“Last minute pinch Laura made it happen ! She is so flexible and scheduling and responses were so quick and efficient. She was so loving and caring for our 18 week old Bernese mountain dog. After the walk she would send updates and pictures of our little pup 🐾I really appreciated that as a dog mom ! Would highly recommend having Laura take care of your fur babies !!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for pets for years, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and will treat every pet like they are my own. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in school, but not for long so i will have plenty of time for your pups! I go in around 8am and get out around 12:30pm. I work only on Saturday’s, but just in the evening. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I have one friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. I will give your pet plenty of attention and supervision, while making sure they have space to feel comfortable. I can crate your dog if needed and will follow your instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and their normal routine.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

I have a few regular clients I see, but I would love to add a few more fur babies to my daily agenda :) I’m currently saving for my wedding, and I’m a stay at home mom, so every dollar is greatly appreciated! :) I promise your babies are in great hands. I’m currently a stay at home, with more than enough time on my hands! Honestly taking care of the fur babies brings me so much joy, while I can still enjoy the freedoms of not having a “9-5” job. I’m very thankful for each and every opportunity’ The most safe!!! I’m a mom and I have eyes like a hawk! They are in great hands. I truly take a lot of pride in the work that I do, and I know each and every fur baby is irreplaceable and I treat them as such :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young, frequently helping neighbors and friends as well as daily caring for my own. In all the work I do, I’m very detail oriented and perceptive; pets are important parts of families, and the way that you desire for your pet to be cared for is very important to me! I will seek to serve your family to the best of my ability. I am currently employed with a local ministry part time that allows much flexibility in my schedule. I will soon be pursuing a Masters in Social Work this fall, but have plenty of time this summer to help out with your pups! I love being outside and going on long walks!! There are several dog parks near my home as well as plenty of open green space. I know plenty of walking paths that I think your dogs would love!

About: Hi there! My name is Kira! I’ve worked at The Franklin County Dog Shelter, managed boarding facilities and doggy daycares, and I currently work at two Veterinary Emergency Hospitals. I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments and energy levels — from shy or anxious babies to high-drive chaos gremlins. I have three dogs and three cats of my own, and a lot of my free time is spent training and finding ways to keep them mentally and physically fulfilled. I really love learning how each animal thinks and what makes things work best for everyone. I only accept bookings on days I know I’ll be fully available, so your pet isn’t just another stop in a packed schedule. I stick closely to your routines, can handle medications, and will always communicate clearly if anything seems off. I also love sending photo updates (probably too many), because I know how hard it can be to be away from them. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely comfortable, and I want your pet to feel understood. I can’t wait to meet your crew! What you can expect when booking with me: • Reliable availability on reserved dates • photo + video updates (I love pet photography!) • Strict adherence to your pet’s routine • Clear communication • A sitter who knows what’s normal (and what’s not!) I only accept bookings on days I know I’ll be fully available, so your pet isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule. When I’m with them, I’m with them. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your routine closely, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I’m experienced with administering medications and recognizing when something isn’t normal due to my background in veterinary emergency medicine. Your home will always be respected, secured, and left exactly as I found it.

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 Darbyville. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

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.
