About: I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I’m comfortable handling animals of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks. I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!

I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.

About: Pets have always been part of my life, from a yellow lab and a guinea pig in my early years to the toy havapoo and fish I have today. I've been a cat volunteer with Paws and Claws Humane Society since June, 2024 and I really enjoy spending time with the cats there. I also have some experience dog sitting for family and friends. I'm currently working part-time and my schedule varies by week. I work 4-7 hours a day and around 20 a week so I'll have time to take care of your pets! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping their space clean and secure, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I provide fresh water, meals, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also respect your home by cleaning up after myself and leaving everything as I found it, or better.

Amazing ? I didn’t realize it was going to be rainy and she still took my dog on a walk (yay!) and even dried her with a towel. The thought that went into it was so sweet and great care!

About: I have always loved dogs since I was a kid. I was always reading books and watching tv shows like "Dogs 101" to learn about the different breeds and needs. I would also help out with any family members or family friend's dog(s) that needed watching. Ever since I was 16 years old I have been sitting dogs and every time my parents leave for vacation, I will watch the family dog for as long as they need. I believe dogs deserve the utmost love and care while they owners are away, insuring a happy reunion. I'm currently available all day, everyday. I can visit your pet in the morning, afternoon, and night depending on what fits their care the best. I can provide a safe, comfortable environment as making a dog feel safe and secure in their own home is top priority. I can give baths, give medication orally, play, explore, and love them generously. I will make sure there will be as least of a disturbance possible when I visit clients home, making sure it is the same as when they left. Pets deserve the most love and top care while their owners are away.

About: I’ve grown up having several different pets around me including cats, dogs, horses, fish, crabs, etc. when I was younger I used to help out my grandma with her horses. We would feed, groom and train them. I’m able to understand an animals needs by reading body language. I have experience raising and training a puppy. My grandma has all these rescue cats (4 or 5) and most of them have a disability of some kind, so I’m comfortable with disabled pets as well. I also took a class in Small Animal Care. I’m typically available everyday (Monday - Sunday) and will let you know otherwise if I happen to be busy. For meet and greets I like to meet during the day (usually sometime around noon) I have an unfenced yard. And 4 cats. My cats get fed 3 times a day. And water is always available. They get lots of pets and attention. I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, love and snuggles, follow all your unique requirements and treat them as my own.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals all my life especially dogs! I couldn’t imagine my life without them! They truly are a part of the family! I work remotely and am home day and night unless I’m transporting my kids to activities or events. This makes for a very flexible schedule to take care of pets! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for running and playing. I have 3 dogs to help keep your pet company! I also have dog beds for resting and a foldable crate stored in case it’s needed.

About: I adore animals and have 4 of my own and can I add that they are completely spoiled! I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I‘ve always had a passion for working with animals and then I came across rover. 🐶😺 I will make sure that your dog/cat is given the proper care it needs. I can play with them, feed them, administer medications, etc. I have had animals my whole life. I love to go for walks, the dog park, or other adventures. My own dog goes out 5 or more times a day. Please consider giving me an opportunity to take care of your beloved animal. I’ll be sure to love them while you are away. Thank you! P.S. I do have 3 jobs and sometimes my significant other helps out. I have a very flexible schedule and do have the availability to work from home. I can move my schedule around and make most things work. I typically don’t have pets in my home. My dog does not like most dogs and has a long trauma history. He is a rescue from Texas.

About: I am currently an LPN in school getting my nursing degree. I live with 3 dogs and have always grown up with them. I have watched friends and family members dogs growing up, and am looking to expand my care. I am very flexible with my schedule, but need a few day notice before making huge changes. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. :) I am in school until afternoons on Monday, all day Tuesday, and Thursday mornings. I am open to care on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends if needed but am flexible if you give me a few days/ a week notice I do not provide care in my home to animals due to not having a lot of space and already having 3 dogs. However, I am open to house sitting on weekends and providing drop in visits and walks on Wednesdays and Fridays.

About: When I was younger I started my own dog walking business, as of lately I thought about going back to my roots. Although I haven’t owned dogs throughout my life, I’ve definitely taken care of them for friends and family and I can promise you I will help meet the needs of your dog whatever they may be! I work as an RN, but have a lot of random weekdays and weekends off. I’m looking to stay busy this summer now that I’m not in school. I will respect the environment that I am in. I will treat your pet with the love, care and respect they deserve as well as your home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 304 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 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 Vernon.

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 Vernon. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
