“Alissa was fantastic! I booked her day-of, and she arrived on time and took our dogs on a lovely walk. She let them drink water and cool down, too. She then kenneled them when she left like we had asked. She had excellent communication, and I’d definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve been an owner to Australian shepherds and Border Collies for over 15 years. I take my current dog running almost every day and for a couple walks each day. I’ve also had cats my entire life, with varying personalities 🙂. I can be a cuddly companion or keep my distance. I’ve always loved animals and am very patient. I’m a college professor looking for a side gig that involves something I already love doing! My schedule is very flexible and I have holidays and summers off. I just joined Rover so I don’t have much pet sitting experience, but I promise you won’t be disappointed. I have summers off, a month off over the holidays, and all holidays off. During these times I’m always available. During the school year I work from home on Tuesday and Thursday and have lots of availability. I work out of town on M,W,F during the school year and am unavailable from 8am-4pm on MWF. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I’m in my 40s, have an advanced degree, a good job, 2 awesome kids, and 3 awesome pets! I’ve had a lot of life experiences and am good at dealing with all situations. I love animals and their care and well-being is my top priority.
“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together. She brought the puppy on a 1-2 mile walk every day and tried to get his energy out. She was prompt and provided daily feedback with pictures. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have had pets of my own most of my life and as I get older and travel more I understand how difficult it is to find a trustworthy helper for your pets. I would love to be a responsible person to help families and their 4 legged friends when their own mom/dad can’t be there for them. I work part time in the evenings and would be happy to help during mornings, afternoons, and evenings when I don’t have other commitments. I could do weekly routines or drop in as needed. I do have a fenced in backyard, but would prefer drop in visits in the pets home. I would consider care in my home possibly in some situations and short term basis.
About: I have three large dogs on the farm, all of them fila Brazilian breed, and I have always taken care of them. I would also like to contribute to helping taking care of yours During the night on weekdays and anytime during the weekend, it depends on how much help you need and we can talk about the schedule :) I pet them and try to play whenever possible. I feed them and take care whatever else they need, I would appreciate to go for a walk and do my best
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 7 years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Im currently not working and full time stay at home. My schedule is very flexible, giving me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and boarding, including weekends and many weekdays I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs, who would love to hang out and play. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions.
About: I'm a PE teacher so I love to go for walks and play with your furry friend. I'm also available to take your dog on a light jog or hike. I've had dogs most of my life and love meeting new furry friends. I've had dogs as small as 5lbs and as big as 85lbs. I'm comfortable with all types, sizes, and breeds. I am capable of following any special instructions/ medications/diets as well. I have higher availability during school breaks but can still make it work during the regular work week. I will adjust time any special instructions you may have for your pet. Need a last minute sit? Just shoot me a message, I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, reptiles, farm animals, and a variety of other species. I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2013 and have been a licensed veterinary technician for the past 5 years. My medical background allows me to recognize signs of illness or distress, provide attentive care, and feel comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I also spent 3 years working as a zookeeper, which gave me even more experience with exotic animals and strengthened my love for working with all kinds of species—not just dogs and cats! Whether your pet needs someone to keep them company, follow a specific routine, provide extra attention, or simply make sure they’re safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I would give my own. Animals have been the center of my career and my life for many years. If there’s a way I can help an animal—or give their owner some peace of mind—I’m happy to be there. 🐾 I currently work from home doing pet insurance so I make up my own schedule Monday through Friday. I do also take care of my disabled mother so there are some circumstances where I will have to deny a booking if I feel it won't work out for our situation. I also work with a veterinary dermatologist once or twice a month and I cannot do any boardings those days, but I can still do drop-in visits. **Dogs boarding must be good with cats** I treat every pet as an individual and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or just some extra patience, I adjust to what makes them most comfortable. With my veterinary and zookeeper experience, I’m also comfortable with medical needs and a wide variety of animals. 🐾 ** I do require your pet have prior experience with cats, especially if they are med-xl dogs **

Looking to stay busy while trying to afford my coffee and thrifting addiction. I can come to you- I will usually have my child with me but safety will always be taken into consideration.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Horace is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Horace. 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 Horace 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 Horace. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
