About: ​I specialize in premium, detail-oriented care for dogs that need both a physical outlet and mental enrichment. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra grace, I tailor my approach to ensure they are tired, happy, and secure by the time you get home. ​Having managed the pulling power of large breeds and raised reactive, high-drive mixes, I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker. I bring a calm, highly disciplined, and observant approach to every visit. What truly sets me apart is my commitment to not just your pet's well-being, but your total peace of mind. ​My Special Skills & Premium Services Include: ​High-Drive & Large Breed Management: Confident, safe leash-handling and focused exercise for powerful working breeds and strong pullers. ​Behavioral Reinforcement: Utilizing consistent positive reinforcement, professional handling techniques, and keen observation of canine body language. ​Reactive Dog Handling: Creating safe, predictable, and low-stress environments for anxious or sensitive dogs. ​The "Extras" Standard: Going above and beyond with thorough post-visit clean-ups, basic maintenance brushing, and exceptional respect for your home. ​Unmatched Communication: Providing highly detailed updates and quality photos so you never have to guess how your pet's day is going. ​I am dedicated to building long-term bonds and am currently prioritizing clients looking for reliable, recurring weekly walks and drop-ins. ​Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my full-time profession! As the owner and operator of A&A Professional Pet Care, my entire week is built around providing exceptional, highly reliable care for your pets. ​Here is how my schedule works to serve you and your pets: ​Consistent, Recurring Schedules: My primary focus is establishing reliable, weekly routines for walks and drop-ins. I want to become a consistent, trusted fixture in your dog's week, giving busy professionals total peace of mind. ​Dedicated Midday Care (9 AM - 5 PM): I am available Monday through Friday to provide the perfect midday break. Whether your dog needs an engaging walk, a structured drop-in, or focused mental enrichment while you work, I have you covered. ​Select Weekend Coverage: I offer weekend care on a rotating basis, providing trusted drop-in coverage for those busy Saturdays or quick weekend getaways. I do not offer overnight stays!!!! ​Whether I am taking your dog for an engaging walk, visiting for a midday drop-in, or providing in-home care, your pets and your property are treated with the highest level of respect. ​My approach to pet care combines physical exercise with targeted mental engagement. I love incorporating short, positive training sessions and enrichment games into our day to keep their minds sharp. They will get plenty of scheduled feedings and "tummy rub" downtime, but they will also get the structure and focused play they need to stay happy and appropriately tired out. ​When caring for pets in your home, my "extras" are standard. You can expect: ​Total Home Respect: I leave your home exactly as I found it—or cleaner! This includes thorough post-walk wipe-downs so muddy paws never track through your house. ​Premium Upkeep: I am happy to provide basic maintenance like brushing to keep your pet's coat looking great between grooming appointments. ​Complete Peace of Mind: You will never have to wonder how things are going. I provide comprehensive, highly detailed updates and quality photos after every single visit. ​Your dog won't just be watched; they will be active, engaged, and exceptionally well cared for.

About: I've had two toy poodles in my lifetime, and cared for friends' and family's puppies / dogs whenever they've offered. I've handled small, medium, and large dogs and feel comfortable with them all. Your biggest concern should be that your dog will be too spoiled while they're with me. I'm aware that some dogs may run off, and am alert to the sound of scurrying paws making a beeline for the road. I will be your dog's second best friend and caretaker and be sure to send you photos of our adventures! I volunteered for an NGO called Dogs on Deployment while I lived in San Diego, taking care of deployed military members' pets. Really, I have the biggest heart, will be responsible with your pet, and make sure that everything that you need to get done gets done. I’m currently working part time and I have a coaching practice, so I am pretty flexible with my scheduling. I can and have stayed overnight to take care of pets and I do it with joy. My cat is let outside pretty regularly so that he can get the mental stimulation that he needs as a Siamese. I’ve also leash trained him and he knows a few tricks, as I’m hoping to continue to trail train him to go on backpacking trips with me. He’s already been really receptive. As far as other people’s pets go, I obviously lead with what their pet routine is. I won’t push any of my own trainings on the style of pet ownership of the owner whose pet I’m caring for.

About: I've been dog obsessed since I was a kid! Unfortunately my three dogs have all passed away within the last two years and so now my husband and I are excited to welcome & work with your pet! While your dog is with me, he/she will be allowed to have free reign of my home as well as doggie door access to a large, fully fenced back yard. Dogs are free to sleep wherever they like- on the couch, floor, my bed- I treat them like they're my own. I also live within half a mile from a well maintained park and make trips there almost daily. While you're away I will keep you updated on your pet's activities in whatever way you prefer including email, text, or FaceTime (yes I know it might seem weird but I did this with my own dogs when I was away so I'd offer you the same). I do recommend a meet-and-greet prior to dog sitting. You would need to be present for this interaction. You must provide proper vaccinations. I require 100% honesty from you and I will be 100% honest and transparent as well. I will always treat your animal with the same respect and loving care that I gave my own animals. I'm currently available full-time to devote my attention to your pets between walking, cuddling or pet-sitting. I work from home and own my own business so pet-sitting is an easy fit. I have a large fenced-in yard and a doggie door. I am comfortable with crate-training puppies & helping them learn proper potty skills. I am also comfortable giving oral and injected medications for animals young and old depending on their medical needs.

“Kortney D. has been absolutely amazing with my dog, DECON. She is incredibly communicative and provides detailed updates about every walk, which gives me complete peace of mind. I always know exactly how DECON is doing and what transpired during their time together. Most importantly, DECON absolutely loves her! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. I highly recommend Kortney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker. She does a tremendous job, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for DECON!”

About: Animals have always been a special part of my life. Growing up, my family had several beloved dogs, and my love for animals continued into adulthood when I welcomed my first fur baby of my own, Ella Bella. Ella was my Yorkie Shih Tzu mix and truly my companion through every chapter of life. She traveled everywhere with me, shared countless adventures, and was deeply loved for 15 wonderful years before passing away last year. The bond we shared reminded me how much joy, comfort, and unconditional love animals bring into our lives. Now that I’m a mom, I’m excited to reconnect with animals while continuing to provide loving care for my little one. I’m a naturally nurturing, patient, and protective person who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, valued, and cared for like family. I’m an animal and nature lover at heart, and I enjoy creating fun, positive experiences through walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care. Whether your pet needs extra affection, an adventure outdoors, or simply someone dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would want for my own. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and the opportunity to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to caring for your fur babies. My days naturally include walks, outdoor adventures, and nurturing care, making pet care something that fits beautifully into my routine. I’m looking to build lasting relationships with wonderful clients who appreciate a family-friendly approach to pet care. With your approval, I would love the opportunity to bring my child along while providing care, while always making safety, comfort, and your pet’s well being my top priorities. I’m a very professional, dependable, and attentive caregiver who is passionate about animals. I’m grateful to find work that allows me to stay close to my child while doing something I truly love providing pets with companionship, exercise, affection, and the same care I would want for my own. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for every pet. I believe pets deserve the same patience, attention, and love they receive from their own families. I provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment with plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, walks, and enrichment. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I am a very present and attentive caregiver. When I’m caring for your pet, they are my priority, and I focus on being fully engaged with them rather than allowing unnecessary distractions. I believe quality care comes from being observant, patient, and truly present for the animals entrusted to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet by providing dependable, loving, and professional care that makes them feel safe, valued, and loved.

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover/owner and dog dad to Koda, my senior Lab. He’s mostly blind, diabetic, and still very much in charge of the household. Caring for him has given me hands on experience with insulin injections, blood sugar checks, medication routines, and the extra patience senior dogs sometimes need. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’ve used this app before and know how important it is to not only take care of your pet, but keep you updated along the way. Belly rubs included. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins visits, longer visits if needed, and keeping your pet company. Caring for my senior Lab, Koda, is already part of my daily routine, so I’m used to planning around meals, medications, and potty breaks. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet gets consistent care that fits their usual schedule. I care for pets in my home and in my clients homes by following their usual routines and providing dependable care. I have a flexible schedule for walks, visits, and companionship. Caring for my boy Koda is part of my daily routine, and is a major part of my life. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet comfortable and safe, and provide consistent care that fits their needs and schedule.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gober

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gober is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 642 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gober. 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 Gober. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Gober 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 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 Gober. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
