“Arianna accepted our booking request on an unexpected short notice and we were so grateful for that as we were planning to leave for our trip. She took our 80 lb Labrador Retriever, Dallas, on daily one-hour walks while we were away attending our daughter's college orientation in Oregon. It's obvious how much he enjoys spending time with Arianna. Dallas will definitely miss her! I also appreciated that she stayed in touch throughout our trip and regularly sent photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Arianna again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Dallas!”

Typically 8am-4pm. I am open to make changes to fit your needs and schedule. I have an accommodating job.

About: Friendly and Personal I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m great with puppies who need guidance and routine, and I have a soft spot for older pets who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets get the right mix of play, structure, and comfort. I'm currently working part time so I will have lots of free time to spend with your fur baby ensuring they have a good time away from home. I have a fenced in yard and a pet friendly home. I will treat them like family in my home. If needed I can walk them and cage them if the service calls for drop ins.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet.

Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m able to easily work feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine rather than making them adjust to mine. This flexibility also allows me to spend quality time with your pet and make sure they aren’t left alone for long periods while you’re away. 🐾💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved family member and someone’s personal space, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a young child. Most animals trust me, and love my energy. They have always been my focus, and I know they can sense my genuine love for them. My pet care journey started in 2016. I never knew a pet care business existed before then. Once I started meeting clients and animals... It just became natural to me.

Shane was the absolute best! Our 80-lb Labrador Retriever, Dallas, absolutely loved him. From the very beginning, Shane made us feel at ease by keeping us updated with pictures and videos throughout our time away. Our biggest concern was Dallas’s strength and whether a walker would be able to handle him, but Shane had no problem with him at all. He was patient, confident, and clearly comfortable handling our big boy. Being away was hard because we missed Dallas so much, but knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to Shane for taking such great care of our boy. We would absolutely recommend him and would definitely book with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,468 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Akupu. 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 Akupu. 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 Akupu 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 Akupu. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
