About: I will never miss a chance to take a dog on a walk to doing a simple task like pets on the head. Usually you'll find me playing with the cat or dog when I'm by myself with the animal because they keep me company. I have several years of experience with hyper dogs or dogs who are more active so I know I can keep up with those breeds like golden retrievers or huskies. If that doesnt work a more quiet and less hyper active breed of cat or dog is fine with me. I can kind of doing everything when taking care of animals. I've had animals of all ages and most recently on the older side. I have a full time job so my schedule is pretty much set, sometimes it can vary week to week. Outside of work I dont have much going on so my free time can go towards being a sitter. Always keeping an eye on them is key and depending on the breed can require more attention. I also have some knowledge in animal cpr.

About: I love all animals no matter what kind or size. Looking for anyway to be around animals more that can also help and benefit others. I have grown up with all kinds of animals big and small from dogs, cats, goats, guinea pigs and more. I have spent some weekend volunteering at animal shelter events and hope to do more stuff in that range. I work at a bank but am willing to animal sit immediately after work also on some holidays and weekends. I have no allergies or fear of any animal and am willing to sit for any breed or size. I have a medium size dog of my own who I love dearly, and she says I’m a great dog sitter too.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid, and I’ve always been the person who notices the animals before anything else. Growing up, I was the kid who would walk into someone’s home and greet their pets before I even said hello to the people. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have never been able to pass by an animal in need without wanting to help. That lifelong passion eventually became a career. I have 11 years of professional veterinary experience, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their behavior, needs, routines, and individual personalities. I’m also knowledgeable about many different species, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. More Than a Sitter With my veterinary background and lifelong experience around animals, I bring a level of awareness and attentiveness that I believe makes a real difference. I’m observant, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every animal entrusted to my care. Most importantly, I treat your pets like individuals—not just another booking. When you’re away, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your pets are being loved, cared for, and understood. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your babies and give them the kind of care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule, and am willing to work with you. As of the moment, I am mostly free and able to work any day of the week. Your Pet, Your Rules ❤️ I understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. You know your baby best, and I will respectfully follow your instructions, routines, preferences, and expectations for their care. Whether your pet needs a specific feeding schedule, extra patience, medication, a certain walking routine, or simply lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to them. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet. I want them to have such a positive experience that their time away from you feels more like a vacation than a separation.

“Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Golansville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,622 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Golansville. 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 Golansville. 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 Golansville 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 Golansville. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
