About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

About: I’m ready to be a fur baby grandma and come spoil yours while you’re away!! <3 I brought home my first furry friend when I was about 10, his name was Fuzzy and he was a hamster. Many years later, I became the proud mama of two chihuahuas. They were males, named Bo and Max. My friend aptly labeled them land piranhas. Bo lived to be 16 and Max was almost 19. During the same time I rescued a cat, Napoleon, later in life he was diabetic and I gave him shots of insulin every 12hrs for years. He lived to be about 15. I adopted two ridgeback retrievers who grew up to be about 90lbs each, Dude (7) and Jethro (10). Jethro was diagnosed with a nerve sheath tumor in his hip and I administered pills in AM and PM. Over the years I’ve taken in 3 different stray kittens from my friend’s property. Einstein (11), Charlotte (10) and Gilly who is still alive and well at about 5 years old. I also currently care for Chloe, a 6 year old blue heeler who has a ton of energy! This is currently my primary focus for work so I can definitely be flexible to meet your needs and look forward to helping care for your pet(s). Routine is usually a big part of an animal’s comfort. I am committed to learning your routine and making sure your animal stays relaxed in your absence.

About: Hi! My name is Yasmin, and I absolutely love dogs. I grew up with them all my life and even have one currently. My dogs name is Maya she is a 5 year old Siberian Husky and is beautiful, energetic, and loves to play. I also have a 3 year old cat who I love and adore. I have years of experience as well as dog training. I love taking photos of pups and will definitely send pictures to you! I currently am a college student who has a lot of free time when not in class and would love to fill up my days with some furry friends! I work night shifts so I am able to care for pets in the morning and during the day. I also am a college student but most of my classes are online so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am very respectful and playful with all pets. I let them get to know me first before getting too cuddly with them. Once they are comfortable enough I love to play and cuddle.

Whether it’s snuggles, walks, or medications, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I care for pets like they’re my own keeping them on their routine with plenty of love, play, and attention.

About: I’m new to Rover, but caring for animals is a familiar and meaningful part of my life. I have cared for dogs of many different breeds and personalities, and my family and I have helped rescue more than a dozen dogs and cats, care for them, and find them loving homes. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide thoughtful, dependable care. I follow your instructions closely and aim to make your dog feel secure and welcome while you’re away. For boarding, I welcome only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time. This allows me to give your pets my undivided attention and provide a calm, personal experience. I have a resident cat, and if your dog is not comfortable around cats, I will keep my cat in a separate room throughout the stay. I’m retired, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a priority throughout the day. I can plan feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest around your dog’s usual routine. My home has a fenced yard, and a nearby park offers another option for walks, depending on your dog’s needs and comfort level. I board only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time, so your pets receive my undivided attention while you’re away. I follow your feeding and care instructions and provide regular potty breaks and walks suited to your dog. Outdoor time in my fenced yard is supervised. I have a resident cat. If your dog does not get along with cats, I will keep my cat safely in a separate room throughout the stay, with no direct contact between them. Before a booking, we will discuss your dog’s behavior, routines, and any special needs to make sure my home is a good fit.

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m committed to giving each one the individual attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of cuddles, or your cat prefers a calm environment, companionship, and a little extra patience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of care! I am in the military and I am currently in port and looking for some extra work just to help pay the bills. I can be there in the afternoon and evenings when I am not on duty but I can be there all day on weekends if I don’t have duty as well. I take them on walks and feed them daily. They have plenty of toys and are very active but also I may spoil them a little too much.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about six years now, I started helping my sister when she originally joined Rover. It got to the point where we had our regulars and their dogs became family to us! Long story short, she moved and I still have a few regulars, but I have some extra time on my hands because of my school schedule and am excited to meet some new pets :) I am currently a student at UF (last semester woohoo!) and have classes Tuesdays-Thursdays. All other days I am typically available, just need a bit of a heads up :) I also have some time midday Tuesday in between some classes. I always take care of dogs how I wish others would take care of mine. I am a strict rule follower and will care for your pets exactly how you want me to (plus some extra cuddles)! I will respect any of your wishes if you choose to book with me.

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

“Amber was Awesome. We contacted her on short notice,and she showed up right away to meet everyone on our little farm. Rynn our little 6lb Shorkie Poo took to her right away and he is usually the hard one because he is the boss, and Bodie the 100 lb Lab loves everyone. Plus the cat, bird and 11 ducks all loved her. We even found some of her own little treats she brought for he kids. If you are looking for a loving, caring, respectful person for your fur babies Amber is the one for you. Thanks you so much Amber Dave & Jen”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Starke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Starke is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 1,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Starke. 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 Starke. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Starke 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 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 Starke. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
