About: Hi, I’m Nova! I have had pets quite literally since I was born. Birds, rodents, dogs, cats, even frogs, you name it! I’ve always loved all animals since I was very young and am passionate about making sure they get the care they need. I’m very used to having to deal with dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for dogs who struggle with loud noise and being alone as well as reactive dogs. I’m very empathetic and will absolutely prioritize their care! As a current college student, most of my time is dedicated to school. While this does limit the amount of time I have to dedicate to your pets, I’d love to care for them during breaks or if our schedules work out during the school year! When in a clients home, I respect the space as much as possible. For services such as drop ins or walks, I only do what’s absolutely necessary to care for your pets. For house sitting, I’m grateful to be able to share whatever space there is available with your pets!
About: I’ve cared for my own pets and worked professionally with animals at Black Beauty Ranch and Sky Ranch. At Black Beauty, I helped care for over 400 horses, donkeys, and cattle, including young, senior, and animals needing extra care. I handled feeding, medications, cleaning, and keeping records of changes in their health or behavior. That experience taught me to notice small changes, follow care instructions closely, and be patient with different personalities. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away. I’m working part-time right now, so I have free time during the week for pet care. Let me know the dates and routine your pets need, and we can work out a schedule that fits. I’ll be clear about my work hours and any time I’d need to be away. I’ll care for your pets in your home and follow their usual feeding, medication, and exercise routines. Before starting, I’d like to meet them and go over their needs, any behavior concerns, and emergency contacts. I’ll keep doors and gates secure, watch for changes in how they’re acting, and send pictures and updates. I’ll also respect your home and leave things clean.
About: Since I was 13 we have had dogs and animals in our home. I’ve trained them, walked them, fed them, and snuggled with them. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society walking dogs that spent their time there. I am currently doing school in the summer but if you contact me with times I can see if it works with my schedule! :) I currently rent a home and take care of my two pups there. I usually do stop in visits at my clients home and just take care of the animal in the way it is requested!
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
About: They will get a lot of love and they will see the joyful heart in there pet and they will see the difference in there behavior the only pet care I have had was my own and with friends and family most animals are like kids a little attention and a lot of love and getting their bellies full they usually are happy and content really not much more to say but they will be happy every one gets a long with everyone here and I will learn their ways and they will learn the do and the don'ts like I said before they are like kids they know good from bad they get a hold of a bad bay sitter they act out just like a kid would
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Although I’m new to Rover, I have years of personal experience caring for pets and I’m committed to providing safe, loving care and clear communication. I am currently a college student, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I am able to plan my classes and free time around pet visits, walks, and overnight stays to make sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m available on weekdays between classes as well as evenings and weekends, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and fully present when caring for animals. My schedule gives me the ability to stay organized while still giving pets plenty of care, attention, and companionship. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I make sure they have regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate time if needed, and any specific instructions from the owner. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel secure, loved, and stress-free while staying with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Horton. 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 Horton. 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 Horton 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 Horton. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
