About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)

About: I've cared for pets my whole life - as a child, through adulthood, and with my own family. Now, my wife and I have Zeus and Nala, two adorable lab mixes who rule our life with walks, baths, and dinner time. I'm a longtime professional transitioning to a new career. Currently, I have no recurring commitments and have lots of availability and flexibility for intermittent or regular walks and sitting. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I'm at home most of the day, and the doors stay open with access to a breezy porch and lots of sunlight.

About: I have owned diabetic dogs and one with epilepsy. Friends and coworkers always ask me to watch their furbabies because they know how good my husband and I are with our own. They trust us and coming from someone who rarely traveled and when I did I took them with me because I don't trust others would take care of them like I do. I understand the anxiety that comes with having to leave them behind for whatever reason. Knowing they will be loved and have fun makes it that much easier for both you and your pet. Safety and security are also most important to us so rest assured they will be okay. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband's business is from home so we are both always here. We never leave for more that 3 hours due to our 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around. My brother also lives across from me and has over an acre of running room as well if needed. My husband and I work from home and are always available. We used to have dogs with medical issues and couldn't really leave them with anyone. My husband and I love animals and know how hard it is to leave them anywhere. Even at petsmart hotel they stay inside a small area and the play area isn't that big. We work from home and are never away longer than 4 hours. We have a 2 year old who is really good with the dogs as well but Rest assured we never let her play with them unattended. We have a large yard for dogs and know that they will be taken care of and loved while visiting us. All pets need love and attention. Even pet hotels leave them alone overnight and the thought of them having to hold it or use it in their space to feel ashamed is aweful. With us you get peace of mind and that's priceless In my home they will be treated like our own. They can play outside as long as they want. They scratch on the door ahead. They want in or out. They sleep inside on our bed with us of course. We want them to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. My dog buddy sleeps in his cage when he stays with others because he feels safe there so we understand everyone is different.

Kamari was great! She was a last minute dog walker when the one we had scheduled for a meet and greet was a no-show. She made the time to do a meet and greet at 8 pm. Highly recommend her.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with both. I currently have four cats of my own and volunteer at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where I help make sure every homeless kitty gets the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting and walking for friends and neighbors since middle school, I’ve worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. There, I was responsible for supervising group play, feeding dogs with specific dietary needs, administering medications (including pills and liquids), bathing dogs, and keeping their environment clean, safe, and fun. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, a nice walk, or making sure your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family! My schedule is flexible, but I do have classes from 11–12 and 1–2 on weekdays. I’m typically available in the mornings, afternoons after 2, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m usually off on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I often have more availability those days. However, I do occasionally work, so my schedule may vary slightly. Feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own space. I follow feeding routines, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give them all the attention they need. For dogs, I love going on walks and spending time outdoors. For cats, I offer lots of affection (when they want it!) and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. Whether it’s staying overnight or stopping by for a check-in, I always treat every pet like my own.

About: !!!!BOOKED OUT FOR HOUSE SITTING SERVICES UNTIL JULY 13 2025!!! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, quite literally. I had 13 childhood dogs, as I grew up they grew older with me and unfortunately most passed away. Since moving to New Mexico 3 years ago I found myself on a dilema, I miss my fluffy friends. I chose to provide services for rover and through the years I’ve gotten to take care of many different breeds, small dogs, big dogs, puppies, and senior dogs and it has probably been one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken. I’ve realize that the old saying of “a dog is a man’s best friend” is 100% real. A couple months ago I started co-parenting a mini schnauzer with my sister and it has made me realize how much I enjoy being around these fluffy friends, spending time with them, and entertaining them. These beautiful creatures provide unconditional love and affection. For us our pets are just a chapter in our life, but from them we are the whole book ❤️ and as a sitter I’m here to provide help and shadow your routine for the times you have to be away from them, providing them a big amount of time, love, comfort, and joy! I became a certified trainer 4 years ago. Im mainly a homebody, while I do go to school from Monday- Thursday I spend around 16-20 hours of the day at home guaranteed! While I do work from home, I have a small part time job that requires me to be away from home 4-5 hours a day only in the weekends Im a dependable and trustworthy sitter! As I shadow your routine and follow your schedule, I get to cherish your pet, play with them, take them on walks, make them feel comfortable and loved.

About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.

About: I was raised on a farm where I was blessed to have many farm animals and 5 dogs! I really do have a passion for them! I left my job as an ambulance dispatcher because it wasn’t what I loved to do. I’m willing to give up all my time and dedicate it to pursuing the happiness of your fur babies! I am not yet accepting the service option in which I can bring your babies to my home but being a house sitter I would respect your home and your baby, making sure nothing is misplaced or damaged!

We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.

My doggie is a shiba inu (his name is Hawk) who is very particular and has quite the personality. He does not allow people he doesn't know get to close to him or pet him. Usually it will take weeks for Hawk to warm up to someone. But with Juan he warmed up to him after the first walk AND he let's him pet him. And I thinks that's great and a testament of his treatment to the doggies.

FAQs for Dog Walking - South Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Valley on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 802 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Valley. 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 South Valley. 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 South Valley.

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 South Valley. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
