“Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Megan has walked Petunia a couple times a week over the past month and has been great! Petunia always looks so happy in her Rover card photos and Megan is always very communicative and responsive.”
“AMAZING! Thats the only word I can think of to describe Linda. We were lucky to be able to work with her last minute. She is very flexible with booking, and extremely responsive. We look forward to having her continue to walk our dog as much as possible!”
“Thank you, Gavin. French Fry gave you two paws up. He's very responsible, very reliable, and very attuned to my dog's needs.

“Mary helped us out for a few days while we were away and I’m so happy we found her! I really felt like our dog was safe with her and that’s such a relief to have when you’re not home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’m a responsible 26 yr old and I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I’ve got over 5 years experience walking/sitting dogs. I’ve got 2 beautiful dogs, Storm & Groot, a silver lab & labordoodle so I know how important your 4 legged family members are to you. I know how important it is to provide high quality care for your dogs. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I try to make myself available 7 days a week and provide the love and care that all dogs need and deserve. I believe exercise is an important element to your dog’s physical and emotional health. We have 2 dogs with a fenced in backyard for them to enjoy the outdoors. I also think it’s also important for dogs to walk the neighborhood to become familiar with the area should one happen to get loose - I’ll teach them how to get home. I’ve also got experience with dogs required to be crated. I believe all dogs have different needs & desires, which is why I adapt to each dog with love and respect.
“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”
About: I have been trusted by several friends and family members to take care of and watch both cats and dogs of many sizes and breeds, providing care and reliability to both pets and owners. I would love to help with walking, feeding, long-term care, or whatever help you and your pet may need! I am a college student home for the summer, with part-time internship, so I have plenty of time to help with your needs, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! I am very interested in helping with any pet care needs, such as walking, feeding, or caring for in busy times! Please feel free to reach out!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets in my own home including dogs, cats, birds, and a few reptiles. I love taking my dog to the woods for long walks (anywhere from 5-15 miles) so you can count on me not to slack on your pets needs. Every time I take care of someone else’s dog, I tire them out with my long walks and they always love it. I just recently graduated from high school and am looking for a summer/gap year job. My days are usually filled with going to the gym and walking my dog so pet sitting is easily integrated into my schedule. I am available to take care of pets in my own home as long as they can get along with my dog, although I would prefer house sitting since I live with my parents and two siblings. I have a fenced in backyard and a front yard that my dog likes to hangout in on a lead. I can follow any feeding/walking schedule and rules surrounding your pet. Additionally, I am a pretty organized person and can keep your space clean and well maintained while house sitting. I hope to hear from you soon and I’m super excited to provide my services!!
“Cassandra was amazing! Reese our pup takes a little time to warm up but her presence with him, he felt comfortable with her right away! She is very knowledgeable and communicates very well. The pictures she took of reesey during the walk were the cutest ever! This was the first time we used her as our dog walker and we immediately booked her for more walks. Highly recommended! Use her!”
About: My personal experience has consisted of hands-on settings caring for dogs through pet sitting, volunteering at an animal shelter, and helping raise and train my own dog from puppyhood. At the shelter, I regularly cared for and walked both dogs and cats, gaining knowledge and experience with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also sat alongside a professional trainer with my own dog, watching taught me how to set appropriate boundaries, understand behavior, and use patience and consistency. In addition to basic training, I’ve taught fun commands like “roll over” and “paw.” Overall, I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I prioritize being both patient and attentive while maintaining structure and safety. Your pet will be treated like family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also send regular updates so you never feel out of the loop. I love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always make sure they are always in a safe, supervised, and stress free environment. I pay close attention to them, follow any instructions you may provide, and keep walks and visits secure while aLeo enjoyable. I also believe communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away.
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
About: Back home, I rescued and cared for several dogs while helping them recover and find loving, responsible families. I have always felt a deep connection to animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I learn quickly and follow instructions carefully to ensure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing their happiness and well-being. I work part-time and online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I am available throughout the week and can provide regular attention, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for pets, and I do my best to maintain their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I personally prefer house sitting because pets are often happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special instructions provided by their family. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. If needed, I may be able to host pets in my apartment on a case-by-case basis, but my primary focus is providing care in the pet’s own home where they feel safest and most comfortable.
About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.

Drew has been a wonderful caregiver for Lilly. He is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring, and she absolutely loves him. He has been helping care for her since the day she came home to me, and I have always trusted him completely with her well-being. Drew also helped care for my previous dog, Addison, who has since passed away, and he showed the same compassion, kindness, and dedication with her. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. He is reliable, responsible, and attentive, and I always have peace of mind knowing Lilly is in his care. I would recommend Drew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter or dog walker

Joy is amazing! Joy signed on to take care of my mom’s dog during a recent illness. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met her. She is someone both people and pets feel totally comfortable around. Joy was communicative, flexible, responsive, kind, and completely reliable. And she clearly loves dogs! We feel lucky to have found our way to her and to have developed an ongoing caretaking relationship. Highly recommend!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gristmill Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 8,304 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gristmill Woods. 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 Gristmill Woods. 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 Gristmill Woods.

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 Gristmill Woods. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
