Ben has been taking excellent care of my puppy Dexter. He is only 9 weeks old and has a crazy amount of energy. He has been going in 2 times a day which is a lot! He always quickly responds when I reach out to him. I love the pics he sends because Dexter looks super happy. Thank you Ben!

Jeffrey is amazing! He was on time, personable and professional. He was patient with my dog and now Finn runs right away to Jeffrey. Rover is lucky to have him! As are we!

About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

We have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.

I just met Matt this year and he has been such a great support ! I work really long hours and was hesitant about finding a dog sitter as my dog is really selective with men. From one meet and greet my dog was comfortable with Matt & was friendly right away! Matt has been consistent and is extremely reliable & follows instructions! He makes sure remy is exhausted by the time he’s done and he also makes sure to give her her water breaks while on walks! I’m definitely sticking with Mat as a dog sitter. 🫶🏼 thank you for being there for my sweet girl !

About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic, owned some pets, so I'm comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can build my day around a pet's routine: walks, feeding, and medication times, rather than fitting them around mine. Consistency and presence are important to me, especially for animals who do best with a steady routine. I adjust care to each pet's comfort and energy level, including 30 minutes of fetch in a fenced yard, 30- to 45-minute leashed walks, or a leashed hike if they're up for it (if the weather permits). I stay attentive to their routine and needs throughout our time together, and I also offer baths or nail trims for an additional $20 if you'd like.

About: We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sterling

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sterling on Rover is $27.75 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 7,950 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sterling. 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 Sterling. 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 Sterling.

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 Sterling. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
