“Shelbi has been great when getting to know me and my pup. She came over when I needed her unexpectedly to support my puppy when I had to work late. I’m beyond grateful for her help and enjoy knowing my puppy will get to spend time walking with her when I can’t.”

About: My family had a couple dogs growing up. I don’t remember a lot about the first but I would walk the second dog whenever I could. There wasn’t a time where I didn’t enjoy walking with her. The next thing I know, my aunt left behind a cat for us. I fed him each morning and night. He was a shy cat but happened to warm up to me quickly. Whenever he got a chance, he’d lay down on my lap. My family ended up with a Rover account. I walked those dogs and fed them whenever one of my family members couldn’t. Recently, we got a couple of cats. I feed these babies each morning and night. Typically I would do their litter too, yet, my family has the blessing of a cat genie. With every animal I’ve met, I make sure they get the attention they deserve, need, and want! Petting and playing around with cats and dogs is one of my favorite things to do. Or I could do the opposite if your animal doesn’t like to be pet! My schedule is more or less flexible, as I am currently working at in-n-out as of recently and I am in school as well. All of my classes are online at the moment. I am available for any kind of sit or drop in, whether it’s for just one day or for a long while. I like to go climbing and bowling with my boyfriend and friends but I’m stunted with a minor foot problem for the time being so I’m not able to preform those activities as i usually would. I’m currently in the recovery process with physical therapy and I’m hoping i can get better soon. Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch any clients’ pets at my house. In my home, I put my best effort towards my pets to make sure they feel safe in our home. I play with them and let them rest where they find it comfortable. In any of my clients homes, I respect their wants and needs for how their animal should be taken care of. I ask that someone tell me if their dog is potty trained, if they are allowed on couches/furniture, and how often they need to be taken on a walk. I’ll give a lot of play time, pets and belly rubs to the dogs and cats!

About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs who are both 11 years old. One is a rescue (charlotte) who we’ve had for her entire life and one is a foster fail (Fiona) who we’ve had for two years now. I fostered another dog for about 6 months who was disabled, she was a very happy dog and even without use of her back legs would make her way around! Most of my dogs have been small dogs so I have more experience with small dogs. I’ve taken care of one big dog, who was a black lab/basset hound mix so I have a little bit of experience working with bigger dogs. I work in a park and as a delivery driver so I am well versed in dog body language. I believe that giving an animal their space and allowing them to set their own boundaries with a new person is a great way for them to feel confident with me from the start. I am free pretty much every weekday! Weekends are a little more complicated as I do work another job on the weekends that will need my attention. But I do mostly gig work so, I am flexible and willing to have a conversation and work out a schedule that works for both of us! I recognize that all pets have a routine and like humans if their routine gets thrown off it doesn’t feel great. I will care for your pets by trying to follow the routine you have set for them as closely as possible. This can help your pet not feel like their entire day is thrown off by something changing, like meeting a new person or someone else walking them.

About: I love animals and have grown up with them. I have over 15 years of experience working with, and being around all kinds of animals, breeds, and temperaments. My experience with dogs includes my own, pet sitting (long term & short term), working as a veterinary assistant and interning at the zoo. I have a very calm, and patient personality, this often works well for dogs - especially those that are more nervous. I have worked patiently with the most nervous kitty cats and have had them loving and trusting me as well. I never push an animal to accept, but work at their pace and always make sure the receive the care needed. I have worked with senior pets, special needs, puppies, and have experience administering medications, fluids, etc. I get to know your furry family member and observe behaviors and what they like and don’t like. Also paying attention to change in behavior. I took a break from offering pet care services due to life changes, which is why there’s a gap between previous and most current pet care, but I am excited to get back to doing what I enjoy most! 😊 I am currently open to receiving pet care requests full time. I am a single mom to two teenagers and work a schedule that is adjustable to work with your pet care needs. I make sure to follow all directions left by my client, whether their pet is crated, what to look out for, what they like/dislike, feeding schedules, etc. I always keep in contact with my client if anything seems “off” or different about their furry family member. I provide photo updates, message updates about your babies and I am always available to send a photo or info upon request! I want you to know that your furry babies are safe and happy in my care.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them has become second nature. With years of hands-on experience raising and looking after dogs of all ages—from playful pups to calm seniors—I’ve learned how to provide the love, attention, and structure each one needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. im currently working 9:30am-6:30pm usually get lunches around 1pm-2pm (1 hour) mon-fri im available weekdays and weekends. im available to stay overnight or come in for daily visits as well :) I provide pet care that balances safety, comfort, and fun. I always make sure pets are in a secure environment, follow feeding and medication routines carefully, and keep a close eye on their well-being. Along with basic care, I also focus on enrichment through play, walks, and one-on-one attention to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. My goal is to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happily engaged while in my care.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life. Kittens, puppies, senior pets, you name it! I currently have an adult dog (who I’ve raised as a puppy) and had a senior cat so I’m very aware what responsibilities come with younger to older pets. I’ve also looked after friends and neighbors cats and dogs while they’re away. Walking dogs is also my favorite thing to do! Overall I stay local since I have my own dog to care for. I also work remotely so my schedule is very flexible during the day. I’m very aware of any new environment that I’m in. I believe that you should respect everyone’s space the way I would want my own space to be. Understanding boundaries is also vital since everyone and their pet(s) are different. Making sure you and your pet feel safe makes me better at my job!

About: I've always loved animals and knew I wanted to work with them in some capacity. Since I was a kid I've been pet sitting for neighbors, or friends/family and then I started walking dogs in college to make extra money. Now, I have 4 years expirence working with dogs and cats and the occasional ferret and sugar glider as a Veterinary Technician. Your fur baby(babies) will be in safe hands with me and I will love and care for them as my own. I'm available most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for drop-ins, playtime or walks with your pets, feel free to message me to set something up <3 Currently I do not have availability for overnight stays. I make sure everyone gets fed, has fresh clean water, I can medicate if needed, I love engaging in interactive play and taking doggos for walks! I have experience reading animal body language too so I know when to take it slower or let them come to me if they seem anxious.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Walnut Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Walnut Grove is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 November 2026, there are 6,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Walnut Grove. 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 Walnut Grove. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Walnut Grove 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 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 Walnut Grove. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
