About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life! The level of personal care I give every animal sets me apart. I don’t just feed and walk your pets — I take time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I tailor my care to match what each pet needs most. I treat every furry friend like my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. I’m a stay at home mom and I’m home pretty much everyday. So I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My home is safe, welcoming, and full of love, and each pet gets the individual attention they deserve. We make sure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. • Family Time & Play: Your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, and fun activities with all of us. • Feeding & Health: I follow your pet’s routine, including meals and medications, to keep them healthy and comfortable. • Exercise & Adventure: Dogs enjoy walks, yard play, and indoor games, while cats and smaller pets get enriching activities tailored just for them. • Comfort & Safety: Your pet will have cozy spaces to rest and feel secure with our family. I have a huge backyard for play and plenty of room inside our home. . Pet Care At Clients Home: When I take care of pets in your home, my goal is to provide love, attention, and consistency while respecting your pet’s routine. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. • Updates for You: We love sending photos and messages so you can see your pet thriving while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet in my home feels loved, safe, and happy—just like they would with their own family.

About: Growing up, my dog was my best friend. We went on all sorts of adventures together and I loved every moment of it. Now, I miss it. I’d love a chance to share my passion for taking care of your pets with you. I have 10+ years experience caring for both dogs and cats (also birds, hamsters, fish, rabbits, who’s counting?). I am very adaptable to any situation your pet may throw my way. I am friendly, enthusiastic, flexible, a great communicator and wonderful pet sitter. If you have any questions, send me a message! I respond right away. My work schedule is entirely flexible. When I am not working, I am typically at home, spending time with my partner and cats. My extreme flexibility makes a perfect fit for those days when your pet may need some extra care. I am very adaptable :) Due to living in an apartment complex, I am unable to provide boarding services. Outside of this, I take wonderful care for all types of animals. I am very respectful of everyone’s space. I always communicate with others when I arrive somewhere, when there are concerns, and when I am leaving. I also can grab mail, take out the garbage, and make it look like I was never even there lol!

About: I have had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and hamsters. My entire family is incredibly passionate about animals and I’ve always answered the question “what do you want to do when you grow up?” with “pet cats and dogs.” Taking care of animals is incredibly fulfilling for me and I rely on them just as much as they rely on me. I have two cats and two dogs and they’re my entire world, and I just want to spread the love I have for animals as much as I can. I am currently unemployed so just working side jobs and have some appointments here and there so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. I have two cats and two dogs of my own that I spoil day in and day out so I’m used to all that having pets brings with it.

About: I've always been surrounded by animals. I have experience with puppies, kitties, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and large breed dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies! I am available to love on your babies full time! Whatever their routine is, we will be able to stick to it. I am happy to stay overnight with your babies, or get to them as early as needed. I will make sure all their needs are met. Food and water will always be handled as instructed, play time and pets go without saying, and a potty break will never be missed! I have been in a situation where my sitter did not let my dogs out in a timely manner, and I would not put someone through that stress. Your babies don't deserve that!

About: I have a sweet cat named Pepper and an energetic orange cat named Turmeric that lives with me and I grew up with a small terrier. I have always taken care of my neighbors pets growing up while they were away and I do the same for my neighbors today here in Buffalo! They have even connected me with their own friends as well. It has become something I love doing-helping out and getting lots of licks and cuddles as well! I have experience caring for older pets who need special accommodations as well as administering medications or giving any such as insulin shots and SSRI’s I am available for any walks, chow time or playtime on weekends anytime and after 4:30pm on weeks days but I can be very flexible and help out in mornings before my day job as well! Unfortunately, I have a furry friend at home that may not be open to sharing a space but I am happy to help out any furry friend in your home! I always make sure my pets are in good care and have everything they need to be happy 😊

About: All 3 of my animals I've owned throughout my life have lived full, happy lives. They also, however, required close supervision. Both cats were outdoor cats which required consistent grooming, tick repellant, and even medicine administration for when they ate something they shouldn't have, or developed infections (administering pills to a cat is a skill I'm proud to put on my resume.) My dog Connor developed an autoimmune disease, and required prednisone administration daily. He was also a very reactive dog to other dogs, so those behaviors I am very well-versed in handling. The same can be said for my partner's family's two dogs (black lab mix and white Dogo Argentino), and my sister's pug mix. Dogs are reactive for a reason and I do not judge them for it, I'm happy to accommodate their predispositions. I work completely remote (and to be truthful it's a pretty chill job day to day) so I'd consider myself the best option as someone who has a full time job outside of Rover! Plus, I love the company of pet sitting during the week. I'm of the belief that cats and dogs belong on the couch and the bed, so in my home they are allowed wherever they please. That being said, if you have more strict rules for your animals either inside my home or yours, I completely understand and have no problem carrying out your wishes (obviously.) My care style is attentive. I know that's another obvious answer, but I've always loved interacting with animals, playing with them, etc. It makes me happy.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I currently have two big, lovable dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—as well as two cats, so I know how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll get personalized attention and care like one of my own. Hi there! My name is Isabella , and I’m a professional hairstylist working Wednesday through Saturday. On my days off, I’m looking to spend more time doing something else I love—caring for animals. As someone who has had pets my entire life and currently owns two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso) and two cats, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your furry family members. I’d love the opportunity to help out with dog walking or pet care when you need an extra hand. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Then when I was newly married I would watch friends and family's pets while they were away. I really enjoyed giving the pets attention and love like they were my own. I wanted both the owner and pet to not be stressed while away from each other but also have a good time! I feel I have the love and compassion for dogs to treat your pet the way I would want mine to be treated. You can trust me while you are away so you can have a less stressful vacation and your dog can have an enjoyable time home!! I hope I can help you and you pet feel comfortable during their stay here!

I’m committed to meeting your pet’s unique needs—whether that means checking in a few times a day, heading out for walks, or being a close companion while you’re away. I’m happily active, highly adaptable, and always focused on creating a safe, loving environment for your fur baby. You can count on me to be attentive, respectful, and clean in your space. Sometimes I’m not in Portland, but I keep my service area and calendar up to date.

Thank you Kendra. Reggie definitely appreciates the breaks you gave him. He is often anxious when we return but he was very content when you brought him back. We were able to enjoy Niagara Falls and the Bills game knowing that Reggie was walked and cared for. It was great meeting you. Your texts and photos kept me confident of his care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Tonawanda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Tonawanda is $12 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $17 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 889 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tonawanda. 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 Tonawanda. 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 Tonawanda 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 Tonawanda. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
