Michelle has been fantastic. She's great about sending updates and photos during the walk, so we never have to wonder how things went. We're completely comfortable having her let herself into our house - she's clearly trustworthy and treats our home with respect. Both of our dogs, Max and Louis, get genuinely excited when they see Michelle, which says it all. Highly recommend her!

I booked Christa last minute while I was traveling, and she was absolutely amazing. She came by twice in one day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dog. I could tell my dog felt comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful she was available on short notice and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m patient, dependable, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or providing plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and staying active. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, ensuring pets receive consistent and reliable care. 🐾 I live in an apartment complex so I am regularly walking my beagle every 6 hours. When in other people’s homes I fit my schedule around my clients to ensure the pets routine and daily needs are taken care of first!

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie :) I’ve always loved being around animals, and I feel lucky to spend my time caring for them. My goal as a pet sitter is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality so we can build trust and a genuine connection. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply sitting quietly together, I follow their lead to give them exactly what they need. I’ve trained with the Humane Society to better understand both cat and dog body language, which helps me recognize the little cues that show when a pet wants space, comfort, or extra attention. I can also provide light training, especially with cats. Furthermore, I am pursuing cat & dog CPR/First Aid to give you complete trust that when your pet is with me, they are completely safe in all situations. You can trust that I also make sure your pet has everything they need to feel their best: fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or plenty of outdoor breaks, and plenty of enrichment. And because I know I’m stepping into their safe space, I treat every home with respect and care. At the end of the day, my goal is always the same: for your pets to feel understood, well cared for, and loved until you’re back home. Alongside pet care, I work from home offering virtual meditation and mindfulness practices to my clients. Because of this, I have the flexibility to fit pet sitting and enrichment seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Whether you’re traveling or simply want your pets to have a little extra love and attention during the day, I’m available and adaptable to your needs. And quite honestly, spending time with animals is always the highlight of my day. I know that your home is your pet’s safe space, and I treat it with the utmost respect. My approach is always to let the animal take the lead, whether they’re curious, shy, or somewhere in between, so they feel fully comfortable and in control. Building trust is my top priority, and I take the time to ensure every pet knows they are safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away.

Trisha was an absolute dream. My precious dog walker fell through and Trisha helped immediately. What I especially love is that she cared for my furry goober the way I would. She was loving and kind with him, sharing pup-dates and photos, and giving him scritches while the family was gone. Just an absolute joy to have with my pup—even when he saw squirrels and lost his mind 😂 She filled up doggo food and water, and went literally above and beyond all that was required of her. I cannot emphasize enough what a positive experience she made out of what was sheer panic. I am forever indebted and give her 6/5 stars. 🙏 thank you to the moon, Trisha!

About: I'm the proud owner of a rambunctious little goldendoodle that I've raised from puppyhood to adulthood, so I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs through every stage of life, in both sickness and health, and from fussy moods to bouts of hyperactivity. Moreover, I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have kept everything from gerbils to birds. As a pet owner, I know it can be stressful leaving your sweet little angel with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind and provide attentive care for your pet. More than happy to accommodate any special requests. Glad to send pics and updates as well! I occasionally travel for work, but when I'm home, I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time to the pets I'm caring for. I'm also an early riser, so morning walks and feeding schedules are never a problem. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I take the responsibility seriously and will always keep you in the loop. If your pet has any special needs or routine (whether it's avoiding certain foods, allergens, other dogs, or following specific care instructions), I'll be happy to accommodate them. Your peace of mind is my priority.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for several years and truly treat animals like family. I’ve owned multiple dogs at once for about 4 years and cared for two cats for 3 years, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need to feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with potty training, maintaining routines, and recognizing pet body language, especially with reactive or nervous dogs around people, animals, or bikes. I always prioritize safety on walks and in new environments. I’m comfortable handling vet visits calmly and responsibly, and I understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s pet. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away. work a hybrid schedule (2 days working from home, 3 days in office), which gives me flexibility for pet care. On my work-from-home days, I’m available for mid-day walks in addition to morning and evening care. On office days, I can provide early morning walks, evening walks, and overnight care. I also have availability on weekends depending on my schedule. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a small private patio. There are several safe walking options nearby, including a park directly across the street for daily walks and outdoor time. A local dog park is also just a few blocks away and can be accessed by car if permitted by the owner. I do not have any pets or children in the home, which allows me to provide a calm and focused environment for your dog. I prioritize safety, consistent supervision, and following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed.

I recently adopted an adult shelter dog and had to find a dog walker asap. Alana was prompt with responding, friendly, clean, respectful, and gave a text and photo update of my dog's walk. She was patient as I figured out how to navigate booking, she communicated well via text, and made my new-old dog's adjustment (and mine) very smooth!

About: I worked for doggy daycare four years. I mainly worked with little to medium size dogs, but would help out with the big dogs from time to time. I was a shift lead. This means, I have experience in giving oral medication and injectables. Such as insulin for diabetics pets. Not only dogs, but cats as well! As well as making daycare/boarding groups based on age temperament and size. I’m well-versed in dog behavior. Knowing the difference between play and fight is important! At the doggy daycare I worked with a range different age of pets and breeds. This helped me become more adaptable to all of my clients needs. Of course I did the basics! Including regular, and deep cleaning of the yards, the kennels and the grooming room! I continue working with animals today as a technician assistant! I have been working in veterinary medicine for over a year now! I currently work overnight three days a week at emergency vet hospital! Also, in my own home, I’ve always had animals! I enjoy working with high, intelligent dog breed such a German Shepherd! I’ve owned three. As you can tell, I have a strong passion for animals! I’m a College student living with my boyfriend, taking 16 credits this semester! I work three day a week as a technician assistant at an emergency hospital! Tuesday, Thursday-Sunday, I will be available 9am-4pm, to do walks and potty breaks. Thursday and Friday my schedule is open for overnight! I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs. The dogs are usually out every 2 hour for 15 to 20 minutes of outside time. And five minute potty breaks we needed. If weather permits, my German shepherd goes on 30 minute walk daily. For mental and physical stimulation! When there is bad weather days, puzzles and interactive toys are a must! Both of my dogs went with me when I worked at Hound Dog pet hotel West. So they know how to be socially around other peoples dogs.For my cats I have two family cats, and one of my own. Each cat litter is cleaned out twice a week minimum. For all of my animals water is available 24/7. I will treat your pet as I would, my own. By making a routine that keeps him happy and healthy and showing them as much love as possible!

About: I absolutely love dogs! I grew up with a Shih Tzu, have cared for my brother’s dogs for extended periods, and have pet-sat for many family friends. Spending time with dogs—whether walking, playing, visiting dog parks, or hiking—is one of my favorite things to do! I work from home on East Coast hours, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time. I’d love to spend that extra time helping you out and hanging out with your friendly pups! I live in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and a fenced yard. When your dog is outside in the yard, I’ll always be there to supervise. If I’m caring for them in your home or neighborhood, I’ll follow all your recommendations and prioritize your furry friend’s well-being. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including bathroom breaks and walks. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always available to stay in touch. Let me know how I can help care for your dog! I work from home daily with a very flexible schedule. I can typically make any time work as needed with a bit of notice. I love taking breaks from the computer to get some fresh air and have a puppy break! I have a fenced in yard, live in a safe neighborhood, and always walk on the sidewalks. I am always alert and paying attention as needed. I am very cognizant of the hot temps, I have a hose and sprinkler for my turf, and a side yard with shade as needed.

She is an essential part of the care team, and, for the past year-and-a-half, has done an OUTSTANDING job of walking Roxy, consistently.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Scottsdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Scottsdale on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,864 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Scottsdale. 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 Scottsdale. 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 Scottsdale.

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 Scottsdale. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
