“Finn gets so much joy when his friend Cassie comes! All I have to say is ‘guess who is here’ before she rings the bell and he runs to the front door, with his most excited barking and greets her with so much enthusiasm! And she gets more kisses from him than I do!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I am a mom to 5 kids, a dog and a cat. I have been a pet owner since I was a kid, I can't remember the last time I didn't have a pet. I am the primary caretaker of a border collie lab mix and mixed breed cat. I am preschool administrator in the area, so I can be flexible throughout the week and have lots of love to share with your furry family members. I am also active and will run, walk or play to help release your pets energy and love your pets while you are unable to. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. If you have any questions feel free to get in contact with me.
About: My wife and I love dogs and are active with local rescues. We have five dogs of our own at home, a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities! We have Lacy - a black lab, Goldie - a cocker spaniel, Cinder - a pit-bull mix, Timmy - a teacup yorkie, and our newest addition, Noelle - a golden doodle puppy. I have a flexible schedule and can usually fit in three or four drop-in visits a day. My wife and I are both in education, so we work hours that are conducive to a second job in pet care. My full time job is a middle school social studies teacher, so I have active background checks and certifications. In addition, we have three dogs at home that are certified therapy dogs and have their Canine Good Citizen certification. We make regular visits to local nursing homes with our pets.
“I recently hired Kerry as a dog walker for my Evan, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Kerry is incredibly reliable and professional. She also provides regular updates and is very communicative, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I've had two large-breed dogs for about 7 years. I'm experienced with their training, but also how dogs interact with other dogs and people. I'm familiar with walking large dogs and keeping them safe when exercising. I'm detail oriented, responsible and thorough. I am flexible with scheduling and have reliable transportation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,739 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:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
