About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years! I have three goldens of my own and understand how they can can be like family! 🫶🏼 I would be so excited to take care of your pets while you are away! I am also an AKC affiliated dog breeder of two years! I a college student who does online school so I’m available to care for your pets 3-4 times a day if desired. I usually am free any time of the day to come take your dog for a walk, check on them, or stay over night! I do live in a mobile home with three Goldens. The downside is I do not have a fenced in back yard, but the upside is I’m with them 16-24 hours of the day until their owners arrive back home! If a client ask me to stay at their home I usually follow their instructions with how many times they want me to come and if they want me to stay overnight! 🫶🏼

About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

Cate M. was a lifesaver. She was able to walk my two dogs when I had a long day of work. They loved her, and she made the whole process very easy. She is awesome!

About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.

About: I have grown up taking care of two dogs - a Peekapoo and an English Springer Spaniel. I also have daily experience walking my neighbors dogs as well. I’m passionate about dogs and believe that a happy dog makes a world go round! I did rover for a few months while I lived in DC but now looking to start it again here in Alabama. I’m currently working remote, so my schedule for walking can be flexible as needed for all weekdays. I also am flexible for hours on the weekend! My number one priority is to keep your pet safe. At home we have an invisible fence to ensure safety for our dog and I make sure that I keep an eye on her at all times. I will always keep my eye out for your pets safety and will do everything needed to make sure they are comfortable and happy.

About: I have taken care of several animals throughout my life. We have 3 dogs right now. A senior toy poodle, a 5 year old yorkie and our newest “foster fail” Remi haha. Remi is a 6 month old Tri-Paw we rescued from the animal shelter. We love our animals and we treat them like family. I have also taken care of my families animals for weeks at a time( including dropping off at camp, feeding and giving meds) I currently work full time from home. Drop ins would be super easy for me! Also, weekends would be better for over night sitting for me. I will do exactly what is needed depending on your animal. I am a helicopter mom and your fur babies safety is of utmost importance to me.

About: Hello!! Thanks for visiting my profile :) I’ve had both dogs and cats in my household since birth and have actively helped to care for them since we adopted the first of my current dogs when I was 9. I have extensive experience caring for small dogs (5-15 lbs.) as both puppies and elderly, so I know how to keep them safe and happy! Additionally, I have helped to care for dogs of all sizes (up to 105 lbs.) on behalf of my extended family and friends, so I am also familiar with handling larger, more energetic animals. I have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at a time (the number in my house growing up) and am comfortable feeding, walking, bathing, and otherwise caring for them simultaneously. The oldest dog in my family takes medication daily, so I am also confident in administering medications as needed. I have also had cats for years and am comfortable caring for them indoors or outdoors and cleaning litter boxes if needed. Ultimately, I just really enjoy being around animals and I would love the chance to love on your pets for a while!! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests :) I am preparing to graduate with my master’s degree in December, and I would love to spend my study breaks caring for and loving on your pets! As a pet sitter, I am loving, gentle, and attentive. I love to know details about your dog(s)’s routine and preferences so that I can keep them as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone!

I high recommend Rachel, she was outstanding! She provided great photos and updates while we were out of town and adjusted the walk schedule based on the summer temperatures and our dog ability to walk long distances. She agreed to do a pre-visit to ensure all communication was clear. Her communication was quick and responsive to me each step along the way. We will definitely book her again. Thanks Rachel!!!

About: I have had many pets over the years, both cats and dogs, and fully understand the level of attention and love they require. I will be sure to care for your pets just as I would my own! I can walk dogs well, and can follow special instructions if necessary! I also am able to give your animals the appropriate medications if needed. I have lots of animals back home of various sizes. At my dads we have a German Shepard and Chocolate Lab, and a cat. At my moms we have a larger dog, unsure of breed, a chihuahua, and a terrier. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes, so there will be no problems no matter the type of dog you have!

About: I am a loving dog mom who views pet care as a privilege rather than a job. I have three dogs of my own and have been taking care of pets basically my whole life. I want people to feel they can be absent without being missed while I keep their pets happy, healthy, and entertained at their home or mine. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to keep your pups entertained and cared for whether it be house sitting, walking, stop-ins, or boarding. Can board anytime of the week as long as pet is crate trained (crate is provided by me). I have a fenced in back yard with 3 friendly dogs to keep your furry friend entertained. Dogs are more the welcome to run around and play inside my home as well. I have lots of toys and lots of energy. My dogs and I love going on walks just as much as we love cuddling on the couch watching movies.

About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Appling Bend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 241 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Appling Bend. 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 Appling Bend. 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 Appling Bend.

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 Appling Bend. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
