Cory is amazing with our little guy, Grayson. Cory sends tons of photos and videos, and leaves very detailed updates. He also is fine if I text him before/after his walk to give comments and feedback. We love working with Cory, and will continue doing so as long as he'll have us.

Lexi did great with Dove and gave us updates as she checked on our dog for a couple walks while we were out of town. It was an incredibly hot day and she took care of her to make sure she got outside but didn’t overheat.

About: I have a life of experience caring for my own animals including dogs, cats, newborn pups and kittens, a chinchilla, chickens, and geese! I regularly pet sit for my neighbor and have been asked to do the same by many friends. I have the summer off from teaching, so I am pretty flexible until late August! Then my schedule is limited to afternoons and evenings and may depend on location. I'm available to feed and play with your furry loved ones! I'm comfortable administering any medicine they may need as well. I've got it, no sweat!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and patient pet sitter with experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities—from super social and playful to more independent or shy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with: • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Litter box cleaning and maintenance • Playtime and enrichment (when they want it!) • Giving space to more reserved or anxious cats • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I’m very detail-oriented and will make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well. I do work full-time as an accountant, but my schedule is very flexible in how I structure my days around watching and caring your animals and their needs! I have a fenced in backyard where my dogs can play and relax without the worry of a leash or harness, and they have free roam of my home

About: I genuinely care about the well being of every dog in my care. I will treat every dog as if it was my own, which means lots of treats(if allowed) and lots of pets, belly scratches and cuddles(if tolerated). I am currently working part-time and healing. Unfortunately financially I need more income so I thought “why not try Rover and spend some time with dogs(which I love doing!)”. So ultimately I will make this fit into my schedule where I can. I’m pretty flexible currently. Give me a chance and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I ask clients to leave detailed instructions. I want to make sure that while you are gone your dogs/cats routine stays as close to normal as possible! If that means your dog goes to paws n pints for a play date on Wednesday @2 then I’ll load up lassie in the car and get there! If your cat gets 3 treats at 3pm everyday then we will make it happen! All joking aside, I aim to please!

About: I’ve house sat, animal sat, and dog walked since I was a teen for friends and family. I grew up on a small farm in middle of nowhere Alaska, so I have gotten to experience taking care of multiple different types of animals. I love all furry friends and even have a cat of my own, her name is Nina she is 3 years old and my best friend. If you choose me to look after your fur pal, I promise to love and care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time on my hands and would love to share it with your fur pal! I am available for walking and house/animal sitting. Integrity and honesty are my biggest policies. Communication is always a must, even about the little things to ensure the safety of you, your fur baby, and your home.

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

Carly was amazing with my boy Murphy! She was very diligent to ensure my requests for Murphy were upheld. She would message me and see whether I wanted Murphy left out or kenneled. She was constantly giving updates and for that I am thankful. I would recommend Carly to anyone seeking someone to care for their dog!

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

About: With a lifelong ownership of dogs and cats, my experience expanded into rescue fostering in 2021. During this time, I have successfully handled pets that deal with separation anxiety, reactivity, handicaps, and limited obedience/cooperation. I am genuinely excited to learn more about your pet(s), their specific care requirements, and their quirks. I’d love to have responsibility of being your trusted caretaker while you’re away! I am currently working fully remote so am able to do all activities through the weekdays, and have flexible hours on weekends. I’m available to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. My home is pet-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for your pet(s), especially if they don’t get along well with other animals. Drawing from my experience with reactive dogs, I am experienced in implementing safety measures during outdoor walks or encounters with other animals.

I needed someone to walk Nola on short notice, so I immediately thought of KY. She has watched and walked Nola in the past, she is always concerned with her safety and well being when ever she takes care of her. Nola really likes spending time with KY, I feel like she can sense how much KY genuinely cares for animals especially dogs.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and spent most of high school and college as the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and animals so nothing phases me! Now that I have a bit more flexibility in my schedule, I’m excited to get back to it. As a dog and cat mom myself, I know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind. Whether it's a quick walk, popping in for a welfare check, or house-sitting while you're on vacation, I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m also more than happy to accommodate quirky routines. For example, one of my own cats insists on playing a round of fetch every single night before letting us go to bed. Whatever your pets specific quirks are, I've got them covered! I'm currently working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. I'm available most of the day and all week (including weekends) Even if your house has a fenced in yard I am always present and alert when if comes to letting pets out and playing with them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Summerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 991 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Summerset. 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 Summerset. 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 Summerset.

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 Summerset. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
