Bethany did an amazing job with our dog Lily. She gave plenty of updates, pictures,and lots of care! She even went above and beyond and brought in some flowers for us and brought in our trash cans while we were away. We cannot thank you enough for your help this week! I would gladly trust Bethany again. 💖

Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.

About: With 5 years of regular pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages - from bouncy puppies and playful kittens to my true area of expertise: senior pets. I understand the unique needs that come with each life stage, from puppy energy and socialization to the extra patience, gentle handling, and attentiveness that senior pets often require (think mobility issues, medication schedules, and just plain more TLC). Every pet in my care gets individualized attention tailored to their age, temperament, and routine. Whether it’s a high-energy young dog needing exercise and mental stimulation, or an older cat who just wants a quiet lap and consistent care, I adjust my approach to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home so my schedule allows flexibility for lots of walks and potty breaks. My personal daily routine included exercise and regular walks, I’d love to include your pet! My home is one level and my yard is fenced in allowing for convenience to get outside easily and stay safe. Pets are welcome to roam free in my home, but happy to work with any crates or other training needs to stay on track.

About: I’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs, As well as domestic kinds of animals. When working with different animals I make sure I know everything I can about their routine, training, schedules so that they are returned back to owner, the owner is very satisfied with my service with their pets. I connect very well with the animals so that they are very comfortable with me and so that owner feels confortabke entrusting me with their pets. With puppies i make sure to ask all necessary questions with potty training making sure they are taken out often, to any current training being worked on with owner at home. With senior dogs making sure any routine they are on with eating walking or any possible medications are kept on track. Please let me know if their are any questions. Currently I am a stay at home Mom. Any routine any owner needs me to stick with it will be worked with and stay on track with training. I can take 1-2 dogs at a time. I like to do meet and greets so that new pets and their owners can get to know me and feel comfortable with their pets being in my care. Would need to be potty trained and neutered/spade. I love animals that are cuddle bugs! I do not have a fenced in yard but my house large enough for play and can go on walks nearby by park by house. I make sure a gate is up in my house so I can keep an eye on all pets being watched.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I currently care for two cats of my own and have experience pet sitting for friends, neighbors, roommates, and family members. I've cared for pets ranging from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm committed to following your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship while you're away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to give both you and your pet a stress-free experience from start to finish. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, so I'm used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time playing and providing affection. I've also cared for friends', neighbors', and roommates' pets over the years, so incorporating walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care into my schedule feels very natural. I work well with routines and understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a cat mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust another person with the wellbeing of your pets and take the responsibility very seriously. I carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications (if needed), exercise, playtime, and any special routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean living spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and safe while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible.

I could not recommend Tess more- so reliable and attentive to care instructions and communicative about the walks. Tess was also flexible with me when I needed to modify a walk. I greatly appreciated her care for our 12 year old greyhound and it’s clear our grey felt very happy and calm around Tess. We will be booking again! Thank you!

About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.

About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to hamsters, an iguana, fish, and even a duck. I’m a flight attendant and former professional ballerina, which means I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. My cat, Rose, keeps my heart full, and I bring that same love and care to every pet I meet. Currently working as a flight attendant. If I am not up in the air I would love to be here spending time with your fur baby! Your pet’s safety comes first with me. I’m happy to follow any guidelines or routines you prefer so your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with all ages, sizes, and pet kinds! I am a full time Physical Therapist throughout the week, but I am available in evenings and weekends! I will follow what ever system the owner has in place for their fur babies and ensure that they are being taken care of and getting exercise! Right now I am studying for a board exam, so unless I am going out of town for something, I am likely available to help take care of your fur babies. I am able to care for your pet no matter what type of housing (house, apartment, townhome). I work with the owner on what type of activity level the animal requires.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Southgate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Southgate on Rover is $21.8 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 2,125 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southgate. 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 Southgate. 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 Southgate.

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 Southgate. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
