About: I’ve been caring for and walking dogs ever since I was 10. I’ve handled both puppies and older dogs. I love spending time with all dogs and making them feel as special as they are. By giving walks, cuddles, and attention your dog is sure to feel happy and safe with me I’m taking online classes which makes me currently completely available and flexible to taking care of your pets. I can adjust to whatever you need in order to take care of your furry friend. Walks, playtimes, and attention anytime during the day will bring me absolute joy. When caring for your furry friends, I will treat your space as such I do mine. I will follow your instructions carefully and ensure that I leave you home as you left it. I will provide updates whenever taking care of your pets and make sure your furry friends receives the love they deserve

About: I work throughout the week as a security professional so I'm not available all the time but when I am I'll be glad to look after your loved one's. Anything you need for your security such as i.d. or where I work I will provide so that you know your pet is safe with me. I'm doing this as a side job because I know I will enjoy doing this and my parents would tell me do something you love and get paid to do it so here I am. I look forward to watching your little kids I mean that's basically what they are and if you need to contact me feel free to do so. You can contact me anytime for any reason. I look forward to looking after your little ones. Currently work security since last year of February but I always make time to walk my dog or take him to the park. He does have lots of energy so we tend to play around a lot. I treat them just like my baby show them lots of love and play I’m very attentive to my dogs needs. I’m practically with my dog all day.

About: I've had dogs growing up, so I can tell when they're nervous or if something is wrong. I own a husky who is now 2, and loves walks and play time! She's also a cuddler, so cuddles will be provided! My poodle who is 7 years old is still full of energy, but, sometimes likes her privacy. So I have dogs of multiple personalities. I'm a full-time student and also a brand new mom. My fiancé works overnight so, there is no issue on who can watch my baby. I speak 2 languages, and I trying to receive my certificate in another. I speak: English, Spanish, and ASL (The language I'm trying to get my certificate in.) I hope to hear from you guys soon!

Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, looking after my own pets and neighbor's dog when they're out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it be my own or a neighbor's, l've always gone above and beyond to ensure that the animal is well taken care of. I will make sure your dog gets the specific attention and care that they need, and they have an enjoyable experience. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. Sparky is the reason behind it all. He showed me a love I can’t even fully put into words, loyal, pure, and unconditional. He wasn’t just my dog, he was my comfort, my routine, and a piece of my heart. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, and there are still moments I feel that emptiness so deeply. But at the same time, he gave my life so much meaning and showed me exactly the kind of care and love every dog deserves. Because of Sparky, I’m more patient, more understanding, and more intentional with every dog I care for. I know how much they mean to you, because I know what it feels like to love a dog with your whole heart. A part of him lives on in everything I do, in every walk, every cuddle, and every moment I spend making sure your babies feel safe and loved. I am a dedicated dog sitter with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, allowing me to offer drop in appointments on any day that works best for you. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. I will also send you lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay or towards the end of the visit(s) For safety, I also ask that you provide emergency contact details and your preferred veterinarian's information.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I've cared for pets much larger than myself and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I have experience giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure each pet's individual needs are met. I'm also experienced with reactive dogs, as well as anxious dogs and cats. I understand the importance of staying calm, reading body language, and creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Communication is a priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am fully available during the summer months (June through August), which allows me to provide flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. During the school year, I work in a school-based setting, so I am available in the evenings and most weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable care, exercise, and affection. For the comfort and safety of pets, I primarily provide care in the client’s home. This helps pets stay in their familiar environment and reduces stress, especially for dogs that may be anxious or reactive. I do live in a back house where the property owners have three small dogs, so for safety and to ensure a calm environment, I prefer not to introduce new dogs into that space. I am open to cat boarding on a case-by-case basis. I also have a strictly indoor cat in my home who is well-adjusted and calm around other animals. I am available for overnight stays and in-home care, and I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while following owner instructions closely.

About: I have experience with Rottweilers, Cane Corso, and French Bulldogs. I rescued my frenchie about 4 years ago when he was a 1 year old. He has given me experience in bathroom cleanup, vet visits, grooming, playtime, feeding, etc. I also have some experience with fostering a second dog while living with him. I am currently a full time student with extra time but not enough for a full time job. Caring for pets sounds like a fulfilling job for me. I have a genuine love for all pets and care for them all equally. I have experience with aqua life, reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles, cats, and of course dogs.

About: What sets me apart is honestly my genuine love for animals. It started when I was around 12 years old when I got my very first dog, and ever since then I completely fell in love with caring for animals. Over time, my family and I adopted more dogs. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to personally care for and babysit their dogs over the years. Sometimes I’ll stop by throughout the day to check on their pups, feed them, play with them, and make sure they’re doing okay, while other times their dogs have stayed at my house for a few days or even a few weeks. Having so many pets has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and understanding different animal personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for many different kinds of animals growing up, including fish, hamsters, lizards, and birds, so I’ve learned a lot about caring for all types of pets. My own dogs have also had litters of puppies before, which taught me so much about caring for newborn puppies and younger dogs. Because of that, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I truly see animals as family, and I love making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I already spend a lot of my time around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently work part-time only on weekends, but my hours and availability are very flexible since I basically make my own schedule. That allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets are supervised, cared for closely, and treated like family in a clean and calm environment. In a client’s home, I always follow their instructions carefully and try to keep their pet’s normal routine so they can feel relaxed and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have experience taking care my own, friends’, and Rover dogs of all sizes and personalities by feeding, walking, training, and house sitting. Having owned my own large dog, I know the privilege and responsibility required to care and love your buddy. I am open to any special needs or care your dogs may require and am happy to work with your agenda. Growing up in a household with two cats and two dogs, I am more than happy to accommodate both types of pets! :) I work full-time schedule during the week, so my dedicated pet-sitting days are my priority during my time off. I treat my days off as fully committed 'pet days,' allowing me to focus on consistent routines and care for your pet. On my sitting days, my routine is completely centered around the animals in my care. A typical day includes structured morning and evening walks, dedicated playtime, and maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules. Because I value an active and healthy lifestyle, I love incorporating pets into my own daily movement for morning walks, a midday stroll, or active play sessions to keep them stimulated and happy. I also enjoy watching YouTube and Netflix, so if your pet prefers relaxing or feeling tired that day, I am happy to put on a show as well. I am excited to give the structure, exercise, and love your pet needs to feel comfortable and enjoy our time together. I am hoping to care for pets in your home, because I find it keeps them happiest and reduces any stress. By blending seamlessly into your pet’s routine and environment for feeding, exercise, and bedtime, I can keep them active, healthy, and stimulated with structured walks and plenty of dedicated playtime. Of course, I’ll treat your home with respect and security, making sure to send regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been caring for my dogs since I was just a child and have always felt a deep connection to animals. I used to do dog walking for some time and have volunteered in a grooming location as well. You can be certain your furry friend will receive the best care with me! I currently stay at home with my son so I have a pretty open schedule. In the afternoon we go for walks in our neighborhood so we'd love to bring your pup along on a walk with us! We have a front and backyard which are both enclosed with a gate. It's pretty spacious so we'd definitely have a good time. At the moment I don't have a pet of my own- we recently lost our girl due to age at 15 years old. She was such a sweet girl and we loved her dearly. We hope to adopt another one in the near future, but for now I'd like to take care of other babies. You can be confident that your dog will be provided with my best attention. Maintaining his or her routine, such as feeding schedules, will also be my top priority.

We are so glad we came across Su! Before booking her services, we did a meet-and-greet, and Obi liked her from day one. Not only Obi, but all of our fur babies at home warmed up to her immediately. Su followed all of our instructions carefully, and what I appreciated most were the photo updates and regular check-ins while we were away. We are beyond happy with her service and truly can’t say enough great things about her. I was a little skeptical at first about trying the app, but I’m so glad I did. Obi absolutely fell in love with Su and already misses her. We definitely found our person, and we’re excited to book with her many more times in the future. Thank you so much, Suyoon!

My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - West Athens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Athens on Rover is $10 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 21,152 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Athens. 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 Athens. 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 Athens.

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 Athens. On Rover:

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