About: Hi! I’m Esme, a huge animal lover and proud pet parent. I have a Mini American Shepherd named Kita, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. While I adore dogs, I’m also a big cat lover! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, chasing toys, or simply having someone keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to get to know them. From energetic pups to shy kitties, my goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and become their new bestie! 🐾💕 Animals are already a huge part of my life! As a dog mom to my Mini American Shepherd, Kita, pet care is built into my daily routine. My days are filled with walks, playtime, training, and lots of cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like work and more like something I enjoy. Whether it’s a dog who loves adventure or a cat who just wants a quiet companion, I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routines they’re familiar with, so I always try to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. Some pets love long walks and play sessions, while others prefer cuddles on the couch or a quiet companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Steve is flexible and takes such good care of our puppy!! He is also amazing at communicating! We feel very fortunate to have found someone so trustworthy.”
About: We will look after older dogs. We take care of 1 dog at a time, so that they do not have to be in competition with anyone else. Retired person, so I have time to spend with your pet. I take walks during the day, so I hope your dog is willing to go with me. I do walk at a slower pace, no running (old knees) I have a large fenced-in backyard, and we live near many walking trails. I will be happy to spend time with your dog and keep it safe and secure
About: My experience caring for dogs began when I was 11 years old, helping foster dogs and learning how to meet the unique needs of pets from different backgrounds and temperaments. Over the years, I have regularly cared for friends' and family members' dogs during week-long stays, providing attentive care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection while their owners were away. In addition, my experience working in a veterinary office has given me valuable knowledge of animal health, behavior, and safety. This combination of hands-on pet care and professional veterinary experience allows me to provide reliable, compassionate care and ensure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day! I work part-time, so I have lots of availability for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I'm completely free all day Tuesday through Friday, making those days perfect for dog walking, daycare, or extended care needs. For overnight boarding, I'm home every night to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I love spending time with animals and am happy to provide the companionship, exercise, and attention they deserve while you're away! Your dog will feel right at home when staying with us! We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers having their own space, I am happy to accommodate crating based on your preferences and your pet's routine. One of the best parts of staying in our home is that there are four family members who love animals and are happy to provide extra attention, companionship, and affection. Even if I need to step out for a short time, your dog will still have plenty of company and care. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where every dog feels loved and welcomed like part of the family!
About: At 27 years old, I've had experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from rambunctious puppies who need lots of patience and playtime, to energetic large breeds, to sweet senior dogs who require a little extra care and comfort. I know that every dog is unique, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or simply wants a cozy companion to relax with, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'd love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, fun, and caring experience. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Meet and Greets before booking a service are welcome! ☺️ As a flight attendant, my schedule varies from week to week, but I often have multiple consecutive days off that allow me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you'll always see my current availability. When I commit to a booking, you can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of attention for your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn about each dog's routine, personality, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs before their stay. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care requirements.
“We were very happy with our 1st experiance with Christy from Rover.com. We had piece of mind that our Rusty was getting his daily exercise while staying at grandmas while we were on vacation. Christy set times every day with my mother and she sent us pictures and updates daily. I would highly recommend her for her professional yet warm manner with my dog and my mother who was happy for the extra help.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile for many many years! I would be honored to get the opportunity to care for your pets and any unique needs they might have. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pets in any ways you might need! Every pet is unique and I would be honored to learn the best ways to love your pets! I have a fenced yard and a spacious home if needed! I have one cat right now, he is very friendly and loves meeting new people and other pets but he can be separated if needed!
“Polina is more than a walker to my dog Zoro, she gives him attention and love. I hired her multiple days while out of town and definitely gonna hire her again!”
“Ion took such great care of our dog Eevie and gave great updates! She can be kind of a nervous dog but she got comfortable with him right away. We'll definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Ion!”
“Blake has been tremendous! Parker is absolutely LOVING the walks he takes her on and he has shown so much care for her and it has helped me and her out so much! 10/10 would recommend for you and your pooch!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Kita. When my dog came back home after her walk, you could tell that she had been well taken care of and had a blast. Ashley was quick to respond to my request and was able to be super flexible and communicative. I definitely recommend Ashley to anyone :)”

“Jonathan is the first person who I have felt really comfortable leaving Parker with for long periods of time. His gentle nature is exactly what the Parker pup needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from walking neighborhood dogs a few times a week to helping with a family doggy daycare where dogs stayed with us for weeks at a time. I also have a sweet Shih Tzu named Oakley, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention pets need every single day. I’ve cared for puppies full of energy, older pets who need a little extra gentleness, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family — because I truly believe all pets deserve the same kind of love and care that we humans do. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. 💗 I currently work full-time, but I always have time before and after work on weekdays to stop by and spend time with your pet! On weekends, my schedule is very open and flexible — perfect for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Whether it’s weekday mornings, evenings, or a weekend adventure, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and love they need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well taken care of. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times to walks to play — so they feel right at home, even while you’re away. I have experience with both dogs and cats — from energetic puppies and playful kittens to gentle seniors who need extra patience. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time on the couch, or making sure litter boxes and feeding schedules are on track, I give each pet the attention they deserve. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family and cared for with the same love I give my own dog, Oakley.
About: I lived with pets growing up...dogs, cats, reptiles, horses. I am very active, and will play or run with your animal for hours! I am licensed to administer medication to humans, and have volunteered with wild animal rescues, so I can care for sick animals too. I choose the hours I work at my job, allowing me to pick up a shift at any hour and remain flexible with last-minute changes. I won’t be boarding at my home, but I have reliable transportation and wouldn’t mind taking your dog to a dog park or nearby hiking trail. Otherwise, let me know what you and your animal feel most comfortable with! I will always respect your wishes. :) I can be flexible, if you communicate your needs with me! ;) Message me to schedule a public meeting place and time so I can get to know you and your dog, then leave from there if it feels right. I only meet in public spaces. :) You can get to know me and how I will vibe with your dog or cat before we hit the trails.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes- I currently have my own boxer and two cats! I have experience with training as I’ve trained two service dogs. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets during day trips, weekend trips, and week long trips. My own dog has a special diet and has had medical issues requiring medication so I have experience with those types of needs as well. I am very aware of the needs each animal has and I pride myself on ensuring every animal has the best and most specialized care. My work schedule is fairly flexible and I have varying availability most days. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any scheduling questions! If I’m coming into your home, I will make sure to spend plenty of one on one time with your family member and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention! My schedule is fairly flexible right now and I update the calendar regularly so my availability should all be accurate. I work in healthcare, but primarily do home health so I am already frequently driving around and can make schedule adjustments as needed! I ensure that all questions are answered prior to watching any animals to make certain that all needs are met and any safety concerns are addressed. I also make sure to send frequent updates so you are aware that your pet is being taken care of in the best way possible!
“Antonia is WONDERFUL with my lil old man! She takes him for walks over a mile each time... this past time it was freezing and snowing. It did not stop her- I was so grateful. So was Buster :-)”
About: I have cared for animals from hedgehogs to cats, dogs to fish, even chickens. I have helped raise puppies and kittens to at least 17yrs in age. Through this, I’ve cared for pets in all stages of life, including elderly and aging animals requiring daily administering of meds, and helping one of my pets relearn life as she has recently lost her sight. I understand the patience and care needed throughout the different stages of life, and truly strive to care for your pets as my own. Currently, my schedule is very flexible. I work part time as a private chef and can easily move things around. I am able to accept bookings in the morning, afternoons, or evenings. I do not care for clients pets in my own home, as I have too many of my own pets, including older ones with varying needs. In my clients home, I make sure to follow instructions and create a safe environment for their pets and care for them as if they were my own.

I have nothing but good things to say about Ion. Right away during the initial interaction our dog Dulce, who is normally timid with new people, immediately trusted him and felt comfortable around him. He showed up at the agreed times and took her on her walks and provided plenty of updates and photos and accommodated any requests. Would highly recommend Ion if you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like his own.
We are going to miss Talia! She has been so good to Willow. She came in last minute to help me walk her, she has been so flexible and very communicative! She sends pictures during walks, takes time to make sure Willow was settled in after each walk! We wish you the best!
Katelyn has been walking our dog Amina for about two months now and has been fantastic. She is consistent, honest, amazing with Amina, patient and prepared! I'm so glad we decided to invest in her services to help us make sure Amina gets enough daily exercise!
Emilee has been absolutely wonderful with Chewie. From the very beginning, she has been kind, communicative, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to feel completely comfortable trusting someone with your dog, and I truly do with her. Also, Chewie loves her!! She treats Chewie like he’s her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I’m so grateful we found her and hope to work with her for a long time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Gateway on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Gateway. 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 Gateway.

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 Gateway. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
