About: I have years of experience providing pet care, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I’m passionate about training, exercise, and creating fun, safe environments for pets. My care style includes plenty of attention, playtime, and understanding each pet's needs. I’m also comfortable with special needs pets or those requiring medication. I’m an animal lover who enjoys giving pets the time and care they deserve. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly, as I’m flexible and dedicated to making sure every pet is treated with kindness and respect. I have college level classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but that does not make me any less flexible. For pet-sitting in your home, I ensure it’s a safe space, following any guidelines or routines pets are used to. Your pet’s safety is my top priority.

About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary. I've also worked with and owned most types of animals ranging from a few weeks old to 20+ years, so I can provide care to very young or very old animals. I just graduated college and am currently between jobs, so I am at home working on my fixer-upper apartment all day. My schedule is entirely flexible! I will be available almost all waking hours of the day. I can stop in on your schedule to provide care and walks, or just stay over to give the pets round the clock care. I will make sure that your pet stays happy and healthy while in my care!

About: The benefits of dogs swimming are tremendous! Whether it's releasing energy in younger pups or offering joint pain relief in seniors, I am excited to offer dog swimming as a service in my outdoor pool. This service includes pickup/drop-off, a half an hour swim with life jacket, one on one swim coaching, picture and/or video of your pup and a post swim shower. This service is listed under Doggy Day Care for $100. Feel free to message me with any questions or set up a meet and greet at your house. I have completed training as a dog groom technician and work part time at a local grooming salon. I have experience in handling dogs of any age, especially seniors. I understand the extra care and attention senior pups should have. I also love the energy in younger pups and embrace the opportunity to provide them with effective, yet enjoyable exercise. In addition to walking dogs, I am also a trained dog groomer technician. This allows me flexibility to accommodate various scheduling needs. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling or availability. The safety of your pet is my first priority. I will only take on one client per visit and will only handle two or more dogs if they live in the same home.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always loved animals. I have house sat and dog sat before and always treat other people’s animals like my own. I’m a registered nurse so I am patient, conscientious, and reliable. I’m a registered nurse and work 4-10hr day shifts during the week. I usually have free time in the evenings and most weekends. Early mornings are not usually good for me because I have to be at work by 7am. I always make sure to treat other people’s pets and homes with respect. I treat all animal’s like they are my own pet. I love spending time with them. I make sure not to give them anything that they shouldn’t eat and to keep anything potentially dangerous completely put away where it can’t accidentally be reached by an animal.

About: Hello! I am a farm girl who grew up with dogs , cats , horses, cows and sheep. Over the past twenty five years I have adopted four rescue dogs taking dogs who were older and harder to adopt. If I could I would give every rescue animal a home. I have had success working with animals who others find daunting. I am skilled in basic obedience training and click training. I love puppies and elderly dogs equally. I am currently taking classes to start a new career and my schedule is very flexible. I can pet sit 7 days a week and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs I can come to your home and feed, walk, play or sit with your pet.

About: I have years of experience caring for my dog and former cats. I am also the kind of person who always finds the dog at a social function, so pet sitting is my favorite job. It is important to note that I live on a military base, and clients who do not have access will need to be checked in. I am mostly free all day Thursday-Tuesday and will be able to provide most of my time to caring for your pets. At home, I feed my dog twice a day, and I take her for impromptu walks 1-3 times a day. I will adhere to a client’s usual schedule if needed. I ensure that bathroom breaks are covered as often as necessary. I pay attention to a dog or cat’s personality or specific needs. I feed pets, play with them, supervise, clean pets and any messes, and take them out for walks or bathroom breaks as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all sizes from baby kittens to Great Danes! I love inviting animals into my life like my own, and many owners have seen that throughout the years! I’d love to take care of your fur babies (or furless)! I’m looking forward to handing out some extra help to the pet owners in this community. I always make time to lend a helping hand anywhere I go! I’ve been fitting pet care into my routine throughout the last 7 years and I don’t plan on stopping! I’m currently not able to board, but I love sitting! I’ve been trusted for many years in my home town to care for pets. Not only immensely by owners, but respecting pet’s boundaries as some can be a little more protective of their homes! I always watch/play with pets in backyards and remain alert even if transports to dog parks are approved to get your pets out and about!

Laiken has truly been wonderful for my dog and I. He is a puppy, and trying to learn a routine and schedule and she has gone above and beyond to help me. I work night shift and she helps make it work for me. I truly have found i can trust her in my home and with my dog. She updates me with everything she does with him. I will be continuing to have her hang out with my dog as long as she will be available to. I would recommend her to anyone.

About: As a devoted & experienced SAHM, I have proudly cared for a variety of animals for over 15 years. Dogs, cats, rabbits - you name it! Families entrust their furry companions to my care, often rebooking my services due to their satisfaction & peace of mind. From feeding and exercise to cozy snuggles and playtime, I will create a joyful, nurturing environment where your pets thrive & your family feels confident in my care. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my routines because my schedule is flexible. I ensure all of your pets needs are met with consistency & love. My home will provide a welcoming environment for pets to feel comfortable and safe. They will be able to safely roam the house (unless otherwise stated), get on the furniture, and will be able to adjust calmly. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or pet daycare, my services suit the specific needs of each pet and client. For dog walking, I take pups on enjoyable strolls in the neighborhood or nearby parks, providing them with exercise and fresh air. If house sitting is required, I ensure the pets receive round-the-clock care, maintaining their routines, and offering companionship in the comfort of their own home. In the case of pet daycare, I create an engaging atmosphere filled with toys, interactive play, and socialization opportunities, allowing pets to have a fun-filled day while their owners are away. Regardless of the service provided, I prioritize safety, hygiene, and regular communication with pet owners, ensuring they are informed and at ease throughout the entire process.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Algoma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 615 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Algoma. 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 Algoma. 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 Algoma.

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 Algoma. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
