About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.
“Ashley was an absolute angel watching my Romeo!! She was extremely thorough and followed my instructions to a T (there were many! Lol) she was inquisitive and took pride in being helpful and making sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was always early or on time and always gave my baby lots of love! I would and WILL be asking her to dog sit again! Thank you so much Ashley!! ⭐️”
“Sarahi was incredible with my dog Eisley. My dog was immediately comfortable with her and was excited for walk time everyday. Would absolutely book her again and the only reason she is not helping any longer is because I am moving.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience and the level of care I provide. With 4 years of pet care experience, I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs—whether it’s helping train puppies, caring for senior dogs, or managing specific routines like medications or special diets. I stay organized, patient, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable, and I communicate consistently with owners so they always know their pet is in good hands. I build pet care into a structured daily routine, especially in a boarding setting. I’m used to keeping consistent schedules for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and cleaning. I also make sure each pet gets individual attention and monitor their behavior, appetite, and overall comfort. I’m comfortable adjusting routines based on each dog’s needs, including medications, special diets, or different energy levels. Staying organized and attentive is really important to me when caring for multiple pets. I care for pets by following a consistent routine while also adapting to each pet’s individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any medications are followed exactly as instructed. I keep the environment clean and safe, and I spend quality time with each pet so they feel comfortable and not stressed. I also monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and communicate with the owner if anything seems off.

I am currently an empty nester living with 2 spoiled grand-cats, inherited from grown children. Love to walk, love dogs! I am an empty nester, work remote from home and have a lot of time on my hands on a daily basis. I am big walker, averaging 20-26 miles per week. I can easily take on morning, noon and evening jobs. House sitting with pets is also an option. I have extreme flexibility to cater to my clients in their homes to walk, feed and take care of their fur babies. Overnights are considered as well.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. While I don’t have formal training, I’m highly dependable, quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality, and treat every animal as if they were my own. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule to care for pets as a recent college graduate seeking employment. You tell me when you need me and I’ll be there! Taking care of someone’s pet in their home is actually taking care of a pet in their home. It is my priority to know your pets schedule, likes, and dislikes to ensure it’s comfortability while your gone. (Some extra treats too!)
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and can confidently handle leashed walks, basic recall, and calm behavior management. Reliable, punctual, and happy to provide updates and follow owner instructions. I’m currently working part-time, so I can fit dog walks into my schedule easily between shifts. I will communicate openly too with owners. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, let dogs out as directed, refresh water, clean up any messes, bring in mail/packages if requested, and ensure doors and gates are secured when I leave.

In my home, I have been responsible for bathing, grooming, and caring for my personal pets for over 13 years. I work part-time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to walk and watch your pets. I am also available on weekends for whenever you need a weekend getaway! I will keep constant attention on your pet and follow your specific instructions on your pets needs regarding feeding, diet, medication, exercise, behavior, and training.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and older pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m great at picking up on individual needs—whether that’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, handling clean-up routines, or giving pets the one-on-one attention they deserve. I am free most weekdays after 3pm and open on weekends. I can guarantee you my undivided attention to your pets. I will make sure they are taken care of wonderfully. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and calm space with plenty of love and attention. I follow their routines carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space, follow all instructions, and ensure their pet feels secure and cared for. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care help build trust every step of the way.

Alyssa, thank you so much for taking such great care of Nora. You are a true professional—punctual, reliable, and a complete pleasure to work with.

I couldn't be happier with your dog walking services. I will definitely reach out again in the future and will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a great dog walker. Best, Patricia S.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Catharpin is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per walk.

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 Catharpin. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Catharpin 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 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 Catharpin. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
