I’m very comfortable administering medications and injections. I’ve previously house-sat for a diabetic dog and have experience providing attentive care for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I have a special place in my heart for rescue animals and have dedicated a lot of time to training my own dog, Rupert. I’m committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and high-quality care—and I look forward to treating your pets like part of my own family. I work full-time as an RN, with three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me two weekdays off and every weekend free. I spend a lot of my time walking my dog, Rupert, and if your pup is friendly, I’d love to include them for walks and positive socialization. If your dog prefers their own space, that’s absolutely fine too. I’m just as committed to providing calm, one-on-one attention and have plenty of experience caring for dogs who aren’t especially social. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, dog- and cat-social dog at home. My cat is comfortable around dogs, though he can be a bit selective with new cats. Pets are welcome on the furniture and even the bed—this is a home-away-from-home environment. If your pup prefers their own space, that’s no problem at all. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and plenty of room for a crate if that’s what they’re used to. I’ve dedicated a lot of time to training my current dog, Rupert, and I’ve only ever owned rescue animals, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to feel safe and thrive. For walks, I always come prepared with freeze-dried treats to reinforce positive behavior and make the experience fun and rewarding.

About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, and horses since I was a young kid. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian and attended a University in California with that goal in mind. As much as I enjoyed the Animal Science courses and internships in the Radiology Department, I decided working with kids was more my thing! But I still have a deep love of animals :) I have worked with elderly dogs who need either oral medication or shots, dogs that are blind and need special care navigating the house, to active pups who love to go on morning runs! I am a dog lover and haven't gone a year without having a pet as part of the family. Pets are family and I believe they deserve the best care while their loved ones are away. Let me spend that time with your special pup and we will have many adventures!

About: Animal caretaker at horse ranches, farms, and house pets with a lifetime of experience. Horse mom and dog mom to a very sweet 9 yr old Rottie-Shepard named Leif. Self-employed, so I spend all my time with my own pup. He loves playing with other dogs, so we want to host some furry friends! We live on 1/2 acre with a deck for napping on and a nice yard full of sticks and tennis balls. Several big dog beds. Right next to walking trail. Potty breaks can be on leash, on tie out, or off leash with supervision depending on owner preference. Have medium and XL crates available for use, but bring what makes your dog comfortable. All good dogs with parent permission that are allowed car rides may get dog park trips, easy hikes, or beach days depending on our schedule and the weather. Puppies and senior dogs welcome. I understand complex feeding schedules and medication and am happy to stick to your routine. Photo and video updates daily. Your dog will be tired and happy when you get home! I’m a self-employed, part-time remote work from home weekday mornings and local gigging musician on weekends, gone for around to 3-4 hours. Wifi camera set up with access on my phone, with microphone and speaker. My yard is mostly fenced, except for the front of the driveway. I live on the back part of 1/2 acre that is fenced. Dogs will be supervised for potty breaks, on leash or off depending on owner preference and behavior. Can also supervise on tie out for potty-shy dogs. Play on the yard and between dogs is supervised with walks on bike trail and adventures to nearby parks when allowed.

About: I've owned at least one pet consistently since I was 5 years old. I was a pre-vet major when I started college, have worked in veterinary offices, volunteered at the humane society and have been pet sitting for years. I absolutely adore animals and love having them around. I work full time from home and share custody of my son and my dog who are with me (about) every other week. Both my dog and my son love animals are are very friendly, kinda and loving to all pets and they both love to play with other dogs! I have a cat at home as well who is dog friendly and sometimes plays with my dog or will hide when not in the mood. Pet care is a daily routine for me. We'd love for your furry friend to join our walks and home for lots of fun and play while you're away! I take great pride in learning what makes your pets the most comfortable while you're away. If you prefer me to stay in your home that is of course the least stressful for your furbaby. If you prefer I host your furbaby(s) at my home, my cat and dog (depending on the time you book) will keep them company and have lots of play time and snuggles! I have a small fenced yard but nearby dog parks and homemade treats! Because I work from home dogs are given daily walks and several opportunities to go to the bathroom outside. If a dog goes to the bathroom in the house repeatedly, a $150 cleaning fee will be added to your booking. I make every effort to work with you and the dog to prevent this but if it continues the fee will be added to your stay.

“Andrea is an amazing dog walker! She walked my big and strong pittie/boxer four days in a row while I was on vacation. She took my pup on varied routes and made sure she got back to my mom’s house super tired! She was flexible, very nice, very communicative, and gave me updates on her walking route and how my girl did. In short, she’s the best and I’m so glad I found her! Thanks so much Andrea!”

Sebastian did a great job today (August 28, 2026) after I gave him very last-minute notice (I asked if he could walk them the night before the walk), and he agreed to walk our two dogs. Thanks Sebastian! Great communication, sent me a photo, and filled out the "Rover card" so that I could see the route the dogs took, it also automatically calculated the number of minutes of the walk. Great service! I highly recommend Sebastian if you need your dogs cared for!

Five stars for Berenice! She was wonderful from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and was kind enough to accept my last-minute walk request. This was actually the first walk I’ve ever booked for my dogs, and I booked it as a little birthday present to myself. Their happiness genuinely makes me happy, so knowing they were in good hands and getting to enjoy a great walk made my day even better. Berenice made me feel completely comfortable with the whole experience and handled everything wonderfully. I’m so glad she was our first Rover walker. She’s awesome, and I would absolutely book with her again!

Cecilia is wonderful! Two of our dogs are slow to warm up to new people and can be anxious and reactive to strangers, wildlife, fast cars, slow cars, and lots of other normal/scary things one encounters frequently on a walk. Oh and they also randomly stop some days and just don’t want to go very far, and they’re wimps in the rain. Cecilia has been patient, creative, and confident and we notice they’re even walking less anxious about all those things with us now :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Roseland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Roseland is $29 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $52 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 1,342 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Roseland. 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 Roseland. 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 Roseland 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 Roseland. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
