About: I have had a passion for animal care my entire life and I love all animals! I've worked with dogs of all breeds and cats as well. I am currently living in Hollywood, Los Angeles near the sunset junction strip and there are many good dog parks and trails nearby. I am so excited to host your pet in my home! I provide overnight boarding as well as pet daycare. I don't have any pets living with me so your pup or cat will have all of the attention and care they deserve! I work from home and usually only step out for an hour or two at most. So I can easily tend to most routines, whether it’s needing to walk, play, or even just hang out. I have a large very secure backyard that your dog can have as much access as they want, or if your dog wants to they can just lounge on the couch in the air conditioning. I can easily adapt the environment to whatever the dogs needs might be.

“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: I’ve taken care of many different animals in my life! I currently work as a veterinary technician and am growing my love for every animal there is! I love being there for animals and seeing their tails wag from happiness. I’m currently working as a veterinary technician and take care of animals 24/7. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I love being able to care for so many of them. Currently I am only offering to walk dogs since I think they deserve to be exercised and just get out of their normal habitat during the day.

“Lydia has been a wonderful addition to my dog walking team. She’s responsive to messages, flexible with individual needs, and dependable with care. She sends quality pictures and updates so I know how the walks went and how my pups are doing during her care. If she has questions or concerns during her time with the dogs she addresses them promptly and respectfully. I can trust no issue or concern will go unnoticed or unreported. I appreciate having Lydia as a trusted member of my team and can count on my dogs being well cared for and loved on while I am away.”

About: I adore animals and as a pet owner my entire adult life, understand the anxiety (for both the family and the pet) when having to entrust them to the care of others. I'm available to come to your house so your pet can remain in the comfort of their normal surroundings. I would love to meet beforehand so that you can feel at ease you've made the right choice for loving care we while you are away. I share daily updates on how your pet is doing, while you are away. I look forward to meeting both you and your fur baby, and offer you the comfort of knowing they are in safe, capable, and loving hands. Numerous references available upon request. If you are looking for loving, reliable, trustworthy care, look no further 💜. I work from home on a condensed work week. I have one pet who gets along with all dogs.. We like in Kohl’s Ranch and walking, enjoying the creek…all things we enjoy. I care for you pets as if they are my own. I have a fenced yard, enclosed deck and work from home so your pet will be attended to throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been a sitter for dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons! I am the ones my friends, family and neighbors call to watch their loved ones, and i am always more than happy to! I am comfortable pet-sitting for any dog at any age (& i have a soft spot for the seniors!!). I am currently working full-time, but my role is hybrid so i am home some days during the week. My schedule is very flexible, and I am available most weeknights and weekends and can absolutely make time during the weekdays. Let’s connect! I live in a spacious apartment in Scottsdale with a roommate who is also a dog lover. I am tucked away in a safe & friendly neighborhood that is very dog-friendly, as people are always out walking their dogs!

About: I have grown up with dogs for my whole life. We have had three dogs over the years and they have all had different personalities. It has been fun to adapt based on the dogs personalities and provide them with the care they need. When I was 11 I started a pet sitting business in my town. I would care for and walk a variety of dogs in my town and really enjoyed it. I am a big walker/ runner myself so I love being able to take dogs out on my walks and play with them in whatever way they need. I am currently an occupational therapist working in a preschool. I typically work from 7-3. I would be available for evening walks and open to over night stays on the weekends or during the week if your animals are able to be left alone during the work day. I have many days off working in a school so will have more availability during those times as well. I am very respectable to other peoples homes. I will follow all directions given to me and ensure to provide quality care for your animal!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 3, and caring for them has always come naturally to me! I’ve grown up with two Labs, a Lhasa Apso, and a Maltipoo, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve taken my own dogs on hour-long walks and runs, so I’m more than happy to keep up with high-energy pups who need to burn off some energy. I’ve also been trusted to care for dogs on my own for entire weekends while their owners were out of town, including keeping up with their routines, exercise, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m extremely active, responsible, and comfortable handling dogs independently. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own and want every walk to be something they genuinely look forward to! Since I work fully remotely, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. Monday through Thursday, I’m available during my lunch break as well as anytime after 4:30 PM. On Fridays, I’m available between 1:00–4:00 PM, and I’m also available Saturday and Sunday mornings from 8:00–11:00 AM. I love having the flexibility to get outside during the day, so dog walking is a perfect fit for my routine! Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I’m a very caring, attentive, and responsible person, and I’ll treat every pup like they’re my own. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog is secure, comfortable, and getting plenty of positive attention while we’re out. I’m mindful of traffic, other dogs, hot weather, and anything else that could affect their safety. I’ll also follow your instructions closely and make sure I understand your dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before heading out. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pup is in good hands and getting some fun, loving attention while you’re away!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, starting with two gentle giants—a Great Dane/Pitbull named Bruno and a Boxer/Pitbull named Dozer. Growing up with large, loving dogs taught me how to handle different temperaments with patience, confidence, and care. Now, I have a dog of my own, Roxy, a Border Collie/Shepherd mix who keeps me active and on my toes, along with my elderly calico cat, Gizzmo, who has taught me how to care for senior pets with extra gentleness and attention. I’m also a certified Reiki practitioner, and animals naturally respond to calm, grounded energy. I bring a peaceful presence that helps pets feel safe, especially those who are anxious, shy, or high-energy. I’m very attentive, gentle, and genuinely love being around animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just someone patient and nurturing, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around my own dog, Roxy, so I’m used to consistent walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving animals the attention they need throughout the day. Because of this, adding pet care into my week feels seamless—not stressful or rushed. I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet proper care, whether that’s walks, check-ins, or just spending quality time with them. I’m very intentional about not overbooking, so every pet I care for gets my full attention, patience, and a calm, consistent presence. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences—because I know pets thrive on familiarity. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean, calm, and secure. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also paying close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll have a safe, clean environment, regular potty breaks, structured activity, and lots of gentle interaction. I’m mindful of energy levels, especially with more sensitive or anxious pets, and create a peaceful atmosphere where they can relax. I also provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is simple: your pet feels secure, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I've worked with cats and dogs of various ages and sizes. This involves bathing, walking, offering play time, and administering medications. I've also had dogs since the age of 9. Currently not working, so I'll have available time during the week (Monday-Friday). I'll be able to do drop-ins or dog walking during the day (9am-7pm). I will gladly care for your pet as if their were my own, nourishing them well, taking them for walks, and rewarding them with affection and treats as needed. I will also make sure that the environment is peaceful especially for our anxious fur babies.

About: I am a senior at ASU on the pre vet track! I have worked at an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant, have a dog of my own back home who I have raised from a puppy and crate trained, taught to roll over, play dead, heel, and bring toys! I have dog sat for over 5 years and taken care of all types off breeds, large and small. I grew up around dogs, cats, horses, and birds. I have also volunteered at Liberty Wildlife and help rehab avian, reptilian, and mammal wildlife (including cats). I am a student at ASU and am fully online. I also live with three other girls who all love animals. We have a fully enclosed yard surrounded by 6+ feet walls, as well as a small courtyard which is also fully enclosed. I do own a cat who is very familiar and comfortable around dogs and cats. I love going on walks with dogs and would also be able to let them into the yard depending on owner’s requests and the dogs needs. I have a friendly cat, but I would love for the dogs to be comfortable around cats!

“Emma was exactly what I was looking for in a dog walker during the busy months this summer for my senior dog! I worked long hours twice a week and needed an extra hand making sure he was taken care of: walked midday, watered, diaper changed, etc. (He’s about 80lbs and 11 years old), and she helped with him for about 2 months and was GREAT! I cannot say enough amazing things about how easy it was to work with her! My pup and I recently moved across the country and will miss her services dearly! I would recommend her to any friends + family, personally. Thanks, Emma!🫶”

About: I'm a dog and cat mom who takes pet care seriously. My 3-year-old Czech working line German Shepherd has taught me how to read animal behavior, meet dogs where they are, and keep them mentally and physically engaged. We've worked with a professional trainer and I'm always learning more about canine behavior and instincts. My cat Mavia has been with me for 5 years, so your feline family is just as welcome. Here's what every drop-in visit looks like: I show up, follow your pet's routine, and handle whatever they need,feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some calm company. I pay attention to their mood and energy, not just the checklist. Before I leave, you'll get a photo update so you're never left wondering how they're doing. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I block out midday hours specifically for visits, so I'm never rushing in and out. Your pet gets my full attention during the visit, not a distracted five minutes between other obligations. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly, feeding schedules, routines, restricted areas, all of it. I'm also comfortable administering pet medications if needed. You'll always get a photo update before I leave so you know everything went smoothly.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Scottsdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Scottsdale is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 6,766 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 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 , 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 Scottsdale 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scottsdale. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
