“April was so nice and our girls loved her. Very easy to work with! She took them both on long walks and didn’t mind their puppy energy at all. We will def use her again!! Thank you very much April for taking good care of our girls.”

“I’m so happy that I found Christy to take care of my dog. She’s so reliable and communicates so well and of course she’s great with my pup She really makes me feel at ease knowing she’s coming by”

“Emily is so awesome! She’s dependable, kind, compassionate, and she takes all of the steps necessary to ensure the comfort of my pup! She doesn’t just walk my dog, she plays with him as well to make sure he’s mentally stimulated. She gives plenty of water breaks and is really flexible on hot days. Ronin has a blast with her! Thanks so much Emily!”


“Elizabeth had quite the scare today walking Iggy. Iggy went off happily with Aunt Liz for a first time walk. They had a good walk until Iggy saw 8 flying deer in our local park ( where I had asked her to walk Iggy). Iggy pulls when she sees deer and pulled a bit too hard and got loose. Elizabeth ran after her but Iggy runs pretty fast. She couldn’t contact me because it was my Sabbath. Therefore, Elizabeth called the police and asked local folks for help. Within half an hour, Iggy was found by the police near the park and returned to Elizabeth who had photos of Iggy to prove that she was Iggys dog walker. I picked Elizabeth as a dog walker because of her solid reviews. Despite this being a very scary situation, Elizabeth kept her cool snd did all the right things to get Iggy safely home. And the pics are adorable!!!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was four years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs, and my friends and family joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs seem to gravitate toward me everywhere I go. Whether I’m on vacation or just out running errands, I can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog I see. I’m also the kind of person who goes to a party and ends up spending most of my time playing with the dogs instead of socializing! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My childhood dog recently passed away after 16 wonderful years, and during her senior years I gave her daily medication, made sure our walks were comfortable with plenty of breaks, and, most importantly, gave her all the love and care she deserved. I also have a senior Chihuahua-Poodle mix who needs daily medication and occasional help getting onto the couch or bed, so I’m very comfortable caring for older dogs and understanding their unique needs. I also have a younger dog that I raised and helped potty train, and I’ve taught her several fun tricks, giving me experience with puppies and basic training as well. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and every owner feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so every day includes feeding them, taking them on walks, giving one of my senior dogs his daily medication, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they always have fresh water. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the past 10 years, including raising my own Bichon Frise for 8 years and hosting a British Shorthair cat in my home for 2 years. Friends and family often turn to me to help care for their pets—dogs, cats, and even more unusual animals—because they know I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just giving lots of love and playtime, I’m experienced and trustworthy. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I’m available every day to care for your dog or cat. With a flexible schedule, I can give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. My home has a spacious living room where your pup can play freely and safely. I’ll be by their side to keep them company, make them feel comfortable, and ensure they’re happy and cared for at all times. Our neighborhood also has beautiful green spaces—perfect for daily walks and outdoor fun.
About: I love all types of animals all shapes and sizes and welcome them into my home. I would be honored to have your pet in my care and would treat them as if they were my own. I would provide them with anything they needed and any type of service. I would never mistreat any living thing. I am able to care for animals with any type of special needs or if they need to be given any type of medication. I have a very flexible schedule, so if you needed me on very short notice, I would be there without a doubt. I really hope to be taken into consideration when a family needs their pet to be taken care of. I would be a great choice for your dog! 😊 Also, FYI, the prices on my profile can be negotiated, those were just the default settings so I left them as they were, let me know if you want to discuss different prices, I will be totally fine with that! I currently work at a Doggy Daycare/Pet Hotel so I am very used to being around pets of all shapes and sizes! My usual day consists of picking up after all the dogs, making their food feeding them. And of course, playing with them! my favorite part of my job is when it’s camp time for me and the dogs! I hang out with them in a playroom and we have so much fun that they’re so tired by the end of the day! I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to run around as much as they want! I also have a small cat and a pug. My pug is very friendly and will welcome your doggy with open paws 🥰
About: I strive to make the lives of our furry friends as fulfilling and fun as possible! I'm very comfortable taking care of any pet, and I have taken care of senior animals who require insulin shots and meticulous diets. One of my favorite electives at university was my 'Psychology of our Pets' class where we learned about how to best care for our furry friends and keep them active and healthy. I have owned dogs, cats, and even birds! Since I'm home from university for the summer, I'm pretty much available at the drop of a dime! While I would prefer a day's notice, I should be able to take care of your pet within two hours of your request. I believe that activities and fun are just as important for pets as they are for humans. Who wants to be stuck in their house all day? I know tons of dog-friendly walking trails, and I'd love to spend a few hours with them & make sure they are well-exercised. I've dealt with a lot of dietary restrictions for pets, so I can follow any directions very closely if needed. For Cats/Kittens, I have a few toys I'd be happy to bring, and even a harness if they want to explore outside for a few minutes!
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly reliable, communicated very well. was always on time and took such good care of our dog. I will definitely be calling her again.”

“Katherine was absolutely wonderful! She was reliable, pleasant and did a great job with both communicating and taking care of our lab. We always felt informed and reassured which made a big difference while we were out of town. I highly recommend Katherine.”

About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through. He has a very sweet side to him that always gives us hope and makes us love him more. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog sitting needs. Contact me and we can talk! I am currently off for the summer since I work in a school. I can spend time caring for and playing with fur babies. I can visit up to 4 times a day or have them stay at my house. I am available full-time from August 15th to August 29th. After the 29th, I will be available weekends only, Friday evening to Sunday evening. I have a fenced-in yard for exercise and fun. I no longer have dogs at home, so your pet will be the center of my attention! When I visit, I will make sure the water bowl is full and clean. I will feed at the proper times and clean up any messes. The rest of the time it will be spend time having fun with your pet.
About: I currently am a proud cat parent, but have taken care of my own, and other’s dogs since I was a kid. I would love to help out with any walking needs for your furry family member! No dog is too big or too small and I’m familiar with puppies and senior dogs as well. My main priority is healthy, happy pets! I currently work a full-time 9-5 hybrid schedule. I am available 5 pm onward on the weekdays, and flexible on weekends. Please reach out for morning availability as well, depending on location I may be able to accommodate you. I will utilize whatever walking materials (leash, harness, travel water bowls, etc.) that are preferred by you. I will happily provide these items if no unique preferences are requested.
About: Hi neighbors, I am new to the neighborhood and looking for new pups to love! I am a part time dog aunt (my brothers pup is a Yorkie) who I always take care of.

Travis works from home which allows us to offer constant companionship and supervision. Roberta is a teacher nearby, providing the ability to come home early for extra cuddles. We had a 10 year-old German shepherd mix named Marshall, that recently passed, that we adopted from a rescue at 8 weeks old so we have the ability and patience to host puppies. Marshall was our first family dog, Roberta grew up with multiple dogs caring for them from pups through seniors. Additionally, our 6 year-old daughter has enough energy to provide tons of additional fetch and chase time. We also have a 1 year old that can’t wait to get in on the action! We are able to (and love) having pups with special needs. Marshall's best friend was blind and we cared for him on many occasions. We can also administer medications and prepare specialized meals when needed. We have a large backyard that allows for plenty of jaunts and potty breaks.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have one dog and two cats. In high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped care for animals by cleaning, feeding, socializing, and helping with their daily needs. Through my volunteer experience and caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable working with animals of different ages, sizes and personalities. I am home from college for the summer, so I am extremely flexible to work with your schedule and make sure your pet is cared for when needed. My pets at home are extremely loved and my best friends. I understand that every animal is different, so safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will take the time to learn the pets routine so they will be comfortable in their environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Cottage
My sister referred Yhakerra to me and she was amazing with my semi anxious dog! We booked her for dog walking while I was traveling. She was patient and calm with my dog, she provided updates daily and was responsive. I 100% trust her and will be bookings again!

We booked a walk with Liana ahead of a longer term boarding for our pup, Lino. Liana and Lino hit it off right away, and she was immediately sensitive to Lino's personality and quirks, asking thoughtful questions that showed her level of care. Thanks Liana for putting us at ease and looking forward to Lino staying with you!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Valley Cottage on Rover is $19.98 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 .

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 Valley Cottage. 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 Valley Cottage.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valley Cottage. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
