About: I am a stay at home mom so, I can do checkins an potty time while you are at work. I have a pretty open availablity. I can do extra lovins while you are on vacation or out of town for work. I currently have 2 big dogs and a bird, I have had cats as well. I am ok with snakes and reptiles, just no spider type pets please. I love working with animals. My doggos are a bit older and both rescues. I have no problems dealing with medical issues and accidents. I have always had animals as long as I can remember, I can't imagine coming home to clean wintows and no happy wiggles and barks. I would treat your babies like mine. I am at home most days and rarely travel. I live in Morrilton but I am in Conway frequently. I have worked as an elderly care giver and had animals my whole life. I have a very nurturing spirit. I haven't met an animal I don't like. My kids get embarrased when I talk to animals I do not know as we walk down the street. I can't help it, it's the look in their eyes. They want lovins and I am a sucker for big floppy wiggles and waggs. I would be happy to care for your pets in your home. Caring for pets in my home is not an option at this time. We rescued a doggo from a dog fighting situation and have been able to get him ok with most people and our other dog, however he is not ready to make friends with other animals just yet.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule. I let them out when they want out, play when they want to play, and clean up any mess so that the client comes back to a just as clean or cleaner house and pets
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive and dependable, and I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and my goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both of you! So i currently am i xray tech and ma at Baptist urgent care in Little Rock, and my schedule is put out to where i work a couple days in a row, and then I’m off for a couple days and I get bored with those days I’m off and I want something I love to do! So in my house I have 3 dogs, I have a fenced in yard and I also have sun shade around my entire fence! My top priority is my dogs safety no matter what! And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. They’re not just animals, they’re family! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your fur babies while you’re away. I’m a loving, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals of all personalities, sizes, and ages. Whether your pet loves playing, going on walks, getting belly rubs, or just cuddling up and relaxing, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve! I love spending time with animals, so making time for your fur babies is something I genuinely enjoy! I do work during the week, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I want to make sure your babies get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone else with your fur baby is a big deal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and make sure they’re comfortable in their environment. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates for your peace of mind. ❤️

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 Houston. 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.

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.
