About: If you’re looking for two dog obsessed floof enthusiasts🐶🐶🐾🐾🤩🤩 who provide full-time care and can't get enough of spoiling your fur children...look no further, you’ve come to the right place! We do this because we LOVE to do it, not because we have to❤️. We are Tom & Nikki and welcome to our Rover profile😄 - 🐶ABOUT US🐶 Hi, I’m Tom😊. I’ve been an animal and dog lover since I was a kid! When Nikki and I got married, I became a proud fur dad to her two beloved elderly English Bulldog children. Caring for their special needs and medications taught me so much about senior dog care. Sadly, when we had to say goodbye to both of them😢, our home felt empty without the tippy tap sounds of their toebeans running around everywhere😔. We truly missed the joy and companionship dogs bring, which is why we decided to open up our hearts and home to provide exceptional love and superior care to the wonderful dogs of our community. We consider your dogs not just pets, but cherished family members of our own family🐶❤️ - Hi, I’m Nikki😄. I’ve had a lifelong dog obsession for as long as I can remember🐶😍. I’m definitely “that" dog person who spots a furry floof in the distance and immediately drops everything to run over to squish it with love. It’s impossible for me *not* to get attached to every dog in our care😆. As a matter of fact, Tom always jokes that I need therapy because I never want to let them go. I’d happily keep spoiling each one forever! Of course, he also reminds me that they do have families they eventually need to go back to🤣. I’ve owned and loved three English Bulldogs, a breed known for being incredibly high maintenance in every way. Because of that experience, I’ve developed a keen eye for noticing even the smallest changes in a dog’s behavior, health, or mood. By default, every dog in our care is treated like our own❤️, and we don’t know any other way to treat these precious babies Tom and I consider angels on earth😇🥰 - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs - 🐶PLEASE NOTE🐶: Because safety is our number one priority for all dogs under our care, we have a zero aggression policy. Meaning that if your dog currently has (or has any history of) signs of aggression towards other dogs and/or humans, unfortunately we cannot accommodate them here in our home. We do not offer segregated boarding. For the safety of your dog and the other dogs here, your best option may be a sitter who watches one dog at a time. In the event your dog were to show aggression during their stay and compromise the safety of the other dogs here, please have an emergency contact where you can arrange to pick up your dog - 🐶MEET & GREETS🐶 Meet and Greets will take place in our front yard and be limited to 15 minutes. We do not give a house tour due to liability reasons, however there is a collection of pictures on our profile that you can use for visual reference :) 🐶OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE🐶 Nikki is home full-time for doggy daycare and boarders. Tom is at work two days a week and home full-time the rest of the days for daycare and boarders when he is not doing drop-in visits and dog walking. On Sundays, dogs will be crated between 9:30-noon when we’re at church - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs Our cozy home is an ocean of coziness with fluffy dog beds, blankies, and pillows in every area for your dog to lounge and relax in. We have a nice air conditioner that cranks in the summer and a nice heater that keeps the home nice and toasty in the winter, and we have a securely fenced-in yard where your fur baby can enjoy sunbathing, outdoor playtime, leisurely walks, and the infamous sniffing and exploring doggies love to do. Because safety is our number one top priority, they are never left unsupervised both indoors and outdoors. Potty trained dogs are allowed on most furniture (we regularly deep clean every part of our home, especially all the furniture upholstery and rugs). We want them to feel right at home the moment they arrive in our driveway! - 🐶DROP-OFF/PICK-UP🐶 When you arrive here for drop-off's and pick-up's (and Meet & Greets), please have your dog on a leash. We will unleash them once they're safely inside our securely fenced-in yard. - 🐶DURING YOUR PUP'S STAY🐶 When your dog first arrives, we closely observe and monitor their interactions with other dogs (because we typically have multiple dogs here with us at any given time) to be aware of any dynamics that require attention. If any concerns arise, we promptly separate dogs into separate areas (we have multiple gates secured to each doorway inside our home) to ensure their well-being and comfort. - 🐶FEEDING🐶 At mealtime, your dog will enjoy their food in a designated and separated area, ensuring they can savor their meal without interruptions from other dogs. This practice not only prevents food-related aggression but also reduces the likelihood of digestive problems that may occur when consuming unfamiliar dog food. - 🐶SLEEPING🐶 For the safety of all the dogs staying with us, for bedtime they all sleep in crates with a clean and cozy bed and blankie that we will provide. We have a wide variety of crate sizes available, so no need to lug yours over here. We’ve got you covered! All you need to bring is their food and their collar/harness.

About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I am the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.

About: I've had my own cats and dogs since I was born and started taking care of animals all throughout my neighborhood since I was 10. I love all animals and can't wait to love yours! I have my own labradoodle right now and she is the sweetest but loves to cause trouble so I'm always making sure she's getting play time and treats! I've been pet sitting for families in my neighborhood for around 10 years now and am open to care for your pet with any qualifications you provide. Whether that's going for a walk, having playtime, or simply lounging and giving some pets!

About: I have worked at vet clinics and at barns so I have diverse experiences to handle animals. I also have had pets my whole life. I recently moved to athens to start vet school. Since it is the summer I am a free book and have time all day to watch your baby. I have a townhouse with a dog park to take your baby out. I also have a spacious living room where we can play and cuddle. In your home, I will respect your schedule and follow it to a tee.

About: I've been taking care of my family pets as far back as I can remember! I have a small dog of my own who I spoil beyond belief. I love cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and I truly believe they deserve every good thing life could possibly offer them. I've dealt with all the ups and downs of having pets from allergies, injuries, diets, and fleas to cuddles and grooming. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and help you give them the attention and care that they deserve! I'll be available all summer outside of the evenings Friday-Sunday due to my part time job. During the fall I'm free every Monday and Wednesday. I'll also be available from morning to noon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My own pets have taught me so much about caring for dogs and cats. I understand their body language when they are agitated or hurt and I pay close attention to the things that catch their eyes. Therefore, I can easily keep your pet out of trouble in and out of the house whether that be in your yard, living room, or walks. My priority is always their safety and happiness. I can easily crate dogs, keep them on their leash, and be wary of that suspicious crunch sound in their mouth when they find something they shouldn't have.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.

About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.

I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elder. 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 Elder. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Elder 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elder. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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 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.
