About: I’ve raised, rescued, fostered, and even foster-failed many dogs in my adulthood. I’m a passionate pet lover! Experienced in puppy training, senior support, & special-needs. I have 6 animals of my own & it would be pawesome to tend to yours. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom! I quit my career early 2025 to care for my two special-needs senior dogs. Unfortunately, they both recently passed within weeks of one another. I now have idle time that provides me with a flexible schedule to fit you and your furbaby’s needs. I currently have 4 dogs, 1 cat, & a critter! All rescues! 2 are dachshunds which are both blind seniors. The other 2 are both medium sized and both are very friendly. My cat Loco is definitely used to dogs and the chaos they can sometimes bring in the house! We have dog beds throughout the house and we even customized our mudroom when we renovated, equipped with their crates and a dog wash station!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
About: In my life I have had many dog sitting experiences, I have my own dogs & cats! I have watched dogs as small as 10 pounds to dogs as big as 80 pounds or over, I have a very special place in my heart for any & all animals! I’m currently working part time & am a full time student at Jacksonville University! My school schedule is very short only 3 classes in person & the rest are online, I’m looking to leave my part time job to make this my new part time! I have experience with crated dogs & not crated dogs, however you choose to care for your babies will be how I take care of them.
About: Hi, I’m Anna 🖤 I’m a calm, dependable pet sitter providing structured, low-stress care for dogs and cats throughout Ashville, Gadsden, Rainbow City, Southside, and nearby areas. I specialize in caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, special-needs pets, multi-pet households, and dogs who thrive with routine, patience, and clear expectations. Whether your pet needs relaxing companionship, playtime and exercise, medication support, or consistent daily routines, I focus on making every visit feel safe, comfortable, and personalized to their needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your pets and home. My goal is always the same: dependable communication, reliable care, photo updates, and a calm environment where your pet feels emotionally secure while you’re away. I have experience with: • Puppies and potty training routines • Senior dog care • Oral and injected medications • Reactive or anxious dogs • Structured feeding schedules • Multi-pet households • High-energy dogs needing exercise • Calm companionship for shy pets • Crate-trained and routine-based care • Drop-ins, walks, boarding, daycare, and overnight care One of my own dogs, Velma, has been raised using calm, consistent structure both at home and in public settings. That experience taught me how much dogs benefit from patience, fairness, routine, and clear boundaries. I bring that same balanced energy into every pet care visit. Safety is extremely important to me. I use leashes or secure harnesses during outdoor time, monitor pet interactions carefully, maintain clean feeding routines, and follow household instructions closely to help keep pets safe and stress-free. A typical visit may include: • Walks or exercise • Potty breaks • Fresh food and water • Medication administration if needed • Playtime and enrichment • Calm companionship • Safety checks • Photo and Rover Card updates I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routines, so I tailor care to fit what helps them feel happiest and most secure. I also understand that communication matters. I respond quickly, provide regular updates, and do my best to make owners feel fully informed and comfortable throughout the booking process. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets 🖤 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family. Availability I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week 🖤 My goal is to provide dependable, calm, and structured care that helps dogs feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Preferred scheduling hours: Morning Visits: 8 AM–11 AM Midday Visits: 11 AM–2 PM Afternoon Visits: 2 PM–5 PM Evening Visits: 5 PM–7 PM I’m experienced with: • Puppies and structured potty routines • Senior dogs • Multi-dog households • Medication schedules • High-energy dogs needing exercise • Anxious or routine-based dogs needing calm, patient care During drop-in visits and walks, I focus on safety, communication, routine, and personalized attention. Owners can expect reliable updates, photos, and attentive care during every visit so they feel informed and confident while away from their pets 🖤 Your dog’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities 🖤 I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home, so I focus heavily on dependable communication, calm handling, and maintaining a clean, structured environment during every visit. I believe dogs thrive best with patience, consistency, routine, and clear boundaries. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, comfort needs, and daily routine so care feels as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. Safety practices include: • Secure leash and harness handling • Careful monitoring during walks and outdoor time • Slow introductions and supervised interactions • Clean feeding and water routines • Close attention to medications and instructions • Monitoring behavior, appetite, mood, and energy levels • Maintaining locked doors, gates, and household safety routines I’m especially mindful of anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and pets who need extra patience or structure. Some dogs need energetic play and exercise, while others simply need calm companionship and reassurance. I tailor care to what helps your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I also know that communication builds trust. Owners can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each booking so you always feel informed and connected while away from your pet. My goal is simple: to create a calm, reliable, and loving environment where dogs feel secure and owners feel complete peace of mind 🖤

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 498 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Coal City. 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 Coal City. 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 Coal City 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 Coal City. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
