“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!!!”

This is why I have found pet care to be such a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for me. I have been a pet sitter for over 5 years and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds and ages. I am very attentive, love animals, and am comfortable with administering the necessary medications and providing assistance with light grooming. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to consistently providing complete care for our furry friends. I understand the importance of their mental health as well as their physical needs, so I utilize my special skills in positive reinforcement and puppy training when needed. I also have specific expertise in caring for seniors, giving them extra attention, and making sure they stay healthy and comfortable. These combined, along with my general knowledge and expertise, make me an exceptional pet caregiver. I am full time at home and I love the outdoors and pets, providing all the care they need during your time away. They will be loved and safe. aving pets in the home can be both rewarding and a great responsibility. Taking good care of pets involves giving them plenty of love and attention, providing them with a safe and comfortable home, and meeting all of their basic needs. Caring for pets in the home can be a challenge, but with a bit of planning, patience, and dedication, it can be a delightful and rewarding experience. In order to properly care for a pet in the home, it is important to establish a regular routine that includes providing adequate food and water, exercising the pet, providing regular grooming, and making sure they are kept clean and free of fleas and ticks. With the right environment, pets can thrive and have a happy, healthy life. Additionally, many pet owners should consider regular vet visits to ensure the pet is receiving optimum care. Other considerations may include providing the pet with toys and other activities for enrichment, having suitable places to do their “business” and providing companionship. The ultimate goal should be to provide a loving, safe home for your furry family member.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Syracuse is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Syracuse. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Syracuse after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
