About: Hi! I’m Esme, a huge animal lover and proud pet parent. I have a Mini American Shepherd named Kita, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. While I adore dogs, I’m also a big cat lover! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, chasing toys, or simply having someone keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to get to know them. From energetic pups to shy kitties, my goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and become their new bestie! 🐾💕 Animals are already a huge part of my life! As a dog mom to my Mini American Shepherd, Kita, pet care is built into my daily routine. My days are filled with walks, playtime, training, and lots of cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like work and more like something I enjoy. Whether it’s a dog who loves adventure or a cat who just wants a quiet companion, I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routines they’re familiar with, so I always try to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. Some pets love long walks and play sessions, while others prefer cuddles on the couch or a quiet companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Thank you Nikki for giving our boy Rusty his afternoon walk! We loved the pictures you sent and update. Thank you for putting our minds at ease while we are traveling without him.”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including horses, cats, and dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me! I currently have a sweet and silly 1.5 year old Frenchie who keeps me on my toes! I recently lost my 11year old German Shepherd, and I’ve found myself really missing that daily companionship. I’d love to share that extra time, care, and affection with your furry family members. I have experience with a wide range of dogs from pups who need strict feeding schedules, senior pups who require patience & care, to large (95lb+) reactive dogs who require solo walks and extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets just like you would, with lots of love, respect, and attention! (Huxley will not be joining during house sitting appointments unless your request him too. :)) I work from home so I have flexibility for local daily drop ins & walks, after work walks, or weekend care. We can discuss your needs and see how that works best for your requirements! I’ll follow any requirements you have for caring for your pets in your home! I am happy to discuss further to make sure I can fulfill your pets needs.
“Jennifer has been AMAZING! She leaves detailed feedback on the walk which is really important to me as a nervous pup mama!!! She’s so positive and you can tell she truly loves being with your animals! I have two and she can handle my big boy Samoyed, which also is so important! Thanks, Jennifer!”
“Richard has been taking my dog out for the past week and half. He is very patient with my dog (my pupper can be a stubborn potato sometimes) and provided photos for each walk. I highly recommend him!”
“I am very grateful Katherine was able to walk my dog during the work day. She’s very punctual and easy to work with. She provided amazing updates on her services.”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Kita. When my dog came back home after her walk, you could tell that she had been well taken care of and had a blast. Ashley was quick to respond to my request and was able to be super flexible and communicative. I definitely recommend Ashley to anyone :)”
“Hailey took great care of Bowie - offered a meet and greet and took him on a lovely walk. Helped us out last minute, too! Highly recommend Hailey for your Rover needs!”
“Ion took such great care of our dog Eevie and gave great updates! She can be kind of a nervous dog but she got comfortable with him right away. We'll definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Ion!”
“Jonathan is the first person who I have felt really comfortable leaving Parker with for long periods of time. His gentle nature is exactly what the Parker pup needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from walking neighborhood dogs a few times a week to helping with a family doggy daycare where dogs stayed with us for weeks at a time. I also have a sweet Shih Tzu named Oakley, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention pets need every single day. I’ve cared for puppies full of energy, older pets who need a little extra gentleness, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family — because I truly believe all pets deserve the same kind of love and care that we humans do. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. 💗 I currently work full-time, but I always have time before and after work on weekdays to stop by and spend time with your pet! On weekends, my schedule is very open and flexible — perfect for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Whether it’s weekday mornings, evenings, or a weekend adventure, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and love they need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well taken care of. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times to walks to play — so they feel right at home, even while you’re away. I have experience with both dogs and cats — from energetic puppies and playful kittens to gentle seniors who need extra patience. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time on the couch, or making sure litter boxes and feeding schedules are on track, I give each pet the attention they deserve. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family and cared for with the same love I give my own dog, Oakley.
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born, and for essentially my entire life. Fluent in body language and I know how to make a dog want what you want. I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need and stays safe the whole time. Love all dogs big and small, but if I had to choose I prefer the big ones. Bound to become one of your dog's favorite people in just a couple walks. Don't have any other jobs or anything at this time, but I have therapy appointments on Wednesdays, so I try to keep those free for the sake of my mental health Will bring water bottles on hot days to make sure everyone stays hydrated. Will probably take them to the walking trail or the field by the school to give them a chance to roll in the grass (and hopefully just the grass) and run around.
About: Hello, I’m Brooke! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I have a 5 year old 80lb dog and a 9 year old calico cat. While you are away, I can offer personalized care to your pets and keep you updated along the way with pictures and messages. I’m passionate about providing a safe and fun experience for your beloved pets. I am available for pet sitting, house sitting, pet boarding, and dog walking. I have experience administering medication (oral and transdermal) to cats. For boarding pets, I can provide a safe and large fenced-in backyard and a private bedroom with a window. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate to your pets needs. I can’t wait to provide exceptional care for your pets! I am available to care for your pets anytime and have the flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I am willing to help out however needed. In my home your pets will be treated as if they were my own. I can offer a large spare room with plenty of natural light to make your pet as comfy and entertained as possible. In your home, I can accommodate to your pets schedule. Please let me know about your pets feeding schedule, favorite toys, exercise level, and any other rules you would like me to follow.
“Erik is incredible! Communicative, prompt and kind. Have a high energy doberman and Erik does wonderful with him on his mid day walks. Will continue to trust him and utilize his services!”

I have nothing but good things to say about Ion. Right away during the initial interaction our dog Dulce, who is normally timid with new people, immediately trusted him and felt comfortable around him. He showed up at the agreed times and took her on her walks and provided plenty of updates and photos and accommodated any requests. Would highly recommend Ion if you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like his own.
We are going to miss Talia! She has been so good to Willow. She came in last minute to help me walk her, she has been so flexible and very communicative! She sends pictures during walks, takes time to make sure Willow was settled in after each walk! We wish you the best!
You will not find a more caring, reliable, supportive, and all around fantastic person to care for your pets! Jenni is an absolute delight who routinely goes above and beyond to help me and my dogs out. She genuinely cares and her kindness and warmth radiate from her notes and messages. We are so lucky to have found her!
This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch our Golden Retriever, Lucas, so naturally we were a bit nervous going in. But from the very beginning, Anna completely put us at ease. She handled the meet-and-greet perfectly—asked all the right questions, paid close attention to details, and showed a genuinely warm and thoughtful personality. Lucas connected with her right away, which meant a lot to us. While we were away, she was an excellent communicator. She sent regular updates, detailed notes, and happy photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. It made the entire experience feel easy and completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and honestly, we won’t be looking for anyone else. Knowing Anna is there makes us feel much more comfortable traveling and leaving Lucas in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Castlewood on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 12,230 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Castlewood. 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 Castlewood. 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 Castlewood.

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 Castlewood. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
