About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for five years. Throughout my life I have always loved animals and growing up on a small farm fostered that love. I have experience: 💊 Administering medication 🧹 Cleaning up accidents 🐶 Working with shy rescues and nervous dogs I am certified in dog grooming as well, and I am excited to continue my love of animals with your pet! I am currently working almost full-time. Pet care fits into my evenings and early mornings, or weekends best. Visits during the day will be limited, but I can fit it into my schedule if possible! At this time, I am not taking pets into my home, but I am excited to care for your pet in your own home where they are most comfortable! When inviting me in: ✅ I will respect any and all rules given and leave your home as you left it. ✅ I will make sure I understand all boundaries you set for your home and pet. ✅ I will listen and acknowledge any questions or concerns you may have. My goal is to make this pet sitting experience as comfortable and stress free as I can for you- and your pet!
“Rachel has been waking our dog on and off for about a year, and she is always reliable! She is helping to train our pup to walk better on a leash. We highly recommend her as a dog walker!”
“Julie is extremely patient with my two high strung German shepherds, and quickly won them over. I appreciate not ever needing to worry about them when Julie is taking care of them and they are always so excited when she comes to take them out for walks. Julie has been walking my space cadets for me for over a year now when I am working long hours and I can not stress enough how thankful I am for her.”
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and caring for pets is something I take seriously. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I aim to follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I work full-time at QVC on an overnight schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I'm happy to coordinate with pet owners in advance to find times that work for both of us. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I will follow the owner's instructions and stick to their pet's usual routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for the way they're used to. I regularly take my own dog, Max, on walks and will make sure to follow each owner's preferences for walks and outdoor time.
“JOY is completely qualified to walk and care after your fur baby :) she is extremely responsive and accepting of any special needs your pup may need. Joy will help teach your dog cute little tricks and basic obedience Under leash. You would be silly not to let joy walk your pups 7 days a week!! I promise you will not be dissatisfied with her professionalism and doggy knowledge.”
About: I grew up on a 25 acre cow farm. As a child I had every pet imaginable. As a mother I allowed my children to experience owning pets. My 2 youngest grown children have dogs and they are my grand dogs lol. We are a horse family. I have a degree in education and have been a teacher for ever. If I can be trusted with children then you can certainly trust me with you pets. I currently don’t have any pets due to where I live. The landlord is strict on the no pets policy. I know it’s a bummer 👎 All my children are grown so I have evenings and weekends free 👍 I know pets can be considered as a family member so I will take care of them as if they are my own children. I will provide plenty of extra love and kisses.
About: Growing up on a hobby farm, I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. We always had a dog or cat or both in the house. I have done small jobs for friends and family of dog walking and overnight sitting. Currently I'm a stay at home wife with a flexible schedule available for you and your pet's needs. I am available for longer stays if needed. Keeping a safe environment for your pet by following your instructions, including any medical or specialty needs they may have, is my top priority. Your pet's comfort and happiness is my goal!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and levels of need over the years. I love to engage with pets in whichever way they’re comfortable, wether it be snuggles or long walks, or both… I love to do it all! I can stick to whatever routine you have set or would like to have set for your pet, and strive to make each visit full of love and the best care (: I am a teacher and am currently able to do evening checks and walks for cats and dogs! Come summer I am able to be flexible all day! I make sure your dog is leashed or in a fenced in area when they go outside. I can crate your dog as well, if that is your preference. I always make sure there is nothing lying around that is toxic to your fur baby. I am very diligent and always checking surrounding areas in your home and neighborhood to make sure your pet is safe.

My schedule is very flexible, and we can always talk about what times work best for you and your pet’s needs. I am well-versed in the animal language. Having many pets of my own and other experiences with animals, I can understand exactly what your pet needs. I am a fun loving person that has lots of love and comfort for your animal!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,237 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hessdale. 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 Hessdale. 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 Hessdale 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 Hessdale. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
