“Karinna took Toby for an afternoon walk. I know how excited he gets to be outside so I’m so happy Karinna was available. I appreciated the write up and pics of his time. I’d recommend Karinna for walks with your fur babies.”
“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”


About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats my entire life, and have two German Shepherds of my own! I’m new to the Rover community but very experienced with all types of animals and hoping to become a dog trainer in the future. I’m comfortable around all dogs and will adapt and learn how to take the best care of your animal. My friends and family always come to me for their animal sitting needs! Whether it’s midday potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, or high-energy playtime or walks, my drop-in visits give your pets a cheerful break in their day and give you total peace of mind. Working with animals is my passion! I have a very flexible schedule as i work part time remotely and am ready to help whenever needed! Whether it be a walk while you’re at work, or multiple drop in visits while you’re on vacation, i’m here to help! Your pets stay safe, relaxed, and happy in the comfort of their own home. I’m very reliable and trustworthy, and you can depend on me to keep your furry friends safe.
About: My entire life I have owned at least 3 pets. From foster cats, to my own cats, dogs, neighbors dogs, etc. I am a pet person through and through. I have a range of ages of animals I’ve taken care of - from dogs in elderly stages to 2 week old kittens. I work from home and am constantly taking quick walks around the block during the day to keep my energy up and get outside. Love to explore with a buddy! We have experience cat sitting in our home and all goes smoothly. We ensure doors are closed and locked at all times so there is a 0% chance of escaping. We also live next to a bike trail for great long dog walks!
“Isabel is excellent! She came over to meet the dogs in advance and left me with a ton of confidence that my dogs would be well taken care of. She provided constant communication including when she arrived, if they went to the bathroom, if she gave them treats (which I gave her permission to do), and when she left. I will definitely ask her to walk the dogs again!”


About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past two years, and I absolutely love caring for these wonderful animals! Through my experience in dog daycare, kennel care, and grooming, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience with reading canine body language, feeding and administering medications, bathing and drying dogs of different breeds, and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have two dogs of my own: a 2-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd and a 13-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I walk them daily, manage my senior dog’s medications, take them to veterinary and grooming appointments, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! As of right now, I'm currently working part time so I definitely have the time to care for your pets! I'm fully available anytime on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. For the rest of the week I'll be in the grooming salon gaining more experience, but I would be available anytime after 4pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays! Your fur baby's safety is always my top priority! I take extra care to ensure your pup is securely leashed before walks, follow all feeding and medication instructions closely, and double-check that all doors and gates are safely secured. I also believe that open communication with pet parents is essential, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I'll always do my best to keep you updated and ensure your pup receives the love, attention, and care they deserve!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to smaller mammals and reptiles. In addition to being a lifelong pet owner, I previously worked at a pet supply store, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and helped pet owners understand how to best meet their pets’ needs. Between my personal and professional experience, I’ve become familiar with the different personalities, behaviors, and care needs of all kinds of animals, and I’m confident in my ability to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and am available Tuesday through Saturday during the mornings and afternoons, usually until 3-5pm. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets without having to rush. I’m happy to work around their usual routines and make sure they get the attention they need while you’re away! Since I’ll be caring for your pets in your home, I want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is for animals to have a familiar environment and a consistent routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions when it comes to feeding, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m also mindful of keeping your home clean and secure, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing.
“Fruzsina is a fantastic, highly engaged dog walker. Her communication is top-tier—I always get great photos and a breakdown of how the walk went. She is very proactive about suggesting new ways to keep my dog enriched and stimulated. She is very involved and enthusiastic, which shows how much she cares. A great choice for any owner who values a collaborative and communicative partnership.”

About: Ever since I was a kid it was my duty to take care of pets. Had 2 birds, 2 Guinea pigs, beta fish, cat and a dog. Cared for each one day in and day out. My first experience with animal care was probably age 11/12 caring for a family friend’s cats and dog. Daily walks, routine meals, etc. My favorite part of pet care is being able to meet each pet’s needs. Along with getting know their personalities. Funny enough I’m writing this paragraph whilst taking care of this pup while his parents are on holiday. Currently working 4 days a week as a dental hygienist. The other days are pretty much free. Would love to spend it caring for folks pets. Quite flexible, take your pets needs into consideration. Always diligent, poignant and kind. Animals have such love to give, it’s not in a their nature to hate. That’s why I care deeply for them. Now that I’m on my own, the apartment I live in only allows me to have my pet turtle. He will be 4 years old this upcoming fall. He’s a red eared slider with lots of personality.
About: I have been working with animals my whole life. My most recent experience includes pet sitting for Life of Riley pet care, working as a vet tech at Randolph Animal Hospital and working as a vet assistant at Northampton Vet Clinic. I am able to medicate transdermally, orally and through sq injections. I am a fellow golden retriever mom and am also familiar with the puppy stages! I am more than confident in working with all age groups! I am more than happy to care for your fur babies in your own home. I offer overnight care, daily walks and drop in visits. If you book at least 1 week in advance my schedule is flexible. I am willing to work with you to make a schedule that works for you. I am currently in school for dental assisting however I will not need to be away for more than 4 hours at a time. I offer pet sitting in your homes with overnight care, walks and drop-in visits. My drop-in visits and walks are 30 minute visits, however if you need a different time frame I am willing to work it out. For overnight care I am willing to make a plan that suits your pups or kitties the best.

About: Dog and cat mom 🐾 I have dog sat and walked for family members, friends, neighbors, and strangers, and I have experience working with both puppies and senior dogs. I also worked with a CT-based company walking dogs off-leash on both private and public hiking trails. Comfortable with pets of all sizes and behaviors I’m currently looking for work so I am available 24/7! I stay at home with my dog and cat most days of the week and can fit pet care anywhere in my schedule. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex that has a dog park and lots of grass to play on.

About: From a young age, I developed a deep love for animals, growing up surrounded by dogs and a cat. That passion continues today, and I’m now a proud cat mom to two beloved boys: a 4-year-old orange tabby and a 1.5-year-old tuxedo. I currently work in marketing and am applying to volunteer at local cat shelters to give back and spend more time with animals. For the past three years, I’ve also cared for a client’s three cats multiple times a year outside of Rover, in addition to regularly looking after friends’ and family’s pets while they’re away on vacation. Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life! Between feeding, playtime, and cuddles with my two cats, I’m used to having a consistent pet care routine. I work part-time in marketing, so I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to care for other pets too. I am very respectful of your house rules and extremely attentive to you and your animals needs. I can play, feed, and take pictures or videos of your fur babies.

About: Hello! I am a Corgi mom ready to share the love and care with your fur babies! I have spent my whole life around animals. I grew up with Chocolate Labs, and as a kid, I pet sat for the neighborhood dogs and cats while our neighbors traveled. My husband and I raised our 3 year-old corgi from a puppy, and I must say he is a well-socialized gentleman. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am looking to take on some pet visits and dog walking because I believe every animal deserves a buddy to make sure they can go out for a potty break during the day! I will treat your pet like I would my own. I will make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you are busy. I pride myself on communication and attention to detail, so no instruction will go ignored. Can't wait to meet your pet friends! I am self-employed as a running coach, so I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. I can make morning, lunchtime, afternoon, and/or evening visits to your pet on all weekdays, and some weekends. I have experience walking all dogs on leash, including large dogs, like my in-laws' Giant Schnauzer. I follow the pet parent's protocol for how I operate when caring for your pet, but always use my best judgement to ensure safety for all people, pets, and property! Note that all pet care will be provided by me only!

I live in a larger apartment in Cambridge near a park! As for larger dogs, I am happy to come your way so they don't need to leave the comfort of their space and have a yard to run around!

About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I volunteer with Our Companions in their Adopt a Shelter program spending time visiting and walking dogs in local shelters, and I have volunteered at their animal sanctuary in Ashford walking dogs. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Vernon is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 2,135 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 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 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 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 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 Vernon. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
