I follow instructions to a “T” and will provide top quality care for your pets.
About: Hi, I’m Kenzie! Rover is my solution to wanting a dog without actually bringing home another pet. Rover is my way of scratching the “I want a dog” itch without adopting another pet. 😅 I’ve had dogs my whole life and miss the walks, adventures, and companionship they bring. These days I’m a cat mom to two spoiled cats, so I get my dog fix by helping other pet parents. Whether your pup wants a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and affection. Reliable, patient, and communicative, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—and you’ll get lots of updates and photos along the way. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility for pet care throughout the week. My schedule varies, but mornings are typically my most available time. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it work! As a mom, pet owner, and counselor, I’m naturally attentive and dependable. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated every step of the way so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have 3! I have 2 dogs, Bailey and Gomez. Gomez is a special dog who is very reactive, which has allowed me to gain experience dealing with difficult dogs, especially on walks! I’ve been dog sitting/walking for friends and family for years and have worked with all shapes and sizes- loving every single one the same! I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and understand that each dog has its own needs based on their personalities and health. I promise to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve ☺️ I run a small business from home which allows me to have an open schedule for pet care in all varieties. This allows me to have availability to fit your schedule and needs! I will always follow instructions given to me by the pet owner, as each situation is as unique as the individual pet(s). Your fur babies will always be in a safe, caring, patient environment when in my care.
“Jason is phenomenal. This was the first time we have ever used a sitter in our home before. It was very nerve-wracking to have a stranger in our home taking care of Bella. Jason sent us pictures and told us exactly when he arrived and left which gave us peace of mind that Bella was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Jason again. I would recommend him especially if good communication and good pet care are things that you value. It is so comforting to know I have a vet tech in my home if ever something should go wrong.”

In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)

She leaves us the cutest pictures and keeps us updated on how he does on his walks. We are thrilled to have found someone consistent that we can trust who loves our pup!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 932 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elma. 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 Elma. 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 Elma.

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 Elma. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
