“Grace has been an amazing friend and dog walker to our pup Moose! Moose is so happy to see Grace everyday. She takes him on some long walks in 30 mins and has excellent communication with us. She is extremely dependable and it has been stress free working with her. We SO appreciate her time and love for Moose!!”

About: Hi, I'm Tee! Mom of three boys, former school bus driver, and proud dog mom to three medium-sized pups. So I'm no stranger to small, loud, chaotic, but adorable creatures! 😂 I've loved and cared for dogs for years and understand that pets are family. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or extra care while you're away, I'll treat your fur baby like my own. I'm dependable, patient, and ready to make tails wag! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I'm available for morning and afternoon visits, with some flexibility depending on the day. I enjoy caring for animals and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I try to keep visits close to home when possible so I can be dependable and give each pet the attention they deserve. I treat every pet like my own! I want your fur baby to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll stick to their normal routine, take care of meals, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime and attention. I'll follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I'll also send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is in good hands! ❤️
About: I’ve had a dog in our family most of my life and am the dog mom currently to a King Charles Cavalier which we raised from 8 weeks on. I love the love dogs give us and enjoy giving it back to them! I enjoy long walks on our local trail with our dog as well. I will send updates and pictures during your dogs time with me. My schedule is very flexible, changes each month and allows me to be home a lot. Your pet will not be left alone unless discussed ahead of time. My husband and myself both operate our Rover account and one of us will take great care of your pet. We live in an apartment complex with great walking areas, a fenced dog park, and steps away from the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Your dog will be loved and cared for in our place.
About: Pets have always been a huge part of my life. My very first dog was a WL GSD, and I’ve had a special place in my heart for animals ever since! Now I have a little zoo of my own with two dogs and three cats (and a foster dog)! My Collie and I train and compete in dog sports, and we’re currently working toward multiple titles. I’m also heavily involved with a couple of local shelters and rescues and regularly foster high-energy working breeds—right now, I have a Dutchie foster! Between my own pets, fostering, training, dog sports, and volunteering, animals are a huge part of my everyday life. At this point, caring for them is basically my full-time job outside of my actual full-time job! I do work a FT job outside of Rover. However, I can do morning and evening visits during the week, plus sometimes a quick lunchtime drop-in while I’m on break for work. Weekends are wide open for longer visits or walks. I always care for pets the way I do my own. The more details you can give me about their routines and care, the better. I’m not afraid of a long lengthy list to follow— I actually prefer them! In your home, I make sure to follow your routine as closely as possible so your pets feel secure and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 10 years, for family and friends. I have two sweet senior rescue pups as well. I have no problem giving your pup special attention, whether that means longer walks, giving them medicine, or even a bath. Working with animals, especially dogs brings me so much joy. I also will send as many pictures as you want of your dog throughout the day, to give peace of mind. I’m currently working only part-time a few days a week, so I have plenty of free time to spend taking your dog on walks, and giving them extra love and attention. I have a fenced yard and two friendly senior dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will also send pictures throughout the day of your pup as I know it’s scary to leave your dog behind. 🫶🏼 Between me and my husband, we are dog lovers and your dog will get so much love and attention. We let our dogs lay on the couch and bed, yours will also have that same option. My goal is to make sure that they feel comfortable and happy during their stay! 😊
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been a big animal person. I used to have a dog and cat and absolutely loved to spend time with them. I like going on walks and running during my free times. I’ve taken care of my friend’s dogs, and they know that I’m very big on making sure they are taken good care of. I treat every animal as though they were my own. I would love going on walks and playing with your fur babies. 🐶🐾 I work a full time job but have Friday, Saturday and Sundays off and would love to be able to help out anyone with taking care of their pets. I have church on Sunday mornings but after that I am free all day. I like going to the park and going on runs or a nice walk. I have a big fenced yard and will watch your fur babies as they play outside and make sure to show they so much attention . I will also make sure anything that could potentially be a problem be up high and out of reach so that your dogs will not get hurt or accidentally eat anything they shouldn’t.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Welcome is $20

You could not do any better than Jackson. He did such a great job with my dog, who is a giant breed and still young and energetic which is a recipe for tough walks at times. Jackson handled him like a pro and was so detail oriented and thorough. Highly recommend!!
My regular pet sitter was out for several weeks, and I needed to find a temporary sitter— Chaniel was awesome! My black lab (older a quite stubborn!) did great on daily walks with Chaniel. She is great at communication and always kept me updated with pictures. Will definitely ask her to care for Charlie next time the need arises!
Alyssa was a wonderful Dog Walker for our very active dog, Ginger. She was attentive to details and was great with knowing what to do after asking a few questions. She took the time to warm up to her and a great job with taking pictures and letting us know how the walk went. We’ll definitely be using Alyssa again!
Athena took wonderful care of our young dog Lelo. She was incredibly kind and attentive, taking her on lovely walks to the park and making sure she felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We truly appreciate her care and dedication and are very grateful for the great experience. We can highly recommend Athena and would trust her again anytime!
Ana came to visit the day before to meet and took the time to understand what was needed to walk Max & Mazy. She took extra time to chat and we could tell she obviously loves animals and is trustworthy. Mazy is a new member of the family and was just adopted, so full of energy. She gave feedback on a couple of small issues as Mazy managed to escape her kennel after we left and had caused a little havoc. All went as smooth as possible, given a little craziness.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Welcome is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $24 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 1,743 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Welcome. 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 Welcome. 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 Welcome 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 Welcome. On Rover:
- 91% 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 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.
