About: I’ve had and worked with dogs my entire life, from small to extra large. They’ve all come with different personalities and challenges. I enjoy learning about each dog’s strengths and weaknesses. I am currently working on the weekends and have a consistent client whose dog I walk between 10 and 12 every week day. I also like early mornings and afternoons to myself and my pups to care for their needs well as my own. I have a fenced yard and all my dogs are fairly apprehensive about new people and are mostly neutral about other dogs. Because of this, I won’t do in-home pet sitting.
“My mother was dog sitting while we went out of town. She was unable to walk Flora (our dog) due to medical issues. Hope was a great help to my Mother. She arrived on time. Communicated well with my mother. Walked and exercised Flora. We will use Hope again next time we travel.”
“Miranda is AMAZING! She is always on time and even takes Sammie for a little extra time. You can really tell she loves animals and is very caring and patient; being that Sammie is still a puppy! We really appreciate you, and Sam sure LOVES you :) Thank you, Miranda! ”
“Jennifer is wonderful! She has been great with our dog! She is friendly, communicates very well, is on time, and is happy to follow our dog's lead (which is what we like first our dog). So happy we found her to help with our furry kid!”
“Thank you Mayra for the intelligent and patient way you handled the recent difficult walk with our 2 girls. I'm so glad you were there and so alert to the menace of the neighborhood dog running loose. You're the best!”
“Jenn did great with our dog Coconut. Even though our dog has some anxiety issues Jenn was patient and kind. We will definitely come back for future dog sitting and walking needs. Thanks so much!”
“Kylie has walked our pup four times over the past two weeks. She is professional, reliable, and has a warm, easygoing demeanor. Our dog took to her right away, which gave us immediate peace of mind. We’re looking forward to having Kylie take care of her full-time while we’re on vacation this summer—it’s reassuring to know she’ll be in such good hands.”
“Jennifer and her daughter give my little Ripley great care. I feel like my girl is always so happy when I get home and I have the piece of mind that she was able to relieve herself and get loving and treats when I have to work longer days. Jennifer always leaves a nice rover card and cute pics when she leaves. So glad I found her!”
“Michael is punctual, a great communicator, and it’s obvious he loves animals. Meeko took to him right away and looked forward to his walks. He would fall asleep before Michael could pull away in his car! I HIGHLY recommend Michael and will definitely reach again should the need arise.”
“Samantha is so kind and patient with my dog, Rudy, who is having a very hard time with our move this year and became reactive towards most things. She walks Rudy regularly and is very communicative and helpful. Rudy adores her. 10/10”
“This was my first time using Rover. I have a high energy dog who is in the process of being trained and Sommer was perfect! I will definitely be re-booking. Sommer sent the best pictures of my puppy and it made me so happy when I was out of town for work. She is also very friendly and easy to chat with!”
About: My family loves dogs. We also know how hard it is to find care you can trust. We will send pictures when you are gone and give your dog lots of attention. We have both owned dogs our whole lives and are very familiar with all breeds. We signed up to be foster parents to shelter dogs, have administered medication and taken care of puppies and older dogs. We have one friendly yellow lab who is happy to welcome others into her home and play. We also have a two small children so we ask that your dogs be kid friendly. We are flexible, and can help in picking up and dropping off if nearby on certain days. If interested, please ask and we can try and coordinate. Please contact us! We would love to help you. We have a big yard for the dogs to run around and play in. We let them out whenever needed. Drop off and pick up times are flexible, but we ask that dogs are picked up or dropped off before 10pm. If this cannot be accommodated, we ask you please pay for an additional day and pick up the next morning. Or drop off the day before. We have a fenced in yard and a friendly yellow lab to provide lots of play. Most dogs are pretty tired and happy when they leave! Our kids give them lots of attention as well.
“Emily has done a few walks in the afternoons for our two pugs Earl and Opal. She is always on time and writes the best report cards after their walks, including pictures. She is very flexible and did not hesitate when we asked for some special treatment with our senior pug. She really seems to have a heart for dogs and we have been very happy with her!”

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 .

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 Cathcart. 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 Cathcart.

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 Cathcart. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
