“Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.”

About: Hello! I am a new sitter here, and looking to help provide the care, attention, and love your pup needs! Big or small, shy or hyper, I am here to tend all of your pup’s needs! I am a previous dog owner of 2 amazing pups of my own, Gizeylle (Black Lab & Australian Shepherd 16yrs) and Spike (Rednose Staffordshire Terrier 8yrs) who have both crossed the rainbow bridge. With that being said, spending time with other dogs has been healing and therapeutic for me during my own grieving process. I am experienced in handling dogs of different breeds, temperaments, sizes, AND ages. I will treat your baby like one of mine. ❤️ I have pretty open availability, as I have been laid off, so I have much free time for check-ins, walks, and sitting. Please inquire on the availability needed for your pup. I have a large yard with space for your pup to sunbathe in. My yard is not fenced, so they will need to come with a leash and collar/harness. Please bring your pup’s bed, crate, etc. for their own comfort.

About: I have over 12 years of experience in dog care, with a strong background in grooming, vet assisting, training, and behavioral work. I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep love and understanding of our four-legged companions. As a devoted dog mom to my two golden retrievers, Sophie (11) and Gus (2 years), I’ve raised and trained three puppies, ensuring they are well-socialized, happy, and healthy. I believe in introducing dogs to new experiences, helping them feel comfortable around other pets and people. Dependable, responsible, and attentive, I treat every dog as if they were my own—providing loving care, plenty of exercise, and lots of belly rubs! I have a structured yet flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care for your pup! I work part-time at a day spa just 20 minutes from home, with hours from 10 AM - 6 PM Wednesday-Thursday, and 10 AM - 5 PM on Fridays. Saturday-Tuesday I have a lot of flexibility, giving me extra time for pet care. I’m available for boarding both on weekdays and weekends, and since I get a 1-hour lunch break, I can come home for a quick potty break if needed. For dog walking and pet visits, I’m available before and/or after work on weekdays, as well as on weekends. At home, my two golden retrievers, Sophie and Gus, are part of my daily routine—they get plenty of love, exercise, and socialization, and any pup in my care will be treated just the same! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours. I live on 2 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run, play fetch, and explore. While my backyard is unfenced, it is very safe and not near the main road. I always supervise the dogs when they are outside to ensure their safety and enjoyment. In my home, pups enjoy a loving, structured environment alongside my two friendly golden retrievers, Sophie and Gus. I provide a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. For walks and pet visits, I follow your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I respect your home as if it were my own, creating a stress-free and positive experience for your furry friend. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, I treat every pet like family!

About: Hi, I’m Lona! 🐾 I’m an animal lover currently in a veterinary assistant program with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 💕 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m available and committed to meeting your pet’s needs. I love staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine — it helps keep me moving and gives me a chance to bond with your pet. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9-to-5 schedule, I can easily adapt to last-minute requests, extended stays, or custom routines that work best for you and your furry friend.

About: I’ve always been around animals and grew up with many in my home. I currently own a two four year old German Shepard mixes who are very energetic and love other dogs. They will be a great help to wear your furry friend out and I know they will love to gain a new friend just as much as your pet would. I have raised one of them since she was weeks old and am very experienced with pups of all ages. I have strengthened a lot of training skills since I’ve own her and will love to work with your pet as well and help strengthen their skills along the way. We do have an additional extra large crate with lots of blankets to make your fur baby feel right at home. We also have extra bedrooms and baby gates to provide your fur child with extra space to feel more comfortable in our home. We always recommend to send your pup with their favorite items from home. Both my fiancé and I have lots of experience with caring for senior pups as well as medication. My little family and I are excited and cannot wait to meet you and your furry pal! <3 <3 I’m currently a hairstylist new building up her clientele so I do have a lot of time on my hands to spend with your fur baby. If I’m away from my home it is typically for a few hours during the week, but I do have flexibility with my work so I am able to accommodate you and your pets requests. I have a fenced in yard and an extra crate to provide your fur child with a safe home and atmosphere. My two friendly dogs love to spend time outside. When indoors my pups love to play and have the space to do so, which also allows your pup to feel safe and jump in on the fun. We offer extra toys, blankets and pillows too, but we would love your baby to have a special item from home to remind them of you while you’re away. I promise to send tons of pet selfies and updates of your baby and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or updates as needed. We know your fur babies will be happy to hear from you.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs.

I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets.

I’m also comfortable using crates when needed and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions you provide.

FAQs for Dog Walking - High Shoals

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,458 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across High Shoals. 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 High Shoals. 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 High Shoals 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 High Shoals. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
