My schedule is very flexible and I would be able to accommodate most requests with specific times that could be required to care for your pet I have a fenced in back patio that would suit a small dog. I live near parks that would be fun to walk to and play at for them.

About: My family has always had pets my whole life, including a dog for 14 years and 3 cats. I was always dealt the task of taking care of them so I am very familiar with pet sitting. I was very good/reliable so this job seemed like a natural choice for me. I am currently working at a gym, but only 17 hours a week so this will be more of my main priority. Other than the part time job I am free! I have a fenced yard with a lot of room to play, as well as a safe and comfortable neighborhood street for walks. I also have 2 very friendly cats that stay either outside or in my Mother’s room.

About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking for the past year and it’s become my favorite activity. I give careful, loving attention, and it’s a plus if the dog has been trained to respond to commands. I keep up with dog behavioral tips, carry essential items on-the-go, and you won’t find me scrolling on my phone during walks! I regularly walk a playful and adorable Labradoodle named Jerry. I don’t yet have a dog of my own but I will always make time for them. Simply put, dogs make life better! I’m a former librarian who enjoys helping others, and when I’m not walking, you’ll find me planning on volunteer committees, singing in choirs, and mentoring a fantastic teen. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch/pooches! My services include walking only, not pet sitting. Safety comes first, then fun. I am easily adaptable to following specific instructions or rules from each owner.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as an on-call pharmacy technician, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also enrolled in school with online classes, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for and keeping your pets company! I have the flexibility to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I have one dog at home and we have a doggy door that gives him access to our back yard that is fenced and gated.

About: I have hands-on experience with puppies who need routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from slower walks and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable with administering medication, sticking to detailed routines, and making sure pets feel safe in their own space. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible and dependable, able to provide regular visits, walks, or overnight care as needed. My schedule allows me to dedicate focused time to each pet, whether it’s for feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or simply giving attention and companionship. I prioritize consistency so pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet while caring for them in their own home. I follow all instructions closely, keep their space clean, and monitor pets for any signs of stress or health changes. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and ensure pets feel secure and comfortable throughout my visits. My calm, attentive approach builds trust with both pets and their owners, so you can feel confident your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands.

About: Hello! I love caring for peoples' pets! Recently relocated from Vermont. Certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, committed to ongoing professional development for safety, enrichment and pet care best practices. I offer services around a part-time job, so if I am available, I am not going to go to work that day. Dog Walking appointments are available during daylight hours unless otherwise arranged. I live close to downtown and can drive or bike to you as well. We have space for one or two small or medium dogs to stay with us or attend to dogs or cats of any size in their own home. If I am not staying over, I will schedule between 1-3 visits per day depending on the needs of the pet(s). My home is small and shared with my own dog, but we have a fenced yard. I will look after your pet(s) with safety and fun foremost in mind!

About: Hello! My name is Giselle; I am a 25-year-old full time medical assistant as well a part time student. I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I have two cats of my own, as well as small dog. I have had them since babies, so I have experience in raising animals, not only that but doing my research in order to be a great pet parent. I also have experience from working at a doggy day care. I had responsibilities to watch over small, medium and large dogs, feed, them and bathe them. I also have experience with dog boarding as I would also stay overnight some days of the week. One of the best jobs I have ever done. Ultimately my career will be in the medical field, but I hold working with animals close to my heart! I am currently on winter break, so with that being said I am open and more available than I would be during the semester! I am available weekends and weekday evenings since I work 8-5pm! I have a fenced yard, and pet proofed home. Since I have pets of my own, I have to be on top of their safety, so nothing I am not used to.

About: When I adopted my first dog he was incredibly nervous around people he is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,218 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Valley Ford. 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 Valley Ford. 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 , 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 Valley Ford 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 , 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 .

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

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
