“Christine does a phenomenal job caring for our puppy while we are at work. She responds immediately, takes a bunch of pics for us, and always ensures he is comfortable before leaving. Christine always makes sure to meet our specific needs and is very attentive with Arlo. We are so thankful to have such a reliable and kind person to assist us when needed.”
About: Hi everyone! My name's Shirl and I am hoping to make your life a bit easier by taking away the stress of leaving your pup behind while you're away. I have been pet sitting for over 12 years; I used to have dogs come board with me while owners went away, but I've found that most owners prefer their pets to stay in the comfort of their own home. I have years of experience doing overnight pet sitting, but unfortunately my growing family (3 dogs and a cat of my own) no longer allows for me to stay away from home overnight. I am happy to provide multiple daily visits and/or walks! My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you're away, by keeping their daily routine as close to "normal" as possible. I've cared for all types of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, chicks, quail, lizards, fish, etc.! I am an experienced dog handler/ animal lover at heart. I worked at/managed a doggie day care/boarding facility for 4 years, learning from a very experienced trainer who focuses on positive reinforcement techniques ONLY. During my time there, I had opportunities to complete trainings to understand dog behaviors and body language. I have volunteered at BARCS as a dog walker/foster, working primarily with bully breeds. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my entire life. From playing with salamanders as a kid, to growing up with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes; I've also had bunnies, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, hamsters, birds...the list goes on! I couldn't imagine a life without animals in it. My experience administering medication Yes. Working at a dog boarding facility for nearly 2 years I have had to give many forms of medications, and my personal pets also take oral medications. I am not trained to give injections. My full time job allows me to work from home majority of the week. That makes it easy for me to swing by for a visit at different times of the day. The latest drop in I can provide is 7pm. I am happy to provide updates as soon as I arrive, during the stay, and as I leave. For dog walks, I prefer not to introduce any dog that I’m handling to another dog passing by. This ensures everyone’s safety.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a couple years now and I’ve always enjoyed my furry counterparts. From walking them to playing with them, I’m happy to do whatever your furry family members require, including administering any medications. I’m currently working part time as a nanny but my days are short and I have flexibility to stay over or let dogs out whenever needed. I currently have a Rottweiler named Winston, a Basenji mix named Scarlett, and cat named Tigger. They are relatively low maintenance, alerting me when it’s dinner time and walk time. I give them lots of attention and affection and they’re a very happy bunch.
“Erikah was great with my parents’ dog and easy to work with prior and after the walk. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet. I manage my parents Rover account from afar and it’s sometimes hard to find walkers who are so responsive and nice.”
“Jenni had contacted me to let me know that she was on her way for our dogs’ walk. She took pics of them to show us that she was at our home with the dogs. I had told her about the route the dogs were use to taking and she showed us the map of the route. The dogs were good for her out on the walk. When they got home they were well tired enough and curled up for a nap. I look forward to having Jenni come walk them again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up caring for my own family pup, so pet care has always come naturally to me. Over the past year, I also fostered two dogs myself through Human Animal Partners of Delaware—one energetic puppy and one sweet senior. The puppy gave me hands-on experience with basic training, routine building, and positive reinforcement, while the senior pup helped me gain confidence with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and making sure medications and comfort needs were met. Both dogs were successfully adopted, and fostering taught me how to adapt to different personalities, build trust quickly, and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely treat every pet like my own. This upcoming semester my class load is very light, which means I have plenty of free time throughout the day. I can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and routines, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever your pet needs—whether that’s frequent potty breaks, longer walks, or extra cuddle time. When caring for pets my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I will always follow your pet’s normal routines as closely as possible so they feel secure, and I make sure they have plenty of supervision, especially during meals, walks, and playtime. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, secure leashes, and avoiding any unsafe foods or environments. I focus on creating a calm, positive atmosphere where pets can relax and feel at ease. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals, and I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace. Communication is also important to me, so you can expect updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
About: What sets me apart is 15+ years of pet care experience, expertise with senior and special-needs pets, and a personalized approach to every animal’s unique needs. With my flexible schedule, I can structure my schedule around visits, walks, or check-ins, making it easy to balance with other commitments. My experience with pets ensures that providing attentive, loving care feels natural and enjoyable, whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. With me as your sitter, your pet will be safe and comfortable in my home. With over 15 years of experience, I provide a pet-friendly, secure environment, free of hazards, where your pet will receive personalized care and attention. I ensure all pets feel at ease by maintaining their routines, offering cozy spaces, and supervising interactions with my own animals. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now, I have a 1.5 year old Lab named Knox who’s full of energy and love. He keeps me active, patience’s, and always on my toes! I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home. Because of them, I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.

Lillian is awesome! I just rescued a 5-month old puppy and she loved Lillian from the moment we met at the meet and greet. Lillian gives her a walk, lunch, and plenty of attention while helping to teach some manners on which we've been working. It's great having someone trust worthy that my puppy also loves! Thank you! ♥

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,099 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Childs. 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 Childs. 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 Childs.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Childs. On Rover:
- 96% 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 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.
