About: Hi there! My name is Bonnie and I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I have experience with all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to horses and dairy goats. Currently, I share a home with two awesome cats named Dillon and Hammy, a dog named Jolene, and some chickens. I have veterinary experience as well. My veterinary career started in 2010 when I worked as a kennel attendant. I worked my way up to becoming a surgical technician before leaving the field to have a family. I can help with pets of all kinds including special needs. Contact me for availability today! I have a child, so my availability depends on childcare. I'll do my best to accommodate client schedules, but my little one takes priority in my life. I will care for animals in your home. For drop in visits, I can let pets out to potty, administer medication, and exercise/play with your pet. For walking, I can walk your leash trained pet in a safe neighborhood or take them to a nearby park.

About: I’ve seen all kinds of shenanigans while caring for pets and give special attention as needed, including administering meds through syringe, pills cleverly placed in cheese or food, companionship and present time, play time, feeding pet pigs in a manner that avoids food battles and many more! I’m up for it all and have the freedom to watch your lil loves while you are away so let me know if you have any questions. Happy to answer them for you. I’m available for housesitting on weekends and during the week (with enough heads up!) so give me the dates you plan to skip outta town for and I’ll let you know if I’m available to meet, greet and watch your little furbabies / reptiles / pets of all sorts. I take the occasional camping trip and flight to see my long distance boyfriend, otherwise, let’s coordinate the details! I’m happy to follow any house rules you set for when I come to house it and pet sit for you and your loved pets.

About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.

About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.

About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.

About: I grew up with animals and have been trusted by family and friends to pet sit. I have worked at a doggie daycare place and currently work in the vet medicine field. I plan on staying in the vet medicine field, but it is always nice to see animals where they are relaxed and happy. I do work full time and sometimes long hours but can always check in on animals before and after work. Some days, I will be working in Eagle River so it would be hard for me to check in on animals during the day. I am very good at following instructions so if there is a certain routine that an animal is used, I will follow it. I try to be aware of my surroundings because I never want an animal to accidentally hurt themself on something or ingest anything.

About: I have loved animals since I was young and have cared for a wide variety of them, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. In particular, I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. I have personally raised or provided sitting for many breeds, including Pomeranians, Maltese, Poodles, Shiba Inu, Retrievers, Shepherds, and mixed breeds, ensuring that all of them were healthy and happy. I am well-versed in dogs’ behavior patterns, personalities, and specific needs. I have cared for dogs from puppyhood and can provide care for dogs of any age or breed. I truly love animals and cherish the time I spend with pets. Having personally boarded my own pets multiple times, I understand what pet owners want and worry about when entrusting their pets to a sitter. I am confident that I can care for your pet with both responsibility and love. If you entrust me with the care of your pet, you will not regret it! I have a flexible schedule and can provide sitting at the times you need, as long as you give me advance notice. Feel free to message me anytime!🤍🐾 I can provide as much care as your pet needs, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and walks. While caring for your pet, my full attention will be on them. If you’d like, I can provide regular updates on your dog’s status and stay in touch throughout the day. (My home has no other pets, a large fenced yard, and the neighborhood is very safe and pet-friendly. It’s a community with excellent walking trails, perfect for your dog’s exercise and enjoyment.)

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born, sometimes living with multiple dogs, and animals at once, and never neglecting a single one and always providing lots of love and comfort! We have taken care of friends’ dogs, traveled around the country with them, and genuinely know how to interact and take care of our furry friends. I have lived with grumpier dogs, hyper dogs, large, small and everything in between and have loved every single one. I am patient, reliable person who would like to help make your life easier and ease any stress you may have while traveling, at work, or just out on the town! I would be so excited to host your pet in my home, or visit with your pet in the comfort of his or her own home! :) I am respectful and understand the vulnerability of the situation, and would gladly take every precaution necessary to make sure this experience is great for your pet and for you! Thank you! ☺️ I will walk in near by parks, or take on hikes if desired/allowed. Am willing to walk as often as needed, and follow all meticulous care needs. I have a flexible schedule right now- so most situations will work for me. I do have one dog, that I normally do not like to leave behind so please keep this in mind when booking. He is extremely friendly and loves dogs, cats and other animals big and small. He is the small white dog present in several photos on my profile. There is a dog park right down the street from my home, but am open to all wishes from pet owners in regards to specific care.

About: I've taken care of animals of almost every kind for most of my life, both professionally as a Veterinary Technician for more than 15+ years as well as personally with my own pets, which I've had all my life. I truly love animals and have dedicated my life to helping and caring for them and even plan on attending Vet School. I have fostered countless animals, both dogs and cats, as well as more than 35 bottle-fed kittens. I have experience with just about every kind of pet and even those that are senior or those with special requirements such as medications, special diets, and subcutaneous fluid and physical therapy. I have a great deal of experience with animal behavior and have worked with many difficult and even aggressive animals. I currently work on a full-time basis, so I will have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to dedicate to caring for the most precious members of your family! I have done quite a bit of pet sitting work so I am very familiar with this experience. I am extremely respectful when I'm in my client's home and I remain conscious of the fact that it's your pet's home too and I'm respectful of their space as well. I strive to ensure that your pet continues to feel safe and cared for when I'm in their home. I perpetuate a quiet, calming presence which most animals respond to positively. I will do everything in my power to ensure your pet's wellbeing and happiness, while still accomplishing everything that has been asked of me by my client. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 295 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alston. 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 Alston. 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 Alston 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 Alston. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
