“Ken was great for our pug puppy's first walk! He was accommodating and super communicative, which made planning easy — a nice change from other local walkers who can be slow to respond. He was responsible with our pup, and she clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”

About: With 6 years of hands-on dog ownership and experience caring for friends’ pups, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, loving care guaranteed! Your pet will feel at home with me. With a hybrid work schedule and a 5-minute commute, I’m perfectly set up to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. On work-from-home days, your pet has my company all day. On office days, I’m close enough to pop home during breaks to check in and care for them. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or visiting theirs, I prioritize their comfort and well-being above everything. I follow their existing routine to keep them settled, provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, and plenty of playtime. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in safe hands.

About: If your dog could write a review, it would probably say something like, “finally, someone who gets me”. I have spent years working with kids in after-school programs, summer camps, and youth organizations. Dogs and kids have a lot in common. They both need structure, patience, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around them. I am that person. I am active, reliable, and I take every responsibility seriously. Your dog will not just be watched. They will be walked, played with, talked to, and genuinely cared for like they are part of the family. A few things about me. I am an early riser so morning walks are never a problem. I am calm under pressure and a barker, a puller, or a muddy paw situation does not rattle me. I communicate consistently so you will always know how your pup is doing. I treat every home I enter with complete respect. Whether you need a walk, a drop in, or someone to stay overnight, your dog is in good hands. I show up on time every time and I genuinely enjoy what I do. Your peace of mind matters as much as your dog's tail wagging. Both are guaranteed. pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my schedule, it IS my schedule. I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

About: I have a couple years of doing in house sitting, dog walking and cat care. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also am able to help give medication if needed. I am reliable, consistent with communication during my time with your pet (s). *For new clients* I do ask to schedule a meet and greet before I confirm an appointment so owners like you, and your pets can get to know me and able to go over what services your pet needs. My availability is pretty consistent. Mondays I am unavailable. Tuesdays my day is flexible, Wednesday-Friday availability is after 1pm-7pm. I am more than happy to coordinate schedules to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean and loving environment. I follow all care instructions carefully and ensure pets get the attention, exercise and supervision they need. If medication is required, I make sure to confirm with you as the owner on instructions. As well as any other routine that your pet is in. I also provide updates with lots of photos and videos so owners can feel confident and relaxed while their pets are in my care. If any incidents or possible illness occurs during my time with them I will reach out to you and follow any future steps you would like me to do.

About: I've always loved animals and used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was younger. I also got my first dog 10 years ago--she is my best friend and I love her more than anything :) I'm responsible for grooming, feeding, and walking her, plus regular check ups to make sure she's healthy. My favorite thing to do though is playing with her and cuddling! In regard to my schedule, I am currently working full time from 9-5pm, Monday through Friday. Any other times outside of that window I am available! I am also going on vacation from August 8 to August 15. Since I am a pet owner myself, I am able to take care of your pet(s) in any way needed. I am able to understand different personalities and needs among various animals and adjust accordingly!

“I’ve had a great experience with Ronit so far! She came to our house for an initial meet and greet so she could get to know Rooney and make sure it was a good fit. Rooney can be a little territorial with new people in the house, and I really appreciated how calm and patient she was with him. She let him investigate her and get comfortable before trying to interact with him and never rushed him. When she came back for his first walk the following week, everything went great! She said Rooney was a very good boy, and he seems to have accepted her already. 😊 It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who understands dogs and took the time to earn his trust. I’m very happy we found Ronit and would definitely recommend her!”

Robert was great with Lacy! He was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive throughout both visits. He sent updates and photos, took great care of her, and even went above and beyond when she had an upset stomach and an accident in her crate. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while we were away. Lacy clearly enjoyed her time with him, and we’d happily book Robert again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Zarephath

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Zarephath is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 9,787 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Zarephath. 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 Zarephath. 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 Zarephath 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 Zarephath. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
