“Kevin is awesome. My beagle PENNY absolutely loves him. I know she is safe with him. My dog has the reactive beagle personality, with Kevin walking her I have no worries! I’ve just moved here and being brand new to this part of the country, I am so relieved that I was able to find Kevin for my dog Walker. He keeps me informed with every walk, great photos & 100% Dependable and a Super Nice Guy!!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine—giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles, small mammals, birds, and aquatics. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has me excited to open my schedule for caregiving. With my vet background and a passion for compassionate care, I provide a loving, low-stress experience tailored to each pet’s needs. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to offer plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and enrichment. I prioritize meet-and-greets (completely free!) to ensure we’re a great match for you and your pet before any booking. Whether your dog needs medication support, post-surgery monitoring, or just lots of cuddles and fun, I’d love to care for them like family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I work from home, therefore I am free 24-7 to help take care of your animals and help meet your needs while they are in my care. As of now- we only own cats. We recently lost our dog to cancer. I believe animals thrive best in a structured environment. We keep a consistent schedule for our pets, feeding, play time and whatnot. I do ask that your pet is friendly with children.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Growing up we were a multiple dog and cat family at all times. This is why I understand the care and attention pets need while their owners are away. I have a full time job, however I am very flexible on my work day hours so scheduling for drop-in visits or walks Monday-Thursday will be no problem. I am off Friday-Sunday, so my weekends are even more flexible for the care visits I can provide. For drop-in visits I will arrive at the scheduled time every time. My routine can vary based on client requests, however I typically prefer to let the pet out for a bathroom break first thing. After that, I will ensure food and water are refreshed as needed for the scheduled feeding times. I typically like to allow the pet to run around outside or take them on a walk to get them up and moving during my visit. Before the visit ends, I like to ensure they get another opportunity to use the bathroom before bringing them back inside.

Kevin provides happy walks for our rambunctious Beagle, who loves him and is so excited when he comes for her! I know she is in the best of hands when he is walking her. Super nice and extremely dependable, lucky to have him!

Erin has been amazing with Gabbie! She took the time to stop by and familiarize herself with her and made her feel comfortable. Additionally, my requests to walk Gabbie were very last minute and she took no issue with that and communicated in a timely manner. If you need your pup walked, you should absolutely consider Erin first.

Stacey did an amazing job. She met with me and introduced herself to the dogs. We came up with a plan that worked for me. She was on time both walks. She accommodated my 2 dogs quirks and returned them from their walk, happy and well exercised. I really appreciate her diligence and kindness to my dogs. I certainly will book again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Saint James

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Saint James is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $29 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 1,240 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint James. 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 Saint James. 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 Saint James 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 Saint James. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
