About: Hello Rover customers, I have taken care of pets since I was a child and have taken care of my family’s fur babies since my kids were small. I am currently left with my senior cat at home but would love to take great care of your beloved fur babies. I am currently self employed and work part time during the weekdays. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate as needed with enough notice! I have a fenced in yard for my animals if needed but I am very careful in customer’s homes and make sure to not leave without checking my surroundings first so no animals gets out the door.

About: I am a huge animal lover and have spent a lot of time rescuing homeless cats in my neighborhood. I have trapped 20 stray cats, vetted them, and found them homes. From this I have 7 of my own cats. I also have rescued two dogs from shelters. One is a Pitbull and the other an English Bull Dog. Growing up I always had pets around. As a Special Education Teacher I am available all weekdays after 5pm and I have complete open availability on weekends and school vacations (December, April). I have no problem with high energy or needy animals. I am comfortable cleaning up pet messes, playing, walking, and providing medicine if needed. I will do anything an animal needs.

About: Animal lover here that will treat your pups as if they were my very own--with lots of love, care and cuddles! My name is Biby and I grew up with animals in my family home so there has never been a time when I didn't own and care for a pet--dogs, fish, cats, rabbits, and even a bird! I hope you will consider me when searching for that perfect place. I work full-time during the week but I can work from home a couple days out of the week if need be. I would be honored and excited to care for your family member. I look forward to hearing from you soon and getting to know more about your pup! I primarily work from home throughout the week, but even during my home office hours, I often enjoy taking breaks to engage in playtime or go for walks with furry companions. I reside in an apartment and maintain a high level of organization and cleanliness. I'm delighted to offer dog care services either at your home, providing your pet with familiarity and comfort.

About: I have had lots of different types of animal experiences since I was a child including always having a cat in the household and volunteering with animal shelters. My specialty is cats but I have a few years experience with sitting and walking dogs as well. I am always up for a new challenge and am very capable and adaptable. I have worked in many animal shelters, as well as managed a cat shelter and a cat cafe, so I am very comfortable approaching all animals. I also currently work at a traveling pet vaccine clinic and am going back to school to be a vet tech! I have a very flexible schedule because I run my own cat oriented business and make my own hours. My whole life is animals, so I love to fit them into my life as much as possible. I currently only offer services in my clients’ homes, and to ensure that their pets are always safe and secure, I am very on top of communication and checking in with my pet parents. I like to review all instructions together to make sure I don’t have any questions and know exactly what contacts are (vet, ER, friends) for emergencies. I always respect other people’s space and will leave things exactly as I left them, if not better. Letting someone into your home to take care of your fur family requires a lot of trust and I feel honored when someone allows me that privilege.

“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”

About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually

About: Hello! I am so happy you clicked on my profile! Please sniff around! We treat every stay whether your pet is big or small, meows or barks - as a vacation of their own!! We tailor their needs and work around their schedules to keep their routine as similar as possible to make an easier adjustment. My love for animals has always been my biggest passion! Although I love them all, my biggest love is for senior animals or animals with disabilities. I have been fostering dogs and cats for over 6 years now and focus mostly on paralyzed dogs, senior dogs, and even ‘fospice’ dogs, dogs who may have a limited amount of time left on this planet but it's truly an honor to give them all the love and being there the whole way. Outside of doing Rover: I am a nanny for 2 legged children, and I also work at an animal veterinary hospital. I am very comfortable taking care of your animals with any special needs they may have! I am happy to make any accommodations they may need, please just ask! My schedule is very flexible! Thank you for giving me the time to show you that you have picked the right sitter! I will update you as much as you would like, with many pictures of your fur-baby (s). I do have dogs of my own- but can accommodate if you would prefer your animal(s) to be separate from mine *** We only have 3 pets- Henry, Betty, and Timber. The rest were fosters we were taking care of. We’re having an issue updating it on my profile!*** I do not discriminate* any breed, small or large I am happy to walk, house sit, board, or do a drop in visit! As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I offer personalized, high-quality care that goes beyond the basics. What sets me apart is my deep love for animals, combined with my commitment to providing individualized attention for each pet. Whether it's following specific routines, administering medication, or simply offering companionship, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. With professional certifications in pet first aid and years of hands-on experience, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and am always prepared for any situation. Communication is key, **While I may not be able to respond to a new request right away as I can not be on my phone at times, when your pet is in our care I provide regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can rest assured knowing your pet is in the best hands** I offer flexible scheduling and tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each pet. From daily visits to overnight stays, I am here to give your furry family member the attention they deserve when you can't be there. Let me be your pet’s second-best friend! Let me give you a brief description of what their stay will be entailed of: My boyfriend and I have opposite work schedules, He works during the day and I work night shifts, giving me the flexibility to be home and love and care for your pet(s)! • On a typical day we will begin our mornings going for a walk (we live on a quiet dead end street that enters a park.) Then breakfast will be handed out and always fed separately from our dogs. Water of course is always fresh and always provided in multiple places within the house and on our deck. We have a dog door that the dogs are more than welcome to use that leads out to our deck and leads down to our fenced in area. Our home is filled with plenty of dog beds, blankets, and tons of toys! (Toys, dog beds, and blankets are always washed at the end of each stay.) You are more than welcome to bring any comfort items for your pet’s stay that will be of course laid out for them. • Updates are always provided with pictures/videos during their stay! I will always let you know how your pet(s) are doing while in our care and provide you with my personal number as well. • Your pets are welcomed on our furniture and do not have restrictions, unless you specifically ask them not to. We will be more than happy to accommodate to their needs and any schedule you will like them to stick to. • The items we do ask that you bring is their dog food, any medications, and written instructions you may have, lastly their vet information and emergency contact if you have one. • We have 2 acres and use long leads outside the fenced in area to play outside! Your pet(s) will always be watched and cared for, have plenty of outside time, as well as play time! • We always end our night with a short walk before bed and your pet(s) are welcomed to sleep where they are most comfortable! I have a an area in our backyard that is fenced in. We live on two acres or land that your loved one(s) can have access to and enjoy. I am happy to take them for many walks throughout the day as well I am happy to accommodate to your pets needs and will follow any directions you may have for your pet(s)

About: I am trustworthy and will always put the dogs needs that I am sitting first. I will always make sure the dog I am with is happy and has everything he/she needs. I currently work a part-time job, so I have a good amount of free time during the week to be able to help and provide pet care for others. I’ve been on rover for 2 years now and have a dog of my own. I really enjoy spending time with dogs wether it’s walking them or just being able to play and spend time with them.

About: I have had pets since I was a baby. I had two rabbits who I took care of during my childhood, such as feeding and brushing. When I was around 10 years old we adopted my current dog, who I walk and play with frequently. My family often petsits other animals as well, mostly dogs. I have helped with catering to these dogs needs since I was 9 and have always loved getting the opportunity to take care of them! These experiences have taught me the responsibility necessary to actually take care of animals. I am available to pet sit the entire week except on Mondays. I am a very flexible person and do not mind cancellations or late notices. I have a large yard my dog loves to play in, along with The Canal Trail as a 2 minute walk away from my house. I often take toys from our large toy box to go out into the yard and play with him.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wallingford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wallingford is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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 2,836 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wallingford. 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 Wallingford. 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 Wallingford 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 Wallingford. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
