About: My name is Julia and I grew up on a ranch in Texas, having dogs my entire life. I love getting outside and playing with my dogs, taking them on hikes, runs, and swimming at the lake. Because of all of these experiences, I truly understand how a dog becomes a part of your family. Taking care of a dog requires love, attention and patience- traits I've learned from interacting with my different dogs personalities. I have no problem playing with your dog for hours! I'm searching for a fulfilling activity to do outside of workl. I am available during the weekdays since I work remotely and anytime on weekends! I can run with your dog, practice basic tricks, or even do a photo session if you are in need of some pet photography! I work fully remotely, so my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility. I have the flexibility to easily drop by to do check ins or walks if need be. Safety is my priority when taking care of my friends pets, and I want to ensure that all care information is fully communicated before I head over.
About: I grew up with dogs of all different sizes and breeds along with the sweetest cats. I showered them all with love and affection as well as playing and walking the dogs. I am available all day and every day! I can take care of your little or big fur babies anytime and provide the attention and care needed! I have a fenced yard with four dogs that love to run around and play in. They love to chase each other around and are quite talkative to one another!
About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer both oral medication and insulin. I had a diabetic dog myself and gave him insulin shots twice a day for four years. I am also very good with cats and know how to take care of chickens. Animals are my passion. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.
About: I have experience with horses dogs, puppies, birds and cats. I have taken care of many peoples pets in home and out of home as they enjoy a stress free vacation knowing their pets are being taken care of. There will be an additional charge for horses, birds and fish tanks. Please let me know ahead of time if you have either. I have a schedule that allows me to pet sit or house sit for extended periods of time. I can also walk your pet on a daily basis. Or exercise your horse on a daily basis. My dog Tazzy is an indoor dog. She is a certified emotional support dog. She sleeps with me, travels with me most of the time. She loves all dogs and most kitties. Very well balanced.
About: Hey hey! My love for animals runs deep. Growing up, my family always had animals. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. Professionally, I have taken care of dogs and cats since high school. As a tree hugger through and through, your fur babies will be loved, adored, and showered with tons of attention. I would love the opportunity to walk your fur babies, stay with them while you’re away, or simply check on them during the day. I know how important our fur babies are to us, and for this reason, I promise and guarantee to treat yours as if they are my own. I will provide pictures and videos of my time with your babies! Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!
“Lucilla was a life saver! We had someone cancel on us last minute, and she was willing to jump in to help make sure our fur baby was taken care of. She is great at communicating and flexible. Highly recommended her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 838 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Advance. 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 Advance. 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 Advance 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 Advance. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
