About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Sebastian did a fantastic job walking my dog! He was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend Sebastian!”
About: I have lots of practical experience with dogs. I have owned dogs my whole life and have dog sat for family and friends. I am able to do all of the necessary tasks in order to take care of your furry friend, up to and including: playtime, feedings, walks, and cleaning up after them. I do work a full time job but I do have some flexibility on the weekdays/weekends. Wednesday: anytime after 1pm Friday: 11:30-12:39, and after 4:30pm Saturday: anytime after 12pm Sunday: available all day I am not able to offer my home for pet care as I rent the home I live in and my landlord does not allow any pets. I am able to come to your home, so long as detailed instructions on how to care for your pet are provided.
“Michael has been great walking my Lab/Husky mix Ripley while I've been injured and unable to get him out, even taking him to the local dog park to play. Michael is prompt, professional, and responds to messages and booking requests quickly. Ripley is very excited to see him when he comes, and returns home very happy. We've already booked additional walks. Highly recommend!”
“Blake is so good with our two young, high strung dogs. On the days they go on walks with her, they are so much happier when we get home from work and behave much better after getting some energy out during the day. Blake is patient, kind, communicative and trustworthy. Thank you ❤️”
“Melissa is amazing; she is punctual, communicative, friendly, and my pets adore her! I am never worried when I leave my pets in her care; I know they are well taken care of and that means the world to me. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Thank you, Amanda for always taking such great care of Bella, keeping an eye on her aging and alerting us to changes you’re seeing. We know she’s in great hands and enjoys her special time with you each day.”
About: I've had the privilege of being a dog mom for the last 13 years which lands me a ton of experience caring for dogs but I love caring for all animals! I'm currently freelancing part time and have the flexibility (especially during the day) to make house calls and go for daily walks. I'm also available weekends! When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and strive to provide a comfortable and nurturing environment. I ensure that their basic needs and give them tons of attention and affection, engaging in playtime and cuddles to keep them mentally and emotionally stimulated. Overall, my goal is to create a loving and reliable caregiving experience for pets.
“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”
“Daphne enjoyed her walk with Nikki! Our pup is nervous with new people and Nikki took the time to get to know her and let Daphne get comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Sarah is such a loving and caring person with my dog. He absolutely loves her and her kids! She always keeps me updated on everything that’s going on with him and responds to every single one of my messages super quickly. I can tell he is happy, safe, and well cared for with her. I would definitely trust her with my dog again without hesitation. Highly recommend Sarah! ❤️🐶”
“Kyle has been my go-to dog walker for the last two years. He walks my husky Korra 2-3 times per week depending on my schedule, and has also taken care of her when I've gone away on vacation. Kyle is kind, responsible, flexible and so easy to work with and communicate with. My work schedule shifts week to week, and I sometimes need to ask for a walk last minute, and Kyle is always able to help. We love him!”
About: I've volunteered at the Sonoma County animal shelter for the past year walking, bathing and training dogs. I also have two dogs of my own, Dexter and Lulu, who I walk and feed everyday. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and I love it. I am a current student at Santa Rosa Junior College studying nursing and am looking forward to gaining more experience with pet care, as I have a passion for animals. Please contact me directly regarding availability, as it can differ with my school schedule. That said, I am extremely flexible, often able to take last-minute appointments, and always do my best to accommodate. I am available anytime on weekends, while weekdays vary but remain flexible around my classes. I can also do overnights if needed. I ensure pets receive attentive, personalized care in my clients' homes, including regular feeding, exercise, and companionship, while maintaining a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's needs.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for dogs, cats, and even horses over the years. I currently have two wonderful dogs, a 13 year old senior and a lively two year old pup, both of whom I’ve raised since they were puppies. I also have a playful kitten, adding to my experience with pets of all ages. With plenty of hands on experience, I understand the needs of animals at every stage of life and provide the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. As a real estate agent, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to incorporate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s stopping by for drop-in visits between showings or adjusting my day to meet a pet’s needs, I always make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I follow my client’s instructions to keep pets comfortable and cared for, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs. I ensure their routine stays consistent and provide updates for peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hessel
I honestly don’t think 5 stars is high enough, I wish I could give more. We LOVE Lexi! She’s so knowledgeable about dogs in general and is perfect for our pup, Roxy. They go for runs and Roxy actually comes back tired, which we’ve found is really hard to do with such a high energy dog! Lexi is also very attuned to Roxy and her leash reactivity, which we really appreciate. She’s super flexible and accommodating, and takes the best pictures!! Just an all around great person and dog walker. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,425 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hessel. 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 Hessel. 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 Hessel.

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 Hessel. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
