“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: 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!

About: I’ve been a nurse for 8 years, I am lucky to be able to make my own schedule for the most part therefore I’m open to doing stuff I love such as this! Animals have always been a big part of my life. **With that being said I also am very comfortable and have experience with administering medications, changing or applying dressings if needed, animals with medical conditions, and animals with disabilities. I am also very much so okay with grumpy cats! I understand the significance of pets as my cats are the world to me. I will treat your animals as my own at all times! I also know how important routines are as I have my own, therefore I will follow any an all instructions to a T. A lot of my time is dedicated to my animals and I make sure they never go without. I take their health important as well! I myself have a lot of anxiety around my pets including them getting out, getting hurt or getting sick. I am overly careful with all animals because of this.

About: I've been blessed to grow up with a pet best friend my entire life whether from dogs & cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and parakeets. My wife and I will treat your pet as it is our own! My wife works remotely from home and I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule and weekend availability. Our schedules allow for frequent walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and lots of attention. We also have a rescued 1yr old goldendoodle who is neutered and loves other dogs. Your pet will never feel alone! While safety is our top priority, your pet's happiness and care is just as important. We live in a 3-story townhouse with an unfenced yard but live across the street from a park where we take our dog on daily walks. There also a few nearby dog parks if you prefer for your dog to run off-leash. Your pet will have full range to our entire home and we will make sure they feel right at home!

About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I will make your family member very comfortable in my home as if it were my own. I can also administer medication if necessary and go for nice walks.

About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!

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 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: 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: For the past couple of years I have been pet sitting for a colleague and friend of mine and I absolutely love it. I have experience with dealing with dogs with some special needs and I am more than welcome to learn. The youngest I have had was 4 years old and then all the way up to 15 years old. Let me take the load off your shoulders and be able to take care of your fur babies. Though I love dogs, please know that I REALLY love cats too. I am catgirl at heart so please be rest assured that I will take amazing care of them as well. I used to have a feral cat, now with my loving parents 🐈. Currently I have three, so I also do know how it can be when not everyone gets along. Almost everyone in my life owns a cat, so I hope that gives some perspective :). So yes. I’m here for your dog.. but I am also here for the cat folks too 🐾. I have a very flexible schedule due to my job. It allows for myself to create my own schedule so it not only makes my life easier but could very well make yours too. Weekends I have availability and during the week it varies! I care for the pets in my own life allowing them to roam wherever they desire. Besides some closest but they always make their way .

About: I genuinely treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience training puppies, helping with potty routines and basic commands, as well as caring for senior pets who need a little extra TLC, whether it’s administering medication or moving at their pace. I pay close attention to details, and I’m always happy to give updates so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. I’m currently a stay at home mom with my sweet 3 year old boy, Rottweiler pup Kaiya, and senior cat Madeline. I would be more than happy to share my time with your pets, giving them the love and attention they need while you’re away. I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I always take time to play, cuddle, and keep them company. I treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own, clean, secure, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

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.

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!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Vernon is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 October 2026, there are 2,159 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:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 .

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.
