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.

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: Thanks for taking an opportunity to discover more about me and what I may be able to offer you, your friends, and your family. I grew up modestly but rich with pet friends. I’m a dog person at heart and most dogs know it as soon as we meet. I’m a retired military guy in the area with a wife and 2 daughters. We own a 10 year old American bulldog named LuLu. I understand the need for good, reliable pet care options. So if some Rover providers can’t support your 2 a.m. dog walk/house call request. Give me a shot, I just might be your best solution. Thanks again for considering me. I’m recently retired and finding that I have so much time and even more energy to give. If you have a schedule that is not typical of the 9-5 work day, I understand. I have the same lived experience. I don’t offer boarding services at this time due to my favorite pup LuLu and her inability to socialize with other animals in her home.

About: I've owned dogs from a young age, ever since I was old enough, I took care of them as well. I have had dogs of all ages from a pup to their golden years, of all different breeds. I do have base access as well to take care of your military pets Currently at home from college so I'll have plenty of time should make multiple visits and potentially stay for extended hours as well. Making me a great option if you're leaving for an extended vacation as well. I am pretty easy going with my pups, but I will follow all guidance to take care of your pets the same way you would.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I grew up with several cats and always was the neighborhood kid who would pet sit the neighbor’s dogs. I still have my cat Dabney, a torti with sass who now roams our home like we bought it for her. In considering other pets, I would follow their daily schedule and give lots of pets. I am able to do drop in visits for your pets on the weekends. I do not charge extra for holidays. I am comfortable with small to large dogs, taking them for walks, or pet sitting multiple animals. I work full time, and take care of pets on the weekends. Perfect for a weekend getaway for locals who can’t take their pets with them. I do not charge extra for holidays. My cat is very spoiled with many windows for perfect bird viewing, a yard to explore and gets many pets when sleeping next to me. For clients, I would follow their pets schedule, feed, walk, clean litter, and give pets.

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.

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: I've been a dedicated pet sitter for 7 years, during which I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from quick drop-ins for a day to providing in-home care for up to a month. I have a knack for training puppies and providing special care for senior dogs, ensuring each pet's unique needs are met. As an avid runner, I'm also thrilled to take dogs on invigorating runs, making sure they get plenty of exercise and fun. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your pups. As a full-time college student with most of my classes being online, I have the flexibility to be available for pet walking, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate ample time to ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I'm committed to providing them with the best care possible. At my home, I have two dogs with opposite personalities: one is crate-trained, and the other roams freely, so I'm well-versed in accommodating different pet preferences and routines. This experience ensures that I can create a comfortable environment for your pet, whether they prefer a structured or more relaxed setting. In my clients' homes, I maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and providing any special care they might need. As an avid runner, I'm also happy to take your dog on energizing runs if requested, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and enjoyment. It's important to note that for safety, dogs must wear a harness when running with me. I approach pet care with dedication and empathy, treating each pet as if they were my own. Clear communication with clients ensures that their pets receive personalized attention and care that meets their specific requirements. My goal is to provide a seamless and loving experience for your pets, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for at all times.

About: I grew up in Niceville on a farm with many dogs, cats and chickens! I have a love for all animals and have always owned a cat or dog, or fish even! Also would work with hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I own a maltese named Zeus, he is 5 years old and very submissive but playful. My mother adopted her maltese from Alaqua Animal Refuge 2 years ago and I have helped train him. He has anxiety and trust issues, but he is getting to be more calm. I believe in dogs having a routine for feeding and going out, also a cuddle spot on the floor nearby where I am. I take my dog on car rides as often as I can. My 16 year old son also is available to help me and loves animals also. I'm a licensed massage therapist and work very few days a week.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Valparaiso

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Valparaiso on Rover is $16.05 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 769 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
  • 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.
