“I had booked Jennifer to walk my dog Daisy, twice a day for 5 days. On the first day, Daisy wouldn't come near her. She then spent the whole time coaxing her and on the second day she was able to put the leash around her. She is very gentle and a sweetheart. Little did she knew I was watching her on camera ? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER”
About: I've been living in a pet-filled household since I was born. I've seen 3 puppies grow into seniors, and I'm currently living in a 3 pet household: senior black lab, baby doodle, and a bossy tuxedo cat. I've learned the work of taking care of a pet since I was little, but more so in the last several years I've really taken on a lot more responsibility. I love caring for pets and learning their own unique habits and personalities. I'm currently a full-time college student and looking to use this as a way to make some money while in college. I have a car and no problem with transportation, my schedule varies but I'm almost always available to take care of any pets. In my own home, we have a big backyard as well as a fenced in patio if the pets want to sit outside. They have their own crates and food bowls as well, although sometimes they sneak into the crate together. I'm someone who follows directions to a T, and if I don't understand something I will always clarify.

And I have grown up around animals and know how to handle reptiles, birds, rabbits, and other common pets. Pets are always welcome in my weekly routine! I’m a university student and I have classes 2 days during the week so I have plenty of time to take care of your babies! I also take care of the pets of my family and friends whenever they’re away and have boarded and does a home stay! I would approach the pet calmly using a calm voice and positive reinforcement to provide a loving relationship with them. I would also do everything I could to make them more comfortable, whether it be doing something silly that’s in their daily routine or give them extra special attention. I will always try my best to help them feel safe and taken care of!
About: -With 25+ years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies and large breeds to seniors and pets with special medical needs. -My first dog was a diabetic Labrador, so I became comfortable with medication routines early on, including administering injections and caring for animals requiring extra attention. I currently have a friendly, well-trained female German Shepherd whom I personally trained through an instructor-led K-9 obedience program as a puppy. That experience gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, canine behavior, and confidently handling large, strong dogs. I’m equally comfortable with the smaller breeds and have cared for breeds such as Shih Tzus, Pomskies, Spaniels, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and many others. -While I’m newer to Rover, I’m not new to pet sitting. I have established clients I’ve cared for over the years, and working remotely has now given me much more flexibility to take on new furry friends. -I have open availability and my own reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate different routines and schedules. I love long walks, outdoor time, play sessions, and enrichment, but I’m just as happy hanging out with a pet who prefers calm companionship. I tailor my care to your pet’s normal routine and personality rather than expecting them to adapt to mine. -I know leaving your pet and allowing someone into your home requires a lot of trust. I follow instructions closely and pay full attention to my surroundings and your pet. Safety and security are always my top priority. I’m mindful that I’m a guest in your home and will always respect your privacy, personal space, and property. -You can also expect plenty of communication while you’re away. I’ll send updates and photos so you know exactly how things are going, and do everything I can to provide a smooth visit. -Feel free to message me with any questions! I always encourage a meet & greet beforehand so all parties and pets involved feel more comfortable before the first visit. Thanks for reading and hope to meet you soon! I have a flexible schedule and wide availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings as well as recurring visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I provide attentive, reliable care in your home, following all instructions exactly as requested. I prioritize safety, routines, and comfort, and I’m experienced with administering medications, senior dogs, and special-needs care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I offer dependable dog care focused on walks and drop-in visits, and I take the time to get to know each dog and their routine. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want a calm visit, food, and a little company. I have experience with: Daily walks and playtime Drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, and companionship Puppies, including patience with training routines and leash walking Senior dogs who need slower walks, gentle care, and extra attention Giving basic medications and supplements when needed I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, and I follow care instructions exactly as requested. I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and energy and will always reach out if something feels off. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe, and that you feel confident knowing they’re being cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your day. et care fits naturally into my daily routine. I offer walks and drop-in visits around my work schedule, mainly mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, as well as weekends. Because I do this part time, I keep my availability realistic and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to be punctual, unhurried, and fully present during each visit rather than rushing between appointments. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a consistent schedule, whether that’s regular weekly walks or occasional drop-ins. I also understand that plans can change, and I do my best to be flexible when possible. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on safety, consistency, and following your instructions exactly. Before each visit, I review feeding, walking, and care details so nothing is missed. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as provided and stay aware of surroundings, weather, and your dog’s comfort level. I adjust pace and distance based on age, energy, and health. In your home, I’m mindful of routines and boundaries. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are refreshed, and your dog has calm, positive interaction. I keep visits unhurried so your pet feels relaxed and cared for, not rushed. I also pay close attention to behavior and well-being. If I notice anything unusual — changes in appetite, energy, or mood — I communicate promptly. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is simple: your pet feels secure, and you feel confident trusting me with your home and your dog.
“I can’t recommend Shirel enough! My regular dog walker wasn’t available, and Shirel stepped in and helped me out - even though she had never met my dog before. From the very first walk, everything felt so easy and reassuring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I can truly see it through the many adorable photos she sends from their walks. On top of that, the detailed walk cards are something I really adore—they give me such peace of mind and show how much care and attention she puts into every walk. It’s clear Shirel genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. I’m so grateful I found her and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my dog again!”

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 Christmas. 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.

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.
