“We really like working with Kelley as our dog walker the last couple weeks. This was our first time using Rover and Kelley's come over almost daily to take our puppy on a walk while he's recovering from an illness. She's been great to work with! She's very communicative about their walks and i love that she takes pictures of him while they're out and about. I can tell she really has a passion for pets and truly cares deeply for them. Thank you Kelley!!”
About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.
About: I have owned Dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and more. Also have delivered puppies. I’ve always had animals growing up! I am very flexible on time and don’t mind making multiple runs or walks. Grooming is an option as well, boarding. I can and am willing to do a wide variety of requests. Experienced in training dogs and general health of animals. If I don’t know something specific, I am more than happy to do the research and educate myself properly to fulfill any questions or requests. Prices are also negotiable so don’t hesitate to give me a call at anytime. I look forward to hearing from you. Currently have a a flexible schedule. Available most times and days. Feel free to reach out with any specific time requests. I would be glad to help. I have a fenced in area for the dogs, cats are in home as well as kids. If animal does not get along with any of these, I will not accept.
“Kayla was great. Was on time, took the pups on a nice long walk, sent a few pictures, and communicated with me when she picked them up and dropped them off. Will definitely be reaching out for here services again.”
About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.
“I booked Shannon for a dog walk and was very happy with her service! Shannon was very responsive, open about her schedule, and worked with me to ensure my dogs needs were met. She took the time to meet and get to know my fur babies and showed that she truly cares. Shannon was a great with Roxy and Burton and we plan to continue working with Shannon in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Summer is awesome and everyone who wants their dogs walked should be reaching out! Very communicative and she came back to my house after leaving to check on their water after I forgot to mention it. Very kind of her to do that.”
About: Ive taken care of pets for friends and family across all sorts of breeds, species, and ages. I have years of experience owning a senior dog, and understand just how much our fuzzy friends mean to us. I currently work a super flexible job as a substitute teacher, and can make nearly any time you need work! Im guaranteed to be availible weekends and week nights, and will make more time if you are able to give me notice. I am keenly aware of the environment around me, as well as the lovable friends that inhabit it. I can quickly observe and react to their behaviors, and meet their needs with no delays.
About: Welcome! Hi! I'm Laura, and I'd love to care for your dog like they're part of the family. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to run, play, sniff, and burn off energy in a safe environment. Your pup will also have the opportunity to socialize with my two friendly Old English Sheepdogs. I believe every dog deserves individual attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. Meet My Dogs 🐾 Remy (5 years old) Remy is my energetic male Old English Sheepdog. He absolutely loves meeting new people and dogs! During introductions he can get very excited, which means he may bark and pull on the leash at first. Once he's had a chance to say hello, he settles down nicely and is eager to make a new friend. 🐾 Sylvie (8 years old) Sylvie is my sweet female Old English Sheepdog who loves people. She can sometimes experience a little social anxiety when meeting unfamiliar dogs, so I always make introductions carefully. She is also afraid of children (we're actively working on building her confidence), so I ask that children give her plenty of respectful space during meet and greets. Meet & Greets I highly recommend scheduling a meet and greet before your dog's first stay. This gives everyone a chance to get acquainted, ensures your dog is comfortable with my home and dogs, and helps make the boarding experience as stress-free as possible. A note about independence: I love spending time with my guest dogs and giving them plenty of affection, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. However, I’m best suited for dogs who can also settle and relax independently. I work from home and need to be able to sleep, work, cook, and take care of things around the house without a dog continuously demanding attention, whining, barking for attention, pawing at me, or needing to follow me from room to room at all times. If your dog is a “Velcro dog” who becomes distressed or persistently vocal when they aren’t receiving direct attention, my home probably won’t be the best fit. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing on their own for periods of time while I’m elsewhere in the house. Of course, they’ll still receive lots of love and attention throughout their stay. I just need my four-legged guests to understand that sometimes it’s independent relaxation time. Late Drop-off & Pick-up Policy: A 30-minute grace period is provided. Drop-offs or pick-ups more than 30 minutes after the scheduled time will incur a $25 late fee for each hour or portion of an hour. Please notify me as soon as possible if you're running late. Optional Grooming & Care Add-Ons If you'd like your pup to go home looking and feeling their best, I also offer these optional services: - Nail grinding: $20 per dog - Bath: Starting at $30 (price varies by coat size and length) - Teeth brushing: $10 - Ear cleaning: $15 - Dematting & brushing: $30 per hour (for heavily matted or thick-coated dogs; time varies depending on coat condition) If you have any questions about my home, my dogs, or your dog's stay, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I recently got laid off. While I am actively job hunting, I will be at home regularly and can provide frequent care and potty breaks. I have a fenced-in yard and a treasure chest of toys that I can use to play with the dogs. If they're clean, then they're allowed on the furniture. If not, then they'll need to be washed in the downstairs tub.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
About: I live with my 12 year old Australian Shepherd named Bailey, a 5 year old orange Tabby named Pickle, and a 3 year old tuxedo cat named Fern. I love animals of all kinds and would like to use my love of animals to earn extra income. I will provide treats, attention, and positively reinforced gentle training. I'm responsible with animals and enjoy teaching tricks, manners, verbal and non verbal cues. I've never met a pet that I couldn't love! It makes me sad that our sweet pets are home alone missing us while we are at work, so hire me! I've been called a 'dog freak' more than once. Please let me work with you and your pets. I'll be waiting!

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 Cedar Lake. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
