About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young and had dogs in the home since I was an infant! I know very well what it means to take good care of a pet - they are family. Since living away from my family dog, I am in need of some dog therapy! I’m a grad student with weekday flexibility and am looking to look after dogs only when I am home and will be able to tend to them Pets are like family and they will be treated as such! I promise to love on your pet and make sure they are having fun and getting all their needs met!

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.

Was cautious on super hot days to not walk them on the pavement but instead stayed and played with them in the yard to get all the energy out. Will continue to use her services in the future!”

“She went out of her way to let me know that my dog would not go for a walk. She notified me to let me know because she was worried that something might be wrong. Turns out that it was around the Fourth of July. My dog has simply been spooked by the fireworks. She was reassured, and happily offered to play with her in her backyard. My sweet girl was delighted with the alternative playtime. I appreciate her a quick communication and concern for my darling.”

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, i’m an animal lover as they say. We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have 2 spoiled rotten golden retrievers and a great dane who passed away in March of 2026. I have excellent experience in animal care. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care in any way possible for their animals. I work from home and my job is INSANELY flexible. I come and go as i please for work; and make my own schedule/hours. So attending to your pet all day is no issue what so ever. I am a die hard animal lover, so I would care for your pet the way I care for mine. I have experience in giving oral meds by hand, and adding meds onto food etc. I have a picky eater, so if you have a picky eater and need someone who can manage, i am your girl! I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect. I have been in the customer service industry for a very very long time; and communication is key, ALWAYS. Now that i’ve written a novel, i am easy to get ahold of with any questions, comments, or concerns! I look forward to caring for your critters! I work from home full time and have a very large fenced in backyard at my house! I am able to let your dog out as much or as little as you’d like! I sit at home all day and work with my 2 goldens so they are spoiled plum rotten! I am able to care for your pets by providing multiple updates throughout your pets stay, as well as plenty of pictures. I am able to follow specific guidelines given to me by clients to ensure their pet has a safe stay at my home

About: Hi! I am a young, active, outdoorsy homeschool mother who would love to help care for your beloved dog! 🐾 I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities, including German Shepherds, Labradoodles, Terriers, Shih Tzus, Great Pyrenees, and Australian Shepherds. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I am committed to providing patient, loving, individualized care. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I enjoy getting outside for walks with active dogs. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy plenty of attention, snuggles, playtime, and outdoor activity. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like part of my family while they’re in my care. I'm happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. ❤️ I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and provide them with a safe, fun, and loving stay! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I work one day a week and homeschool my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter so it is essential your dog is comfortable around older children. Because I homeschool, I spend most of my days at home and have flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and keeping your pet company. I enjoy an active, outdoorsy lifestyle and I'm happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. My home has a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise. I have an active family with two kind, loving, and playful children who enjoy having animals around. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and boundaries. I will provide close supervision and a loving, family-oriented environment. For walks or care in your home, I am reliable, respectful, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own family and pets.

About: I’ve had dogs since i was a baby, always been one of my favorite things. I’ve been told i’m an animal whisperer and have a special connection with pets i don’t even know! I’m currently a part time worker, i’d have plenty of time to take care of and watch your animals. l don’t spend much time away from home max would be 4-5hrs on certain days. I’m overly open with pets being out around the house, they can be crated if needed of course. I have a small fenced area but a leash would still be needed preferably due to my neighbors dogs.

About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies! I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times. I will care for your pet as if it were my own! I make sure your pet is fed and taken care of, but I would also love to spend time with your pet so they are not lonely while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger. It began with dog sitting until I convinced my parents to allow us to get our own dog. We now have 3 dogs and I have a cat on my own. I also worked at a doggy day care where I took care of up to 20-30 dogs alone at times. I love animals of all kinds and would love to help people would may not have the most time or availability some days to give their pet optimal care! I just graduated college and am looking for a part-time job in the mean time before I start graduate school in the summer. I have full availability all days as of right now. I live in a small apartment so I cannot offer to take pets into my own home at this time. I will be able to go to owner’s homes and feed, walk, accompany their pets for however long they may need.

About: I've shared my life with animals for over 30 years, including dogs, cats, horses, fish, reptiles, and even spiders. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to earn their trust. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you're away, I'll care for your pet with patience, reliability, and respect. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work part time and I'm a full time dad so there's plenty of time and care to give. Transportation isn't a problem either if needed. I've had the same 2 sibling dogs and cat for many years and just lost 1 dog and cat to age, which is sad but they had great lives and very loved. Now find myself with more time and space to share.

Gabby was an absolute dream to work with. From start to finish, her communication with us has been exceptional. I would absolutely recommend Gabby. Her love for dogs and her kindness toward my sweet father and his new puppy, Darcie was so refreshing. Thank you, Gabby for going above and beyond! Nikki, John and Darcie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Vinton is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $21 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 656 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Vinton. 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 Vinton. 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 Vinton 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 Vinton. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
