About: Hello! With 6 years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant, I'm experienced in caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I'm attentive to behavior, body language, and routines, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My family and friends have entrusted me to care for their young pets as well as their older ones. I currently have a Rottweiler, a Yorkie, and 4 cats (I've even had a hedgehog for many years), so I don't shy away from many animals! I'm unavailable after 5PM on Monday & Wednesday. On Tuesday & Thursday, I'm available after 2PM. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date! I understand feeling anxious entrusting your pet to a stranger, but I'll do everything I can to make your pet feel as loved as possible. I'll make sure your pet gets their steps in (if dog walking). The water bowl will never run dry, and I will diligently handle client requests to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible.
About: Hey everyone! A little about me is that I’m a veteran who got out of the military in 2025, and since then I’ve been a stay-at-home dad to my kids and my two dogs. Safe to say the dogs are just as spoiled as the kids around here lol. I’ve had my dogs for over 4 years, and they’re truly family to me, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. So even though I haven’t professionally dog sat before, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and just making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in their environment. What I think really sets me apart is that I’m home most of the day as a stay-at-home dad, so your pets won’t just be left alone waiting for someone to come back hours later which really helps if they have separation anxiety! Trust me I know! Lol They’ll get real attention, supervision, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also know how important routines are for pets, so I do my best to stick to whatever schedule your dog or dogs are used to so they feel right at home. Whether your dog or dogs are just balls of energy or they just want someone to hang out with on the couch, I’m happy to match their vibe. Honestly, I just treat them the same way I’d want someone treating my own dogs. I’m a stay-at-home dad, so my schedule is super flexible and I’m home most of the day. I don’t work outside the home, which means I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and keep things as consistent as possible, whether that’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medication, or bedtime routines. I’m usually up early and stay up late, so early drop-offs, late check-ins, and keeping up with active pups is never a problem! My biggest thing is treating your pet or pets as part of the family here! I have a big backyard for dogs to run around, play, and get their energy out, plus two friendly dogs of my own that love making new buddies. I make sure your pets are getting plenty of playtime, attention, potty breaks, fresh water, and are fed on the exact schedule you provide so they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. The last thing you need is to worry if they are off schedule! I know every pet has a different personality and their own little quirks, but either way I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. And don’t worry about accidents and messes because they do happen sometimes and to me it’s no big deal!
About: I've cared for all types of animals my entire life. My experience extends from volunteering at rescues and shelters to working at a bustling kennel. As a devoted dog owner myself, I truly believe every animal deserves to be loved and treated like family. I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your beloved pet! I work a rotating schedule as a MHT. I also am available every other weekend all weekend long . Message me to book today, Thanks! I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs to keep yours company if you wish for me to watch your furry bestie at my house. I also take very good care of my clients pets and homes if I stay/ work in their homes.
About: I am a animal lover, I've worked with rescue animals. I house and baby sit for my Grand furs, and I have found it easier for the animal in their environment. I do have 1 dog and 2 cats. I know trusting someone with your animals can be an uneasy feeling but I will update and send photos if you like! Caring for animals is something I really enjoy and I spoil them like I do my own. I feel I could be a good fit for you and your pet needs. I currently work Monday thru Friday, 7am until 4pm. I can offer drop ins, walks and House/animal sitting in the evenings and Weekends. If you are close to work I can do lunch drop ins I currently do not keep dogs in my home. I have a senior dog that is old a grumpy, He does not care in the slightest to meet new dogs..lol
About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs and other animal types - my love and dedication to their well-being have only grown stronger over the years. Growing up on a farm gave me the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals, from reptiles and amphibians to cats, dogs, livestock, and everything in between, which helped me develop a deep appreciation and understanding of animals of all kinds. I am experienced in providing daily care by feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes and kennels, monitoring behavior, and ensuring cats have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I am also comfortable administering oral medications and understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and consistency when caring for animals with medical needs. Caring for pets is more than just a responsibility to me—it is a true passion, and I am committed to treating every animal with the same compassion, respect, and love that I would give my own. I’m not working right now due to personal reasons and would love to do something with pets regardless of what it is. I’ve always wanted to get into the vet field I cannot care for pets in my home due to me renting. Maybe in the future I will be able to care for them in my home as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cottondale. 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 Cottondale. 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 Cottondale 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 Cottondale. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
