About: My soul belongs to cats, and my heart belongs to dogs! I've been around both my whole life, and now my husband and I live with our two dogs and two cats. I've also been rescuing and fostering cats since 2021 and started the same with dogs in 2026. My pets and fosters are my whole world, and it's my mission to provide that same level of dedication to my clients' fur babies! I know first-hand how challenging it can be to trust someone with your beloved pets. You worry about their safety, their health, their tender emotions, and how much they'll miss you. Once we meet, I hope I can assure you that my gentle and fun-loving nature, attention to detail, and skilled observations will leave your fur baby in great hands. I document everything when caring for animals so I can provide detailed updates after each check-in. This includes diet, bathroom breaks, and behavior. And trust me, not a single symptom or sign of stress goes unnoticed! We'll stay in touch for whatever you and your fur babies need. Even if only for peace of mind, asking for specific photos/videos, or making an adjustment to their care routine. :) My experience includes: •Cat behavior, confidence-building, & enrichment •Positive reinforcement training (cats & dogs) •Basic puppy care and training •Dog walking •Kitten care: newborns to juveniles •Senior care (cats & dogs) •Medication administration: topical, oral, and injections •Mild-moderate behavior care: shy/"spicey" cats, reactive dogs •Mild-moderate special needs: mobility challenges, illnesses, injury recovery •Detailed symptom documentation for rescue and veterinary care Being trusted to care for your fur babies is the highest honor! Let's connect so I can meet them and see if I'm the right fit for you. :) I'm currently self-employed part-time and set my own schedule, outside of rescue commitments. This means my schedule is flexible within reason, and I'm often available for multiple check-ins per day, if needed. Your home is your pet's safe space, and it's my job to keep it that way! I'll always stick to their routine, no matter how detailed. I'm a stickler for "door dasher" pets and animals who have a history of bolting, so I'll always put things in place to prevent it. Dogs will always be observed during yard potty breaks or taken on walks. And finally, all animals will be observed very closely during each check-in so you can stay as up-to-date as possible!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and fish as a child. I love all animals and would be more than happy to give someone peace of mind knowing their fur-baby is safe and well taken care of while you are away. I do work full time but am able to stop by 3-4 times a day or work with whatever schedule your pet needs. I am pretty flexible on what days or times are needed. I love animals and will make sure your pet is happy and taken care of when I visit. I will make sure food and clean water is readily available, litter boxes will be cleaned and trash taken out. Anything that they need will be available for them and kept clean. Treats will also be provided of course.

About: My family has always included at least one fur baby. When I moved out at 19, I became the proud owner of Russia, a hyper, sweet, spoiled Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador mix. After meeting my husband, she gained a brother, Chaos, a lazy, snuggly, wiggly brindle Cane Corso/English Bulldog mix. Last October we rescued Runner, a shy but loving and playful Husky. Last February we welcomed our most recent rescue, Germany, a spicy, diva Miniature Pincher. As a person with four fur babies of her own, I know that it is not always possible to take your fur babies with you. I am also familiar with the feelings of worry and guilt that are experienced when separated from them. For this reason, I make every effort to transform the pet's seperation into a staycation! I try to facilitate extra special experiences of love and quality time that in the past have included (when approved by the owner): Snuggles while watching a show Extra walk walks Car car rides to take walk walks in parks for a change of scenery Extra play time (especially ball ball and tug of war to wear them out!) Car car rides to the pet store to pick out a toy or treat Greeting them with a new toy or treat once a day Car car ride to a puppy play date Car car ride just for fun! And anything else the owner may suggest the furry friend may enjoy! :) I further take the time to send photos paired with a typed update each visit to the owners to ease the difficulty of being apart. I take care to follow any and all specifications communicated by the owner and always ask questions to clarify anything that I am uncertain of. I am excited to become friends with your fur baby! I work full time 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am able to spend quality time with furry friends before work, and after work with a check in over my hour lunch break if need be! I greet all animals with affectionate pets and usually with a treat (if allowed). Fresh, clean water will always be available. Food will be distributed and prepared per owner specifications. Treats will be given generously (with owner approval) in addition to pets and playtime. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement with animals. Each visit will have at least one walk. It is preferable that harnesses are available to use. If a collar is used, it should be "normal" (no shock collar or choker collar please). I am more than happy to being a harness along! Please let me know in advance. Each visit I will take photos to send with typed updates on how the furry friend is doing. I will discuss with the owner what is allowed and reccomened with the fur baby to make the experience more like a staycation :)

We don't allow dogs on furniture but cover the furniture for animals trained that way to reduce stress on trying to keep them down. In your home, routine is maintained and extra treats given, time outside is always encouraged for high energy and down time is enforced when bad behavior is being modified

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fort Shawnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Fort Shawnee. 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 , 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 Fort Shawnee 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
