About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my whole life. I have never known a moment without an animal in my life. My family and I have always had a dog. I have two dogs of my own right now. I worked at a dog kennel for two years. I took care of a hundred dogs at a time. I’ve given baths, clipped nails, brushed dog teeth. I notice behavior changes in animals and address them promptly. I notice when a dog doesn’t feel good. My dogs both know a few tricks and they are good boys. I have been trusted to watch my family and friends animals through out the years when they go out of town. I currently have two dogs. I’m looking to do Rover as much as possible right now while I look for another job. I am going to go to school in the Spring. I have a decent sized yard with leads. It is not fenced in but I hook my dogs up to the lead when they need to go out. At a clients home, I would do what they would ask of me and follow their requests.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for both adult dogs and puppies. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m familiar with potty training, crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and helping puppies learn good habits through patience and consistency. In the past, I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing loving care while they were away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I work remotely during the week, which gives me flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have availability on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, overnight care, or just some extra companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help your pet feel comfortable!

“My dog, who can be nervous, loved Brynna right away! She was a lifesaver, giving our Siberian Husky a potty break and walk on a day we had to be away. This is my first experience with Rover, and Brynna made it a great one! Thank you so much.”

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first when im caring for them in your home, follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide, 8-10 potty’s breaks and lots of attention. For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I have spent the last two years training my little pitbull-mix, Mac. He is my little furry baby, and I would love to give love and care to your babies too! When I am caring for your pet, I will treat them as they are my own. My number one priority is keeping them happy, healthy, safe, and sound! I am a full time law student, so some days are more in-class heavy than others but I am available most days of the week! Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I am usually available after 12pm (but this varies and can be flexible!) I frequently play frisbee with and walk my own dog, bathe him regularly, and keep him up to date on his heartworm, flea, and tick medication. I make sure he has plenty of brain toys and is both physically and mentally stimulated. I also provide lots of cuddles! I would love to do the same for your furry friend.

About: Growing up I always had dogs in my life from ones we had to nurse ourselves bc their mom's couldn't or the ones on my great grandpa's farm that I would stay outside all day running in corn fields with or laying outside with. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and always thought of as my equal. I learned a lot about different diets for different breeds we have had and I also worked as dog bathed for a PetSmart years ago. I always had a heart for the older dogs that were having joint problems and health problems. I always created a bond with them and felt for them. I love puppies too and caring for them like a mother.

“Declan has been absolutely wonderful with Phantom! He’s reliable, patient, and genuinely seems to care about making sure Phantom is comfortable and well cared for. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that while I’m at work, Phantom is getting a potty break, some attention, and quality time with someone I trust.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Timberlane

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Timberlane is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $19 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 832 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Timberlane. 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 Timberlane. 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 Timberlane 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Timberlane. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
