About: I have taken care of dogs for family, friends, clients and coworkers for several years. I love animals of all kinds and am reliable, communicative, and pay close attention to pets in my care. Currently I work nights Sunday through Wednesday, so I’m currently not available for overnight stays on those days. I can stop by after work in the morning and throughout the day for check ins or walks. Thursday through Sunday (during the day) I’m available. I am happy to provide references and am also open to meeting in person beforehand so that I can answer any questions clients may have. I follow instructions to a “T” and will provide top quality care for your pets.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and just recently adopted two cats that I absolutely adore. I graduated from college for veterinary technology. I had to take care of my dogs all throughout my life before they had to be put down. I had a bullmastiff whose journey ended at 9.5 yrs old due to cancer. I now have two cats at home, Sebastian and Jasmine, and they keep me on my toes! Interested in sitting for cats and dogs. I work Monday through Friday 8-4 so I am unavailable mornings. Willing to do drop ins during the week and weekend and walks. No overnights unfortunately. I am very organized, clean, and maintain a proper schedule for my cats, as I would for others’. I do not accept boarding for my own home as my apartment is too small.
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful with Lucille. My 3 year old Bloodhound. I work a few long days every week. On those days Michelle come in for walks with Lucille.she is very dependable and trustworthy. Highly recommend.. I am so happy we found her!”
“Mary is the best! She is super kind, patient, and reliable. I appreciate all the photos and feedback she gives when watching our dog! She truly seems to love spending time with our dog. We are very appreciative to have her help us regularly with our current dog and past dog.”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life of different types and sizes, now I raise a mini Bernedoodle. I have taken multiple puppy training courses which I could apply to any age dog. I work in law enforcement. My schedule is flexible due to my job and I will update my availability ASAP according to my work schedule. I spoil my dog and will do the same for any that come into my home. No human food is my big rule. My Mini-Bernedoodle is just over one year now and raising her has been very rewarding. I have taken multiple training courses on training young dogs but could apply these concepts to any age dog. I have a good size yard which I am able to walk my dog around when she goes to the bathroom. My yard is 3/4 fenced in and my neighbor doesn’t have any pets.
“Jason has been walking my dog for a few weeks and very happy with his service. He's flexible and kind, and Beckett likes him which is Paramount! Would recommend him to anyone and all, his experience and demeanor are top notch.”
About: Although I've never personally owned a dog, I have experience with pet sitting and walking dogs that belong to my freinds and family members. I am confident that my love for animals and my ability to follow instructions will ensure the safety and happiness of your dog! I work full-time Monday-Friday, however my work schedule is hybrid so it allows me to be flexible to cater to your needs! I am also free all day most Saturdays and Sundays. When I am in a client's home I am always respectful and professional. I understand the importance of following instructions and I promise to take care of your furbaby like they are my own!
About: Have been extensively working with dogs now for over 15years. I am a world level sport dog trainer/competitor. I have a well established partnership with the PennVet Working Dog Center. I run my own dog related business, and train frequently with my own dogs so my days revolve around dogs! Drop offs/pick ups will work around my current dog training schedule. Dogs in my home must be crate trained, so everyone has their own space to relax. Non-crate trained dogs are not a candidate for my environment. I have 3 other dogs that social dogs are able to interact with. I have almost 2 acres to explore out in the country. Dogs will be walked on a long line until a fence is put in. If your dog likes car rides, he/she can tag along on pack field trips- hiking, group class, etc. I have extensive experience with high drive working/sport dogs.
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up, my family and I regularly took in sick, injured, or abandoned animals, nursing them back to health and giving them the love they needed to thrive. This early experience taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also the patience, compassion, and attentiveness it takes to truly understand an animal’s needs. While I love all creatures, I have a special connection with cats and dogs, and nothing brings me more joy than making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love, I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own. I am a business owner who works remote - which makes fitting pet care into my schedule fairly easy. So long as I have a day or so for notice and am not currently booked with anyone else, I can typically make myself available. I can easily provide my services in your home in order to ensure the comfort of your pets. I’m happy to take them outside to play, go for walks, feed them, snuggle them, and ensure litter boxes and yards are cleaned up during my visit.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since the age of 12. I have dog sat for many relatives, and I take extremely good care of my beagle! I have plenty of free time as I recently graduated college and most of my grad school classes will be online, I also love going on walks, and would love for a furry friend to join me! My full focus is on the safety of the dog. They are like my babies. I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy and healthy.
About: Growing up my family had 3 pups of our own and we also fostered, so i started learning how to work with and train dogs very early on. In 2022 I started dog sitting for people in my neighbourhood. In 2024 I worked at a daycare where I started doing training sessions for some of our clients. By 2025 I got certified in pet CPR and first aid, and started working at a different daycare. I love learning about and working with dogs, and i can’t wait to meet yours! I use a training/care style that makes trust and teamwork between me and your dog, i understand that when setting new expectations or training a new skill it is up to me to help the dog understand, not get frustrated or scare them into submission. I believe patience and consistency are keys to success! I am pretty much fully available weekends, mondays, and tuesdays! Any other day of the week i am available after 6pm when i get out of work. I do not pet sit in my own home because i have 2 disabled cats, however I am willing to stay in your home to pet sit, or just stop by throughout the day/night if that is what you prefer! I can work with any of your dogs special needs and administer medications. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority, tell me what you need and I will make it happen!
“Kevin was the primary care giver. He was helping me care for my husky with a wound. Kevin was patient and gentle with my dog. I was unsure how to get her foot soaked for 15 minutes twice a day. I am disabled and the vets office wasn't giving me any good advice. He showed me how to get her into the tub and keep her there for 15 minutes without over stressing her. He was very impressive. He obviously loves animals,and has a talent to calm them.”
About: I have aided in training both of our German shorthaired pointers growing up as well as a go-to pet carer and walker when close friends and family are on vacation or cannot get away from the office. I take time out of my day to do this for my current family & friends so I am used to making the pets a priority because that time of their day I get to spend with them is very crucial to their happiness since their owner cannot be there. I take pride in being chosen to be a part of different pets lives and have a vast experience with different breeds (aussies, bulldogs, labs, and cats are just to name a few!) Looking forward to chatting soon!! Pet care fits into my routine pretty frequently. I have an hour of lunch time to myself and use that to be able to let pets out and if the owner requests to stay with them a big longer, I do & finish up some work there if possible. Getting out at 5 p.m. every day is a benefit to the pets I go let out and spend time with because the rest of the night I am free. My availability is Monday-Sunday! I care for the pets with mostly the instructions the owner gives like if they need fed or not etc but I always always always make sure to play with them, give them pets, and make sure they are used to me before anything else. If they have a fenced in yard I will play with them but in other cases when the dog is staying in my house with me, I always give them walks throughout the day as well as bring them to a cages in dog park near my house so they can roam free a bit without the leash.
About: We have a pet friendly home with a huge fenced in yard just ready for your pup to come "home" and play. We will love your fur baby as we love ours. ❤️ Non Smoker. Our dog is current with all vaccines and rabies shots! I am blessed to be able to work from home. This allows me to provide the quality care, love and attention your dog deserves. I am willing to provide medications and walks. We have a very large fenced in yard , this offers your pup an area to run or just relax. We also have an 8year old Bulldog who is a jug of love but not much of a socialite...he may just lay around most the day 😉
About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 25 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! My goal is to keep your pets happy until their favorite human gets home. 😀 I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)
About: I am a recent college graduate with a passion for animal care. Besides having two dogs of my own, I have dogsat for many friends and family members, with all different breeds of dogs. I am a huge animal lover and would love to meet your pet and take great care of them! I will send updates with photos because I know how it can be stressful being away from your pets/family! I currently work part-time, so have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am off on Tuesdays, and Fri/Sat/Sun I only work until 12pm, so still lots of free time on weekends. I have a huge yard with lots of room for your pet to play in! It isn’t fenced in but I will keep them on a leash! I also live by the Genesee County Park where I can walk them, play fetch, etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 952 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alden. 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 Alden. 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 Alden.
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 Alden. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
