About: I have experience with cats with health issues and giving medications. My 18 yr old has CKD and a few other issues he gets supplements for that keep him going. I have volunteered with cats at an animal shelter and helped with dog adoption events as a dog handler. My schedule is very open at the moment so I'm available for whatever is needed. I have 3 cats so I do need to be home several times a day to care for them. My cats are indoor only but I take my 18 year old out on a leash on walks around the yard, but he mostly prefers to be carried. I'm happy to take other cats on walks if they are harness trained, or just play with them indoors. Dogs I will walk of course and play with as needed.

About: Hi! I love animals and love meeting new animal friends! I am very detail oriented and love to spend time with animals whether that through training or simply just cuddling. I have taken care of all types of animals my whole life and I am honored to care for someone else’s fur baby! I have a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom and am able to offer care services from overnight stays to grooming and basic training. I hope to be your top choice for your pets care! I am currently a stay at home mom and I can offer 24/7 services! I am readily available for all breeds of dogs and cats and I also like to research different breeds to learn about how to care for everyone’s unique individual traits. I am able to carry animals as needed and I also have an SUV that can be used in cases of emergency. I am up early mornings and can adjust to your fur babies schedule as needed. I have a fenced in dog kennel that was built for my own dogs which has 1 access point to make sure there are no accidental breakouts. I have a rather large home that offers multiple places to house your pet because I know everyone has a different situation so we are very adaptable. I am able to follow a routine and instructions left by my clients in the event I am needed at their home address.
About: I am sometimes referred to as the crazy dog lady, and I proudly accept that title :) I have experience with caring for a pack of 6 of my own, while caring for others. Doing it in a way that each one of the dogs needs was met. With that many pups, I have a great deal of experience caring for pups who may have dog aggression, anxiety, excessive energy, and/or medical needs. Through experiencing some of these issues with my own dogs, I am confident that I can give you ease of mind by helping your pup with any of the above while theyre in my care. I have completed a dog behavior course and am a certified Level 1 Reiki practitioner. Meaning, while your pup is in my care I am able to recognize signals on how they are feeling, and am able to respond in ways that will help them to calm, and feel safe. I will ensure that your fur child will get a great amount of exercise, play, and love. Currently, I am working under a professional dog trainer to better learn how to care appropriately for your pups. I’m happy to help with some positive training as well, or follow the commands you’ve been using to make sure they have consistency. We’ll have a grand time. I look forward to meeting you and loving on your pup! Health & Happines! Brittany
“Samantha has been an absolute lifesaver! She walks my dog Cooper once a day during the week while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for someone more reliable. She is always consistent and right on time, which gives me total peace of mind. What really stands out is how attentive she is—she always lets me know if anything seems off with Cooper and keeps me updated after each walk. She’s also very responsive whenever I reach out, which I really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!”

Safety Notice for Meet & Greets For my safety, I want to let clients know that during meet & greets, either my father or boyfriend will accompany me. They will either remain in the car or join me inside, depending on the situation. This is a precaution I take to ensure that I feel secure during these initial meetings. For overnight house sitting bookings, my boyfriend may occasionally stay with me for safety and comfort reasons. I always respect clients’ homes, privacy, and pets, and I will communicate this beforehand. If this makes you uncomfortable, I completely understand and kindly ask that we discuss it before booking to avoid last-minute cancellations.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,942 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elwood. 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 Elwood. 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 Elwood.
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 Elwood. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
