About: My family has always included at least one fur baby. When I moved out at 19, I became the proud owner of Russia, a hyper, sweet, spoiled Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador mix. After meeting my husband, she gained a brother, Chaos, a lazy, snuggly, wiggly brindle Cane Corso/English Bulldog mix. Last October we rescued Runner, a shy but loving and playful Husky. Last February we welcomed our most recent rescue, Germany, a spicy, diva Miniature Pincher. As a person with four fur babies of her own, I know that it is not always possible to take your fur babies with you. I am also familiar with the feelings of worry and guilt that are experienced when separated from them. For this reason, I make every effort to transform the pet's seperation into a staycation! I try to facilitate extra special experiences of love and quality time that in the past have included (when approved by the owner): Snuggles while watching a show Extra walk walks Car car rides to take walk walks in parks for a change of scenery Extra play time (especially ball ball and tug of war to wear them out!) Car car rides to the pet store to pick out a toy or treat Greeting them with a new toy or treat once a day Car car ride to a puppy play date Car car ride just for fun! And anything else the owner may suggest the furry friend may enjoy! :) I further take the time to send photos paired with a typed update each visit to the owners to ease the difficulty of being apart. I take care to follow any and all specifications communicated by the owner and always ask questions to clarify anything that I am uncertain of. I am excited to become friends with your fur baby! I work full time 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am able to spend quality time with furry friends before work, and after work with a check in over my hour lunch break if need be! I greet all animals with affectionate pets and usually with a treat (if allowed). Fresh, clean water will always be available. Food will be distributed and prepared per owner specifications. Treats will be given generously (with owner approval) in addition to pets and playtime. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement with animals. Each visit will have at least one walk. It is preferable that harnesses are available to use. If a collar is used, it should be "normal" (no shock collar or choker collar please). I am more than happy to being a harness along! Please let me know in advance. Each visit I will take photos to send with typed updates on how the furry friend is doing. I will discuss with the owner what is allowed and reccomened with the fur baby to make the experience more like a staycation :)
About: I’ve been caring for pets ever since I could remember—from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs, cats, and everything in between. I genuinely love animals and always treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved—whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there for comfort and companionship. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule, so we will work out what is most convenient for your schedule and availability! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and routine they’re used to. I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping things clean, calm, and secure.

I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I am currently working part time at Aldi in Lafayette and taking classes. I am currently taking only one class online until October and then my schedule will be open. My services will take place at my client's home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Elida is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $17 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 73 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elida. 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 Elida. 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 Elida 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 Elida. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
