“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Ainsley! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with paws—giving me firsthand experience raising energetic puppies, keeping up with active adult dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care to sweet senior dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for family members, treating their fur babies exactly like my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy brisk walk, a slow and sniff-filled stroll, or just some extra patience and TLC, I’ve got you covered. I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite walking buddy! I have a fairly open schedule while school is out for the summer! I’m available most mornings for check-ins and walks, and most evenings for over night care. I’m willing to adapt to any space! I have plenty of experience with all types of animals, and am confident that I can care for yours.
“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.”
“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.”

“Brianna and her sister are amazing! Milo loves going for walks with them and I know him and my cats are in good hands. They are super reliable, quick to respond and very sweet.

About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life. Ever since I was little I was taking care of them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and playing with them. I love spending time with dogs and playing around with them. At one point, I had 4 dogs in my house growing up, so I can handle if you have a few pets. Ive had older dogs and puppies, so I’m experienced in taking care of both. Right now, I have open availability. I’m available to drop by when needed or stay as long as I need to ensure your pets are properly taken care of. The apartment I’m living at is currently pet free, but growing up I had a fenced in back yard for our pets to run around in. We also would put them in their crate when we needed to go somewhere. I also have dog sat for people who did not have a fence, so when it came time for the dogs to go outside, I would put them on a leash.

If there are any special concerns you need me to know about your dog, please let me know before booking. Please provide the type of schedule and activity request you would like for your dog to see if I’m a good fit. Typical work M-F 8a-11a // 1p-3p come home for a two hour break. Home after 3p, all day on the weekends to hang out with the puppers. All holidays are off typically a four day weekend In my home they will be with me roaming around freely. I do not own a kennel or cages and allow pets on the furniture. I’m a chill individual and just hang out with the pets! I have a big enough yard to play catch to get some energy out!
About: I have been watching dogs for around 6 years and have been reliable to many clients to take the best care of their animals. I usually walk the animals along with spending the night if needed and will spend long hours with the pets. I currently am a full time student at Weber so in the evenings I have a lot of free time. I don’t have any set times or days so I can work around schedules pretty easily. I have a fenced backyard and a doggy door so my dogs can roam around freely as they please. I take one of my dogs on walks and the other one I play fetch with to make sure they get exercise they need.
“Hettie is wonderfully kind, sweet, timely, trustworthy, and the list goes on! We are so thankful we could leave town without worry that our furry child would be neglected. On short notice, and planned trips we will always request Hettie to care for our sweet boy! Thank you!!”
About: Pets are members of our family, and our family deserves to be taken care of. I absolutely adore animals, I have pets of my own, and they are my whole world. I have an adorable Maltese named Fizzgig and a Black Cat named Thackery Binx. Prior to this dog, I had a Maltese named Tinkerbell. I just want to be able to care for other animals as I have cared for mine. We all have responsibilities that keep us away from home most days, and we want to be sure our little fur babies are well-cared for in our absence. I can promise you that I will provide to their every need, and maybe even spoil them a little bit! I’m a published author, and I spend way too much time locked up inside writing. I need to get out and walk and have a break from the soul-sucking experience of sitting in front of the screen all day. I hate sitting idle. I have too much energy. Dogs have too much energy. It's a perfect match! I need something else to keep me moving in a day, and playing with precious animals seems like the perfect job! I can crate or leash dogs to ensure they will not run away, and if your cat is exclusively a house cat, I am well accustomed to keeping those quick felines from darting outdoors.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind and I love them all!! I have been dog sitting for 2 years now and also have my own animals that I love and take care of constantly. I also have a big back yard and lots of room in my home! I have had my own pets for my whole life so taking care of pets is my daily routine! I do work a part time job but it is early in the morning, so after that I go home and take care of my own pets. I have a fenced yard and lots of room in my home. I also have 2 dogs of my own that are small and very nice. I have many crates of all sizes if needed as well.
About: I am returning to Rover! I moved to UT in late 2024. I have since gotten married, started work, and established my life here, so it’s time to start pet sitting again! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was ten years old. For me, I really just love hanging out with animals and I am so glad that using Rover allows me to do just that! I will spend time playing, feeding, walking, and chilling with your pet! I am very comfortable with medication administration, special needs pets, and have a genuiene ability to connect with all dogs and cats. I really don't do this for money, I do this because I know how stressful it is to leave your pets with someone, and I want to make sure people get the care that I would want my own pets to receive! I work in Farmington from 8 AM- 5:00 PM Monday- Friday. During the week, it would be best for me to be with a dog who can be alone for at least 4 hours so I can go to work, let them out/ hang out during my lunch break, and then go back to work. Once I am off work I will not go anywhere. Also, my weekends are completely free, but I am happy to do stays during the week as long as you’re comfortable with my work schedule/ my going to work during the day. I Would love to hang out with your pet and provide them top notch care! I make sure to pay special attention to each pet I take care of, making sure they feel loved and safe when they are around me. I like to make sure that they get their exercise in as well! Not all pets need the same things. With my dogs, one just needs someone to sit with but the other needs someone to run around with. All dogs are unique so its important to me that I provide unique care based on their needs. Whether that is extra walks, extra pets, extra cuddles, or playing music during the day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Syracuse on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,967 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
- 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.
