“Lindsey was the best dog-walker we could ask for... We have a spirited labrador retriever, and she handled him beautifully, safely and timely. I always received pictures, video and a status report with every walk. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone seeking a reliable dog walker.”

About: We had a poodle and then a cat in the house when I was a kid. Since then I've lived with several different cats and have been helping to look after friends' pets of various species when they're out of town or unavailable. I completed a course by the Professional Pet Care Association to become a Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker. I typically start my primary job at 3pm so late mornings and early afternoons are great for drop-ins or walks. Thursdays and Fridays are my normal days off so I'm available to spend more time with your pets then. The Practical Stuff: Happy to come over and provide food, water, exercise, and scoop litter boxes for your pets. The Other Important Stuff: I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you're not there. I love petting, cuddling, playing, talking and generally hanging out with any dog or cat that wants the attention. If you have other pets like fish, reptiles, arthropods, etc. I can likely help out with them too. Let's talk about it. I'm fond of house plants and have dozens of my own so I'm happy to keep them watered for you.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 8 years old with my first dog being a border collie mix, who I trained in 4H for 5 or 6 years. After I moved out, I got my own dog, a lab/GSD mix, and she is now 7.5 years old. There are 5 dogs in my family, ranging from 9months to 10 years old. I’ve been a professional dog trainer for 5 years now, and can give meds as needed. I work full time at a pet store, but if needed I can do potty breaks on my lunch break (depending on how far your house is away from my work). I can do pretty much any wake up time/morning routines so your dog isn’t too stressed. I work til 8 or 9:30 T/W/Th so they might have later nights than normal, but the rest of the days are more flexible. I will stay with your dogs, and follow your instructions. If they’re better in the crate at night, I’ll crate them, if they’d rather sleep out free, they can do that. I try not to change their schedule/routines too much whenever possible.
“Emily is great with pets and went above and beyond to give my pup a good day and plenty of exercise. Great communication and photographs, prompt replies to everything. She did not need instructions for courtesies like wiping off paws when coming inside on a wet day, she just did it as the standard. I highly recommend Emily for dog walking, in house visits, or other services.”

About: Lifelong Care You Can Trust I may not have a corporate resume in pet care, but I have a lifetime of hands-on experience loving and caring for animals. Growing up, my family raised an Old English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Today, my home is shared with two short-hair cats and my two children. My entire daily life is centered around routine, safety, and animal happiness. have a highly flexible schedule that revolves perfectly around your cat's/dog’sneeds. As a full-time online business student and dad, my days are structured but completely open for pet care.Once I finish the morning school and work drop-off at 7:30 AM, my day is yours. I am fully available for drop-ins, feedings, and playtime all morning and afternoon. I just step away briefly for family pickups at 2:15 PM and 3:45 PM, but otherwise, I am studying from home and ready to provide your cat/dog with constant companionship, monitoring, and love. Your home is your cat’s castle, and I treat it with total respect and military-grade reliability. Because my own cat, Nova, suffers from severe anxiety, I am a master at reading feline body language and handling sensitive cats. I know exactly how to walk into a house gently, build trust on their terms, and sneak medication seamlessly into wet food without making it a stressful event. If your cat is more like my other cat, Stella—vocal and demanding—I speak fluent "meow" and know exactly when they are asking for attention, food, or space. When I visit your home for feedings, walks, or check-ins, you can expect:Flawless Routines: Exact adherence to your feeding schedules, water fountain/bowl top-offs, and meticulous litter box scooping (yes, I even know how to maintain and troubleshoot specialized tech like Litter-Robots).High-Level Security: I double-check that doors are locked, windows are secure, and no toxic house hazards are left within reach before I leave.TLC & Play: High-energy toy sessions for the active kitties, or calm, quiet companionship for the introverts.

About: I bring 13 years of pet care/pet sitting experience and the goal of making your pet’s day feel similar, even while you’re away. I enjoy taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and the little things you know about them best. My approach is patient, attentive, and guided by your instructions. I know there’s a lot of trust involved in handing someone else your leash and I take pride in you feeling comfortable leaving them with me and getting the little things right. I work part-time as a nurse and am in graduate school, so my availability changes from week to week. No particular day or time is off-limits—it just depends on my work and class schedule. Share the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I can accommodate! Before caring for your pet, I’ll ask about their habits, house rules, and anything that might need extra attention. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and give your pet time to get comfortable with me. You can expect updates along the way, and if something seems out of the ordinary, I’ll reach out to you immediately rather than guess.
About: I absolutely adore animals and love spending time outdoors taking dogs on runs, walks, or just giving them all my attention. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play! I love going to new locations and be able to spend my time outdoors enjoying the fresh air with a little furry friend. My morkie, Adela, hates being left alone at home and would rather be outdoors chasing squirrels or going on walks so if you have a pet like this, I will be super excited to have the opportunity to keep your dog busy while you are busy at work, running errands, or have a party to attend. I am excited to hear from you and am willing to accommodate to your needs! If we are dog sitting on the weekends, we ensure we are home and spoiling the dogs! You will find us on long walks, playing ball, sitting outside in our back yard, or giving scratches! During the work week, my husband works from home and is able to entertain the dogs throughout the day. Walks are a must in the evenings every night! I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run freely! Dogs are allowed on all the furniture are are treated just as if they are my own! Daily walks and treats are a must!
About: I've had pets since I was five years old, and have taken care of dogs for the last six years. I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and miss being around them every day. Growing up, I cared for different pets in my neighborhood, and have been on Rover since 2020, working with pets of all shapes and sizes (but mostly dogs and cats). I have an extremely flexible schedule since I work in a hybrid capacity, and can be available as often as your pet requires me to be. I have availability every day of the week, as well as nights. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person, who wants nothing more than to provide your fur baby with a safe and caring environment. I am also very respectful of others' space.
About: I’ve been a Nanny for the last 20 years and will dutifully treat your pups with the same care, love and safety as a child. I’m a full time Household manager and have full flexibility with my daily shedule and love to add in doggie walks and visits to help break up long days home alone. I will keep your pets safe, loved and active, while following their normal daily shedule. I’m very attentive and will also freely communicate and share pictures!
About: I have experience caring for my family’s dogs as well as my boyfriend’s dog while their owners are out of town. I ensure they are taken outside for bathroom breaks before coming inside, maintain a consistent feeding schedule, and always make sure they have fresh food and water. I also enjoy working with dogs on basic training and have successfully taught my own dog commands such as “sit” and “shake.” Im currently a full time student at RCTC in the dental assistant program but I am willing to accommodate what works for you and your pets! I care for pets like they’re my own. I make sure pets are well feed and have water. I make sure to keep an eye on them well outside.
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years now with experience with any age or size of dog. I am very flexible with your or your pets needs. I offer all services available. I am home full time so I am able to be with your dog and provide potty and play breaks several times during the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! I am home full time so your dog will never be alone.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, patient, and comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that means long walks, playing outside, feeding, keeping up with a routine, or just giving them some company, I’m happy to help. I work in college athletics, so being responsible, organized, on time, and communicating well are a big part of my everyday life. I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, especially during mornings and early afternoons, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and taking care of pets throughout the day. I also have days with significantly more availability and can accommodate overnight and weekend care depending on my schedule. I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I take being trusted with someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or other care instructions you provide. I’m also big on communication and will send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying with me, I’ll make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, attention, and plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Douglas is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Douglas. 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 Douglas 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 Douglas. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
