About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Kate. I’m a mom of 2, and I have always had a strong love for animals. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats, some of whom are rescues. Growing up, I had a medically fragile dog that I administered insulin to and because of this, animals with disabilities have a special place in my heart. I have experience caring for multiple pets — up to 10 cats at one time. I have cared for pets of all sorts of temperaments and sizes and feel confident that I can provide exceptional care for your pet. It’s extremely important to me that you feel you can not only trust me but know that I will follow your instructions/routine perfectly and treat your pet like they are my own. I am a stay-at-home mom to my 3-year-old. Our days consist of being at home and playing in our backyard when we’re not running the occasional errand. I have open availability morning, afternoon and evening Monday—Sunday. My pets are family, and they are treated just that way. They all love to play, whether it’s fetch in the backyard, puzzle boards stuffed with treats or running after toy mice. In the evenings, they love to cuddle on the couch together. Each of my pets have different needs. Once I understood their personalities and behaviors, I tailored my everyday routine.

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years total where I learned how to train dogs from Kathy Sadao who used to train the wales to relinquish the bombs for the Navy. I have owned large and XL breed dogs my whole life as well. I will treat your dog like a human child as they will be allowed on my furniture, my bed, and probably my kids beds as well. I have a little over 10 acres for them to play on. We are starting a small farm style residents and would love to shower your fur babies with love and attention. Since starting Rover, 90% of my clients are returning, and become part of our family as well. I have trained people’s dogs in the time I have had them along with help manage dogs anxiety’s to different things. I helped a water aggressive dog become no longer water aggressive. A dog who pulled on a leash so hard you couldn’t walk him to now, my 6 year old son walks him with no worries. As much as my family loves to play with and cuddle your 4 legged babies we also love to help you out by training them if we can. I have plenty of time for all pet care needs to be met. I am a stay at home mom, but all my kids now go to school so your fur babies will have all my attention most of the time during the week. I have a fenced yard, very safe neighborhood, loving high energetic family, big house, 10 acres, and I have worked at an animal hospital in the past I can tell if something is wrong with your dog. If you would like I love sending pictures and videos as well.

About: Hello everyone! Thank you for taking a look at my Rover profile! I've grown up around many kinds of animals. There always were at least 3 dogs at my parent's house for as long as I can remember. I have taken care many dogs over the years. We had 2 large litters of puppies. So I can work with younger pets that are still potty training. Besides dogs, I'm VERY good with cats as well. For the past 13 years I've had my kitty Peach. She is my little baby. I absolutely love her! I can also take care of aquarium life, rodents, reptiles, birds, and farm animals (right now I just have experience with chickens). I'm a fast learner. In my spare time I enjoy taking photos, singing, sewing, painting, and any other sort of craft! I’m currently taking a break from office life to focus on my wellbeing and do Rover full-time. I like to stay active for my weightlifting, so I do go to the gym for about an hour a few times throughout the week. When I’m in the a clients home, I try to stick to their care plan as closely as I can. It’s so important for pets to have their routines and could be stressful to them if it’s changed, especially when their favorite people are not around.

About: Hi my name is Crystal. I love animals and do my best to give your pets the best care I can provide. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young- since I have always grown up around animals. I want to make sure your pet has a safe, exciting, and enriching experience with me. I have experience providing medicine and caring for injured pets. I am also very active, and love to include my dogs in any capacity I can. If you’re looking for someone who loves dogs and wants to provide the best possible care to your fur ball- you’ve found your girl!! I am currently on summer break from college- so my schedule is free all day every day for your pet!! When I am back in school, I will only have classes on 2-3 days a week, for a certain time, and I still will be able to walk or drop - in on pets in between or after classes!! I will not be accepting pets at my home, as I have a dog who cannot be around other pets. But I am willing and able to drop- in at clients homes , or pick up the dog for a walk, or to the park to expend some energy. If we are in the home, we can play outside in the back, play with toys, or maybe do some enrichment with some puzzles/ other tools.

About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

About: Hi, I’m Tim and I have been raising dogs since I can remember as a child. Having Boxers, Pitbulls, Beagles, Blue Tick Hounds, Rottweilers, Great Danes and many other breeds has given me a lot of understanding and communication skills with animals. I love being around animals and taking care of them, there is nothing more fulfilling than working with animals. Your fur babies will always be treated as my own. I currently board and dog sit full time so you do not need to worry about your fur babies being left alone for hours on end under my care. I have a large fenced yard and 2 extremely friendly and loving Great Danes who would absolutely love the company of your babies. I can adjust to any specific needs your pup requires.

As of October 2026, there are 5,813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elk Plain. 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 Elk Plain. 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 Elk Plain 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 .

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
