About: I've had my own pets since I was a child (0ver 40 years) and have also fostered dogs through capital area humane society for years. I currently walk an older couples dog weekly to ensure she gets out and some exercise each week. I work from home and can take multiple breaks to walk away throughout the day. I love being outdoors and going for walks in any type of weather. Rain is something I try to avoid. I am free to work remotely from any location if you happen to need a pet sitter in home or multiple check ins throughout a specific time period.

About: I have had cats as pets for as long as I can remember. I have also had rabbits and dogs too. I currently have 3 cats (a senior, adult and a kitten) and a 5 year old dog. I would love to help you with your furry family members! I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 elementary aged children in school so I am available during the day and most evenings so your pets will have lots of care and attention. I let the pets be themselves in my home. They are free to roam the house and get comfortable while they are in my care.

About: I've cared for a variety of pets and livestock my entire life, including medical care. Additionally, I have spent time and am passionate about working with and training dogs. My Aussie-Collie is a high energy and intelligent guy, so I'm used to working with higher-drive dogs. Prices may be subject to discount depending on location. If you are looking for livestock care, I have a history working with horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, poultry, etc. Availability on an hourly basis may change, once an appointment is requested, we can message regarding details. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am generally unavailable for Drop-Ins and Dog Walks after 1:00 pm. Wednesdays I am generally unavailable for Drop-Ins and Dog Walks after 5:00 pm. I am currently an online, asynchronous student, so my schedule is very flexible. This means that I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard, and gates through the house to ensure that spaces can be portioned off if needed. I also have experience monitoring the health of pets, livestock, and laboratory animals.

About: When petsitting, I go beyond basic pet sitting by tailoring care to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m reliable, a good communicator, and can keep you updated via pictures! I also have experience administering medications and handling anxious pets as I have one of my own. My goal is to prioritize your pets safety, and keep them happy and comfortable. I am on the MSU women’s rowing team, and only have practices 6:30-9:30am daily. Aside from that, I have a part-time job with a very free schedule. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment whether pets are in my own home or yours. I don’t like to get them off routine as I know that can be a bit overwhelming for some animals, and love to give lots of attention! I’ll also be attentive to any needs of the pet, and keep you updated with photos/texts so you know your pet is in good hands!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Caring for them has always been a natural part of my life, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for yours! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a caring pet sitter while you’re away, or someone to spend quality time playing and keeping them company, I’m here to help. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own by providing plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping a pet company, I’m committed to being reliable and consistent. Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important routines are, and I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I know that keeping pets in their familiar routine helps them feel safe, comfortable, and less stressed while their family is away. When spending time with pets, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their individual personality and energy level. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and positive experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind.

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Saint Johns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Saint Johns is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $1 and $17 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 710 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint Johns. 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 Johns. 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 Johns 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 Johns. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
