About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs. I have cared for many different types, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I have also raised dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, routines, exercise, feeding, medications when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, flexible, and communicative, and I treat every dog in my care like a member of my own family. My Daily Routine Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks without them feeling like they are simply being left alone. I typically start the day with potty time, breakfast, and some attention or a walk before settling into work. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check on the dogs, let them outside for potty breaks using a leash or tie-out, other walk as needed to give them attention, and make sure they are comfortable. They are welcome to relax near me while I work, and I can adjust my routine based on each dog’s individual needs. I do occasionally need to be away from home for work or other commitments, but I’m very flexible and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care whenever possible. I’m comfortable adjusting feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, rest time, or other routines to match what your dog is accustomed to. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with their individual personality, age, energy level, and routine. I treat every dog in my home like one of my own, while following the routine and preferences their family has established for them with love, attention and affection.
“Courtney is great. A chill and gentle soul who is easy to connect with. Lettie (the dog) is at ease and comfortable with Courtney. I’m thrilled to have found her as she’s been a lifesaver while I am out of commission with a busted knee.”
About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.
“Michelle is great! She was very communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she was prepared to give my dog the best care. My dog and cat instantly clicked with her. Looking forward to more future bookings. :)”
“Highly recommend!! Jaci has been walking our dog 1-2x/week for several months. She is dependable, friendly, and very patient/loving with our (often stubborn) senior pup. Thank you, Jaci!”

I’m a fresh high school grad who’s saving for college! I’m taking a gap year to try new things and make some money! My schedule is fairly open and I am very flexible!

About: I have taken care of and been around dogs for most of my life. Our first family dog was a Cocker Spaniel named Chloe and after school my duties were walking her, feeding her, and bathing her when necessary. Fast forward to now, I owned a Husky Basenji mix named Aldo who is a character, but the best. He lives with my ex fulltime, but I see him on occasion to spoil him. I have watched my former roommate's deaf dog when she needed some help during work. I work from home fulltime, which allows me to be very open when it comes to my schedule. I do waitress part-time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights; depending on location I’d need to leave the home at 3:30-4pm those nights and back by 10:30-11pm. I have my one dog, Aldo, in the home, and have a two bedroom, two bath apartment home. It is very spacious with plenty of room to play, roam, and relax. Pets are allowed on the furniture here and I have space for crating if necessary. I have two fenced in dog parks on property if your dog enjoys interacting with other dogs. I have great walking paths around here as well. If it is too cold outside, we can play inside with the space I have.
About: I love meeting new animals and will take great care of yours! I have experience walking dogs and doing cat check-ins, and also providing day care for dogs. I am happy to discuss with you any specific needs your animal may need. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to ensure they get plenty of potty breaks, have fun, get exercise, and are cared for while you're away. I will make sure to be careful with your dog and cautious while taking them on walks or to the dog park to ensure they don't get hurt or in any type of danger.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Last-minute request, and Renee arrived promptly. During the walk, Riley decided she wanted to go home, so Renee graciously accommodated her by bringing her back instead of forcing her to continue. Renee offered a full refund and apologized sincerely, but I declined. Riley has separation anxiety, and if she isn't comfortable walking, that's her choice. Renee did an excellent job, was very friendly, and Riley warmed up to her right away. I will definitely request Renee for future walks and recommend her to anyone seeking pet care services.
Courtney was wonderful! She is reliable and professional. My dog appeared to really enjoy his walks with her and it put me at ease knowing he was getting good exercise while I was away. I would rebook with Courtney anytime! I also appreciated the updates and multiple pictures.
Bonnie and Kris are excellent with dogs! Gracie loves them both. They go above and beyond. They put Gracie's harness on and hook her up at the end. They leave little notes and send pictures on the walk. Both are kind and loving people. You couldn't ask for a better Rover friend for your pets!
I requested Sheryl's services for dog walking for 9 days on rather short notice. I needed help walking our dog because of a recent surgery. She quickly responded that she could accommodate my request. She greeted our dog Amiera each day with lots of affection and care and I could tell she really enjoyed being with her. Amiera came back happy and relaxed after each walk. Sheryl is organized, thoughtful and friendly and a very caring person who also showed compassion for me post surgery. But most of all she provided reliable and knowledgeable care for our dog, which gave me a lot of comfort and peace of mind. Sheryl is also flexible and accommodating with her schedule. She really loves what she does. We'll definitely use Sheryl again in the future. Thank you, Sheryl!

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 Apple Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apple Valley. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
