About: I have owned several pets in my life, dogs and cats. I have ample experience in caring for and raising said animals. I specifically have a cat currently, Autumn, who I found as a stray in the woods as a kitten and raised her to a healthy state. I am currently working a 4-10's schedule with flexible days. So long as I have two weeks in advance, any day should be okay. On those off days, I mostly stay at home, so your animals will receive plenty of care. I have two cats, of whom I take care of well. Each has their own litter box and I ensure both get a fair share of wet food while also ensuring they don't get overfed. I also ensure to play with them at least twice a day. I have an unfenced yard but am willing and able to walk the dog directly on a leash, my yard is large enough to walk them in the yard itself.

About: My services include walking, feeding, administering medicine including injections, cleaning pet areas and providing transportation when needed. I am prepared for emergencies, and I follow pre-discussed plans while communicating any concerns immediately. I have experience caring for a large number of animals, including horses, donkeys, pigs, goats chickens, reptiles, fish and domestic pets. No job is too big! I take care of houseplants, organic and hydroponic gardens. I am also a certified Reiki Practitioner (a form of alternative therapy) since 2011, and I am experienced with Reiki for large and small animals. My empathy and nurturing nature allow me to help pets feel comfortable and loved, offering you peace of mind. When I am not on a job as a home, pet and farm sitter, I volunteer at local animal shelters. I stay overnights as a pet sitter on weekends from Friday through Sunday nights only. I am available through the week for day sitting, drop-ins, pet walking and pet transportation. Caring for animals is more than just a job for me; it's a passion. With many years experience, I prioritize comfort and happiness, treating pets as my own while ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine.

Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

I take safety very seriously when it comes to both my own pets and the pets of others. It’s my number one priority to ensure that animals in my care have access to their needs, enrichment and safety!

About: I grew up on a farm raising cows, chickens and dogs. I also house sat and pet sat for family, friends and co-workers since I was 14. (Now 21) I love helping others and taking care of all kinds of animals no matter the breed, size or energy level. I work swing shift at Eastman, so I’m off half of the month. Taking care of pets would be a fun way for me to spend my free time doing something I love. I’m always gentle and loving with animals but I can be stern when I need to be. This would be in times related to safety of the pet or others around us. I make sure to always give animals the best care in my ability because they deserve the world.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I pay attention to them. As a dog owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and quirks. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Whether your pup needs playtime, companionship, structure, or just someone who understands them, I’ll care for them the way I’d want my own dogs cared for. Basic experience in some training. I’m available after 4 pm most days and all day on weekends. I’ll have more availability starting in July! If you’re interested, ask and I’ll see if I can accommodate! I care for every pet according to their individual needs and routine. In my clients’ homes, I work to keep things as normal as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and lots of companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while their family is away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, whether they’re in their own home or mine.

Rosalie does an amazing job walking our pups. They get so excited when she arrives! She also sends lots of pics and videos from the walk, which we really appreciate. Best of all, they get some much needed energy out so they’re less rowdy in the evenings when we get home from work!

About: I've taken care of pets my entire life. My neighbors and family trust Me to to walk, feed, and check on their pets while they're on vacation I am currently working only part-time hours, so I have plenty of time to love on and take proper care of your precious fur babies. I have a small fenced in backyard, and a small home, so in-house dog sitting is not a service I can offer at this time.

About: I've always loved taking care of my friends dogs and cats. I once pet sat my friends 2 dogs for a month, and we had a blast. my friends tend to call me a dog slut bc I want to love on any dog I see. But they deserve it!! My dog is my world, he's a rescue mutt, and he is a wild boy, but he makes me so happy. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible, I can bring my work to your home too, and stay with your dog for several hours/ days I always am very attentive with any dog I care for, and promise to treat it like my own. We will play, or just chill. Whatever your dog is feeling :)

About: I’ve raised one dog since he was a puppy. He is now almost 13, and another who’s now 6. I truly understand every stage of a dog’s life, from playful puppy energy to senior care and comfort. Over the years, I’ve also done off and on petsitting for neighbors, caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they always feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. My schedule varies weekly, so my availability may change. That said, I communicate promptly, confirm visits ahead of time, and make sure all pets are able to receive consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to all instructions closely, from feeding times to preferred walking routes. I always provide photo updates and check ins so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gate City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 333 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gate City. 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 Gate City. 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 Gate City.

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 Gate City. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
