“Robert is amazing, flexible and willing to help more than just walking the dog. When I had to deal with issues when I was in the hospital, he stepped up and was a blessing. I think my dog likes him more than me.”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

About: As a proud pet parent to my 2-year-old teacup Yorkie, Hailey, I understand that pets are so much more than animals—they’re family. Caring for Hailey has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting companion while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring hands until you’re back home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. While I work a rotating schedule, I plan my calendar well in advance, allowing me to commit only to bookings that I know I can fully dedicate my time and attention to. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, with availability varying by week. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I never overbook and always make sure your furry family member receives the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. When caring for your pet in the comfort of your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure and leaving it just as I found it. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, healthy, and in caring hands. My goal is for you to return home to a content pet and the peace of mind that they were treated like family every step of the way.

“Maria was great! Communicative, friendly, and reliable, good with dogs. Handled our large skittish but friendly dog very well for a productive walk (and they had never met!). Such a help when we were visiting from out of town but away for the evening. Thank you so much for the good communication and peace of mind.”

About: I’ve been around dogs/cats since i was able to walk, I absolutely adore any animal i cross paths with because they show nothing but unconditional love. When family members/friends/coworkers take vacations etc I am always the first to be asked because they know i will give their fur baby the best care while they are away. I’m a 911 dispatcher & tend to have days off during the week/weekends. I can be found helping tend to puppies with my dad, which can be quoted the handful, hanging out with his outside kitty’s or being a couch potato with my roomies dog at home. My dog Athena is 4 yrs old, she is kennel trained, potty trained & knows all the basic commands, along with being the best dog anyone could ask for. A lot of people say it but my animals are quite literally my entire world, so if the opportunity ever arose where someone trusted me to watch their animals, i wouldn’t hesitate to show the sweet babies so much love & care!

About: I have worked in pet care for 10yrs now! including grooming, corporate pet care and more. I have watched every animal you can think of(horses goats, reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, donkeys etc so no animal is out of my comfort zone! I am also cpr, first aid certified with dogs! I do pet sitting around my main commitments, so i can work around specific needs if planned ahead so I’m able to give pets the attention and care they need. I also plan my calendar carefully to avoid overbooking and ensure each pet gets quality time. When I pet sit in someone’s home, I treat their pets and space with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely to ensure the pets stay healthy and comfortable. I spend quality time playing with them, walking them if needed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages, water plants if requested, and provide regular updates and photos so the owners can relax knowing their pets and home are in good hands.

About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a parent and a pet owner myself, our home is always filled with love and structure. We specialize in boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits, so your pup will instantly become a part of our routine. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a massive open field perfect for leashed exploration, long-line fetch, and active outdoor time! Whether socializing with my dog, playing with my child, or running in the field, your pup will be safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a working parent who is also in school, our home operates on a reliable, structured routine built around my baby's schedule and my daily commitments. My school schedule is about to become much busier, I am highly focused on managing my time effectively. Please note that I may not always be able to respond to text messages immediately while I am in class or focused on work, but I will always check in and provide updates as soon as I am free! Because our days are busy, your pup will get a highly active experience—on days when I am completely washed with school or work activities, I often bring my guest pets along with me so they get extra socialization, stimulation, and real-world fun! My Care Standards: Boarding & Daycare (In My Home): Guest pets enjoy supervised playtime with my dog, kid-friendly interactions, and leashed outdoor exercise in our large open field. All guest dogs must be friendly with children and other pets. House Sitting (In Your Home): My house sitting service is primarily an overnight stay focused on evening companionship and morning routines, supplemented by a reliable midday check-in rather than constant 24/7 care. Drop-In Visits: I provide reliable, structured check-in blocks tailored around my daily routine to ensure consistent potty breaks, meals, and companionship in your pet's own home.I prioritize clear communication, strict safety, and a predictable routine for every pet in my care!

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sumter on Rover is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $21 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 of October 2026, there are 258 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sumter. 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 Sumter. 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 Sumter 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 Sumter. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
