About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I have several years of professional dog grooming experience, where I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with handling, bathing, brushing, and caring for pets with different needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone patient, trustworthy, and attentive to your pet’s individual personality. I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and respect I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they stick to their normal feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their usual schedule and keep them comfortable while you’re away. As an experienced dog groomer, I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I always follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions, supervise pets carefully, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and needs, use gentle handling, and prioritize their safety and well being at all times. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to help pets feel secure and at home.
About: I have 6 plus years of experience when it comes to animals! I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🤍 I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace and a little extra attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine closely and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I work full-time during the week, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available on weekends and can also care for pets on weekdays when I get off work. I love spending time with animals and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I also keep their space clean and make sure they get lots of love and companionship while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐾🤍
About: I grew up on a ranch so plenty of experience with cats and dogs both indoor and outdoor. Young or old, small or large dogs; I can meet the needs of every animal! I am currently working part time so I have lots of time for walks and activities. I am very attentive, great at keeping scheduled feedings, and have a flexible schedule with plenty of free time to be present. I have plenty of time to be present with your fur baby. I enjoy going for walks and can easily keep track of a schedule.
About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
“My dog sitter cancelled on me the night of Christmas Eve, and I was scrambling to find someone to replace them. I messaged Tim, and he had no problem saving my Christmas! He was kind, courteous, and had no issues with my two big dogs. Thanks again if you're reading this Tim!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,048 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alum. 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 Alum. 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 Alum 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 Alum. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
