About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.

About: I love all animals and have fostered for the local Humane Society for the last couple of years. I am drawn to all animals regardless of type, size or breed. Sometimes the more unique the better but there’s something special about every pet. I work remotely so my schedule allows flexibility that is conducive to pet sitting. I am available 7 days a week. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings as well. I work remotely and love getting out for walks. I have a flexible schedule but I also know how hard it can be to entrust someone with your fur babies so I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
About: I’ve taken care of senior cats that need lots of care like hand feeding or needing help with litter box. I’ve walked lots of different dogs. I have a 2yr old female gentle potcake. I will be walking your dog with her. I like to take dogs off leash for runs. I’m self employed and work from home here in Walpole. The highlight of my day is walking my neighbors dogs. It would be easy to fit other dogs into my walks or stop by to check in your cat or dog. I’m reliable, kind, generous and trustworthy. I would care for your pet with the same care I would provide my own. I’m not into forcing pets to do anything. Having their participation in any activity is a must.
About: I have worked as a recurring dog sitter for several families over the past five years, each with a different breed of dog (Weimaraner, Schnauzer, Dachshund). This has equipped me with the specific tools and knowledge to provide exceptional care grounded in experience. Additionally, working with a wide range of breeds has afforded me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the varying behaviors and needs of different dogs. I deferred law school for one year to work on my creative writing. As a result, my schedule is very flexible and conducive to working around your family's unique pet care needs. I take pet health and safety vary seriously, practicing the same standards I use personally to keep my own pets safe. For me, this means maintaining a clean and tidy environment free from any potential hazards (e.g., not leaving chocolate at a level a dog could reasonably reach; making sure gates and doors are closed). In addition to maintaining a safe environment, I try to be emotionally tuned in to the animal I am watching. For instance, when the Weimaraner I watch gets anxious due to people walking past the house, I talk to her in a soft voice and pet her until she calms down. If I zip to the store, I will close the blinds so she is not in a position to be triggered by this stimulus.
“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”

“Damien went above & beyond walking Louis for close to an hour and even hung out a bit upon their return. I know he cares for other people’s pets like his own!! Much appreciated.”

About: I’ve been a reliable source of pet care for friends and family, including midday potty breaks, walks, and check-ins. I provide consistent, attentive care you can count on! I work as a dental hygienist Monday–Thursday, and offer pet care Fridays through Sundays. My limited availability allows me to provide focused, reliable care on weekends. Pets in my home are always supervised in a calm, structured environment. I have one well-trained, timid dog. Due to an unfenced yard and nearby road, all outdoor time is on leash for safety.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8. I’ve fostered animals, and helped walk, feed, bathe, supply medicine (supplements and pills) to them for friends, family, etc for a little over 8 years now. I’m very experienced with younger dogs and can provide extensive walks / playtime for entertainment and engagement. I also love working with senior dogs as well, and can help provide a calm, stress free environment for them while their owner is away. I’m currently working part-time from home and have a very flexible schedule! I can do drop in visits, overnight stays, and even long weekends / weeks for vacations and getaways! Early mornings and late nights are no problem for me as well. I don’t mind cleaning up messes or puddles, and I can travel very flexibly if needed! I am OK helping with crate training, and providing a positive environment for any pup to grow in while their family is away! I have a fur baby of my own who is almost 4 years old, and absolutely adores other dogs! He is neutered, house trained, and very relaxed. He has been a very good role model for our youngest puppy in the house.

About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 3 1/2 years. I am experienced in giving oral and injectable medications. I love dogs and cats of any size! I currently work 3 1/2 days a week and I’m doing pet care on my days off. I love spending my time meeting and taking care of new pets! I treat every pet like they are my own. I always send updates to the pet parents throughout my visits so everyone can be stress free!
About: Throughout my whole life there have been multiple dogs in my family. I have had my own dog before, and trained her from eight weeks old. Also, I have dog/house sat for dogs of friends and family over the years! I work in the schools so I am looking to pick up a side hustle while on summer break! I’m looking forward to a flexible schedule that incorporates my love for dogs and walking, it’s a two for one! I am very flexible and will do whatever you and your dog needs to be happy and healthy! I know what it is like to have a fur baby so I get what it’s like to do the best for them:) I am also an active person so I am able to meet the variety of needs for any dog!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran an animal rescue, and I was fortunate to spend my childhood helping care for, socialize, and train animals of all kinds; primarily dogs and cats. This experience taught me not only how to understand animal behavior, but also the patience, compassion, and consistency that every pet deserves. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. As a pet sitter and walker, I treat every animal as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and well-being my top priorities. You can expect reliable communication, attentive care, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need an extra helping hand. Experience Highlights * Raised in a family-run animal rescue environment * Experience caring for and handling dogs and cats of all ages * Familiar with basic training and positive reinforcement techniques * Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets * Patient, gentle, and attentive to individual needs * Reliable communication and dependable care As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.

About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about the precious pets needs for me. I provide 5 star service and have a flexible schedule to meet your and your four legged friends needs! I don’t have a furry friend of my own but I love the opportunity to give a little love to all the pets I meet. Any dog big or small is awesome in my book. My aim is to make them happy and your life a bit easier! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to spend time with your wonderful pets! I currently work a 9 to 5 remote job and have plenty of flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I can house sit or do drop ins as needed with my schedule. I am the happiest when I am around dogs and enjoy playing with them! I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for over 8 years. I have access to trails in my backyard and live and work in a dog friendly area. I love meeting new friends and having fun adventures around our gorgeous town.
About: I've taken care of my and other's dogs and animals since age 10. I am a sizeable male who can handle larger breeds of dogs with pulling issues etc. From tall to small I teach for all. I care for my three dogs and daughter's cat 7 days a week, including feeding, medicating, providing mental and physical stimulation (play and training). I take my dogs out multiple times a day while home. We play together often and work on some type of training for at least fifteen minutes a day.
“Megan was super-enthusiastic, clear, and interested in having the best possible interactions and relationship with Boo. At every step, I was reassured by her approach and the way things went. In my experience, you are in good hands when you entrust your pet to Megan, and in my case that adds up to peace of mind when it just wasn’t possible to be there myself.”

“Samantha was wonderful with Edith and gave us great updates about their walks together. She was thorough and considerate and we will definitely rebook with her when we’re back in the area. Thank you very much, Samantha!”

“Haley is absolutely wonderful! She is great at communicating things ahead of time and is very flexible if there’s a last minute change in the weekly schedule. My dog absolutely loves when it’s a “Haley walk day”. Absolutely recommend her!”

About: Ive been taking care of pets since high-school, from great danes to kitties! Including but not limited to great-danes, pitbulls, hounds, labs and kitties! I am good with animals of all temperaments, from timid and not sure to excited to see anything! I love all animals and would love to help with all your pet and house needs. I am currently part time and can work around your schedule as well. I already get up to take care of my hound, pitbull and kitties. I would love to help you out as well! I love animals and have experience with the animals that also make a mess. I change litter boxes and I can even clean up after the ones who can't always hold it. I feed, and give fresh water. I walk dogs and also have experience with pulling. I can also just let them out if trained to do so and hangout with them as needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 316 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gilsum. 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 Gilsum. 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 Gilsum.
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 Gilsum. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
