About: I have pet sit dogs of all sizes over the past 12 years. I am happy to walk your dog or play a game of fetch. I'm also happy to check in on them and spend some time giving belly rubs and cuddles when you can't. I work a flexible part time job. I have time weekdays mornings, afternoons, and evenings to drop in for a walk or give some love to your pet. I will come to your house for walks and play sessions. I can crate your dog when I leave if needed. I can be flexible if you have a special request.
“Stephen went above and beyond! Took great care of our dogs during some extreme heat, terrible thunderstorms and power outages. Great communication. So glad we hired Stephen.”
About: I had a dog from the age of 10 to 25 when she passed away. We have two boys who love animals. We had fun helping take care of my parents dog when they would travel. We would try to teach her new tricks. It gives us an excuse to get out of the house and take walks. I work full time until June 7th and then I’m home all summer. We have a small fenced in area and then a large common area behind our house. We live in a neighborhood where we take daily walks. We are always outside. Nick works from home on Fridays, but works 7 minutes away and can come home during lunch to check on the dog and take him/her for a walk. We are usually home between 2:00 and 3:00. Our weekends are pretty much free. Taking care of dogs easily fits into our family schedule. We try to spend as much time outside as possible, so we would bring the dog on our walks and runs. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we have a small fenced in area out back. We are in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood.
“Beth was amazing! She walked our dog every day for a week. She bonded with our dog, who is cautious and was hesitant to walk at first. Beth managed to get her to relax and go on nice walks every day.”
“Rachael has been doing a wonderful job with our dog. He has enjoyed all of his walks with her! She has consistently shown up on time and is quick to respond as well.”
“Makayla responded within minutes of us requesting a last minute walker for Archer. She communicated clearly and then showed up right on time. She gave me a couple of updates during the walk and then a clear summary as to how she left. We definitely recommend her and will be happy to request Makayla again soon!”
About: I love animals so much that we have four pets of our own. Two pomsky dogs and two cats. I have experience in walking, bathing and picking up after dogs. I am comfortable giving oral medicine to pets. I really look forward to taking care of your furrbaby and will take care of your pet as if they were my own ❤️ I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to look after your pets! I am able to take your dogs on long walks/ play or look after your cats. Everyday I make sure our animals are well taken care of. They are given fresh water and food and taken out for bathroom breaks in between their walk. Our cats are greatly loved and shown affection.
About: With 15 years of animal care, I know I can handle any assignment needed. I started dog sitting, long term, when I was 16 years old. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, whatever you need I’m here to do the job right. My schedule is fairly flexible, I drive school bus during the day to keep my little one with me. I wanted to supplement my income with doing what I love, spending time with animals. If the little one can not be around your pet I have short term child care when needed. If home visits are needed your home will always be left exactly as it is found. No matter the environment I am not here to judge. As long as you and your pet are happy all is well!
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. There were always multiple cats and dogs in my home growing up. My husband, three children (15,13,11) and myself love pets and have take care of family and friends' pets quite often, including bunnies and chickens! We had a large labradoodle with special needs in the past and currently have another large labradoodle. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes and with giving meds as needed. My kids are always up for a snuggle also! I am a homeschool, stay at home mom of 3. Now that my children are older and more independent my schedule is rather flexible. We are active and walk often and can do school anywhere! Sometimes it would be just me but at times my children (15,13,11) would accompany me as well. We have a fenced in dog run which is very secure. If I am coming to your home I will follow any and all guidelines you have to make sure your pet is safe and happy and loved while you are away.
“Kendall has been wonderful with my rescue pup who’s experiencing a lot of separation anxiety since we moved and I’ve been having to travel for work a few days a week. She’s very communicative and I can tell she takes great care of all the pets that are in her charge. I would highly recommend Kendall for your pet sitting/walking needs any time!”
“Brady was a great dog walker. He was always on time and very Flexible with changes. We will definitely be using him again! My pup lyla was always in good spirits and happy after her walks with Brady!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs in clients’ homes before and I’m an attentive, responsible caregiver. I also have a background resource many pet sitters don’t: my girlfriend is currently in vet school, so I can draw on real veterinary knowledge when it comes to medical questions, medication schedules, or health concerns — not just guesswork. I also have two dogs of my own, ages 10 and 8, so I’m well versed in the needs of both older, mellower dogs and animals with more specific care routines. Whether your dog needs a calm, predictable environment or just an active playmate, I’ve got it covered I run my own online business, Peptrova, a peptide company, so my schedule is largely self-directed and wide open compared to a typical 9-to-5. That means I can prioritize your pet’s care around your timeline rather than squeezing visits in around a rigid job — whether that’s flexibility for last-minute bookings, longer visits, or being consistently available throughout the day for check-ins. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spots to sleep. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs rather than treating every dog the same way. I also just genuinely have a lot of sympathy for animals — I notice when they’re anxious, uncomfortable, or acting off, and I take that seriously rather than brushing it aside. Combined with my girlfriend’s veterinary background, that means your pet is watched closely and cared for with real attentiveness, not just supervised.
About: I’ll probably remember your dog’s name before I remember yours. It’s nothing personal. I’ve had animals most of my life and currently have three dogs and a cat. I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, given medications, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. One of my own dogs is dog reactive, so I’m also used to watching body language, managing triggers, and giving dogs the space they need. Mostly, I just really love animals. I go to the National Dog Show every year and visit local shelters in my free time. I’m not allowed to foster anymore because that’s how I kept ending up with more pets of my own. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, so I’m often available for same-day or last-minute visits too. I know plans change, and I’m happy to help when I can. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. It’s easy for me to step away for a walk or drop-in, and I’m often available on short notice. Whether you’re stuck in a late meeting, heading out for date night, or just need someone to check in during a long day away, I can usually work a visit into my schedule. Plus, I’m always happy for an excuse to get away from my desk and hang out with an animal for a while. I’m big on safety and following your pet’s normal routine. One of my own dogs is reactive, so I’m used to paying attention to body language, managing separate spaces, checking doors and gates, and being aware of our surroundings on walks. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, crates, or just making sure a certain door stays closed. I know the little details matter, and I want your pet to feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: My family and I love animals and have toe dogs and two cats of our own. I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I’ve watched friends and neighbors pets at their homes and kept them at ours. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can walk during the day and before and after work as well. I am able to housesit too because I can work from anywhere. I have two friendly dogs and we have an underground electric fence. We can take them out on leashes or if comfortable with the electric fence we use that as well.
About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!
About: Active duty Army Soldier. I understand last minute things. Patience with pets, they are part of the family. Every dog is different. I can train any dog any size. I have 2 kids who love dogs they help me take care of the dogs. Private areas to separate dogs if needed. My dog is 12 and he is super chill he is more interested in humans than other dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fontaine
This was our first experience using the Rover service. So, as expected, we were somewhat anxious to leave our three year old lab for the day. Lisa was amazing. She stopped by earlier in the week to meet Tucker who is very friendly and lovable. It was also reassuring that Lisa was familiar with large dogs as she has a German Shepherd. We received a picture of Tucker during the day so we were at ease that he was in good hands. We even received a picture of one of our nosy cats! We will definitely request Lisa in the future.

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 Fontaine. 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 Fontaine.

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 Fontaine. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
