“Sarah treated our dogs like they were her own - and we have one who doesn’t warm up to just anyone. He is picky. She was on time and very kind - we can definitely recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I’m so glad I did because Bill is amazing with my pups (I haven’t met Linda yet, but am looking forward to it)! This service was such a lifesaver to me when I was experiencing some mobility issues, but the bonus was that my boys loved it so much. They always came home happy, relaxed and sometimes even dancing a little puppy jig! It’s a big deal to me because one of my boys can be a handful, and the other is nervous and afraid of everything. Overall I think the experience was really positive for them to get some time socializing with someone besides me, and I hope to book Bill & Linda again in the future just to reinforce that positive experience.”
“Amy was wonderful on such short notice she gave my babies the enrichment they needed. She is very trustworthy, great with communication, and is very kind. Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you so much again!”
“We have world with Joyce for quite some time and Boomer loves her. She has a calm spirit, is punctual, knowledgeable about dogs, is flexible and allows this dog mom peace knowing Boomer is loved and well taken care of. We have used weekly for walks and periodically for home visits when gone for a weekend. Highly recommend🩷”
“Amber was great. She replied to my walking request promptly, arrived on time, and followed all my instructions. Amber was also very personable, and it is evident she loves animals and takes great care of them. By the photos she sent I could tell my Bubs was having a great time! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I joined Rover because I love caring for pets and wanted an opportunity to help other pet owners while spending time with animals. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained experience handling dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, liquids, eye medications, ear medications, topical treatments, and other prescribed medications as directed. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and health and understand the importance of maintaining routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care and give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I’m currently preparing for an upcoming move, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s care. This allows me to provide attentive visits, consistent routines, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I look forward to spending quality time with your pets and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. Before working as a veterinary assistant, I worked as an in-home caregiver, which gave me experience working in clients’ homes and taught me the importance of professionalism, respect, reliability, and clear communication. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same care and respect that I would want someone to show my own. I will carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and medication schedule, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications, liquids, eye medications, ear medications, and topical treatments as directed. My veterinary assistant experience also taught me how to safely handle pets, recognize signs of illness or discomfort, and stay calm in unexpected situations.
“Great Rover walker! Sarah was extremely competent and friendly. She made time to meet our dogs when we booked her less than a week in advance, and wore out our doggos. Thanks!”

About: Hi, my name is Kim and I am prior military. I have worked in veterinary clinics in the past for 6 years before I changed careers and would really love the chance to take care of your baby while you’re away! If you have any questions in particular please feel free to contact me! I am available most days of the week and weekends. I have worked with dogs for over 10 years and can read them very well. I have patience with puppies and I also have experience with senior and special needs dogs to include administering medications by mouth or subcutaneously. I have pets of my own, I let them out every morning and we play while outside with my kids. If I can, or if requested, I will walk them after work. I currently do not have dogs of my own and I have a fenced yard. Dogs will not be left in the yard unattended and the neighborhood is great for walking around. I temperament check all dogs I pet sit before booking.
“Kylie was awesome with our two big pups! Kylie updated us and was very attentive to our goldens. Loved getting the pics, they looked extremely happy and comfortable with her. Will definitely be reaching out to Kylie more in the future!”
About: Dogs are a huge part of my daily life. I have a multi-dog household and experience caring for dogs of different ages, including a senior dog. So, I understand how different personalities, energy levels, and needs can vary. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I tailer care to what makes them happiest. I'm especially comfortable with energetic dogs and maintaining structure so they feel calm, balanced, and secure. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe and loved. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a veteran who spends most of my time at home, I'm able to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. It brings a sense of purpose and calm to my routine. Because of that, I'm very present, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention. I'm home often, so pets are rarely left alone and get consistent care and companionship. In a client's home, I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that's feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I'm respectful of your home and always aim to keep your pet comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free while you're away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs and senior pets who may need a slower pace and extra care.

Responsive, professional, and reliable! Joyce is all we could have hoped for when we began our search for a weekly dog walker for our puppy. We particularly appreciated her willingness to learn our training approach so things remain consistent for him. Highly recommend Joyce as a caretaker for your pup.
Coal is a natural with animals. He has been filling in for my regular dog walker for the last month. He is personable, knowledgable and best of all my lab loved him. He responded quickly to requests or texts and kept me notified as well. Would highly recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Swantown on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,005 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Swantown. 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 Swantown. 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 Swantown.

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 Swantown. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
