“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!”
About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with strong attention to detail, excellent communication, and a passion for keeping pets safe, happy, and well-cared for. With years of experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and maintain a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with multiple daily walks and trips to the dog park twice a day for exercise and socialization. I also have two children and a friendly dog, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—so they stay comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Alex is wonderful folks! She is reliable, dependable and provides feedback almost instantly! She is great with larger dogs and she sends lots of photos and provides updates!!! We did a meet and greet and she seemed very comfortable with walking, feeding, letting them outside in yard, etc. I highly recommend her!! Alex thank you for taking care of Mason and Kaya!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dog breeds throughout my life. Ranging from bloodhounds, German shepherds, to Belgian Malinois and others. I’m very familiar with working dog breeds and have trained myself own Belgian Malinois. No matter what need your furry family member needs, I will ensure it is met and exceeded. Currently I’m in the Army National Guard so I have tons of availability and free time to devote to animals and pet care. I also spend tons of time outside and hiking with my Belgian Malinois. I have a wooden fully fenced in back yard. I also am familiar with escapee dogs and am very quick to respond to many situations when needed. I am not afraid of confrontation so that is not a worry either.
“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: I've been fostering puppies locally since 2022. All the effort and mess (let's be real) is worth it for puppy breath and dog snuggles. I prioritize socialization and I can reinforce basic skills. We have lots of toys and play outside too. I stay at home so I have lots of time to provide care and attention. I am not away from the house for more than an hour or so, for any dogs that need close attention. I have a fenced back yard and a dedicated room inside the home. I have a pen, a large crate as well as a medium crate.
“Absolute pleasure to have met Alexis!! Pup Smoke really took a liking to her and she to him! I 100% recommend her being your next walker as she Really cares for your fur baby!! Thank you again! Pup and I will be seeing you REAL soon!!”
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.
“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!”
“Darsy has been great. She shows up on time and has been working to gain the trust of our obstinate rat terrier and made progress today to get her out on a walk. As for our puppy, Bella, Darcy has been great with walking her and making sure she gets some water after the walk and playing with her. She’s also been great about working around our schedule. I highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Valparaiso on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 755 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 your Valparaiso. 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 Valparaiso.
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 Valparaiso. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
