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: My dad always had and trained dogs when I was growing up. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. Dogs are a wonderful part of a family and teach us about relationships. I work 4 days a week. I’m available 24/7 Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I’m also available Thursday evenings after 6 pm. I live in a pet approved apartment complex where we have plenty of walking areas for pets. They will need to be leash trained or small enough I can carry them to our fenced in pet area for potty/ outdoor play time. I have two cats but have no problem with keeping them put up in my bedroom while your pet is staying with me. They are both spayed and neutered and have their vaccines. I would love to have your pet stay or I can come to you.
About: I will take care of your animal as if it were my own! I have walked/taken care of animals most of my life! I have grown up with all sorts of animals! I own a dog of my own that I rescued over a year ago and she is everything to me! I love all animals and I am available to tend to your animal as frequent or as little as you need! I am happy to help in any capacity! I will walk, pet, feed, love your dog as if it’s my own! My dog needs a lot of attention and love so I am willing to give that to any animal in my care!
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

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 Dothan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
