“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: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Fur babies have a special place in my heart and I will take the best of care of any kind of fur baby. I currently have a two golden doodles(<1), an Australian Shepard(2), miniature Aussie(12) and a cat(13) I rescued from the humane society. I currently work 3 days a week and attend college. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than the days I work from 9 to 6:30. I am available on those days before 9 and after 6:30. I live in a home with a fenced in yard and three large dogs. The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

About: Having grown up around dogs of all sizes my whole life, I bring a lifetime of experience to pet sitting. This isn't just a job for me; it's a genuine passion. Whether it's puppy training or senior care, I'm equipped to provide tailored, loving support for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time and play a sport in my time off. However I will make time for your furry friends. No matter when it is or what it is, I’ll be here! I’m working on getting a temporary fence set up in my front yard, but I do have plenty of space indoors for your dog to play around and have fun!

About: Love & caring for animals isn't for just anyone & everyone. It takes dedication, love, knowledge & patience. My Aunt has a farm that I spent most of my summers growing up. So my love for all animals grew even more from dogs & cats to goats, horses, pigs, horses and my favorite, Rabbits! I was dog walking bathing,sitting and just loving them around age 12. Whatever my neighbors,family & friends needed for their furr babies I would be there to love & care for them. I do have some training abilities but no expert. I know how hard it is to leave your babies & I promise to always communicate, video chat with your furr baby whenever you need. Any special requests your pets needs I'll be there for them. ***IMPORTANT**Please Read***Future clients to know ***I also base my fees on miles driven to clients home, large breed dogs etc... So the price can be adjusted if needed ... Other Example.... Overnight stays, walking, bathing etc . For reasons of me having to leave home to run errands, pay bills etc... I do prefer dogs to be crate trained if possible. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs... Bella she's half Mastiff/German Shepherd. Bella & Bear are both create trained. Bear is a Pomeranian that belongs to my daughter. 1 cat "Sparky" Tabby that thinks he's King!!! Currently I do my own schedule, and . So my time will hopefully be available when your furr babies need. I do have other side jobs I do. So I can work around most things for care of your furr baby. (Rates can change depending on the mileage.) I have new fenced in backyard. 1 female dog Bella. She is half mastiff/German Shepherd & rescued her as a pup. Then 1 Tabby Cat Sparky who thanks he's the king! Pomeranian named Bear that behind to my daughter.

About: I love caring for dogs and have experience with all ages. I currently have a Redbone Coonhound and French Bulldog. They’re both very friendly, get along well with other dogs, and love to play, so I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and laid-back pups. I work a hybrid schedule with plenty of flexibility, so I’m able to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and potty breaks they need throughout the day. My dogs would love to keep your pet company throughout the day! They enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, and spending time with other dogs. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants a companion to relax with, they’ll feel right at home.

About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.

About: I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats! I have had repeat clients and have helped family and friends with their pets on many occasions. I will always treat and love them as I would my own. I am a stay at home mom and I don’t go anywhere often, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I typically provide potty breaks every 1-2 hours and will go on walks if requested, as long as it’s not too hot out. I live in a large 2 story house with a fenced in area and is in a quiet neighborhood. I have a 4 year old son and twin 5 year old girls so your pets need to be okay around kids! If going to someone else’s home for drop ins, I will follow all instructions left for me, and take care of your home and pets as I do my own! 🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,492 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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in High Shoals. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
