About: Well what I can said. I'm a really outgoing person who likes the outdoors, I enjoy long walks I like to hike, the beach. I like to explore new things. As a new mother I like to take care of details and I go beyond any expectations. I can bathe the dog if it it ok with any person. My house is really small but I know that every dog would feel comfortable staying here. I can feed them any medication if they need any. Over all about my self I really outgoing person that likes to get along with others I'm fun, silly, happy, and I'm also a grown woman with a mind of a child that would love any activity. Please feel free to get to know me. I'm a stay home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of any dog. And play with them. And give them attention. I have a small fenced yard. Where the dog can run around without any inconvenience. And I will also take them for a walk to the park.

“Brenna has been so wonderful with walking our 115lb rottie while we were out of town! She’s an excellent communicator and sent us plenty of photos from each walk, and gracefully handled his reactivity on neighborhood walks. We felt reassured and relieved knowing our pup was in good hands and getting exercise and sniff walks while we were out of town, we would highly recommend Brenna to anyone!”

About: I’ve watched friends and family’s dogs since I was a kid. About 13 years ago I rescued my pup and now have the pleasure to love and care for her as she slows down in life. I’ve previously taken care of pups on meds and post surgeries and I always carry a pet medical kit with me just in case. I’m currently working more of a part time job so I have time to spend time with your furry friends. I have plenty of time to spend walking or hanging with your animal! I just bought a home with my dream yard that’s fully fenced in and lots of space. I have a sweet and chill pup named Millie who everyone animal or human loves. I also have 2 cats that are very comfortable with dogs and are open to playing with them or just coexisting.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since my family got a dog when I was a kid. Since then I’ve cared for pets for friends and family. I am currently a grad student and I’m looking for part time work. My schedule is really flexible and can walk your dog at different times in the day. I live in apartment with one dog already so I’m used to going out and walking my dog often. I like to make sure the dog I’m with feels good and isn’t bored.

About: Ive had my own cat for 4 years and ive loved every second of it! Ive also taken care of others cats and i love being able to tend to their needs especially knowing how different each cat is! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care!

I’m very attentive when it comes to animals and always want them to feel safe and comfortable around me.

About: I have proudly taken in over many dogs in the last couple years from abusive owners, shelters, and streets. I will never be able to see an animal in need and walk away. All they want is attention and love. Innocent creatures deserve the best. I currently work nights and actually have my entire day for side hustles and activities. I would love to spend the day time assisting with animals. My home has a fenced yard and I see it myself with my 1 year old golden doodle how much throwing a single ball can make them happy. These babies just want love and attention . I don’t think that’s a lot to ask for.

About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, loving them like my own. I’ve welcomed many animals into my life and even helped find safe, happy homes for those in need. “I provide reliable, loving care with daily photo updates and flexible scheduling. I’m active, patient, and experienced with energetic and senior dogs. Your dog will get safe walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have plenty of time, patience, and love to give to your fur baby and the attention they deserve and need having a flexible job means I have more than enough time to make time I can care for your pet exactly how you prefer. As someone who had a pet , I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone with your baby — I’m very cautious and protective with my own pets, so yours will be treated the same way.

About: I bring years of hands-on pet care experience, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a slower pace and a little more attention. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and can easily adjust to your pet's unique routine, personality, and energy level. I’ve also supported pets with special needs—whether that involves administering medication or adhering to strict feeding schedules. What really sets me apart is the level of attentiveness and communication I provide. I treat every pet like my own, keeping owners updated with photos, notes, and check-ins so they always know their furry friend is safe and cared for. My goal is to make each walk or visit stress-free, reliable, and tailored to what your pet needs most. I plan my days around the pets I’m responsible for. I’m flexible with scheduling and make sure each walk or visit gets my full attention without rushing. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I build my weekly schedule to stay consistent and reliable for both pets and their owners. I also prioritize clear communication, so you’ll always know when I’m available and when your pet is being cared for! Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I’m caring for a pet. In a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, leash preferences, crate routines, or household rules. I’m attentive, calm, and patient, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I give frequent updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create an environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've had opportunities throughout my life to look after dogs for a few hours at a time. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I'm excited to turn my lifelong love for animals into an opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for other people's pets. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, caring for animals is something I'd genuinely enjoy making part of my daily routine. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they're comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm prepared to plan my schedule around agreed-upon visits and care responsibilities so that each pet receives the time and attention it deserves. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client's home, I'd follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines or needs their pet may have. I'd keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use leashes and other safety equipment as instructed, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I believe communication and trust are essential, so I'd keep owners updated and let them know if I noticed anything unusual. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I'd treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect while being mindful of the owner's home and rules.

When we got home to our dog, he was noticeably happy, content, and worn out! Yasmin was able to earn Eddie's trust super fast and walk him all around town.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Vernon is $26 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 October 2026, there are 20,880 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Vernon. 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 Vernon. 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 Vernon 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 Vernon. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
