We’ve had Callae care for our two pups twice now. She’s very reliable, follows instructions to a T, and the pups always seem happy and comfortable when we get home. Will definitely book with her again!

About: I was born into a family of German Shepherd lovers, and grew up primarily taking care of our German Shepherds until about 10 years old when we also adopted cats and labradors. Once I graduated college, I adopted an 8 week old Alaskan malamute, who I cared for his entire 11 years of life until he passed just recently this past January. I am not ready to adopt again, but am missing the presence of dogs in my life and looking to fill that space by helping friends, family, neighbors and members of the community with their dog care needs. I am experienced with puppies, high maintenance animals, and especially with large breeds (my boy was 150lbs at a healthy weight and required at least 5 miles of exercise a day). I am kind, caring, uniquely experienced, energetic and reliable. I currently am only working/unavailable late Saturday and Sunday nights, and am extremely active during the week. I have plenty of free time in general. I am respectful to how you’d like your dog to be taken care of in your home and out and about, and also have my own set of everything (leashes, crate, toys, beds, etc) if need be.

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. Ive been called the animal whisperer by all my friends. The guy the antisocial cat chooses to sit in the lap of at the party, the person the my partners dog leaves them for, the guy who tames the horse that wont let anyone bridal. I have had at least 2 pet companions most of my childhood and into my current adult life. Both cats and dogs from kitten to elderly. Sometimes living in houses where my pets cohabitated with others pets, I become the one to feed/walk/train because I love interacting with them and their personalities. I take pride in knowing that I read signaling and body language well and can intuit needs and practice patience. I currently live with 2 cats and a dog which I do the majority of the pet care for. Cleaning up, feeding, and training the dog (shes still young - 2). So I wake up early and feed everyone. Take the dog to the park for an hour to play fetch. Rinse and repeat in the evening. I also have been pet sitting for friends over the past few months which has led me to wanting to work with more furry companions. In others homes I would always make sure to get background on pattern/rituals that exists for the clients pets and try to keep those up. Structure is important to animals and if they expect to get fed/walked/groomed at a specific time I totally respect that. Got a fav ball you want me to throw? Can do. A favorite tree on a walk that needs to be visited at least once a day? Show me where...

I have two rescue dogs and one kitty of my own, including one pup with epilepsy. I have fostered kittens, cats, and medically and behaviorally complex dogs. I bring a calm, confident energy that helps pets feel safe and supported. I’m also currently shadowing a professional trainer and working toward my dog training certification. You and your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. I work part time, short shifts as an animal care attendant, and volunteer the rest of my time! My availability varies, but am able to provide potty breaks every 5hrs(or less)! I am flexible and willing to adapt to your schedule :) I’ve never met an animal I didn’t get along with!

About: I routinely pet sit for family and friends! I genuinely enjoy it. The hardest part is always having to say goodbye. This is one of the reasons I'm always asked to come back. I grew up on a farm caring for all the same animals Old MacDonald had. One of the advantages of gig work is the ability to set your own hours. Determine the times during the day when you're available for pet-sitting tasks, such as dog walks, feeding, and playtime. I prioritize the well-being of your beloved pets, offering them not just routine care but genuine attention, ensuring they feel loved and secure. Trust is the foundation of our relationship—I aim to build it through clear communication, reliability, and transparency in every interaction. Additionally, I am committed to taking care of the environment in which your pets thrive, ensuring a safe and clean space. Your pets are not just my clients; they are family, and their happiness and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I stand out because I’m patient, reliable, and truly dedicated to helping pets feel safe and understood. I have experience with all ages, from energetic puppies who need guidance and structure to senior pets who require extra gentleness and attention. I also cared for a family’s diabetic cat for a full week, giving daily insulin shots and monitoring their behavior to make sure they stayed comfortable and healthy. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m always focused on creating a calm, loving environment tailored to their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently work part-time at a restaurant from 2pm–7:30pm a few days a week, and I’m a part-time online college student. This gives me plenty of flexibility, especially in the mornings and evenings. I use this open time to focus fully on walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and any special pet needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to structure my day around making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly so pets feel secure—whether that’s feeding times, walking routes, or specific care instructions. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I keep a close eye on behavior or any changes in health. I give updates, photos, and messages so owners know their pets are happy and safe. My goal is to create a calm, dependable environment where each pet feels understood, respected, and cared for just like they would by their own family.

About: Hi! I’m Jamie, a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of pet and house-sitting experience — and I truly mean lifelong. I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for pets and homes for most of my life. My approach is calm, patient, and intuitive, making me especially attuned to the needs of senior pets, shy or sensitive animals, or pets who simply need extra TLC. I provide friendly, professional in-home care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. From administering medication to long walks, from playful energy to quiet lap time, I adapt to meet your pet exactly where they are — whether young, old, quirky, or cuddly. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, barnyard animals, horses, and pets of all kinds — furry, feathered, scaled, or beyond — bringing the same calm, attentive care to each one. While I’m not a licensed trainer, I bring hands-on experience, training knowledge, and years of caregiving skills to every animal I meet.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dodson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 4,667 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dodson. 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 Dodson. 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 Dodson.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Dodson. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
