“Ugur provides top-notch service walking our dog. He is kind and friendly. We hired him to walk our 7-month old puppy and she loves him. Although we hired him to walk our dog, when he came for a meet and greet, our cat warmed up to him immediately and let her pet him, which she normally doesn't do for most people. We highly recommend his services!”

About: I know first hand how much love there is between a dog and their owner. For that reason, I believe trust, transparency, and fun are the pillars of my dog walking service. When you entrust me to care for your pet, I will make sure they are always safe, hydrated, and having fun! I also always send updates after walks letting clients know how the walk went and that dogs are home safe. As a dog owner, I have had family dogs ranging from a 6 lbs Yorkie to a 65 lbs Lab. Outside of my own pets, I have experience cat- and dog-sitting for friends and family and am excited to be able to take on more dog walking clients. I am comfortable walking dogs of many breeds, sizes and ages. I can't wait to meet your furriest family members! I am a graduate student, so I often have a flexible schedule to work around your needs. I am available for early morning and evening walks every day of the week and midday walks every day Wednesday-Sunday. Safety is my top priority for your pet, your home, and myself. This is why before working with your pet, I will request a meet-up with you to better understand your pet. In this meeting we can discuss if your pet has any aggression or fear around other dogs, escape-artist tendencies, or special needs so that walks can be as safe and secure as possible.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have an 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patient, attentive care and maintaining pets’ routines and comfort. My sweet dog lives with my mom at the moment, so I miss her dearly and hope to get my fill of dog love on Rover! In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in visits for many dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, administering basic care, and making pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I always prioritize clear communication and send regular photo updates (I certainly demand many from my mom and would provide the same for you!) so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of availability to take care of your darling pup or kitty. I am available most weekends and weekday early evenings. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and rest. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and older pets, including my own 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I have been around animals since I was born. Something I learned from my father was that our animals weren't just some objects and that they were part of the family. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. I am also a quick learner and am able to adapt to whatever routine is needed to care for your animal the best. I am doing my masters at tufts university, but most of the weekdays I have big gaps in the middle of the day. During this time I can care for animals in whatever way needed. I have 6 cats and 1 dog in my family home where I currently commute from. I walk the dog usually once a day, i clean cat litter once a day, and feed all animals regularly.

About: I grew up with pets at home and absolutely LOVE dogs! I have been dog-sitting for the last few years and love saying hi to all the dogs around my neighborhood. It would make me SO happy to hang with and spoil your pup! :) I am currently fully available for dog sitting! I am not expecting to return to work until after November 1st. In the meantime, my schedule is completely flexible. I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs in their own home as well as environments that are unfamiliar to them. I am comfortable walking dogs who are reactive and/or still working on their leash skills :) I will be highly attentive to your dog's needs and respectful of your space when in your home.

“Lauren has been so thoughtful and kind with our pup Keira! Keira had recently been bit when Lauren started with her, which meant she had some reactive behavior around other dogs. Lauren kept us updated every walk on how she did, and was open to using some of the training methods we used with Keira to help on walks. I would highly recommend Lauren for walks with your dog!”

Erin provides excellent care for my pup! Awesome communication before, during and after the walk. We got together for a meet and greet before the first walk and I knew Erin would be a great fit for us! I feel super comfortable relying Erin to walk my pup. And best of all, my anxious 12 year old dog loves her!!

Hadley was great with Luther; she asked excellent questions about his likes/dislikes/habits at our meet and greet. She was also very understanding with me on a very chaotic weekend and was helpful in navigating the app for me in updating schedule for the first time. I hope we can work together again, as Luther really enjoyed time together. Thank you, Hadley!

FAQs for Dog Walking - West Medford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Medford on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,692 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Medford. 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 Medford. 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 Medford.

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 Medford. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
