“Lindsay was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures, made sure they got all their medications, and kept both their bowls and hearts full. She was so loving and attentive with them, and we’re incredibly grateful. Knowing that our dogs trust and love Lindsay so much, I know that if we ever need a pet sitter in the future, we’ll have someone we can trust completely. We would absolutely love to have Lindsay take care of them again!”

About: I've grown up around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I grew up with 3 beagles, and have also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. This has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs and administering medications when necessary. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I will be at your home for the majority of the time, only popping out occasionally to grab food or run quick errands. I can easily adjust my day as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. When I stay in your home my biggest priority is ensuring that your pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet's normal routine, energy level, and feeding schedule, as well as any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I'm experienced with walks (both fast paced and slow), potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. Expect regular updates and photos from me, so you're never out of the loop!

About: I have been around animals all my life…Literally, dogs have been in my face since I was a baby! I absolutely adore animals and do the absolute best to advocate for their needs and ensure that they have a great time! I have watched all kinds of dogs, from little chihuahuas to pitbulls. I have experience with senior dogs because of my dog so your old pup will be in great hands! I am a full-time student with classes varying Monday-Friday, I have morning classes everyday ( except Thursday) am usually done with classes before 3 on most days. However, I am positive we can find space for your fur baby and your schedule! I provide the upmost care for animals and will follow any directions/accommodations for your pet. You can trust me with your baby and know that they will be played with and showered with lots of love.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and am comfortable and eager to help you care for yours! Due to family allergies, I can no longer care for furry friends in my own home… so I’ve decided to help you care for yours! I have experienced the whole life cycle with various pets over the years. From puppies to seniors, I know how to approach pet care and even medication management. I work full time Tuesday - Friday but am still available on those days for short drop-ins or walks after 5 pm if you live in the Panther Creek or Preston areas. I am available all day Saturday - Monday for longer drop-in visits or hikes/walks! I have plenty of energy and can help your pets let out theirs with brisk walks or leisurely strolls - depending on their preference! I love a game of fetch or laser tag, string toys and catnip are also favorites. But don’t worry, I am also happy to lounge on the floor or sit in the shade if your pet prefers that! Your furbaby(ies) will always be the only pet(s) I am with during a booked visit - so my attention is completely on them. I will ensure your pet is left with a clean box/new pads, fresh water, and a treat. Leashes are a must if your pet is going outdoors (unless you have a securely locked gate). On walks I keep a large safety bubble to avoid getting too close to other pets or people - in my experience this has proved helpful in avoiding potentially dangerous situations. You’ll receive plenty of photos and updates from me during your booked visit as well!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. As a preschool teacher, and pet owner myself, I’m experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care while staying calm and responsible in any situation. I’ll treat your pet like family, follow their routine closely, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. I’m working part time so my schedule gives me the flexibility to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to stick to their normal routine, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I’ll also make sure your pet has fresh water, a clean environment, and the companionship they deserve while you’re away. For overnight stays, I’ll help keep their routine as consistent as possible and close to schedule as possible to minimize stress. I’ll always treat your home with respect and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: Hi! My name is Alejandra and I love pets! Cats and dogs alike. I’ve taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was 12 and have had my own dog since she was a puppy. She recently passed and my love for pets have only grown. They are family and I want to make sure you feel comforted that your beloved pet is in good hands. I have taken care of animals on short timeframes, dropping in to check on them and take care of their needs along with in longer timeframes (housesitting and staying with them or hosting them in my apartment). I am really responsible and recognize that each pet has their own habits, routines and preferences. If given instruction, I am happy to create a space for your pet where their routine and expectations are as they would be if you were home! I am a full time PhD student but work from home most days. Aside from classes, I can be flexible! I am happy to coordinate with you to find a time frame and frequency to care for your pet in ways that work for all of us!! Knowing what you typically do in your home for your pet is key but given direction and instructions, I am confident that your pet will feel comfortable and loved while also being kept safe and cared for! I recognize how big of a role that pets play in our lives and how much we love them! I want to provide your pet the best care and attention possible so that they are happy and well.

She is very conscientious and made sure she understood the details of Lou's routine (including his medication), which put me completely at ease. Alessandra gives our dog the same loving care that we do, and I'm so glad to have found her!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and committed to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away or go on the trails nearby! I have a pup of my own - a black lab/pit mix who is full of energy and curiosity! Currently part-time while trying to figure out schooling. I'm already doing 10,000 steps a day with my dog and can get yours there as well. I can easily adjust my time based off your needs. By making sure that all gates/leashes and harness are properly closed prior to starting the activity. Knowing if they have plenty of food and water and if going for walks we take it at their walking level and need. Can also bring water if we're going far.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Blands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Blands is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,979 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Blands. 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 Blands. 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 Blands 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 Blands. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 .

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.
