About: I raised my own dog and cared for her until she was 13 years old, which gave me invaluable, hands-on experience through every stage of a dog's life. Because of our long journey together, I am especially attuned to the gentle, patient care that senior dogs require, understanding their unique needs and comfort levels. I am excited to bring that same dedication, love, and attentive care to your furry family members, whether they are energetic puppies or relaxed seniors. My daily routine is highly structured and reliable, allowing me to easily incorporate dedicated time for pet care. I am an early riser who is committed to a daily fitness routine, making me a great fit for energetic morning walks or active play sessions. Whether it's sticking to a strict feeding schedule or ensuring your pet gets their daily exercise, my organized lifestyle means your pets will always receive consistent, on-time care. Safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a trail in my neighborhood great for your fur baby! Having raised my own dog through her senior years to age 13, I am deeply familiar with pet-proofing spaces, monitoring for hazards, and handling pets with gentle care. I love dogs and have grown up with dogs all my life! Our neighborhood has great paths for walks. Please bring their food, treats and a food bowl. Also, a leash, and a harness if needed, for walks. You are welcome to bring a dog bed, blanket, or anything that would help them feel comfortable.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been providing dedicated dog walking and pet care since 1998. Over the last two decades, I’ve worked with small, medium, and large breeds, giving me a deep understanding of the unique needs and energy levels across all sizes.Having personally owned a high-energy Blue Heeler and currently sharing my life with a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I am incredibly adaptable to different canine temperaments. Whether your pup is an intense, active working dog that needs a structured job, a gentle giant, or a sensitive soul who loves a slow, sniff-heavy stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific behavioral and physical requirements. Your dog's safety, happiness, and unique personality will always be my top priority! I care for my family daily, including my twin teenage daughters and an 8 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Chipper. I've been Chipper's primary caregiver since we brought him home as a 10 week old puppy, and he's the center of attention and love here in our home. He's fed twice daily, given treats twice daily, walked every morning, and played with and snuggled multiple times a day! I have a fully fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood with my elderly, sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It's a lovely, calm, inviting environment for everyone.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey! I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up on 20 acres, I was surrounded by animals and learned early that pets are family. Today I’m the proud dog mom of a German Shepherd and a Basenji, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. When you trust me with your pet, I treat them like one of my own.

I work in healthcare, where being dependable, responsible, and trustworthy is part of my everyday job. I understand how important it is to have someone you can rely on, and I’ll always care for your home and your pet with that same level of respect. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I especially enjoy active dogs and love playing fetch, going for walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the same love and care I’d want for my own! Hi! I’m Lindsey, a part-time dental hygienist and lifelong dog lover. On my days off, I offer dependable drop-in visits for busy pet parents. My schedule is typically available on Wednesdays and Thursdays, making me a great fit if your dog needs a midday potty break, playtime, fresh water, or a little extra love while you’re at work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: Though I have one year of experience caring for my own puppy, I grew up surrounded by my grandparents’ pets and understand the love, patience, and consistency animals need. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Since I’m not working at the moment, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. This allows me to be flexible with scheduling, give pets my full attention, and stick closely to their routines. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I can make pet care a natural part of my day. At my home, pets have plenty of safe space to play in my fenced yard, and I always keep a close eye on them around the pool to make sure they stay safe. I also enjoy taking dogs on leash walks to the nearby dog park so they can get fresh air, exercise, and social time. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family.

About: Hi! I’m a professional dog trainer with 6 years of hands-on animal experience. I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities, and I always focus on making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet like part of my own family. Whether I’m walking, training, or spending time with your dog, I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of love to every visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my work schedule around my Rover bookings so I have dedicated time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I always make sure pets are let out, walked, and fed on a consistent schedule, and I don’t accept more bookings than I can safely handle. When I’m at work or school, I plan check‑ins before and after, and I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends to give your pet plenty of attention. Your pet’s needs come first, and I build my day around keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and your pet’s safety is my top priority. As a dog trainer with 6 years of animal experience, I’m confident handling different breeds, energy levels, and behaviors, and I always use secure leashes, harnesses, and crates when needed. In my home, your dog will be in a clean, pet‑friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I also have a very friendly golden retriever who loves company and can be a great, gentle playmate for social dogs. I supervise pets at all times, introduce them slowly, and never put them in situations that feel unsafe or overwhelming. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s routine, and I’ll send updates and photos so you always know how your dog or cat is doing.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and can't imagine a home without one. I currently share mine with a Doberman and a German Shepherd/Husky mix, I've had both since they were puppies and raised them through every stage, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, energy level, or temperament, from calm lap dogs to high-energy pups. I've also taken care of friends' dogs over the years, so I'm used to adapting to different personalities and routines. I'm patient, active, and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's a gentle stroll or a long walk to burn off energy. No job is too big or too small. I love keeping owners involved so you can expect photo and video updates, quick responses, and a daily recap during walks or stays, along with the flexibility to chat before booking. My schedule is open, so I'm also available for last-minute bookings. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they are part of my own family. I don't just see this as another booking on my calendar, I see your pets as family members that deserve patience, attention and care. *Schedule* My weekly schedule is pretty flexible and open, which means I get to be present, whether that's a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company so they're not alone all day. I am able to adjust my routine to meet each pets specific needs. I love that I get to make dogs feel cared for, not just checked in on. *Safety* You can rest assured your pet will be treated just like my own. I believe in open, transparent communication and will keep you updated regularly on how they're doing while you're away. I'm attentive and careful, and I'll follow your pet's care exactly the way you want it, whether that means medications, exercise, or plenty of cuddle time. I'm committed to keeping their routine consistent, from feeding times to daily walks to playtime, because I know familiarity helps pets feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority, and my goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. Here is what I am offering (flexible on timing) 1. 30-minute dog walks: Perfect for burning off energy, getting some fresh air, and breaking up their day when you're busy or away. Great for a quick potty break, or an outdoor stretch. 2. Overnight dog sitting: I stay overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care, meals, playtime, and cuddles. 3. Meet-and-greet before booking: I'm always happy to meet you and your dog beforehand (in person or over video call) so you can see how we get along, ask any questions, and feel completely comfortable before your first booking.

About: I'm a very fun and courageous person who enjoys going for walks and exploring outdoors. I can make your dog love me, just give me 5 minutes and I’m your dogs new best friend. I am a wonderful listener, so just tell me what you need me to do and everything will be purrfect. Having 2+ years experience at a dog daycare center in the past, I am skilled to manage the highs and lows with all pets. My responsibility is to stay with your pup at your home through out my whole stay, I will be there to protect, love, and feed them while you are away. On top of that I will be your housekeeper, watching over your home and cleaning any messes your pup and I make. My schedule is pretty much free the whole time I’m with your pup, so when I’m with them they have my whole attention. I can also teach them a few tricks because I'm quite excellent at it and I do not take care of 2 different families at the same time. My focus is taking care of one family at a time throughout my stay. I'm usually free all day, so your dog and I can have relaxing or enjoyable days together. But if I ever need to run some errands, depending on what they are, your dog can accompany me in a car ride or stay in your home, where it’s safe. When I arrive at your place, I make every effort to earn your dog's trust and make them feel more at ease. Usually your dog should already recognize me from our meet and greet. But if we have met or not, the first thing I do is take your dog on a walk, just to ensure them that I’m their care taker while you are gone, that would 100% make them comfortable with me. When we return, that is when I start giving rubs, treats, and cuddles. (yes I allow your dogs to sleep on my bed, if you are okay with them on your furniture). I hope I am the perfect match for you and your pup, thanks for reading about me.

About: Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile! I have cared for pets my whole life and haven’t met an animal I don’t like! Currently I am only doing drop-in care and walks. I would love to walk your dog, or check in on your pets when you are unavailable or out of town. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages. When I do drop in care I don’t just feed them and let them out, I spend the entire time playing with your dog, petting them, and giving them love and attention. I always treat your dog like my own and will send you a detailed update with pictures of your pets. I've had dogs all my life and have dealt with special needs, elderly, sick and injured dogs. I am comfortable taking care of animals with special needs, administering medications, mobility issues, etc. I also have experience with cats, bunnies, bearded dragons, small lizards, hamsters, parrots, etc. I love dogs and look forward to each pup I get to meet and play with. I don’t work outside the home so I’m lucky enough to have the availability to work with you and your schedule in order to take care of your pup in the best way possible. I will meet with you prior to when service drop-ins start and we can discuss your dog’s care routine, your expectations and hopes for care. I typically stay in the main living area, kitchen and yard unless you would like me to check the house for accidents. I’m a stay at home mom and my kids are in school so I have a ton of flexibility when it comes to caring for your pets. I’m typically available between 7am and 10pm for pet care. In my experience, pets do best when kept to their normal schedule or routine so we can meet and discuss what they like best. With drop-in care I can feed them and walk them or feed them and let them out in your yard, whatever you prefer and will make your time away easiest for them.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’ve always been the one in the family to take care of all their needs and be the most loving. I’ve watched many friends dogs as well when they are out of town. Am a full time student and don’t have any other jobs besides Rover since school is my priority. Which is why I love how Rover easily can fit into my schedule. I will groom, feed, and play with every animal. I will clean litter boxes/ take dog out to potty or walks. I will make sure they are happy and satisfied while their owner is away and treat every animal like my own pet.

About: As a dog co-parent, I’ve taken care of my roommates dogs for many years. I’m always kind and gentle, and bring a calm presence while still being joyful, fun loving, and energetic for play time! I’m returning to school so I’m available mornings Monday and most evenings through Friday. Since school hasn’t started I’m free most days, just send me a message! I prefer to care for pets in their homes where they have full access to their toys, comfy couches, food and favorite spots near the window. I build in plenty of time for cuddles and play time and of course time walks!

About: I have experience with dogs through my family dog who I fostered first. I have volunteered at dog shelters in the past and assisted with adoption events and walking the dogs on site that day. I value exercise in my own life and believe in helping your dog get their activity in for the day. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and dog sitting let's me help others and gives my dog Charlie a chill mate for a short time. Charlie is friendly, chill with little spurts of energy. He is up to date on all of his shots. Most of my experience comes from being a dog mom. I am flexible yet firm with lots of love for your family member. I am here for you and your pet.

As of October 2026, there are 4,976 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Greatwood. 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 Greatwood. 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 Greatwood 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.

  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
