About: Hello! I have been taking care of my close friends' animals for a few years now. My friends all trust me explicitly and know I will love their babies like they do. I've now been referred to so many people, I've decided to make it a full time side business. I would love to have a huge farm one day where I can rescue all the unwanted animals and give them the lives they deserve. I work from home so I can keep dogs all day during the week. I am in and out on weekends, so I can keep animals on weekends I am in town, as long as they are ok in a house with my dog or in their crate. I have a large, fenced in back yard, 1 friendly male Boykin, neutered. I allow animals to sleep on the bed with me and they are allowed on the couch. I walk my dog at least twice a day and usually take him to the park or beach on weekends. My boyfriend and I live together so he will be around as well.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs and cats all my life as well as caring for friends/family’s pets for 15 years, I have done a lot of volunteer work at two shelters and fostered some until they were adopted or when they were healing from injury or sickness. I have experience with all ages, conditions, and bizarre situations! between house pets, farm animals, exotics, wife life, birds, reptiles, small pets Ive done it all! I am cautious, responsible, and reliable because animals are my true passion, and I cant help but spend extra time with each one- their company makes my day. it’s very important to me that your pet doesn’t get bored or anxious while his or her owner is away. I have a dental hygiene license and certification in CPR (human and animal🙂) and use my knowledge from that as well. I am currently taking classes for animal behavior and caretaking as well. I have taken care of newborns, seniors, the blind/deaf, the mildly sick, the terminally ill, and many other health issues. I have a clean driving record and pet seats in my car as well as carriers and harnesses of all sizes along with anything your pet could possibly need. toys, bowls, slow feeders, strollers, beds, grooming supplies, large and small crates, separation gates, pet cameras, puppy pads, doggie bags, seatbelts, light up and reflective gear for night walks, etc. same for cats!! . I can always work around your schedule to be available when needed! Feel free to let me know if you need plants watered, mail brought in, trash put out, supply run, anything. I will be your fur baby/babies’ new best friend! If I am doing doggie day care or boarding at my house, i have a large fenced in yard and tennis court. I have 2 small chihuahuas and 5 cats, and a fish. all completely harmless, but I usually keep my dogs separated on the opposite side of the house because they mostly sleep. The only dogs I cannot board are dogs that chase cats because it is too hard to separate them and it causes them stress. I will keep in contact with you as often as you please and send pictures and videos of our time together. Your dog or cat or any other pet will be in excellent and loving hands!! I have additional references fhrough other businesses I have worked for or still work for as well as my own individual clients upon request, which is what most of my clients are. And if you’d like even more references I can provide dental hygiene references, business management, and property rental management. I will also provide you with emergency contact information and anything else you may need. Reviews on Wag, trusted house sitters, care, pet sitter, coastal cat care, Meowtel, Charleston sloth and exotics As of now my schedule is adaptable 99% of the time to accommodate your needs.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs from all backgrounds and ages. I have learned to pick up cues from each individual. I have taken care of elderly dogs, administered medication and cleaned up after accidents. I have also done mini training sessions with puppies and established healthy boundaries. I work part time, but love to prioritize pet care as it’s such a love of mine. Consistency in visits works best, but I’m happy to pop in and hang out with your furry children when needed! I’m very respectful of dogs spaces and won’t bother them when they’re trying to relax that goes for in my home or in yours occasionally I will give treats, but not without parents consent

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years, and pet sat for clients with cats, dogs, and a wide range of exotic animals. I was born into an animal-lover family, and grew up caring for my two dogs who lived for 18 long years. I now have 2 rescued kitty siblings that are super friendly with other animals. My schedule can be flexible and tailored to suit the needs of the client. I will need to know the frequency of potty breaks, exercise needs, etc. My house has a half acre of open grass field to run and play with a side door area that is fenced in for easy bathroom breaks. Down the street are the beautiful Whitney lakes and several trails for leisurely walks!

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for three dogs growing up, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to manage different personalities and energy levels. I’m confident with daily routines, walks, feeding, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I am currently working part time. I’m available for pet care on Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays and would love to help out! I will be out of town from July 30th to August 22nd, but I’m happy to book before or after those dates. Pet care means following the owner’s instructions carefully while making sure the pet feels safe, fed, and comfortable. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on regular walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and playtime. It’s also important to keep them safe and follow any house rules. I always make sure to communicate with updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid and have always loved playing with them, walking them, and just loving on them! I’ve got a 3 year old corgi named Gus of my own and he loves to play and go on walks with other dogs. I’m a nurse at MUSC and my schedule differs every week, but I can be flexible when able! I walk my dog multiple times a day and we play in the dog park at my apartment as well as on the beach. They can play together or I can keep my dog completely separate from your pup! My apartment is very dog friendly and there is a big dog park in my complex for them to play. There’s also a smaller fenced in park in case they’re not very social. I’ve also got plenty of safe space around me for long walks with your pup!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have cared for a wide variety of pets with different needs. This includes amputees and FIV cats as well. I work fully remote which allows me the flexibility to house and pet sit pretty much any time and any day of the week! I recently moved back to Charleston and I’m looking to grow my connections! I’ve lived with cats and dogs most of my life, but do not have any pets of my own at this time. I would prefer to let your pet stay at your home where they are most comfortable, and travel as needed, but can accommodate accordingly.

About: I love being active and outside so your dog would always have a workout and a good time exploring with me! I have my own dog, a 10 year old blue heeler mix, who is friendly with other dogs if you are comfortable with your pet going on walks at the same time as her! I have experience giving dogs medications, both topically and orally. I enjoy running and walking and going to the beach so I am happy to take your pet on an adventure if you’d like! I am a nurse ao my availability is flexible! I have a dog as well so let me know if your dog enjoys company and they can play together. Understanding how a pet’s owner cares for their dog is the most important thing in order to maintain a comfortable environment for your pet. Communication about what is best for your pup is valued!

About: Hello all, I have been working at a dog training and boarding facility for 4 years and have volunteered/fostered animals for the past 2 years. I work at Doggieology101 when I am home and have volunteered/fostered at Animal Friends Alliance here in Fort Collins. I love dogs and all animals so this is more of a passion than a job to me. Since I have worked with dogs for so long I will not turn away any age dog or any breed I know all dogs come with their own story so I can accommodate for whatever needs your pup may have. From puppies to seniors my door is open for all. I go to school part time from 5:30-10 pm:) so anytime between that time frame will work for me! I have my own dog Rudy who can play with your pup if you would like:) I have a fenced in yard where I will take the dogs out to do their business. Since I have my own dog I will feed each dog in my home separately. Rudy (my dog) eats at 12 pm and 8 pm due to medical reasons but I can feed your dog whenever you would like. I also can take them on walks if asked and can feed them at whatever time they normally eat. I like to make it as normal as possible for them.

About: As a cat mom to my cat, Remi, I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur baby. Caring for Remi has given me experience with feeding, playtime, keeping a clean and comfortable environment, understanding a pet’s needs, and of course giving lots of love and attention. 🐾 I’m patient, caring, dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ll treat your pet like family and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. ❤️ I’m a full-time college student who commutes to school, with classes typically from 10 AM–3 PM. Outside of school, I attend Bible study on Wednesdays and church service on Sundays. This still gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, care, and companionship they need. 🐾 I understand that life and schedules can change, so I do my best to stay flexible. If any last-minute changes come up in my routine, I’ll adjust accordingly to make sure both my pet and yours are cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. Your pet’s routine and well-being will always be a priority while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. As a cat mom to Remi, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll always treat your pet with patience, love, and respect while making sure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, routines, boundaries, and other special preferences. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. 🐾❤️

I was very nervous to use Rover but since I have to stay late at work occasionally, I wanted an option for my dog. Sam has been so great with Charlie. He’s very flexible and communicative. He’s been letting her out once a week and it’s really put my mind at ease. He always sends me a picture and gives me a little update. He was also very patient and understanding of me being nervous to let someone else take care of my dog. I know my dog Charlie really likes him as well.

Rowan loves her "Auntie Kristina" as we love to call her. Kristina is so loving and kind with our pup - she loves her like its her own dog. We trust her implicitly to take care of our pup when we're not around. Rowan can be shy and hesitant to walk people (other than us) and Kristina is consistently patient! If she can't get Row on a walk, she makes sure she still gets some good backyard time and a ton of snuggles. 10/10 would recommend Kristina for all your dog needs!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Woodhaven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Woodhaven is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 2,565 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Woodhaven. 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 Woodhaven. 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 Woodhaven 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 Woodhaven. 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 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.
