About: I'm a caring and dependable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. They've always had a special place in my heart, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From feeding and potty breaks, to snuggles, walks and play time, l'm committed to treating every animal like they're my own. I am currently working part-time while exploring my long-term career goals. Because of that, I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. I have always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable meeting new animals and focus on helping them become familiar with me in a calm, reassuring way. I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable, then provide them with plenty of attention, care, and affection.

About: I’ve had dogs consistently in my house since I was born. We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.

About: I am a 2020 graduate of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and work as an organic farmer. Rover helps me to earn money for myself during the off season when work dies down. Contact me if you need help caring for your pets. I'm a lover of cats and dogs (and farm animals) and have had them as pets my whole life from as far back as I can remember. I’ve always lived in households with pets growing up and at one time had as many as three cats and two dogs. My step mother is a certified vet tech and I spent time as a middle schooler helping care for animals that boarded at the animal hospital she worked at. I also spent time as a nanny for three girls and dog sitter of a pit bull and golden doodle on and off for a handful of years during college. I’ve had two seasons of farm experience managing and caring for livestock. Needless to say I am familiar with animal behavior and care needs. My family currently has a cat and Australian cattle dog mix that we love so much. I would love to walk your dog for any amount of time of any size, age, or type. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnight pet sitting at your home. Contact me with questions to see if we’d be a good fit for each other! I have availability throughout the whole week, Sunday through Saturday. I am available for drop-ins, walks and overnight stays, including stays over one week long. I am open to spend time with your pets in your own home. I can play with, feed, walk and cuddle with them depending on your and your pets needs.

About: I have two dogs and two cats. I have raised two puppies and rescued MANY cats- I clean daily and all of my animals are up to date on everything and get their teeth brushed for bed time. I take pride in caring for your animal the way you would. I’ve loved animals ever since I was a little girl, and my day job allows me to work from home so it’s easy to care for animals with a large fenced in back yard. My animals love to play and I plan on building a dog washing station outside this summer. I have four animals, and a room dedicated to fosters, so everyday I take care of my two cats and two pups (had since kittens and puppies) and I have worked very hard to ensure they are all friends. Many may say this, but I do a great job reading animals. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve fostered so many times or raised two kittens and puppies, but I pay attention to their feelings and needs. All of my animals follow a routine. My husband and I are both at home.

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.

About: I have experience caring for my family’s dogs as well as my boyfriend’s dog while their owners are out of town. I ensure they are taken outside for bathroom breaks before coming inside, maintain a consistent feeding schedule, and always make sure they have fresh food and water. I also enjoy working with dogs on basic training and have successfully taught my own dog commands such as “sit” and “shake.” I’m currently working full time at a daycare in Byron MN. I’m free anytime after 5pm-9pm on most weeknights and I’m available anytime on the weekends! I care for pets like they’re my own. I make sure pets are well feed and have water. I make sure to keep an eye on them well outside.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my unique combination of skills in puppy training and senior dog care. I use positive reinforcement methods to help puppies develop good habits and social skills, ensuring a smooth transition into adulthood. For senior dogs, I provide compassionate care that includes tailored exercise and medication management to keep them comfortable and healthy. My personalized approach and commitment to open communication ensure that both you and your furry friend feel secure and cared for while you're apart. On workdays, I start my morning with walks and playtime before my shift, setting a positive tone for both myself and the you fur babies! In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s routine to minimize stress. I follow their established schedules for feeding, walks, and playtime, while ensuring that their space remains clean and organized. I provide plenty of attention and affection, and I keep the home environment safe by being mindful of potential hazards. I also communicate regularly with pet owners, sending updates and photos to keep them informed and connected to their furry friends. Whether in my home or a client’s, my goal is to provide a nurturing and engaging experience for every pet in my care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - West Albany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 310 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Albany. 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 West Albany. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Albany.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 West Albany. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
