“Caron is the absolute best!! She helped us with walking our Newfoundland on super short notice for a few days. She was so considerate in the way she cared for our baby- refreshing her water and taking lots of extra steps to make sure our pup was happy before she left. The pictures and text updates were definitely appreciated too. We will absolutely be seeking out Caron’s help for any future needs!”


“Cheryl is great and was a huge help with my ever changing schedule and her ability to work with that was great. Highly recommend her for anything regarding to pups. She was great with my pup and I couldn’t have asked for a better person!”

About: As a dog owner for the past 20 years I know the stress of worrying about your pets when you can't take them with you. I want to take some of that stress and worry away by providing a fun loving place for your pets to stay. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15 years. As a stay at home mom your pets will get a lot of love and attention. I also have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. Rest assured your pets will be well loved and cared for while you are away. I currently work for myself from home, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility. Also, my two teens are usually home in the afternoons and on the weekends so there’s always somebody here with the animals. . I have two beagles that are super chill and super friendly. I also have a huge yard on a corner cul-de-sac that’s completely fenced in so there’s plenty of room for them to run around in the backyard as well as take daily walks.
About: I love animals. All of them! I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I love spending time with animals, loving on them, playing with them and teaching them new tricks! It would be a privilege to care and love on your furbaby while you are at work, out of town or just need a few hours to yourself! I prefer to stay local in the Niceville,FL area. I am willing to accomodate Destin but depends how far the client is. Let me care for your furry family member today! Now that I am a stay at home mother and wife, I have a lot more free time to devote in caring for your pet. My schedule is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I would be more than excited to love on your furry friend today! I have a fenced in yard with ample room for your pet to roam around in. I also am able to crate your pet if need be. You would just need to provide the crate and anything else you would want your pet to have to make sure his/her stay is a comfortable one.

About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands
“Rebekah was so wonderful with our pups when she watched them on our recent vacation. She communicated and sent pictures with each visit of all the fun they were having. Seeing that they were being taken such good care of really helped me to enjoy my trip. She made sure to ask questions to make sure any special instructions were clear and really made everything just right bc when we returned home, the dogs were just as happy as they could be! Rebekah's love of animals is evident by the way she interacts with them, and especially the ease with which she was able to bond with and handle my sweet, but beastly, German Shepherd lol. I will definitely be booking with Rebekah again and I know my dogs will be excited when I do!”

About: Previously worked for a doggy daycare. Many years of experience and knowledge with different breeds and dog behaviors. Loves all shapes and sized dogs! Also available for baths & nail trims. LOCATED IN TARTESSO - just a psa for all my tartesso neighbors, I’m in the area. & for everyone else it’s kind of a drive to get here but a nice little stop if you’re heading to LA! I work mornings during the weekdays so I’m limited to the times I can do drop ins and walks during the week. Can do it all on the weekends! Very accommodating and anything can be arranged. Very large fenced in backyard with a doggy door! I have a two year old Cane Corso mix who is the friendliest boy you’ll ever meet and would love a buddy to play with for the day. Dog isn’t friendly? No worries, we’ll equipped to keep my pup separate if needed.
About: Dogs are the best. I have had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 little guys (9yr and 14yr). No matter where I go I always find the dogs! If your pup is friendly, they’ll get along great with mine! Currently relocated here for a job and unfortunately that didn’t work out. I’m currently searching for the next career move, and I would love for that to be taking care of your pup! Obviously listening to the advice of the parent first, my house is their house, for all friendly pups! I have a large fenced in back yard with flood lights all around.
About: I have taken care of dogs for years. I believe they are apart of your family and are your children. Last year I watched about 15 dogs at one time back to back for the holidays! They all slept in my bed. I have had dogs in every size from big black labs to small chihuahua. I have watched several dogs that have had to have medication. I have taken care of a pup and put 4 drops in each eye 3 times a day.I have taken care of a sweet pup that was blind so I had to clap for it to get its way around. I absolutely love animals and showing them that they matter. I stay at home with my two children that also love animals so my schedule is always open. I am very flexible for your convenience. If I am away from my home it's mainly in the evenings or to take my kids to appts which varies. I have a fenced-in backyard on Travis AFB that looks out to the hills and trains along with several dog parks around me. I also have a big garage where if it rains they can be played within a big open space as in fetch or tug of war!! I love to send so many pictures and videos to the dog mommy and daddy also, so you won't have to worry about how they are doing! I have two children aged 3 & 1 that adore dogs and are great with them. Our little 8 lb Shih Tzu puppy will also be around, she sleeps in a play yard and is very well with other dogs. My husband also lives in the household but is gone during the day. We love to go on walks and runs every day!!! We LOVE the outdoors.
About: I offer a level of expertise that goes far beyond a standard walk. My journey began with training and caring for German Shepherds at a tender age, which taught me the importance of clear communication and specialized handling. I specialize in high-energy dogs and pups that just need a little more intention to their development. Drawing inspiration from professional handlers like Cesar Milan, I incorporate cycling and movement to help high-energy, stubborn, or anxious 'fur babies' find their calm through physical fulfillment. I am also experienced in clinical support, including administering pills, topical treatments, and injections. Whether your dog is a high-performance athlete needing a bike run or a senior dealing with cognitive or mobility decline, I provide the seasoned, non-judgmental, and unconditional care they deserve. I live by the philosophy that a fulfilled dog is a happy dog, and I treat every client's pet with the same patience I give my own reactive pup. Pet care isn't just a job; it’s the core of my daily routine. Because I focus exclusively on mobile care (visits and walks), my entire day is structured around my 'Roaming Rover' missions. My mornings and afternoons are dedicated to high-energy exercise sessions—like cycling or brisk walks—ensuring your dogs are physically and mentally tired by the time you get home. Because I don’t board dogs in my own home, my schedule is 100% open to prioritize your pets in their most comfortable environment: yours. I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by conducting a full sweep of the dog’s surroundings upon entry. I carry a professional-grade first aid kit, including cooling gear and medical essentials, to handle the Florida heat. My years of experience means I am hyper-aware of environmental triggers, ensuring your pet remains secure, hydrated, and calm throughout our entire session.
About: **Loving Care When You're Not There: Your Pet's Home Away from Home** I am a retired AF veteran and have flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, especially on the weekends and holidays. I can be available at any time. I have a huge backyard and a clutter free home. Also I have a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur baby company. I have an extra large crate and a cat tree, in case your baby needs it. Plenty of toys, snacks and cuddles.
About: I don’t just love dogs—I understand them. With a decade of experience in dog training, behavioral rehabilitation, and managing a full-service dog daycare and boarding facility, I’ve cared for dogs of every age, breed, size, and personality. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, anxious pets, and those with special behavioral needs, I know how to create a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog can feel comfortable. I'm currently a part of a training team here locally that works with dogs who need basic obedience, work on reactivity, and aggression issues. Not only focusing on the actions of the dog but bridging the gap between parents and their pets to have a more fulfilling life together. I have a fenced in shaded yard with plenty of space to explore or play fetch. We also live on 10 acres with a short trail to a food plot if your pup prefers a leashed walk. As well as 4 ft X 5 ft structured kennels for overnight care and a stainless steel tub and dryer to give them the spa day they deserve!
About: I love all animals! I have owned a chameleon, cat dog, hamster you name it I’ve had it. I enjoy animals so I can ensure your baby will be taken care of as my own! My availability is from Monday - Thursday 6:00am - 3:30pm! :) Friday I’m completely available! :) If needed I can also do 10:00pm - 1:00am I had four cats and they had their own room! They had plenty of cat toys and many cat trees. They are my children so there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Valparaiso is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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 735 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Valparaiso. 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 Valparaiso. 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 Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
