About: I've been pet sitting for 8+ years now, beginning when I was asked by a family friend to pet sit/house sit for a few weekends when I was 18. While I had been babysitting almost my entire life for both my immediate family and family friends (I am the oldest child of 3 sisters- so you could say I was born for this haha), pets were new to me. This didn’t stop me, however, and immediately, I was IN LOVE!! Her babies became my babies & I’ve never stopped loving each and every animal I have come into contact with since! I have cared for both big and small animals with no love lost in between. I grew up with 3 rabbits in the house who we let roam freely, a bearded dragon, a bird, a dog, and several outside cats! I also now have 2 (inside) cats of my own who I treat like my children. I understand the value and necessity of having a good sitter who you can trust and who is reliable. I am trustworthy, patient, responsible, and the best pet sitter for you! I hope to talk to you soon. :) I am currently available at all hours to take care of ALL of the fur babies! Seriously - I am honored to take care of them! The best thing about me is that I PAY ATTENTION! I am extremely attentive and I will care for your pet as if they are my own. To me, pets are not just animals, they are truly a member of the family so you can trust me to provide your loved one the care that they deserve. I am observant and thoughtful, so your fur baby is in good hands with me. Let me know if you have any questions or preferences because I am more than willing to help. :)
About: I started out as a babysitter, I have been babysitting or nannying for 10+ years. Almost every family has had a dog or dogs so therefore they fall under my care as well. I would love to help care for your furry family member! I live and work in Foley. I work an office job Monday-Friday. If you live close enough I could come home on my lunch to let them out or feed them. I unfortunately cannot have animals in my home but I would be happy to keep them at your home. Hopefully they would feel more comfortable as well.

“My wife and I are so grateful to have Jaclyn as Lola’s dog walker. Jaclyn provides a level of care that feels like a family member whenever she’s with Lola. Jaclyn is very patient and gentle with Lola. My wife and I can tell from the photos. Lola is always happy to see Jaclyn. If you want a dog walker who will treat your pet with the same love and attention you do. I highly recommend Jaclyn”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them! I especially enjoy dog walking and making sure every pup gets the exercise, attention, and outdoor time they need. I’m comfortable walking dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, whether they need a relaxed stroll or a longer walk to burn off some energy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will always treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pup is happy and safe! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks and drop ins! I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings and I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine. I can also do regular weekly walks or just help out whenever you need me. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, keep your pup securely leashed during walks, and pay close attention to their surroundings and behavior. I’m respectful of every client’s home and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while they’re with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Gulf Shores is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $22 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 494 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gulf Shores. 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 Gulf Shores. 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 Gulf Shores 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 Gulf Shores. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
