About: Hi! I’m Alexis; a very passionate pet lover with about 16 years of experience. I have taken care of animals since I was a child and have had all sorts of pets. I provide loving care for all types of pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. Your pet will be treated like family while you’re away, and you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands. I look forward to meeting your little (or big) companions soon! I’m a stay at home wife with no kids just my lovely doggy. Pet care fits perfectly into my everyday routine. I take care of my dog and take her out for walks daily. I wont be taking care of pets in my personal home besides my own dog. I don't mind going into clients homes and caring for their pets. I will do anything that the pets owner needs me to do for their pet.
“Sarah communicated efficiently and gracefully, treated our home and family with respect, and took excellent care of our beast. She is trustworthy and a fabulous dog walker. Highly recommend.”
“My older dog is SO skiddish and reactive and really takes a confident walker to get him warmed up! Melissa did amazing at engaging with him and giving him his space for him to warm up to her on the first 30 minute walk. Highly recommended”
About: My wife and I truly enjoy animals and are dedicated to ensuring they are well cared for. Proverbs 12:10 says, "The righteous care for the needs of their animals..." and we take this to heart. Aside from asking our dogs "who's a good boy?", we love engaging in playtime, fetch, and going for runs and hikes with them. Choose me for a pawsitively purrfect pet care experience where your pet's happiness and health are our utmost priority! I work as a team with my wife who is a homemaker, so we can adapt to meet most any schedule needs. I personally work a Monday - Thursday schedule, from 6am - 4pm. In our home, we offer a variety of secure and pet-friendly spaces. We have a small fenced area for safe outdoor play, a large kennel for cozy rest, and we have both a primary house and a mother-in-law house that can be used for pet care. Additionally, we have open acreage available for supervised exploration and exercise, providing plenty of space for pets to run and play. When caring for pets in client's homes, we follow their established routines and environments to ensure pets feel comfortable.

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 Elko. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Elko after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
