About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and taking care of animals has always been something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for years. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like they are part of my own family and make sure they get the love and care they deserve. Monday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM Wednesday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM Friday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM I’m available during these times for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’d love to spend some time with your pets, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I offer dog walks and drop-in visits and always make your pet’s safety and comfort my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep a close eye on them, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also treat your home with respect and leave everything the way I found it. ❤️🐶

About: I have over 20 years experience as a pet sitter. I had two dogs named, Gizmo, breed - Shiatsu/Maltese mix, 7 pounds, 16 years old and Bullet, breed - Maltese/poodle mix 25 pounds 16 years old who've passed away displayed in my profile pictures. Your Pet's home away from home. Taking care of your babies is important, by providing a Pet friendly neighborhood with a park a block away and a fenced in backyard for your pets to enjoy. My experience in Pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I'm availble weekdays and weekends from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I'm an empty nester so can provide your fur baby with all the attention they need. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love for animals. I’d love to use that passion to help others when they need it!

About: I provide confident, compassionate care for all dogs, including pups with fear, human‑aggression history, dog‑reactivity, or high working‑breed drive. I’m a naturally fast walker, I love staying active, and I’m comfortable handling dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication. I’ve personally owned and rehabilitated dogs across the spectrum — from easygoing family companions like Goldens to complex working mixes. My current dog is a Malinois/German Shepherd rescue, and before her I’ve cared for dogs with significant fear and aggression histories. I also rescue dogs, which means I have hands‑on experience with decompression, confidence building, leash reactivity, and helping nervous dogs feel safe. I work from home full‑time, which makes dog walking an easy and natural part of my day. My schedule is flexible — I can step out for lunch‑time walks, morning visits before work starts, and evening walks to help dogs wind down. Because I’m already home and local, I’m able to adjust quickly, accommodate last‑minute needs, and keep a consistent routine for your dog. I take safety seriously, whether your dog stays in my home or I come to yours. I live on a large multi‑acre property with plenty of space for structured, on‑leash walks and calm exploration. I also have a secure fenced‑in area for controlled outdoor time, potty breaks, and confidence‑building for nervous or reactive dogs. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I follow your routines and walk them in their familiar environment to keep stress low. My focus is always on safe handling, clear communication, and giving every dog a predictable, comfortable experience.

“Gray is seriously the best pet sitter I’ve ever hired! She was extremely understanding and flexible when it comes to my reactive dog. She took the time to slowly introduce herself to him and she was very knowledgeable when it comes to reactivity along with any medicine needed. I would definitely hire her again and again!!”

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.

I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.

About: I have always loved pets so was always willing to help watch friends and families pets. I have watched both peoples cats and dogs and even snakes. I have majority of my days free. I like to get outside often when getting away from doing work. I am usually up fairly early and sometimes late so if a last minute walk is needed i’m your gal. Depending on the dog depends on how i care for them. If they are more playful we will go outside and play with toys but if it is a older dog that doesn’t do much we can just hangout and relax.

About: 💗 Experienced, Compassionate Pet Care From Someone Who Truly Understands Animals 💗 Hi! My name is Lindsay, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 9 years. What started as something I naturally loved doing for family, friends, neighbors, and their pets has grown into my full-time passion and business, Pawley’s Pet Services. I’m currently continuing my education and training to become a dog trainer and intuitive animal counselor, which has given me an even deeper interest in understanding animals not just physically, but emotionally and behaviorally as well. I love taking the time to learn who each pet truly is — their personality, communication style, routines, fears, favorite activities, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including energetic puppies, large dogs, senior pets, shy or anxious animals, rescue pets, and multi-pet households. 🐶 Puppies & Young Dogs I understand how much attention and consistency puppies need. I’m happy to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, exercise, feeding according to schedule, and plenty of one-on-one attention while helping maintain their normal routine. 🐕 Senior Dogs Senior pets deserve patience, gentleness, and extra understanding. I’m comfortable adapting walks and activities to their energy levels, providing companionship, following medication instructions when needed, and making sure they remain comfortable and cared for. 🐱 Cats & Kittens I absolutely love cats, too! I’m comfortable caring for kittens, senior cats, shy cats, independent cats, and cats who need medication or additional attention. Whether your cat wants interactive play, enrichment, cuddles, or simply someone nearby for quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐾 Large & Multiple Pets I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and have personally had experience caring for multiple large dogs at once. I’m also experienced with multi-pet households and understand the importance of giving each animal individual attention while keeping everyone’s routines consistent. 💊 Medication & Special Care I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and administering oral medications to dogs and cats when needed. I understand that some pets require additional patience, monitoring, or specialized routines, and I’m happy to discuss their individual needs during a meet & greet. My experience includes: • Dog walking and exercise • Drop-in visits • Overnight/in-home pet sitting • Puppy and senior pet care • Cat and kitten care • Oral medication administration • Feeding and medication schedules • Potty breaks and enrichment • Caring for multiple pets • Large and energetic dogs • Shy, anxious, and rescue animals • Maintaining pets’ normal routines • Frequent photo and video updates One of the most important parts of my care is getting to know each animal as an individual. I don’t believe there is one perfect approach to every pet. Some animals want constant play and attention, while others need space, patience, and time to warm up. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can meet them where they are. My training in dog behavior and intuitive animal counseling is something I’m especially passionate about because I want to understand the why behind an animal’s behavior rather than simply reacting to it. I’m always learning more about canine behavior, communication, enrichment, and the emotional needs of animals so I can continue providing better care. 📸 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How Your Pets Are Doing I send regular photo and video updates throughout my visits and stays. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re safe, happy, loved, and receiving plenty of attention. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I also treat your space with respect. I’m happy to follow household routines and instructions, bring in mail or packages, water plants, and help make sure everything is secure while you’re away. My goal isn’t simply to be the person who feeds your pets while you’re gone. I want to become someone your pets recognize, trust, and genuinely enjoy seeing — and someone you feel comfortable calling whenever you need dependable care. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and learn what makes them special. 💗 Pet care is more than just a job to me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about and dedicate my time to every day. I run my own pet-care business, so caring for animals is a major part of my daily routine. I’m currently building my experience while studying to become a dog trainer and intuitive animal counselor, and I love being able to apply what I’m learning to the pets I care for. My schedule is flexible and I’m often able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight/in-home care depending on my existing bookings. I do keep a limited number of bookings at a time so that I can give each pet the individual attention they deserve rather than overbooking myself. I’m especially interested in building long-term relationships with families who need recurring walks, drop-ins, or regular pet care. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance and work with each family to find a routine that works well for both them and their pets. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, understood, and loved while their families are away. For dogs, this can include walks, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, feeding according to their schedule, fresh water, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication when needed, playtime, enrichment, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I’m currently studying to become a dog trainer and intuitive animal counselor, so I pay close attention to animal behavior and body language. I believe understanding why an animal is behaving a certain way is an important part of providing good care. I’m patient with shy, nervous, anxious, energetic, senior, and rescue animals and always allow them to adjust at their own pace. A Note About Meet & Greets and Overnight Stays: For safety reasons, my fiancé, Bradley, normally accompanies me to my meet & greets and stays with me for every overnight pet-sitting booking. This is an important part of my personal safety policy when I’m staying in a client’s home while they’re away. I want to be completely transparent about this upfront so every family knows who may be present in their home. Bradley is my fiancé and safety companion, while I remain the primary person responsible for your pets and their care. I’m always happy to discuss this with you before booking and make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routines and respect their space and belongings. I’m also happy to follow household instructions, bring in mail or packages, water plants, and help keep the home secure while you’re away. I send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident that they’re receiving the care and attention they deserve. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for in their own home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving, attentive hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,987 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alexis. 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 Alexis. 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 , 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 Alexis 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexis. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
