About: I have owned and cared for various pets throughout my life including dogs, cats, snakes, and rodents. I currently own a cat and a boa constrictor. I'm a stay at home mom so I'm available during the day while my two older kids are in school. My youngest will accompany me in caring for pets. I will walk your dog as needed with a secure leash and diligently follow any and all instructions you have left for your pets care.

About: I’ve had the privilege to be a friend to many furr babies. I love to hang out with dogs and spend time at the dog park. I have a lot of love for the babies Very flexible at the moment. Don’t hesitate to reach out to see if I’m available last minute! Weekends are here and there but it never hurts to ask! I have a fenced in yard and live 1 mile from a dog park which I frequent. I have 2 dogs of my own who get along with others very well! If needed, crates are available. There are endless toy options for everyone! I struggle with trust in someone who’s looking after my babies when I’m not with them. I want to provide the ease of mind while caring for your babies when you’re not.

About: This Fur-Mommy LOVES doggies! I am a fur mommy to mixed breed loving 5 month old puppy. I’ve had many dogs in my past who have all lived to be old and grey. I have one small child who is at school during the day who also loves doggies probably the most out of all of us. . I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible leaving plenty of time to care for the fur babies.. My yard is large enough to allow your bigger doggie to run wild and small enough that your small dog won't get lost. I've had dogs my entire life. I'm really good with giving them attention and I love to take them on walks (great exercise for me and them!) I also do great with dogs with special needs. So if your puppy needs to be carried, I'll carry them. My home is extremely dog friendly, your doggie will love coming to visit me. For those who are worried about the multiple pups in the home, I’m Happy to do a meet n greet to ensure that we all mesh well. We can also work something out if you'd rather it only be one dog around your dogs. I’m a dual careerist who works from home. Because I’m a realtor, I’ll occasionally have to pop out but I’m usually home for most of the day. My household is up early and up late. Perfect for any fur baby schedule. I’m a planner so If I’m going to be gone for the weekend or any specific day - my calendar will reflect that information. I have an extremely clean and nice size backyard. Perfect for fetch or simply running in circles. I’m a neat person. Paws will be wiped and lotion applied after playing outside, noses will get some cocoa butter balm to keep them soft, and a light brushing to keep this fur clean of debris.

Debbie is the BEST! She’s so helpful and very informative with her descriptions about the walks. Tons of photos, full details about their walk and exact counts of poops and pees for each doggy. Our dogs (German Shepherd & Chihuahua) love Debbie. She plays fetch with our Shepherd, gives our Chihuahua tons of belly rubs, and even plays carpet hockey with our Shepherd when it’s too hot or rainy outside. She definitely goes far above and beyond on her care for our dogs. She’s indispensable and irreplaceable. Highly recommended by these dog parents and their pups!

About: I have loved animals ever since I can remember. As I got older, I wanted to learn how to properly care for them. I volunteered at PetSmart for one year and cat/dog sat for any neighbor or friend that needed a helping hand. Due to family allergies, I didn't have pets of my own, so I continually sought out expereinces and advice that would help me learn those skills. In additon to my abundant pet care knowledge, I am a young and active person, able to keep up with the most energetic of dogs. I am also quite detail-oriented, and will follow your petcare details to a T, ensuring your dog is happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I am currently working a part time job Monday-Friday that has me working mornings until 12pm. Other than that, my schedule is wide open to care for your dog or cat in the afternoon and evening! I will not be able to let your pet into my own home due to some of my family members having allergies. In your home, I will remain respectful of your space and follow any given care instructions perfectly to ensure a happy and healthy pet!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs and now raising two pups of my own—ages 10 and 2, both with us since they were tiny, wiggly puppies. I also would dog walk during my teenage years for my entire neighborhood. I’m all about keeping pets happy and active, whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or giving all the belly rubs they can handle. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I love making every pet feel right at home. After 11 years as a stay‑at‑home mom, I’m now in a new season where all of my kids are in school during the day—giving me plenty of open, flexible time to focus on pet care. I’m used to managing busy routines, staying organized, and being fully present, and now I get to put that energy into caring for other families’ pets. With a quieter house and a wide‑open daytime schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions exactly as they’re given, because every animal has their own routine, needs, and comfort zone. Whether it’s feeding, walking, medications, or house rules, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own—keeping things tidy, secure, and calm so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I love animals and animals seem to dig me too. I grew up around many small to large dog breeds and I am a mother of a 10 year old Pomeranian named Baby and a fluffy Persian cat named Soda. Trust that I will cater to your dogs needs-even the silly wants too. Skills: senior pet care, attention to detail, communication, patience, ability to say no to puppy eyes, playful, safety first mindset. Im a part time worker now and if you let me know in advance I can make time for that. Please dont feel shy to ask. At home my cat and dog love each other and cuddle a lot but if your pets dont get along like mine did at first then I am perfectly equipped to separate them and care for them individually.

About: I have taken care of many animals of all sizes and ages, as well as had many of my own. I was a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with dealing with dogs. I have also volunteered at the animal shelter :) I work part-time and have lots of time to take care of pets, as well as take them outside and let them get some energy out of their system :). I have a fenced yard and access to a dog park if needed. I am able to crate dogs if needed and adjust to their feeding, playing and bathroom schedules as requested!

About: I have experience taking care of two dogs in my home every day. I feed them, bathe them, take them outside, and give them their medicine on time when needed. I am very patient, responsible, and attentive with pets. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Right now I’m a high school student. I go to school from 7:30 AM to 2:30PM. After that, I’m available from 2:30PM until around 10:00 PM to walk dogs. I have a flexible schedule after school, so I can fit walks into the owner’s needs and make sure your dog gets attention, exercise, and a good daily routine. I provide a safe and calm environment for dogs. I have a fenced yard where dogs can stay safely under supervision. I also have experience with dogs and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My main goal is to make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and happy during their walk and time with me.

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 17 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Stafford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Stafford on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Stafford. 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 Stafford. 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 Stafford.

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 Stafford. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
