About: I've always had a passion for animals, and have been taking care of my neighbor's and friend's pet since I was in middle school. I have experience caring for all types of animals, including senior dogs, blind dogs, puppies, cats, and birds. I am currently a student and only in class 3 days a week, so I have ample time away from other responsibilities that I can spend giving adequate care to your pets. I also enjoy going on daily walks, so getting them outside won't be a problem. I will be attentive to your dogs when they are outside, ensuring that the yard is secure and that they don't leave it. I will also make sure the house is secured when I leave, and the pet is safe.

“She did amazing, I will be asking for her service again. When I got home about an hour after she had returned my furbabies from their walk they were excited to see me per usual but not jumping off the wall. I did get a movement alert from our camera facing the driveway, and it was her expertly handling both of my giant furbabies while leaving the house. Usually our younger one tries ripping people's shoulders out but he was walking very pleasantly next to her. She did great I would give 10 stars if it were possible.”

About: I've had small dogs, large dogs, puppies and high maintenance senior dogs that needed extra care and patience. I walk them, carry them, give them time to sniff & enjoy the outside and live their best lives. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule because my dogs are a priority for me as I know yours are for you! So I'm able to help whenever I am needed. I can stop by and give your dogs potty time, walks, treats and/or meals. I can administer meds if needed. I can come and go as needed.

About: I have been taking care of my own and friends dogs ever since I was young. From puppies to middle aged dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, and training them. I am currently a student athlete with classes and practices in the mornings with open afternoons most days of the week. I only have 1 late afternoon class on Tuesdays which makes me available mid day. I focus on providing reliable, loving care and following each pet owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adapt my care to their routine and personality while keeping their safety and comfort my top priority.

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

About: I’ve always had the biggest heart for animals! I was an animal science major in high school and spent much time volunteering at doggy daycares. In college I studied basic canine care and training where I got more experience and knowledge in training different types of dogs. I currently have a couple of pups that I gain more experience from everyday! 🥰 Currently in between employments and looking for something to keep me occupied that would benefit others as well. So I’ll be available anytime that would be convenient for you! I have decent space for my pups and have my own precautions. I will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby as if they're my own, so I assure you that I will follow any and all instructions given to me by you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 483 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:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
