About: I have been house/pet sitting for a few years now. But aside from that I have a dog and cat of my own! I love hanging out with animals and giving them love and affection. I have loved animals since I was little and have helped take care of my pets since elementary school! I would love to show your animals some love while your away, letting them know they are safe! I am currently unemployed and have a bunch of free time to engage with your animals! I want to include taking care of loving animals into my weekly and/or daily routine! I will walk your dog, play fetch, snuggle and give lots of tummy rubs! I know that your pet will be most comfortable in their safe, familiar environment and want to make sure that your pet is happy!
“Ryland is wonderful! So patient when meeting Rubi for the first time and clearly knows how to care for dogs. Will definitely use Ryland in the future for dog walks and sitting!!”
About: **I do have base access!** I grew up with cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and even mice. 🐭 I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility. Know that I have a cat of my own, Bo (8 years), but he does great with other pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and lots of time to care for your furry baby! I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left feeling lonely while you’re away. I live in a spacious three-bedroom apartment with plenty of safe space for your kitty to explore and get comfortable. For new visitors, I reserve my laundry room/guest bathroom as their own quiet space so they can decompress and adjust to their new environment at their own pace. Once they’re comfortable, there’s a long hallway that’s perfect for zoomies and plenty of room to explore! I also have a third-floor balcony that my own cat absolutely loves. He spends hours watching the hummingbirds fly up to visit him. 🐦 Any visiting kitties will always be closely supervised if they spend time on the balcony with me. I know every cat adjusts differently, so I’m happy to give them as much space, attention, or company as they need to feel safe and at home. 🐱
About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a slower pace. I focus on safe, consistent walks where your dog gets real exercise and a chance to relax and explore. I’m reliable and pay attention to the little things so every walk feels easy and fun for your dog. I am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to hang out with your pup! I don’t mind waking up early or staying up late, I can adjust to your pets needs. I care for dogs in their own environment, keeping their routine and space consistent. I pay attention to safety, use secure handling, and follow any instructions you leave. I move at your dog’s pace, respect their comfort level to make sure they feel safe and calm while your away. And of course, I make sure they get plenty of fun and a chance to burn off their energy!
“We used Zi for a few days to walk our German Shepherd puppy. She was prompt and gave a great report for our pup. Overall we are happy with the walks and our dog look like she enjoyed them as well.”
About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.
About: I connect with pets in a playful way so they have a fun and enjoyable experience, feel less lonely, and are excited and engaged during their day. I am retired and play pickleball regularly, which leaves me with plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet while you’re away. I will visit your pet in your home, feed and play with them, give them their meds and keep them company. I will walk your dog so they can explore and engage in their surroundings.

About: Hello! My name is Abigayle, Abby, and I have worked with animals all of my life! When you are a military brat, you tend to do plenty of volunteering and dog sitting! I have volunteered at the local humane societies for 5 years and in my off time typically am house sitting for friends and family! I am comfortable with every type of animal! If I haven’t worked with your breed of animal before you best believe I will be doing plenty of research before you leave so you know that your baby is getting the best care possible! I am comfortable with walks, feeding, bathing, grooming, and cleaning up after your animal friend! After all they are family members and deserve the very best! I am currently looking for jobs as I just moved to the area with my partner! My schedule is open and I will be updating the schedule once I get a full time job! I typically work the usual 8-5, but I always make room for my animal friends! I, myself, have a 2 year old cockapoo! He gets plenty of walks, training, and food! He is very well loved and groomed and taken care of! When I am taking care of other people’s animals, I try to spend extra time with them as I understand anxiety in pets! I meet every animal where they are at and let them tell me their boundaries versus forcing myself onto them. I believe in building trust and rapport with animals. I work 4 days a week with Fridays and the weekends off. I can come to you and stay at your home overnight. When I work I work from 7:30-3:00 which means your family member won’t be left for long. My dog is friendly and a goofball- we do have a partially fenced yard, but I live near the waterfront and can take your pooch on a walk.

I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scandia
Joei truly went above and beyond for my pup! There was a mix up on my end where I had my address incorrect, but instead of just canceling, she actually called my emergency contact and figured it out and still got to my dog. I would definitely put my trust in her again. I love people who go above and beyond for my dog.
I can’t say enough good things about Aaron. From the very first visit, it was clear how genuine and attentive he was to Ms Bella. He took the time to understand each of her quirks, her out going and loving personality, and her comfort level. He has treated her with the love and tenderness, I was hoping to find in a dog walker. She looks forward to his weekly visits! I highly recommend Aaron to anyone that is in need of a dog walker. Especially, if you have a disability, as I do, that may force you not to get out as often as your pet needs. He has taken that stress and worry off my shoulders!
Rachel and her husband Brendan have been checking in on Lucy while I’m at work since 2024 and I genuinely can’t speak highly enough of them. I work night shift, so one of them would come late at night to let out my pit mix, Lucy while I was working. It’s hard to find someone willing to come in the evening, but Rachel and Brendan were always up to the task. Lucy ADORES both of them and they love her just as much. They’ve become two people I trust completely and even refer to them as Auntie Rachel and Uncle Brendan :) They really are her favorite people. They always sent me pictures and videos of Lucy so I got to see what she was up to which is a nice pick me up while at work. Lucy and I are so lucky to have them in our corner!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Scandia is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $27 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.

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 Scandia. 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 Scandia 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 Scandia. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
