“Alejandra was awesome! She took care of my dog and cats on short notice. She is professional and thorough. Alejandra communicated well and provided updates for every visit. I would highly recommend requesting her services. 10/10 experience!”


About: I've been caring for pets all my life, I've cared for rabbits, adopted cats, wild cats and every dog we've ever owned from pitbull puppies to overgrown boxers with a bad attitude towards all strangers! I'm currently unemployed from my first job and I enjoy staying home caring for our dog day and night! I will be 21 in July look forward to meeting other pets! I take our pittbull out for a potty break at least every hour if she wants, I get her fresh food for breakfast and fresh water, and as long as the weather isn't too cold, hot or rainy we walk! Sometimes around a couple blocks and other times around the park or neighborhood! We make sure she is bathed often and love and cuddles as much as she can handle!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.
About: I've been in the animal field for 25 years and in the veterinary specific field for almost 20. I have a special interest in senior or special needs kitties and can easily administer medications and subcutaneous fluids. I'm patient and flexible and work well with owners to provide specific care needs for your critter companions and family members. I work full time currently at a veterinary clinic but am available early mornings, evenings, and afternoons when not scheduled. Available most weekends and holidays as well. I am patient and understanding of all varieties of animals, but have a special bond with feline companions. I work well with even the spiciest or scared kitties to make them comfortable and safe while in my care.
About: Pet guardian since birth. Animal care professional for over 10 years. I know that pets aren't just animals they are family! With a decade of experience with many animal species as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and shelter medicine, I offer a level of expertise that goes beyond a standard pet sitter. My background allows me to recognize subtle signs of illness or distress, administer medications, and provide animal first aid with confidence. I've also worked in boarding and training facilities and understand that many pets don’t thrive in that high stress environment. Whether your dog is a puppy, high energy, senior, timid, or exhibits reactive/aggressive behaviors, I provide a patient, low stress environment tailored to their specific needs and personality. My biggest goal is to provide the top notch care they deserve and give you total peace of mind while you're away. While I specialize in dogs, I am experienced with and more than happy to care for cats, reptiles, rodents, farm animals and more. If you have any questions about my background or specific needs for your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My entire daily routine revolves around the animals. Their meal times and potty schedules direct my whole day. My own dogs are my personal alarm clock and make sure to remind me when it's time to eat and for walks. I aim to keep routines as normal as possible. Even with fenced in yards, I go out with them and make sure everyone stays out of trouble ( no digging, chewing plants, etc), dogs are NEVER walked off leash, all dogs eat with supervision and can be separated if necessary, I will also crate if necessary if leaving the home or at night by owner request.
About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol
About: I have many years of animal care experience. I have worked at animal boarding facilities as well as humane shelters. I also volunteer at the local zoo and animal shelter. I am going to school to be a veterinarian. I currently work a veterinary hospital as well a veterinary ER. I would love to spend time with your pets! I am working full time and doing school online. so I will make plenty of time for your pets needs and am willing to be flexible I have three cats currently. When I go home for visits I also have two dogs that I help care for. I am comfortable with a wide variety of pets you may have!

About: I know first hand how important a pet is. They are not just a pet they are part of the family. I will make sure that the love, attention and affection lasts even when you are away. I have a huge love for animals and knowing I’m helping give your fur baby the love they deserve while keeping them out of the a stressful boarding environment makes me very happy! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off work. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and every other Saturday. My fiancé is amazing and more than willing to help me care for your pet if needed. He is as much an animal lover as me. I have had dogs all of my life so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for them. I am signing up for my dog training certification as well to help further my knowledge on dog behavior. My dream is to work with animals and this is the perfect opportunity. I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. I am flexible on my days off. However, If your home is close enough to my work I can always do a drop in during my lunch break to check on your pet and let them out to potty and play. I always try to stick to the closest routine your pet is used to as possible to help reduce any stress and anxiety that your pet may experience while you are away.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs so I have a special place in heart for them. I have grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them my whole life. I have cared for many types of dogs in a professional setting for the last 4 years so I know the struggles and also the joys of caring for pets. Friends, family and clients have trusted me to feed, water, play, walk, medicate, and take full care of their pets whatever their needs my be. But, more than that, they have trusted me to take care of their homes by bringing in the mail and packages, staying at night, and cleaning their homes and up after the pets. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a part time student which allows me to have much flexibility in my schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I care for pets in my clients home by doing any and all care my client enlists me to do. I take joy in every dog sitting job that I do and just absolutely love every minute of it. I take precautions by meeting the family and pets before agreeing to dogsit to ensure it would be a good fit the both of us. I always make sure I have up to date contact information for the client and their vet. Every dog sitting job is different but I would say an average day would look like letting the dogs out first thing in the morning and refilling water and the food bowl if necessary. Then, I'll take them for a walk and play with them, let them outside midday, play with them some more, give them a few treats to see what kind of tricks they can do, probably lots of belly rubs in between, and then feed them dinner and water. Lastly, I would take them outside right before we go to bed.
About: Hi! I’m Kiara, and I have over 4 years of experience walking and caring for pets of all kinds. I’m passionate about providing reliable, attentive care and making sure each animal’s routine, exercise, and comfort needs are met. I prioritize safety, follow any instructions from owners closely, and create a calm, comfortable environment so pets feel secure while you’re away. I am currently working full time 8am-5pm in Elkhart on weekdays, but I am happy to provide care whenever is possible especially overnight and on weekends! I prioritize safety and trust in every interaction. My home (or the space where I care for pets) is secure and free of hazards, and I always supervise pets closely. I follow any routines or instructions owners provide, including feeding, exercise, and behavior guidelines. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Have experience with caring for multiple pets at once, including puppies, elderly cats & dogs, & diabetic pets. Would love to help take care of your family members! I WFH and set my own schedule, so I'm very flexible in regards to my house sitting availability! As for walking, mostly available during the week but can negotiate for weekends in certain cases. I do not pet sit in my own home because I have cats of my own, but have a lot of experience house/pet sitting in clients homes and can provide references.
About: *Please read everything first* Hi y'all !! Thanks for checking me out! So first off love animals lol All of them. So I'm reliable enough to stay at your house if needed so I can provide the best care for your Fur babies. I'm comfortable with all ages of dogs and cats. Guinea pigs, Hamsters, bunnies. If your dog is timid or maybe fear bites I'm patient. I'll do whatever I have to to keep your pets environment as it is when you guys are home. I adapt to the dogs vibe and I follow special directions well for those special ones on special diets. I know how to do things like bathe, brush teeth, clean ears, give medications , etc. I love all animals and I would looove to help take care of your fur babies. Animals are something that I take very serious. I've had pups and kitties of my own almost my whole life and I've had bunnies and guinea pigs. I've also dog sat before. Animals mean a very great deal to me and you really wouldn't go wrong with hiring me. Let's meet so you can learn more about me and get a more clear schedule set up. You can't let just anyone watch your babies!! *PLEASE READ* For dog owners* I am probably best for you on the weekends. I work all hours of the day during the week and can't make any guarantees I'll be off at certain time to let dogs out. All of my care would have to be in the afternoon/nights/early mornings. I'm free all weekends. For cat owners- since cats don't need to be let out multiple times a day, I am good for you. I will be there too feed twice a day and clean litter boxes. At this current moment I do not have my own place therefore I will not be boarding any animals with me. All care will have to be in home stay or check ins.

About: Hi there! I’m Brian, and along with my 17-year-old daughter Natalie, we’re a dog-loving duo offering reliable, affectionate care for your pets. We share our home with our sweet English Pointer, Cassie, and four cats, Luna, Willow, and Evie, and bring over two decades of pet experience to every walk, visit, or stay. I’ve had dogs and cats for 24 years, including two other English Pointers, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Natalie and I are both gentle, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, calm companionship, or just a little extra TLC, we’re here to help. We are happy to do meet-and-greets ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable.

I care for my dog, Cassie, who is an active English Pointer, by taking her to the dog park, spending time on the couch with her, and giving her lots of love. Natalie cares for her cats by making sure they are stimulated and have lots of treats.

This was our first time using Alejandra and I can confidently say this will not be our last. She is prompt to respond to requests and provided great communication throughout her visit with your pet.

Thank you for caring for our puppy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Elkhart on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 383 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elkhart. 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 Elkhart. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Elkhart.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Elkhart. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
