About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for years, with dogs of all different shapes, sizes, and needs. I've walked dogs, checked in, or spent the night. I'm an avid animal lover and love meeting and spending time with new dogs! I'm a college student home for the summer with lots of flexibility in my schedule. Even though I'm a college student early mornings are fine with me, I'm happy to be with your dog any time of the day. I'm adaptable to whatever rules and established routines you have in your home. I don't mind getting up early and I'm an avid walker so I'm happy to get outside any time.

About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I am currently looking for a vet assistant job so my schedule is open 7 days a week! I am used to all day pet sitting. I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.

I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.

Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?

About: I absolutely love making both new people and animal friends. Since losing my dog 5 years ago, my focus has been on traveling, and pet sitting has been a wonderful way to do that. I love all dogs, big and small, and as an avid walker, if your dogs love to walk, I am your girl. I have several regular clients from both near and far, so I am happy to provide references for dogs and cats. I work remotely, so I am with your pets throughout the entire day. Also, your rules for your pets and your home become my rules, and I follow your rules to the T. I also work through another service where my reviews are stellar; the best review being that I am being asked to return back again and again. Below are several of my recent reviews: "Valerie (“Auntie Val”) is truly exceptional, and we feel incredibly lucky every time she’s able to stay with our dogs, Mashed Potatoes and Magnus. Knowing she was with them made our recent trip to Morocco so much easier—we were able to fully relax because we knew they were in the absolute best hands. She kept us updated with frequent messages and lots of great photos, which we always appreciate. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she’s looking after. When Magnus had a bit of an allergy flare-up, Valerie was proactive, attentive, and more than willing to help treat it—even though he can be quite stubborn about his lotion treatments. She handled it with patience and care, and we were so grateful for her effort. We also came home to a spotless house, which is always such a gift after traveling. Valerie goes above and beyond in every way—she’s thoughtful, communicative, responsible, and incredibly kind. We always feel completely at ease when Valerie is with our dogs, and that peace of mind is priceless. If she’s available to sit for you, do not hesitate—your pets and your home will be exceptionally well cared for." "Valerie has taken care of our pup and our home several times now and she's always a joy. She is intuitive with our dog and he's always overjoyed to see her. One of the best things about Val, is that she's so friendly and communicative - so if anything comes up or if she has questions, it's simple to figure it out together. Not to mention she leaves the house sparkly." "Valerie is a top notch sitter, lovely human, and a true dog whisperer! From the moment she walked in (and yes, she literally walked 30 mins to our meet and greet because she’s that active) I knew it was a great fit because my typically shy Cavalier Rosie went right up to her for some lovin’. My other Cavalier, Winston, was beyond happy to see her too and they became fast friends 💛 I truly cannot say enough good things about Valerie. She managed Rosie’s 4 heart medications like a pro, was extremely adept at making sure my aging senior pups didn’t have any accidents despite Rosie being on a water pill, and gave them soooo much love and care, including extra walks for Winston who just loved that I’m sure 💛 She also provided detailed daily updates and made me feel so comfortable being far away from them. Valerie went above and beyond, even staying an extra night to allow me a bit more time to see my parents, washed leashes and blankets, watered plants I had forgotten about, and left notes and pre-stuffed pill pockets to keep Rosie’s schedule on track. And after a long, delayed flight, I came home to freshly washed sheets on the bed, two happy dogs who will miss her dearly, and no messes from the pups. I was blown away by how seamless Valerie made the whole experience." "Valerie is a wonderful pet sitter! She is reliable and professional. But, more importantly, she really bonds with the dogs. She spends time playing and relaxing with them. She makes sure they are active and safe. Valerie has even stopped by just to say hi to our dogs, Tupelo and Clover when she is not watching them. We fully trust the care of our home and our beloved dogs with Valerie." I currently work remotely, so I will be home with your kids for the majority of the time. As I work for myself, I can work most of my schedule around your pet's needs. I take this work seriously, and fit my day around their schedule. My priority is making sure they are happy and safe. I only care for pets in a client's home. Both through my old career as an interior designer and now pet sitting for 5 years, I am very confident in being able to accommodate to the needs of both your pet and your home. I am very self-reliant with the needs of pets, plants and pad!

About: I’ve taken care of a multitude of different dogs and cats throughout my life - whether it be for friends, neighbors, family, or even coworkers! I have lots of experience in cat care - including grooming, nail trimming, and oral medications. I have 3 cats of my own, so I’m very adaptive to all sorts of cat personalities! My experience with dog care is just as plentiful! I’ve taken many on fun walks, played fetch, groomed fur, and dispensed oral medication. I’m rather good when it comes to pulling on leashes, and I also have experience training young puppies. I’m available at all times during the week! Whether you’re looking for someone to check in on your pup to feed, give bathroom breaks, groom, or play with, I’m available morning, afternoon and evening! The same applies to kitty owners! I always make sure all fenced in homes are securely locked in the event a dog wants to play outside. All leashes and collars will be checked before walks, and if your dog isn’t friendly with other dogs I will be sure to maintain a safe space between myself and other owners. As for cats, I always make sure that all doors are quickly closed and closed all the way to prevent any indoor kitties from escaping. If your cat is outdoor/indoor, I’ll make sure they get back inside safe and sound!

Mike was fantastic! This was our first time using a walker for our dog and he not only made the process very easy but extremely comfortable for us. He even came and met us and our dog before we completed the booking. He was very communicative the entire time we were away and it was a huge relief to know our beloved pet was in good hands!

About: I have grown up around animals and have extensive experience with pet care and the adoption process, which has strengthened my passion for providing loving, attentive care. Over the years, I have become a trusted choice for many families because of my dedication, reliability, and commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in ensuring that animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a college student working part-time mostly at night allowing me lots of time during the day to walk and play your pups! I am able to travel to your house and am able to take the pup on a walk or just stay and play for a bit!

About: As a lifelong animal lover with both a cat and dog of my own (Peanut Butter and Jammy!), I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. While I’m new to pet sitting on this app, I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends and family—everything from playful puppies and kittens to senior fur babies needing extra TLC. I treat all the pets I watch like my own and never skimp on care to make sure they get just as much time and attention as they do when they are with you! I have hands-on experience administering medication and supporting pets who may not be feeling their best, and I’m always patient and gentle with those who need a little extra attention. I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and their normal routine. I’ll be available around the clock for all your pet’s needs! What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care. I let each pet guide our interactions so they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I’m really attentive and observant, so it’s easy for me to tell how your pet is doing and make them feel at ease!

Selina (Haoran Y.) has been such a blessing for me and my dog Casper. She is timely, professional, and friendly. My dog is so excited to see her that he often queues up at the front door 30 minutes before her arrival, he doesnt even do that for me! I feel lucky that we both have her helping out and am sure you will feel the same if you utilize her services.

Keira walked our dog Ducky twice a week for 5 months from March to July. She was able to take on this scheduled walk in short notice, even though it was late walks ending at 10 PM. Keira was a great walker, and Ducky really liked and got along with her! Being a 1 year old 75-pound lab mix with infinite energy, Ducky definitely was a lot to handle, but Keira was able to take on the challenge and be a great companion to Ducky! She was very detailed, noting all the bio breaks Ducky took along the way and gave us an updates after coming back. Thank you so much Keira for all your help these past few months!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Woodland Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Woodland Acres on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 16,425 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Woodland Acres. 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 Woodland Acres. 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 Woodland Acres.

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 Woodland Acres. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
