“Brittany was highly professional and so excited to walk my dog. Duchess was so tuckered out after she promptly laid down for a nap! 10/10 would highly recommend. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hello! I love animals so much! I have had dogs and cats all my life. I also have had rodents, reptiles and other animals as pets. You can say that my childhood was living in a zoo lol I have experience taking care of other people's pets and watching their houses while they are away. I like taking walks and will take your dogs with me. I love playing with cats and dogs and spending time with them. I also work part time with exotic animals currently and have a bachelors degree in Wildlife Ecology. I am a very trustworthy and caring person and am punctual and flexible. I clean up after myself and will treat your home and your pets with respect while being there and with them.

About: I can’t wait to meet your pet family! With nearly a decade of experience working in veterinary medicine and more than three decades of pet caretaking/ownership, I offer worry-free skilled and routine pet caretaking services in your home. I have a background in fear-free techniques that help me to understand and work with fearful and high-anxiety pets. I have been employed at clinics, mixed practices, and a veterinary referral/emergency hospital. *I carry a pet first aid kit at all times.* My clinical background as a veterinary assistant/receptionist includes animal handling and restraint, administering medications and injections (such as insulin and fluids), caring for hospitalized patients and providing treatments, assisting doctors with diagnostics, and educating/communicating with clients. This experience in both traditional and exotic veterinary medicine translates to exceptional care for all species of companion animals. I am comfortable managing a wide range of medical conditions and administering medications, so you can feel confident about leaving your pet in compassionate, skillful hands. I earned the title “chihuahua whisperer” at work—a true badge of honor! As a dog-mom, I truly enjoy caring for animals. My pet family includes a special-needs tripod Boxer, Raegan, for whom I had a prosthetic leg designed; a long-coated Chihuahua, Joie; and a merle chihuahua, Cookie. My affinity for companion animals began early on. As a child, I would bring home stray dogs and cats, and I kept exotic pets including rabbits, hermit crabs, hamsters, mice, lizards, frogs, and fish. During high school, I received academic credit for interning at a veterinary clinic. As a Yooper (Upper Michigan native), I had the opportunity to work with multiple sled dog teams, which proved to be very enlightening experiences! The most interesting animal-caretaking experience I have had is providing critical care to a newborn alpaca named Mittens and helping the farm owner tube-feed this special-needs baby while she was out of town (he was eventually able to stand on his own and nurse!). A major component of pet caretaking is communication. With a bachelor’s degree in scientific and technical communication from Michigan Tech, I have studied the art and science of communication. I am available to provide services in your home during the day or in the evening. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to accommodate requests for boarding in my home. Safety is paramount: I will ensure your pet's safety while caring for their needs. I also understand the level of trust required to allow a sitter into your home and provide utmost respect for your property and privacy. I would be happy to provide comprehensive companion animal care, including routine caretaking & providing companionship/giving cuddles, administering meds, exercise, and any other aspect of animal care for any species.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats, during all the stages of their lives, for many years. I've had dogs of various breeds with serious health conditions that required nearly constant monitoring, complex medication management, and frequent vet involvement. I have taken care of puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats, and pets at all stages in between. Providing loving care for pets has been a major focus of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom, so pet care pretty much is my routine! And since my husband works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry poopsies too 😊 I have two young adult standard poodles and a mini poodle puppy. They, like all of our dogs before them, live in our house as members of our family. They are crate trained and know basic commands for safety, but when they're not playing outside or on a walk, they can mostly be found lounging on couches or beds (mostly ours, sometimes theirs). I've also been a dedicated sitter for my sister's cats for almost 20 years. I've cared for kittens to seniors in that time, and seen to all their needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind at a veterinary clinic. My duties included taking them outside to use the restroom, clean their cages and giving them baths. I have also watch my neighbors pets since I was 15. My duties included letting the animals out, feeding them breakfast and dinner and taking them on walks. I am available at anytime of the week. I typically work nights. My schedule is very flexible so I can leave work for a couple hours at a time to check in with your pets. I would follow instructions given to me about taking care of the animal and clean up when needed in a clients home. Some examples would be following written or verbal instructions.
About: I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and taken care of my 2 beautiful pitbulls while growing up and have 2 cats with my own family now. I absolutely love playing with any animal and I’d love the opportunity to meet new feline friends! I’m currently a stay at home mother so I’m free all the time. I can come to your home and walk your dog or watch your cat when needed, whether it’s a 1 time thing or weekly! I have 2 inside cats named Poco and Zuzi. They are brother and sister from the same litter and when they aren’t playing together, I run around the house with them and throw their toys around.
About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes. I have a few aquarium animals, no dogs or cats, but I also care for some of the animals next door quite often. We have small children if your pet is tolerable of them and crating is optional per your request.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 205 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ellis. 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 Ellis. 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 Ellis 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.

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.
