About: I’ve watched all sorts of dogs from boxers to frenchies and can walk, feed, give medicine, and stay overnight with them!!! I’m very flexible also!!! I work part-time and I am a student at UA. I have room in my schedule to walk dogs as needed and take care of any animals and stay overnight with them! I have always looked after my own cat with extreme care and have experience taking care of family and friends’ dogs!!! I can do what is needed as long as I am safe!!!😁
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! 🫶🏼

“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I absolutely love animals. I’ve taken care of puppies and my current dog is a senior, so i’m comfortable with high and low energy pets. I’ve dog and cat-sat for neighbors and roommates since I was 17. I’m a college student home for the summer with plenty of free time on my hands. I’m available at any time of the week and love all kinds of pets. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs, cats, and any other furry friends of all ages! I’m able to handle big dogs on a leash as well.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 12. I absolutely love taking dogs on walks or if they love a car ride! I am a very attentive listener, and will take care of any dog to the highest expectation. I will always sit around and play with them and keep them entertained for a long time! Since I am in college now, I will let you know if I am available due to my academic and sorority schedule! 🙂 I am free always during this summer, so I can take care of any pet during any time. I do leave for Bama in August, but will love to continue walking and taking care of of dogs in Tuscaloosa! In your home, I will always make sure your dog is secured within the yard, on a leash, in a crate if needed, or being around them in the house! Walking them, I will always make sure they have a leash on and near me at all times. While taking care of them, I can always send updates and cute pictures!

About: I've been pet sitting for four years, caring for 15+ animals ranging from dogs and cats to fish. Whether it's overnight stays at your home or multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, I make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and on their routine while you're away. Your home and your pet will be treated with the same care I'd give my own. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits throughout the day, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never feel like a gap in someone's busy calendar. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walk and play with them on their usual schedule, keep their space clean and tidy, and give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own.
About: I have had dogs all my life and can adhere to any type of dog I’m entrusted to care for! I’ve been designated caretaker with family friends’ pets and daily needs! I hope to have your trust! I currently work part-time, in the early morning to early afternoon, three days a week. I am free otherwise and am very detailed oriented to scheduling needs. I have a fenced in yard and am used to leash-required care. I can adjust to any crate care or handling needs in any environment.
About: I have stayed in homes for several days caring for three dogs, ensuring they received attention, exercise, and routine care. I’ve also provided traditional pet sitting services, checking in on dogs, feeding them, and taking them for walks. I am extremely detail-oriented and committed to following all instructions exactly as given to ensure pets remain comfortable, safe, and happy whether they are in their home environment or mine. I am a college student home for the summer and I am working a part time job 20 hours per week at Lake Forest Racquet Club. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule as I usually only work from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M. four days a week. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, structure, and stimulation. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet. In my own home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and physical activity through regular walks and playtime. I truly strive to create a comfortable setting where pets feel secure and cared for at all times!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I help out with. Neighbors while out of town, same with family and friends. Love to walk and play with pups! Stay at home mom with kids that are grown and moved out so all the free time to help other people with their busy schedules. I am use to crate training and training schedules. You tell me what you are needing for your fur baby and I can do just that.

About: I’ve had pets in my home my entire life! Multiple dogs and at least one cat at a time. We have fostered many puppies and dogs some were medically fragile through our local humane society. As a child I learned how to be responsible for my pets and all their daily care. I am excited to meet your pets because I miss being around my own pets since I’m 4 hours from home and they are truly like one of our family members! I’m a full time student at the University of Alabama so I’m able to fit in pet care around my classes!! My classes are primarily in the morning!! I would communicate the pets needs with the owner to ensure I can provide the same care and attention they receive when their owner is at the home with them!

About: I’m a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter who will treat your pets like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own needs, so I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also available during the week and on weekends and will always make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I do have classes Monday-Thursday but they are short. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
About: If I were to be asked my superpower of choice, I’d tell you I already have one. Never in my 23 years of life have a met an animal I couldn’t work with, including the mean old cat my mother inherited. I take pride in my work of taking care of animals, and find it equally as rewarding seeing pet parents not have to worry about their babies in my care. From juggling my own zoo at home, to being introduced into the Pet Care business as a teenager working at an equestrian barn, I have honed my skills at prioritizing the wellbeing of animals and their happiness. With a bleeding heart and nerves of steel, I will love your pets as much as you do. I will clean their messed with understanding, play with them to enrich their brains, note any worrying conditions or details to you with urgency, and overall be the sitter you’d wish to hired again and again. My schedule is open and booked first come first served. My long term plans are to start school again in the spring to further my education and professionalism working with animals, but until then pet sitting is my first priority. Working with horses, I’ve developed a patient and calm disposition towards aggressive or scared behaviors. I try not to overwhelm any animal, and allow them to grow accustomed to my presence before I take part in whatever needs to be done. Meeting with said pets for the first time is a bit tricky, but I make it a habit for the first meeting to be with owners before services are rendered so both the client and myself are sure the animal(s) will be ok.
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: With 7+ years of pet care experience (excluding my own childhood pets) I have gone through a variety of experiences! I’ve worked with dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, frogs, and geckos! I am a full time college student with many breaks throughout the day and lots of availability at night! Also perfect for lunchtime walks or weekend house sitting! I’ve done anything from just coming by to feed them meals to staying multiple nights in a clients home! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind taking them places(such as a vet or dog park) and love every moment I get with any animal!
About: I have been trusted to take care of my family and friends’ pets since I have had my own car. Now that I’m old enough I want to start looking after other people’s pets more because they say do what you love. I can’t have any dogs in my own household so I want to take care of other people’s babies the best that I can. I’m in college so it’s hard to navigate between being in my college town in my home town, but I’m doing the best I can to take care of as many pets as my schedule allows. I follow specific instructions and say with the pets as long as my schedule allows. I love to send pictures of the pets for their owners because I know how much I would miss my baby. I make sure I have eyes on the pets before I leave so I don’t close them in a room and notify parents of any weird behavior.
About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs while gone for about a year now. Whatever you want done I can do it! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I love being active and enjoy long walks so dog sitting works perfectly for me! You can trust I’ll take good care of your pets! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and love spending time playing with pups! I also love being outdoors too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 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.

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.

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.
