“We don’t have a very easy dog to walk but Rebecca did a great job making him feel comfortable and get plenty of exercise and time outside! She gave us great feedback on ways to help in the future with a scared stressed dog and we will definitely have her walk our dog in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs while babysitting for families, including feeding them, taking them outside, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m responsible, dependable, and would love the opportunity to help care for your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of openings between my classes. This gives me a lot of availability throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s normal routine! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable around me. I allow each animal to move at their own pace when getting to know me and give them the time and space they need to build trust. I never force interactions and will always respect your pet’s boundaries while making sure they feel cared for and loved.

About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs. While also having a job as an engineer, I try to make time for my animals even if that means leaving work and coming home to make sure they have everything they need! I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.

“Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

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.

About: I have been around and caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. I’ve had many different types of animals of my own, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, and more, and I’ve also regularly cared for pets belonging to friends, family, neighbors, and multiple families. I’ve cared for households with anywhere from one to three pets at a time and am comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently in my last semester of college, and my class schedule is very flexible with plenty of time between classes. I also work a flexible part-time job that I can easily schedule around pet care. Because of this, I have a very open schedule and can make myself available for my clients with advance notice. I’m able to stop by multiple times throughout the day, including before or after classes and during breaks, for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra company. I can be very flexible with drop-ins, walks, sitting, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around whatever routine is best for each pet. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m very attentive and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. Since my schedule is so open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than rushing through a visit. I’m also happy to spend extra time with them if they need companionship, exercise, or reassurance. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: What sets me apart is that I am energetic, funny, positive, love pets and happy to be alive! When I am sitting or taking care of other pets I love them as if they are mine. Showing them love and care in every way. Pet care is hobby/job that I do part-time. I enjoy the company of animals and love the happiness and love they give to you even if they just met you. I have a Russian Blue cat named George. He 100% has a personality and isn't afraid to use his voice. He is played with daily and fed with wet food and dry food which was carefully researched to ensure he is getting all the nutrients he needs. When I am watching other pets I care for them as if they are my own. Loving them in the same way I would George.

About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

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.

I don’t know about you, but that is so appreciated when you’re stressed about getting some last-minute care for your pup. She’s also great with Jax and he loves her. Highly recommend contacting Jen for fur baby needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wallingford Center is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 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 2,846 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wallingford Center. 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 Center. 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 Center 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 Center. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
