Karla has been a Godsend! One of my dogs is very difficult and she has him so well behaved. I don't knows what we would've done if we hadn't found her. It would've required renting a car and taking the doggies with us. Karla the best thing that's happened for us. 5 out of 5 for sure!

I can’t thank Joshua enough for the wonderful care he’s given Melvin. He’s been incredibly patient and understanding with my pup, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog walker!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, including family pets and those of friends, for the last 10 years. I now have two pups of my own! :) Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, administer medication to, and otherwise care for their dogs for many years. I love spending time with all the fluffy friends! I work from home and am generally flexible with my schedule! Just let me know, and we can find something that works for all of us. I have a fenced yard and my friendly own dogs can keep your fur babies company. We can also separate them completely if you prefer. We have two sides of the house with separate entrances to the backyard.

About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.

About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.

About: Animals have been a joyful part of my life for over 30 years. I’ve cared for many kinds of pets, but most importantly dogs and cats. Over the years I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, volunteered with animal rescues, and worked for a local veterinarian for a couple of years which I loved! I truly believe animals give us unconditional love, and caring for them brings me great happiness. I am dependable, trustworthy, and prompt, and I will take great pride in caring for your pets with the same attention, patience, and kindness that I give my own. When you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and treated like family. Pet care, for me, is part of my daily life at home! I will look forward to taking care of your fur family members with great care when you’re away. I currently have two awesome dogs named Rue and Liz and 1 turtle named Pearl. Animals are a part of who I am! I care for my pets as if they were my children. My dogs are inside most of the time with plenty of backyard fun including, playing fetch, frisbee, bath time, which they love, and walks around the neighborhood. My cat Spencer passed away at 21yrs old recently; he was the heart of our fur family and he knew it! Towards his later days he required daily medication and with extra love and care he spent his final days peacefully at home. He was dearly loved and yours will be also. You can trust that when I’m at your home your feline or pup will be cared for as if they were my own!

Bethany and Aaron did a great job. Our dogs love them both. They communicate regularly and even send pictures. This is the second time we have used them and we are sure our pups are well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.

Peyton has been great with my dog who struggles with aggressive greetings towards people and other dogs. She is very responsive, understands dog behavior, and is always on time. I’m relieved to have someone I can rely on for when I need to travel.

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

I couldn’t be happier with the dog walking service! He was fantastic with my husky and schnauzer, always on time and full of energy. He sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—everything from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Chihuahuas and Great Danes. I’ve administered medicine, handled special feeding routines, and taken care of elderly animals with extra needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends, neighbors, and multiple households over the years. I currently live with cats I care for full-time, and I’m happy to help with additional tasks like watering plants, taking out litter, or feeding fish. I’m great at following specific instructions and keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently between jobs and going back to school in the fall, which means I have full availability all summer long. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet-sitting needs—whether that’s regular check-ins, overnights, or last-minute help. I live locally in Mulberry and often help out at my family’s pharmacy, but otherwise my time is yours! I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I always follow the pet’s routine to keep things consistent—mealtimes, walks, medications, and even preferred toys or napping spots. I’m respectful of the client’s space and clear about communication, sending regular updates and checking in if anything seems off. I make sure pets feel safe by being patient, affectionate, and attentive to their needs—whether that’s quiet time for a nervous cat or extra play for an energetic pup. Trust is everything, and I take that seriously from day one.

Bradley is a gem! He accepted my request at the last minute after two other walkers cancelled. Juliet loves him. She comes home tired and happy. He even managed to get my other dog out the door for a potty (Owen is a mama's boy and only goes out for me). Super pleased and very grateful for the professionalism.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over five years now. My family and friends rely on me when they go out of town or call me when they need advice on how to care for their pets :) I work fives days a week Monday-Friday 5a-1:30p and I’m off on the weekends so that leaves plenty of time to spend relaxing around the house or running around the yard or whatever else they may fancy I live in a large house with a huge fenced in yard that all the doggies love! So there’s plenty of space for the furry friends to frolic and just be happy and play

FAQs for Dog Walking - Royster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 3,422 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Royster. 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 Royster. 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 Royster.

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 Royster. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
