“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: I can provide your dogs with plenty of play time, fun walks, snuggles, and my full attention. I can provide excellent care for dogs with dietary needs. I am able to give my attention each pet after school. On the weekends, I am able to stay with the pet(s) for 8+ hours, clean thier litter boxes, meet the needs of their feeding schedule, and give them my undivided attention. When caring for pets in the owners home, I will make sure the home stays tidy, make sure the pet sticks to his/hers normal routine, and help ease both owner and pet stress and anxiety by calling and/or sending pictures and updates to the owner so they can check in with their pets and so the pets can hear the owners voice.
“Nikki was great with our dog a few days ago. She was more than willing to help us out in a pinch as new clients. She is very thorough with her rover cards and responds quickly. We will definitely use her in the future if we need to!”
“Paul was excellent with Luna! He was very responsive and flexible with our timing needs. He sent pictures and used the walk update feature on rover so I could see exactly what Lunas walks looked like. Would definitely book with him again!”

One of my cats has chronic kidney disease, so I’m very experienced with medications, subcutaneous fluids, and close monitoring. I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs, giving oral medications. I truly value the human animal bond and treat every cat as if they were my own. I’m a strong communicator and provide regular updates and photos. I’m always happy to do a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for both you and your cat.

About: Hi, I'm Catilyn! 👋🐾 I've been caring for pets for several years professionally, and nothing makes me happier than helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion, I'm happy to provide the care that helps them feel at ease. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, senior pets, and multi-pet households, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and keeping up with feeding schedules and daily routines. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout my visits. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. I look forward to providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pets! I currently work full time in the evenings Thursday through Sunday, so my availability is a little different on those days. I’m still available for drop-in visits and house sitting, but I’m not able to care for dogs who need to be let outside or checked on during the time I’m at work. I’m happy to work with pets whose routines fit around my schedule, and I’m available more flexibly on my other days. My goal is always to make sure I can give each pet the attention and care they need! I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Providing reliable, consistent care is important to me, and I always make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, or any special requests. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet has fresh food and water, and give them plenty of love and attention based on their personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe and cared for. You'll receive regular photo and video updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in good hands while you're away.
“Heather was fantastic! She knew how to handle my young, strong Doberman with ease. I will definitely use her again to walk my boy and recommend her to family and friends. Thanks again Heather!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dependable dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on dog caretaking experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and care levels — from energetic pups to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and medication management. One thing that sets me apart is my flexibility while working remotely. I’m able to provide more consistent companionship and care throughout the day by working from your home when needed. Whether your dog needs potty breaks every few hours, lunchtime playtime, walks, medication administration, or simply someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I truly treat every pet as if they were my own family member. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry loved one, and I pride myself on being attentive, patient, reliable, and loving. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I have flexibility while working remotely. I’m able to provide more consistent companionship and care throughout the day by working from your home when needed. Monday through Friday I can work your pet’s schedule into my work day! On the weekends, I can be available whenever! I’m here to help as much as I can. My goal is to ensure your dog feels no different when I’m at a client’s home. The schedule, routines, and energy remain the same. I’m just a part time friend your dog can be excited to spend time with while their parents are away. I follow everything you need to ensure your dog is cared for and loved.
“Allison was very timely and professional. She was quick to communicate and had no issues with any changes of plans. We would recommend her to others and plan to reach back out to her in the future!”
About: As of recent, I no longer have any pets of my own full-time and will enjoy getting to spend time with yours! I have had pets almost all of my life, and always more than one at a time. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, small indoor pets, and birds. I also provide care for chickens, and feeding care for horses, goats, and sheep. For the past 8 years I have done overnight, extended stay pet sitting, drop in care, and boarding in my home for dogs or small animals who come with their home (for example guinea pigs). I can also provide transportation and care for animals attending special occasions or wanted as a part of photos (for example at a wedding). I have experience giving both oral and injected medications to dogs and cats. I work full time 8:30 - 4:30 but do work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can provide care before and after work as well as during the days when I work from home. I am also free most weekends. Because all animals are different, my first priority is to provide the type of care and services specific to their individual needs. I do have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. I love to go on walks / hikes with dogs.
About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been a pet lover ever since I was a kid. Currently, I take care of my childhood dog, Jordy, who's about 19 years old and has several health issues. He's a sweet loving rescue dog, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I am experienced with giving dogs medications, both liquid and solid, and cleaning them as needed. I understand that every dog has their own needs, and I am willing and able to give every dog the love they need, want, and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: Starting September through December of 2026, I will be booked every Tuesday afternoon & evening, as well as all day every Wednesday. I just graduated from Carthage College, so I have the entire summer to care for your pet! Whether that means staying overnight or walking them a few times a day, I'm ready to give them the care they need. I will make sure your pet is safe and secure in your home, making sure physical boundaries are maintained and secure. A safe pet is a happy pet!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I adopted my first dog, Ziggy in 2009. Unfortunately, Zig had special needs that cut his already short life even shorter. I made sure his days were filled with love, fun and all of the special care he needed. Ziggy inspired me to go on to adopt a kitty, eventually another dog and volunteer with a rescue. Animals are such sweet souls that can teach us so many things. I’m currently available for dog walks and drop in visits during the day and night on weekends. I’m also available weeknights at the moment for both as well. I’m available for walks from 30-60 minutes. I’m also able to stop by and do the basics or hang out and watch an episode of the Real Housewives with your fur baby if that’s what they prefer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Sussex on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,150 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sussex. 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 Sussex. 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 Sussex.
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 Sussex. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
