“Dana took wonderful care of our senior dog. We had an emergency and very short notice, and were thrilled that she could help by walking him for a week. She communicated with us promptly and clearly, and was very responsive. We will definitely contact her the next time we need help.”
“Luke was a fantastic dog walker. I had to hire him last minute because of an emergency and he was so flexible with all of the difficulties I threw his way. My dog had a great time with him and I loved all the pictures I got! I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker that truly puts your dog’s happiness first.”
About: I have been working with dogs for over 9 years now. I also have 3 small dogs that make this life worth while! When I’m not dog sitting, I love to hop in the RV with my dogs and take amazing road trips! I have trained puppies as well. I’m currently working from home and can watch your pets at any time! I love to take frequent breaks to run outside with my dogs and would love to do the same for your pets!i I have a fenced backyard. I also follow directions. If a client tells me what is needed, then I will make sure to go above and beyond to meet those requested needs!
“Thank you so much for all you did! ❤️ I'm glad he was a good boy. Feel free to help work with him on no jumping. He does know sit and stay for when you leave too! I hope he didn't scratch you up or make bruises, he didn't mean to if he did.”
“Laura is so amazing with our dog Riley (and Riley can be a handful)! I love all her updates and pictures, it always makes my day to see her and know she’s having a great time!”
About: Being raised on a local farm, animals and pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have experience caring for puppies and dogs of all ages and would love to look after your furry friends. I am retired and have an open and flexible schedule! I am available all times of day to provide walks, in-home care, and other needs your pet might have. I can provide care in your home so that your pets remain in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to accompany your dog through their usual routine!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life whether that be my own, staying with other people’s pets, dog walking, etc. As much as I love dogs, I am a cat person. I pay attention to detail and what the animal needs. I’m currently working part time, so I have a lot of weekend availability. Weekend nights are a perfect fit for me to stay overnight and petsit. My dogs and cats in my home are each very unique behaviorally. My oldest dog, Wesley, is reactive and we have had to do extensive training and redirection with him. For example, I give him his Prozac every day and make sure that not only is he physically tired, but also mentally. My dogs each get 30+ minute walks a night as well as a morning stretch and plenty of yard time. My three cats get along pretty well although the older two get annoyed with the kitten’s antics, so I keep a plethora of toys on hand. In your home, I do the same thing by monitoring behaviors, asking about medications, and providing stimulation for the animals!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of friends and family for as long as I can remember, from taking them out during the day to staying with them overnight when the family was out of town. I love meeting and hanging out with new animals! I currently do not have a job and am looking for part time or full time positions so as of right now, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I love playing with dogs, inside or outside depending on your preferences and weather. I can also crate your dog if needed before leaving the home.
About: I have a lifetime of dog care experience, including 3 years of professional daycare work and experience giving medications. I have two Mastiffs, and I’m easygoing, caring, and love spending time with dogs! I’m currently not working so I have lots of time to get to know your fur babies! I’m very gentle, and playful with pets that are comfortable. I have two very large dogs of my own, a Mastiff and a Rottweiler/Mastiff mix! I grew up caring for older, sick, and slower dogs, which taught me to be patient and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities.
About: I grew up with dogs; we got our first dog when I was 10 years old, and ever since, our household always had at least one or more dogs. My first own dog, a white German Shepherd named Ziva, joined me 11 years ago. I adore dogs; I love everything about them. I enjoy going on walks, cuddling, brushing them, and playing. Whatever a dog needs to be happy, I’m there to provide it with love and care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for other pets. I moved to the U.S. from Germany two and a half years ago, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your beloved pet. That’s why I dedicate myself to giving pet owners peace of mind—so they can travel, go to work, or enjoy time away, knowing their furry family members are safe and loved. When I care for your dog or cat in your home, I tailor the routine to your pet’s needs and your environment. I love taking the dog for walks and, if you have a fenced garden, I enjoy spending time playing there as well. Depending on what’s available, I adapt my care to ensure your pet stays active, happy, and comfortable at home.
About: Welcome to your pet’s home away from home 💛 Hi there! We’re a fun-loving, animal-obsessed couple who believe life is simply better with paws, tails, and a little bit of fur on everything. We moved from Colorado a few years ago, where we had the joy of hosting all kinds of animals—big, small, shy, energetic—you name it, we’ve loved it! Both of us grew up on farms in the Midwest, so caring for animals has always been second nature and one of our favorite things to do. These days, we both work from home during the week, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and snuggles all day long. Our home is very much a pet-first household—around here, animals run the show! Whether your pet loves curling up on the couch, stretching out in bed, or following us around all day, they’re welcome to make themselves completely at home. No strict rules here—just lots of love, comfort, and flexibility. We also have a super friendly pup who absolutely loves making new friends and gets along great with other animals. Daily life includes walks around the neighborhood, and the occasional trip to the dog park for extra zoomies. We’re very laid-back and flexible with schedules—whatever works best for you and your pet, works for us! Our goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease while your furry family member is safe, happy, and spoiled. We can’t wait to meet you and your pet—and give them all the love they deserve! 🐾 I currently am working remote so 3 - 4 long walks is my current routine. I live close to numerous trails so you can count on your pup always getting the best outdoor experience while he/ she is with me. I have one very friendly dog who loves to play, I am always home to keep an eye on him and any other friends we have at the time. I am very diligent in my care because I know I would expect the same of someone watching my guy, you can always be sure that in my care your fur baby will get lots of love and attention… and treats of course.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have been pet sitting for 13 years. I grew up with Newfoundlands at home so I have lots of experience caring for and walking doggies of all sizes! I also have ample experience with dogs that have specific, special, or advanced needs, as well as a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I’m currently employed as an independently contracted mental health therapist and have availability during the weekdays and weekends as I build up a full case load. I would love to fill this time with dog walking and other pet care, if I can! My schedule is fairly flexible so I can be available to check in/care for dogs during normal business hours. I’m also open to staying overnight at clients’ homes to meet the needs of their dog if necessary!
“Nicole is incredibly reliable and so helpful. She regularly walks my dog while I am teaching, and has been able to care for pets when I needed to travel. I love coming home to happy fur babies who have been well-loved and cared for!”
About: My name is Lauren. I’ve had a dog my whole life, so I’m basically a pro at caring/walking dogs! I have also taken care of many cats as well! Currently I have a 4 year old yellow lab named Fenway and a 2 year old black lab named Boston. I will be available for check ins and walks with your dog. I am a teacher, so my availability is early mornings and week nights, or any time on the weekends. Can’t wait to hear from you! I will be mostly available on week day early evenings/ nights and any time on the weekends. I can be flexible, feel free to reach out! I would love to come to your home and take care of your dog. I will play with your dog and walk your dog as needed. I also take care of cats as well.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I treat them like family and have always been the go to for friends and family to pet sit and walk! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I figured we already go on daily walks, why not meet some pup friends! 🐾 I have the utmost respect for pups and their families. I know how much I care for my doggo and would treat yours the same 🤗
About: Hey! My name is Lexi and I am a huge animal lover! I just moved back to North Carolina from Pennsylvania, but I worked with dogs at a grooming salon for 3 years. I have one dog of my own and 3 cats. I promise to care for your babies the same way that I do mine! My friends and family always call me to care for their pets, knowing that I will take the best care of them! I work full time but I have a really flexible schedule so I’m typically available for taking care of your loved pets! Typically available for after work with night time or dinner visits! When caring for pets, whether in my home or in yours, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I have 1 dog and 3 cats that are all super friendly! I definitely understand patience and confidence when working with any type of pet! My top priority is always health, safety, and the happiness of your pet. I make sure that my care meets their needs, routines, and personalities. When caring for pets in their own environment, I make sure to maintain their regular schedule to help reduce any stress. I can provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can stay connected while you’re away. Whether it’s giving medications, following a special feeding plan, or giving your dog their daily belly rub, I try to follow their routine as closely as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Shotwell on Rover is $16.65 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 4,210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shotwell. 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 Shotwell. 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 Shotwell.

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 Shotwell. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
