About: I have been watching over pups of all ages from a few weeks old to senior pup ages giving them all the cuddles, exercise, and snacking of fruits and vegetables to keep them on their toes. There's always time to relax and rest when I close up the curtains and change the lights to a nice dog cartoon or video for them to fall asleep to or cool down from the sun. I have been a foster parent for pups with my husband for about 2 years and never looked back, we have fostered over 12 pups of all ages to families all over the valley and continue to do so until we move to Oregon. I make home made food and treats depending on what I have available at the moment and provide them with different varieties of snacks that are healthy for them. I give them my attention and my fur babies get to play and socialize with everyone welcoming everyone and sharing all their toys🥰 I am currently staying home while my husband works and I do insta cart shopping depending on the day. And looking into getting my masters online so I have plenty of time to give them the attention they need. I have crates and gates depending on the pups needs. I have my home set up to section off pups if they need time to relax or go and play with others without bothering anyone else.

About: I’ve have experience taking care of strays and housesitting for family and I always make sure when I have to feed them, what I have to look out for, what I have to do while I’m in their home and I’m very responsible and respectful. I have school during 8 am and 4:30 pm. So from 5:00 till 7pm on weekdays is when I can be fit in my schedule. Now on weekends, I'm free all day Sunday and Saturday. I care for my cats safety inside cause my dogs most stay outside but I do clean them when they are really dirty and when it's really hot weather nor cold weather outside I will bring them inside.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, geckos, hamsters, fish, ducks, and rabbits. Animals have always been a big part of my home, and I treat every pet like family. Currently, I share my home with three cats and a dachshund, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, and lots of love when it comes to pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m currently working from home so I have the flexibility to provide care to any fur babies. I like to wake up early so I can start my day off right and give pets the needed routine for an active and healthy day. Although it’s not very large, I have a fenced yard, which will allow for fur babies to play or simply soak up some fresh air. I also live minutes from the Station 86 dog park as well as have a grass area in my community, which is gated.

About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had a dog and my family friends have always asked me to take care of their dogs while away. I adapt to any special instructions you may have and am very attentive to them. I believe that dogs are such amazing animals and they deserve the best care!! I work part time right now and do online school at the same time so my schedule is quite flexible. I drive and have a mini suv so if need be I can transport your dog and even take them to vet visits! I am able to check on your dogs throughout the day whether it’s to take them outside, feed them, or take them on a walk.

About: I have taken care of my family members’ and friends’ dogs. I take them out for walks and follow their schedule, if they have one. I am a part time student and can look after and or check in with your pets whenever needed depending on my own personal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a friendly dog who is well-socialized with other animals. I always supervise interactions and closely monitor pets for any unusual behaviors or signs of stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, to help your pet(s) feel secure and comfortable.

About: I've been caring for pets since 2021. One of my sisters has a tuxedo cat, and my other sister has two French Bulldogs. Whenever their schedules get busy, they know they can count on me to look after their pets and make sure they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply giving them companionship and affection, I always do my best to make them feel loved and at ease. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets. I’m a college student currently unemployed, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate time to providing pets with walks, care, attention, and companionship. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. In a client’s home, I will follow their instructions closely, respect their space, and maintain their pet’s normal routine. I make sure pets receive proper attention, care, and supervision while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.

About: I love dogs as family, I am patient and caring, peace of mind guaranteed. I’ve have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs who require extra care. My husband and I work from home. He tends to his landscaping business and I work at Walter Clark. Being home allows us to spend time with the dogs and to give them the attention and care that they require. I have a big yard with grass which is great for dogs to run and play, as well as a spare room with toys and air conditioner.

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

About: I am a cat mom to a bengal cat named Tango. Tango’s favorite activities include playing fetch, taking walks along the Seine (he’s just returned from 2 years in Paris) and play dates with his homies Hammy & Otie (dogs). 🫶🏼 Tango aspires to be a Royal Canin model. We live in a house in La Quinta with a fenced yard, great for playing and exercise while confined. Residential neighborhood near old town and the park. Great area for walks, safe and clean. I mostly work from home, unless I have to travel. Otherwise I am available all hours and can schedule according to your pets specific needs. I care for all pets the same way I would want my kitty cared for. My cat is like my child, he has a very unique personality and style that I have fostered since I got him. I approach each animal according to their unique personality and their owner’s caretaking style.

About: Human to Shadow, a 6 year old male. After adopting him as a 6 week old puppy, I became fully invested in learning more about how I can provide my pups with the best care while enjoying life together. I understand it can be difficult to finding the best match for the needs of your pups while you are away which is why I joined Rover as a sitter. My schedule for day drop in visits are by case to case, however, my evenings and nights are very flexible. For full day services, I am available Friday-Sunday. My goal is for pets to feel as comfortable as they are with their humans. I will follow any instructions provided and will ask questions as needed to ensure that the pets routine and environment are not disrupted.

About: I love dogs and grew up having all types of breeds but I am any pet friendly. I have had snakes, tortoises, a bunny and now I have a cat! My dog knowledge comes mostly from personal experience that I have optained from my lifetime of being a pet owner. At the moment I don't have a doggy in my life but I need one. I would love to practice my trading, playing and dog walking until I can add a dog to my life but in the meantime I'll enjoy the company of any doggy that will let me. My schedule is very free and flexible. I work part time and do some volunteer work so even though I'm available 90 percent of the time knowing ahead of time what pet might need some attention would be very helpful. Now I have a fenced yard. It's small but there is a park just down the street. To keep the pet in my home, it would need to be crate trained since I have a cat indoors (at least I can know that both pets are safe. And if it's at a clients home then whatever works for the pet and owner. That may be preferable but it all depends

About: Hello my name is Jenny, I've taken care of a few dogs through my high school years and cats. My family friends have relied on me to take care of their pets and their home. I have four dogs of my own who I love very much. I have experience with senior dogs who need more assistance than others. My dog walks with three legs, she is blind from one eye, and she cannot hear very well so she needs a lot of my attention especially because she is an older dog. I am able to bathe them, trim their nails (if they have clear nails), and I am very patient with puppies as well. I have a few loyal customers and they usually let me know ahead of time when they need me to pet sit so me schedule is mostly flexible. I am a college student and I have other priorities, but pet sitting will be my source of income so my schedule will be flexible through my daily and weekly routine. I have four dogs of my own, two male and two female dogs. Two of my dogs are very play full, they can get frustrate around other dogs because they are not used to new dogs around the house, but I could easily crate your pet. I do have access to a doggy door, so they come in and out as they please. I do not have a feeding schedule for my dogs because they have their bowl full throughout the day and night. My dogs are well behaved, but my two male dogs are not operated and most of my clients don't want their female dogs close to them which is understandable. One of my female dogs is old and can barely walk so she isn't around hypered dogs because I am afraid she will get hurt and she has been hurt in the past by pets I have cared for. Depending how your pet is around with other dogs it will be very rear for me to pet sit at my home.

About: Hi! So, here's a little about me and my experience with dogs. ~ I'm currently working at PetSmart as a professional certified Area Dog Trainer. ~Growing up I had a dog, a Bichon Frisè breed. I trained and competed in obedience and agility with my dog and other dogs. ~I discovered such a passion for animals that I decided to go to school and major in dog training (from dog sports to behavioural issues) , nutrition, animal behaviour, training, and health care for 3 years in Sweden. ~I've had multiple internships at doggie day cares/boardings and kennels all around Sweden and Ireland. I have worked with veterinarians where I've assisted during surgeries. ~I started my own business when I was 15 where I groomed dogs, trained agility/obedience, and taking dogs on adventurous day trips during my summer breaks. ~A special skill of mine is walking 9 dogs at once no matter what size, breed or age. ~For dogs that are nervous or shy - I have a lot of patience and I can easily go to their level and start to slowly build a connection with them. It's very important to me to build a connection with your furry companion to create a positive experience and to provide comfort for them. ~ My goal is to spread my knowledge throughout America to help dog owners to raise and teach their furry friends in a positive way. Animals have and will always be my biggest passion. My work hours at PetSmart as a full time dog trainer - the hours I will not be available are: Mon-Wed: 1PM - 8:30PM Sat: 9:30AM - 5:30PM Sun: 10:30AM - 6:30PM I have a one story single family home with a medium fenced yard. I live in a secure gated community with beautiful walking trails. All pets that I take care of receive a tremendous amount of attention, exercise, and care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Valerie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Valerie. 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 Valerie. 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 Valerie.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Valerie. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
