About: Personally I've had and cared for different pets throughout my entire life. This strong passion for animals is what led me to major in Animal Sciences in college. Professionally I've also worked as a veterinary assistant. My personal and professional experiences with animals ranges from small to large animals, the primary species being dogs, cats, birds and fish. Presently I have 3 dogs, 1 cat and several fish tanks. My schedule is very flexible, and most weeks I'm available 7 days per week for pet care. I can work with each person on an individual basis to create a schedule that works for both. I am very attentive to each pet's safety and well-being, and I have received training especially when working as a veterinary assistant on pet behavior, safety, health and creating the most stress-free environment as possible.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, I am comfortable administering medication orally or injections. I am the friend that dog sit for others while they were away knowing their fur babies were loved and taken care of every time. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as pups on the anxious side. I love all animals, just say the word and I will make sure whatever you need gets done! I have an open schedule and can work around whatever you need. I have a part time delivering jobs and I set my own hours and plan on working around other's schedule. I have a fenced in yard and have space to crate your dogs here if needed. I am open to coming to your house, will take on walks or stay home to play if that's not their things. I prefer to go to client's homes but can make anything work!

“Christina walked my 3 dogs daily while I was away. My dogs were very hesitant to walk at first and she was calm, patient and gentle with them to gain their trust. Her communication skills were excellent and she gave me frequent updates. I would hire her again to take care of my dogs.”

About: I am an experienced animal caretaker that is great with dogs and cats of all ages. Whether your pet is a puppy/kitten, senior, or anywhere in between, I am knowledgeable in all types of care needed. I am comfortable working with pets that need additional potty training help, special needs, and medication handling. Something unique about me is that I have experience owning reptiles (lizards, turtles), frogs, fish, and even ferrets, along with dogs and cats! I work part time so my schedule is super flexible. I can accommodate appointments every weekday and most weekends whether they are early morning, afternoon, or overnights. I have experience with: -Handling large, strong dogs -Crating dogs or cats if needed -Handling/feeding reptiles and amphibians -Securing gates and doors to make sure no pets try to escape! -My cats are all vaccinated and healthy, so there is no risk of me bringing any illness/germs into your homes!

About: I took a six month vet assistant course with three months of externship experience in a vet clinic where I got to have some hands on experience with different kinds of animals. I also have pets of my own, so I am able to tell how an animal is feeling based on their behavior and body language. My schedule is very flexible on the weekdays as I am currently working part time only on the weekends. At the moment I don't have anything els that takes up my time significantly, so rover will be my priority. Your pet will be the center of my attention! Whether it be playing tug of war or giving them cuddles, they will get the upmost care and consideration.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 6 years I was a vet tech for 3 years, and now I work as a part time dog trainer. I have a lot of experience with dog behavior and I’m very knowledgeable with any medications and dog health. I love helping or doing what I can making them happy! 🐕🐾🦴♥️ I’m currently working part-time, so I’m home the majority of the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention! I’m happy to go on long walks, have playtime, or simply hang back and relax—whatever makes your dog feel most comfortable. I also offer training for dogs of all ages if you’d like some extra help during their stay! Training can include leash walking, basic obedience, recall, place/bed, crate training, impulse control, jumping, door manners, puppy manners, and more. I can incorporate training into your pup’s daily routine to help reinforce good habits while they’re in my care! I provide a clean, comfortable, and structured environment while closely supervising each pet in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. With my background in veterinary care and professional dog training, I’m experienced in reading body language, managing different temperaments, and keeping pets safe around new environments and other animals\. I also make sure every pet receives plenty of individual attention, enrichment, and time to relax so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care.

About: *I do not charge an additional pet rate for drop in services. If you have 1 or 11 pets the drop in rate is the same. I am a pet owner and I know pet care is important and when you start paying per pet you start losing means to have the extra help you need! It’s nerve wracking leaving your animal behind and finding someone who you trust and your dog trusts. These are our 4 legged children. An animal lover from the start, always bringing home the injured or strays since a child and this life long passion is something I never outgrew. Experienced with first aid, emergency care and can quickly notice when something is off with your pet. Excellent care and references available- foster home for non profit rescues- Medication administered as needed. Potty training available for additional fee. Boarding/Walking availability is flexible but limited ***Please note: Your dog/dogs will be the only ones boarded with my resident dogs. I do not take multiple client boardings.*** I have two med-large dogs, one is active and one would rather just lounge unless someone wants to play ball. Theres always lots of social interaction but time for them to find a warm cozy place to just snooze too. My availability is flexible with room for additional walks / drop-in mid day. I’m always happy to review requests to see if they can be accommodated I have a 6 foot privacy fence and I am home most of the day. Both of my dogs are crate trained but can be found laying on the couch looking out the window

“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Woodstock on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,173 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Woodstock. 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 Woodstock. 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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
