“Erin has been an amazing daily walker for our dog Penny! She is always very responsive and reliable, and super sweet with our girl. Penny also recently spent the weekend boarding at Erin’s house, and she was treated very well and made some new friends! We will definitely continue to use Erin for taking care of our puppy.”

About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My soul-dog passed away last year and I would like to spend time taking care of your soul-dog. <3 I am well versed in reward based/clicker training. I can handle larger dogs and know to give reactive dogs the space they need. I like walking in the woods and on trails and would love to take your pup on a walk. I usually work in person 3 days a week and the other 4 days I spend working for myself from home or doing other hobbies. I have a very flexible schedule that works well for drop in visits/walks. I care for your pets like they are my own. I am patient, calm, and loving to all animals. My goal is to make their care as close to normal life for them as possible.

My pup is wary of new people and is working through separation anxiety but by the second visit she was super excited to see Heather for their walks. Such a relief for me to know she’s in such good hands when I am away.”

About: Happy Trails & Wagging Tails Hello, I'm Jess, and I love being outdoors just as much as your dog does. If there's a trail to hike, a route to run, or a bike path to cruise, I would love to have your four-legged friend along for the adventure. Why your pup will have a blast: Your dog won't be stuck on the couch while you're away. Depending on their energy level and age, they'll get adventurous runs and hikes, a fun fetch playtime, or a gentle walk around the block, and of course plenty of cuddles when it's time to wind down. I'll happily match your dog's pace, whether that's a trail-loving athlete or a laid-back senior who prefers a sniffari-stroll. Why you can trust me: For the past 5 years, I've been caring for my friends' dogs, from quick walks and feeding check-ins to long overnight stays. I'm comfortable sticking to your dog's routine, following feeding and medication instructions and schedules, and keeping a close eye on how they're doing. You'll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. A little about me: I'm active, reliable, and definitely the girl asking if I can pet your dog. If you run into me around town, it will most likely be out on the trails, in the climbing gym, or yoga studio. Or possibly the farmers market, or local community events around town. My main activities are running, hiking, backpacking, swimming, biking, climbing and mountaineering, and the more relaxing at-home hobbies include, baking, sewing, crafts, and planning fun girls nights with my friends. Send me a message if you're interested in setting up a meet and greet! I'd love to meet you and your best friend. I'm currently (recently) unemployed , and looking for pet-care to be somewhat of a part-time endeavor while I work on establishing self-employment working from home. With that said, I have lots of flexibility with my time and availability to work with your schedule and daily/weekly routines and needs. I have both had dogs stay with me in my home. I live in a 2 story townhouse with a small back patio. I have kept small and large dogs here without any issue. Usually I take dogs on a bathroom walk around the neighborhood, and for running or hiking, take them on trails. I have a running/bungee leash I use for running, but can use whatever harness, collar, and leash is preferred by the dog and owner. I have room for a crate if needed for overnight stays, but it would need to be provided as I do not own one. I have an SUV, and room for a dog bed and can hold a large dog in the back to transport for hikes or trail runs as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

We have a reactive and anxious dog, and I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. As soon as I met Michael I felt totally comfortable with him caring for my dog. He took the time to get to know her with a couple drop in visits before watching her for a weekend. He listens to instructions well and you can definitely tell he loves all animals. We will continue to use Michael for daily walks and when we are out of town.

Matthew did a great job walking our dog Mulligan. he was prompt, communicative, and Mully took to him quickly. each time Matthew came over, Mully got really happy and bouncy as soon as he saw Matthew coming up the patio steps. and each time he returned with a big doggy smile on his face, then promptly fell in to a deep sleep that only comes after a great walk. :) we will definitely use Matthew again if we need walking help with Mully.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sudden Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sudden Valley on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $34 per walk. 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 October 2026, there are 943 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sudden Valley. 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 Sudden Valley. 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 Sudden Valley 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 Sudden Valley. On Rover:

  • 99% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
