“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”
About: I have taken care of friends & family members dogs, both big & small, since I was 11 years old. I also volunteered at the humane society in my hometown for 4 years. Growing up my family also participated in a foster care program and cared for a mother dog and her litter of 5 puppies. I have also been blessed with the experience of working professionally with dogs for 3+ years & plan to continue in the future. I also have 2 dogs of my own! I am currently not working for the summer. During the school year I work as a food service worker at a local middle school. I am very passionate about animals! I’ve worked at 3 different doggie daycares as a dog handler/shift leader & as an assistant manager. I’ve gained a lot of experience during my time at these facilities and have grown even more passionate! I have experience in many areas when it comes to caring for pets! My husband and I have two dogs named Woody & Bee. Woody is a German short haired pointer that is very playful, gentle & has lots of love to give! He is extremely dog friendly & has accompanied me to the doggie daycare facilities and played with dogs of all shapes & sizes. Bee is a golden retriever who is as sweet as can be. All she ever wants to do is cuddle and be best buddies! She is also great with other dogs & just wants to have fun. We do live in an apartment but we have a larger living room where our dogs play when inside. I take our dog’s potty every 3-4 hours max. We also have a huge grassy area right across the street where we love to let our dogs run & play. I am willing to crate your pets if needed but I am a huge dog lover and will soak up all the puppy cuddles I can get!
About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.
“Adam did an awesome job with our dogs! Scarlett doesn’t always have the best social skills with new people, but he handled her like a pro and she warmed up fast. Luka had a rough start not feeling the best, but Adam took it all in stride and kept both dogs safe and happy. This walk was a prep for upcoming house sitting, and it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he communicates well, goes above and beyond, and really cares. Highly recommend!”
“Joanne was dependable, great with the dogs and just a wonderful person to interact with! I really appreciated the daily communication and pictures of each walk and she went above and beyond for both the dogs and the family with her care! Thank you Joanne!!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, starting when I was 6 years old, when I was gifted my first puppy for Christmas. I trained my bishon shitzu to jump through hoops at age 11, not professionally, but I was still pretty impressed. I also helped my parents potty train him. When he got older, I cared for him while he had Cushing’s syndrome until the day he went over the rainbow bridge. Just 2 shorts years ago, I got my second dog, Oakley. He has been my entire world and I trained him on my own, as well as brought him to training classes and learned to do some of those things myself. I absolutely adore dogs and I have since day 1. I love all shapes and sizes and I will always care for them as if they are my own. I look forward to meeting your fur babies that you love just like I do. 😊 I’m currently in PA school fully online and would love to have additional company! I have a Goldendoodle around who loves to play with friends! I live in a condo and have a doodle who I take on walks at least once a day, and I’m sure he’d love to have a buddy or two along. He gets along very well with all dogs and always loves to be around them.
About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for a new opportunity to be around animals this summer and get outdoors whether it’s walking pets or playing outside with pets. I have had 3 big dogs growing up and currently have 2 cats of my own that I adopted from homeward animal shelter. I always ensure that any animal in my care gets all the love that they can and that they have all the needed supplies, toys, and treats.
“My first time using Rover, Michelle was very nice, came over to meet us before the visit, and kept me updated. She made me feel much better about having a stranger come over and walk my dog.”
“Nicole was wonderful!! I sent her a last minute request for a meet and greet and walks for the week and she jumped right in. She was very communicative throughout the week and prior to booking let me know time constraints but quickly proposed alternative solutions. I enjoyed the pictures and comments she provided! Would recommend”

About: I am an animal lover with lots of experience! I have worked in pet care and have watched neighbors animals as well. From turtles and birds to dogs and cats, I can help with any of your animal care needs! Taking time off for the summer before college. I will be available 7 days a week until late August.

The backyard is large so even with the tether there is plenty of space for any pets to roam!
About: I worked as a vet assistant all through high school, and worked at the city pound during college, so I've got experience with all sizes and ages of dogs, as well as experience with complicated feeding routines and a variety of medications. I've got a very flexible schedule, since most of my work starts after schools lets out, so I can make most any time or day work. I can visit pets in their own home up to three times a day, and spend at least an hour with them on each visit.

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 Horace. 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 Horace.

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 Horace. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 83% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
