About: I’ve taken care of many dogs as a child and adult, my own dogs as well as those of family and friends. I’d love to help your pet stretch their legs, burn some energy or go on a casual walk My remote with schedule is very flexible so I’m able to come care for your dog on the schedule that fits their needs as well as yours. I can feed your pet, have some play time, take them out to use the bathroom, or go on a walk. If they are crated when you aren’t home, I can crate them too.

“Emalee saved the day! I was running late to get Goku out due to inclement weather and messaged Emalee at the last minute! Yay! She was able to cover his afternoon walk. Great job as always! Much appreciated!”

About: I’ve been around and have loved cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I also have 4-5 years of experience caring for farm animals, as well as small animals like rabbits, quinea pigs, and hedgehogs. I’m currently not working a day job, so my schedule is wide open to fit your needs! This may change in the future, but not without a plan to continue the care of your pets first. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard so I would prefer to watch your pup at your place! I’m very comfortable in new settings and will have no issue following our plan for your pet.

About: I have always had a soft spot for dogs and can't get enough puppy love. I have dog-sat for many of my close friends and family who have always been satisfied with my care because they truly know that I treat their pets like they are my own. They get specialized care and play time to ensure they are stimulated and happy. I have always had dogs growing up and have a dog of my own, named Stacy, who I enjoy spoiling. I’m currently working remote part time so I will have plenty of time to check in and play with your pup. We will go on walks at a relaxed pace so they can stop and smell the roses along the way. I am happy to take any steps to ensure your dog is stimulated, happy, and well cared for. Every dog has different needs and I will love to care for yours!

About: 🐾 Experienced Care From Someone Who Truly Loves Animals Hi! I’m Destiny, and I’m an animal lover with 12 years of hands-on pet-care experience. I’ve spent years caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from playful puppies and high-energy pups to seniors and anxious dogs. I currently have three dogs, one cat, and lots of reptiles of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can genuinely trust. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. I can provide: 🐶 Walks & daily exercise 🏡 Drop-in visits 💊 Oral medication administration 🐾 Care for senior dogs ❤️ Extra patience for anxious/high-energy pets 📸 Regular photo & care updates I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pet the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my priority. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾❤️ My schedule does fluctuate slightly, but mostly remains pretty open! I also can work around other people’s schedules pretty easily, and accommodate as much as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, routine, and individual needs throughout every visit. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, any medications or special instructions, allergies, triggers, and anything else I should know. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you promptly and follow the plan we’ve discussed.

About: I’m a veterinary professional with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, so I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and needs. I have experience giving medications, monitoring pets closely, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and handling nervous or high-energy animals. I’m also big on keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their normal routines, and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. Your pet will get the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day rather than just stopping by for a quick visit. I’m used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of cuddles. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I keep their space clean, follow feeding and medication instructions, provide walks, potty breaks, playtime and plenty of attention, and send regular updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also a veterinary professional, so I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and handling pets with different needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans

About: I have taken care of dogs as a drop in and while the family was on vacation. I also enjoy walking dogs. Also, have taken care and trained puppies and have catered to senior dogs.

I am semi-retired, I work at the Coal City schools as a recess monitor during the school year. I am very flexible with my time around recess hours. I don’t mind late night walks/drop ins (before 10pm) or early morning walks/drop ins. I am respectful of your home when coming to get your dog. I am respectful of your home and your yard.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly understand that every pup is different. I trained my own stubborn Yorkie with patience and consistency, and I currently care for my senior Golden Retriever who has hip issues so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and gentle, slower-paced seniors. Whether your dog needs structured walks, positive reinforcement, or a calm and patient pace, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy every step of the way. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure you feel completely comfortable while your pup is in my care. I’d love to meet your best friend! 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prioritize staying active and structured in my days — I regularly go to the gym and attend Bible study — which allows me to consistently plan walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests when possible. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust is, and I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always had a love for animals. My current dog, Ellie, is a 4-year-old Shih-Poo. Before Ellie, our family dog was Cora, who was also a Shih-Poo and lived to be 16 years old. I also volunteered at a local dog shelter for 4 months, where I walked and bathed dogs of all different sizes. I helped my dad train Ellie, and I regularly help with her bathing, walking, and grooming. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends while they’ve been away on vacation. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I would treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability for pet care is primarily on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 4 year old dog. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll also keep pet parents updated so they know how their pet is doing.

About: Hello! I'm excited to be with rover part time. I've been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 12 and I've been a dog groomer since 2018! And a dog mom since I've been in diapers 🥰 I am a full-time dog groomer with two dogs. I noticed how much it benefited them to have long walks even with a fenced in backyard. I want to be able to give this back to people in the community with their dogs. I can do early mornings and evenings. No pet sitting just dog walking 🥰. I can provide a harness or leash or will use ones provided. I am very familiar with proper walking techniques.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Symerton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,820 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Symerton. 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 Symerton. 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 Symerton.

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 Symerton. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
