“Kiersten is ALWAYS awesome! She’s always able to work with my schedule and has been great to work with with my puppy since the very beginning. She’s intuitive and adjusts well to situations like sick dogs.”
“Kaylee is amazing with my pup. Always good at communicating and very flexible with any changes I had. She was patient because my dog is a little shy and she really goes the extra mile to make sure she is comfortable. Thank you for everything! Highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby if you’re an anxious dog mom like me.”
“Once again another happy dog and owner. Booked a 1 hr walk but the weather turned crappy fast. Traylor and Jason had great communication with me and Traylor still wanted to give my dog a full hour! They did half walk/half car ride and it worked out perfect! Opal looks so happy Thanks so much! I am glad they watch out for Opal like she is their own!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over a decade, with a special love for senior pets and a soft spot for energetic kittens! I don’t mind messes, I have grooming tools handy for mats, and I’m a pro at cat nail trims. I’m also tall and strong enough to handle big dogs on walks with confidence. I’m happy to help with a few extras at no additional cost: watering plants, feeding fish, gathering eggs, picking up mail and packages, and taking trash cans to and from the curb. A few quick notes to keep things smooth: • Please let me know ahead of time if you have any cameras in the home. If I find cameras that weren’t disclosed, I may need to cancel the stay. • All pets must be included in the booking. No surprises, please. For everyone’s comfort and safety: I would never bring family or friends into your home without prior consent. If any adults or children will be present in your home during my stay, I must be informed before the booking is accepted. For my safety, I do not accept bookings where other individuals will be present. If I arrive and discover an undisclosed person in the home, I reserve the right to cancel the booking. Thanks for helping me keep things clear and comfortable for everyone, especially your pets! Due to family obligations, I am unable to provide overnight stays. Otherwise, my pet sitting schedule will work around my existing family schedule. If I have committed to you, rest assured, I will be there. When I am at client’s homes, pet care is 100% what the client would do if they were home. Cats will never go outside when I am there, and we will have feeding and snuggle time if they want. Hiding cats aren’t a problem, I will find them to verify they are okay. Dogs will be let outside in your yard or outside on a leash. I clean up poop and give lots of treats and praise.
“Kaylee is wonderful, she came and met my dog free of charge beforehand and spent time getting familiar with her. She is very communicative and reliable. Her love for animals is very clear. Thanks Kaylee!”
“Kiana has been a genuine gift to our family. We started with her about six months ago for our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer/French bulldog mix, Lucy — and over that time she became so much more than a dog walker. As Lucy’s health declined, Kiana adapted without hesitation — adjusting pace, duration, and handling — and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cared. You can tell the difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who sees your dog. Kiana saw Lucy. She was patient with her on the slow days, gentle when Lucy needed it most, and flexible with our schedules in ways that took real stress off our family during a really hard season. We’re grateful as a family for every walk she gave our girl. If you have a senior dog or one with changing needs, Kiana is exactly who you want in your corner.”
“Liz has been great with Vega. It took a couple visits for Vega to be comfortable with Liz as she does not like strangers or people in general! Vega is now letting Liz walk, pet, and cuddle with her!”
“We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!”
“Kerry was great !! He actually came to be introduced to my dogs prior and took some time to get to know them and see how the interacted. On the walk he was gentle and worked on the dogs behavior of pulling. Can’t recommend him enough to anyone with large dogs”
“Arielle was prompt in her communication and arrival. Her thorough report back after finishing her walk with Ayla was very appreciated. Wonderful first experience with Rover and Arielle.”
“I’ve used Kara for walks and boarding for my two dogs. Due to being a single dog mom with little access to help from friends or family, finding Kara has been a blessing! She handles my pups so well! She even has brought in packages on my porch if I’m not home. She goes above and beyond!”
“Grace always goes above and beyond with our girl Sammy! She is one of the best sitters/walkers we’ve had and I feel so good knowing Sammy gets some love and attention during the day when we are gone! Thanks Grace!”
About: Hi! My name is Jayne! I am a mom of 6 and grandma of 11. I have also been a dog owner for many years. I truly feel that they are part of the family and should be treated with love and respect. I have worked as a volunteer at the animal shelter as well as a professional dog walker. As I've worked with dogs, I've learned that each one is different. They each have their own personality and their needs can vary. I feel that dog owners know their dog best and I will listen and take advice on how to best care for their pet. I'm excited to start this adventure! I am retired and spend my spare time playing with grandkids! I have lots of extra time to assist families with pet care. I am available most days at any time! I am reliable and trustworthy. I am very aware of pet's needs and will create an environment where your pet will feel safe and loved.
About: Hello! I have worked as a professional dog trainer for over a year. I have worked with all ages and even dogs with special needs. I can care/train for your dog any time of the week. My schedule is very flexible and I can work weekends as well! Thank you I can come to your house to care for your pets. Take them potty and on walks. If you would like some training while you are gone I can do that as well. We can talk specifics if you need training.
“Ben is great!! My dog is a rescue and can be a bit skittish around strangers especially men, but Jethro isn’t scared seems to really like Ben and enjoys his visits with him. Ben has been walking and playing with my dog during visits and really trying to get to know my dog. I appreciate everything he has done and will continue booking him for weekly visits. Ben is definitely five stars!!”
“5/5, 10/10, 100/100 - Damn she's good! Dashia knows just how to handle Bowzer... After a long hard walk with her, it's nap time! :) When life gets busy, but your little fella still needs a good, long, and rewarding romp in the hills, there's nobody better than Dashia!”
About: I grew up with my mom finding strays to care for and finding them homes. I've always wanted my own. I've had my dog for 4 years and adopted my kitten a few months ago! I am mostly free on weekdays and most weekends so any day works for me to give your pets my undivided attention and my best care. I will be able to drop in and hang out with your pets as long, or as many times as needed to make them and yourself more comfortable!

Malaiyah was awesome with my dog! Booked with her last min and she responded quickly! Great communication and always on time ! I was very nervous to have someone else handle my high energy dog but she honestly handled him like a pro. Very impressed and will book again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Syracuse on Rover is $16.65 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 2,909 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Syracuse. 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 Syracuse. 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 Syracuse.

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 Syracuse. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
