About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
“Ashley is wonderful! She is reliable, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. My dog, Lulu, absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she sees her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Lulu is in such caring and trustworthy hands. I also love that Lulu always comes home happy, fully exercised, and worn out — which is exactly what she needs! I’m so grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Lulu. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a wonderful, caring, and reliable dog walker or pet carer!”

“Elizabeth was a fantastic babysitter our big golden retriever pup while we were out of town. She was in constant contact with us, sent plenty of pictures and updates about their romps, meal breaks, water breaks etc. And she kept the house spotless. I will most definitely use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth!”

I appreciated the updates of how Freya was doing as well as the adorable pictures she sent! I will definitely recommend Julia to our friends and family and anyone in need of a reliable and professional pet sitter.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have owned cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fish, and even a bearded dragon. I have experience with house sitting, dog walking, and some boarding, and I've also volunteered at local animal rescues, walking and caring for dogs and cats. As a cat mom to Suki and Sherbert, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and deserves personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I've always believed animals have a great sense of character, and I love earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I am a full-time remote worker, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. If you're located nearby, I am available for frequent check-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime. If you're farther away, I can often spend my workday at your home, as long as there is internet access, so your pets can have extra companionship and care. I am also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I know that pets feel safest when their routines are maintained, so I prioritize following your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific care needs. I am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines, including crate-trained dogs, high-energy pets, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. I always make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and I treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own.

Pets are family, and I'd be honored to be trusted to enrich your pets life while we are together. I'm available to stay with your furry family members all day! I may love taking walks just as much as your dogs, and am very attentive. As an experienced pet sitter and animal lover, I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I always leave houses and spaces I visit cleaner than I found them, and am very respectful of your sanctuary- your home! Working from home allows me to dedicate special time and attention to your furry friend throughout the day. Whether I'm taking meetings or relaxing in the evening, your pet will always have company and care. Having worked at the Downtown Dog Lounge, I bring a wealth of experience in handling and understanding dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I'm experienced in walking dogs of all sizes and treat every pet as if they were my own. My passion for animals means I am committed to providing a nurturing and trustworthy environment where your pet can thrive. Rest assured, your pet will receive the highest level of care, love, and attention while staying with me.
“A punctual and reliable walker! We always feel at ease knowing Stacy is caring for our fuzzies. Really appreciate Stacy’s open line of communication and clarity about scheduling. Very reliable!”
“Great communication from start to finish. Took the time to meet my dogs despite only needing two walks. She clearly loves dogs. Walks were on time. Will totally recommend Stephanie.”
“Backkyoung has cared for my gaggle of cats and rambunctious dog now a couple of times and has taken great care of them! My house cat has complicated meds and my dog is a puller on walks and sensitive to strangers and Backkyoung has cared for them with ease, sending photos and asking questions whenever needed. Thank you Backkyoung and hopefully my crew will get to see you next time I am out of town !”

Message me and tell me about what you are looking for in a sitter and what kind of pet you have. I can't wait to hear from you Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work late nights (4 PM – 12 AM), which means I have plenty of time during the day to dedicate to walks, playtime, and quality care.

My flexible schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines, ensuring pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day.

I follow each pet’s routine closely—ensuring they get their usual meals, walks, playtime, and any special care they need.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Elmwood is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $2 and $19 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Elmwood. 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 Elmwood 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elmwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
