Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals. I have 12 cats and 2 dachshunds of my own! I have experience bottle feeding newborn kittens. I also have experience taking care of an injured dog, who was paralyzed on the back legs for a short period of time. I will treat your fur babies like my own! I do prefer the Lexington/West Columbia or the St. Matthews/Orangeburg areas for my services. Please message me before booking! Im available to care for pets during the week after 5pm. I am also available to care on weekends when you are away. Pet sitting is something i have always loved! My dogs are set on a routine. We feed them once a day and that typically is in the mornings. My youngest dog needs extra attention so she gets play time and lots of love. Our cats are also set on routine. The cats get food in the morning and right before bed time. I will stick to your pets routine as well!

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

I provide a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where dogs receive plenty of love, exercise, structure, and personalized attention throughout the day.

About: I've had animals all my life. I've taken care of everything from dogs and cats to lizards and guinea pigs. My dogs are well trained, I have a 2 year old German Shepard and a 9 month old cat currently. They have had plenty of exposure with other animals. I love to interact with new animals and they will be under the best care when with me. I will strive to give your loved ones the attention they need. Im currently working part-time time with a lot of freedom in my scheduling. Pet sitting gets me out of the house and it is mutually rewarding to spend my time caring for animals. My 3 year old German Shepard and 1 yr old cat offer a fun friend to play with. Plenty of toys and treats available. House is big enough to divide spaces if breaks are needed. Schedules are put in place as to ease transitions from one home to the other.

About: Originally from North Italy I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my role as a K9 Search and Rescue Coordinator in Germany before moving here not long ago, where I trained and handled dogs in obedience, tracking, and real-world scenarios. This experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive while ensuring each dog’s safety and well-being. I’m currently studying Veterinary Medicine, which allows me to better understand animal health, behavior, and care. With over 18 years of experience in customer service and working with people, I bring strong communication, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like family and always follow their routine closely to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and French, making communication easy for a wide range of pet parents. I offer reliable weekday availability focused on dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m building pet care as my full-time focus, which allows me to provide consistent, on-time care Monday through Friday. I’m available for daily walks, feeding visits, and check-ins, and I’m happy to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re at work or away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my experience in K9 search and rescue and my ongoing studies in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and responsive in any situation. I understand animal behavior and how to provide safe, structured, and stress-free care in your home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. During walks and visits, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. My goal is to keep your pet happy and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I provide updates and photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available. My schedule changes from week to week, as I’m still engaged in the transportation of pets, so always have wife for backup. We really care about healthy life style and guarantee the best care for them. I certified the American Red Cross for pet first aid as well. All animals under my care are insured, insurance policy included veterinarian reimbursement. Meeting new animal friends is something that will always bring me joy. Your dog will be in the professional and loving care when under my watch. If I sound like someone you could trust to care for your fur babies, please send me message. DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). 
Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that.
A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Saint Matthews

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint Matthews. 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 Matthews. 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 Saint Matthews.

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 Saint Matthews. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
