About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience providing caring, reliable pet care. I enjoy keeping pets happy and comfortable through walks, playtime, feeding, attention, and maintaining their daily routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a college student home for the summer so my schedule is quite open and flexible which allows me to easily accommodate your schedule.

About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a college student looking to make some extra money doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals , and I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I also have one year of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I learned how to safely handle pets and provide compassionate care. I love taking my dog on hikes, going on walks, and spending time playing with my cats. Whether your pet loves being active or just wants someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you're away. I'm pretty flexible throughout the week. I usually work on the weekends, so I'm generally more available Monday through Friday for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight stays. On weekends, I may not be available to let pets out during the day while I'm at work, so if your dog needs to go outside every few hours, I may not be the best fit during those times. I'm always happy to discuss your pet's routine to make sure I'm a good match. pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care your pet needs. Thanks to my experience as a veterinary assistant and growing up around animals, I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every animal like they're my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
“Brianna was communicative, kind and clearly took wonderful care of our pup! She provided thorough details about her time with our doggo and the pictures were proof of just how happy our little one was in her care. 5/5, 10/10 and any other top ratings we could share 🌟”
“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.

I am currently taking online asynchronous college courses over the summer so I have a ton of time to watch and be intentional with the dogs! I have a rescued lab and hound mix dog named Sawyer who is always looking for new friends! He instantly gets along with every other dog and matches their energy low or high.

I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well!

About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.

I am available to take care of your pet babies overnight and in the morning to afternoon to early evening I give all our cats and dog the best treatment possible, I wake up and feed them, take our dog on walks, cuddle up with the kitties while doing homework and spend the night with all of them sleeping in my bed with me (I love them so much I let them sleep on my pillow and steal 90% of the bed space😂)
About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️
“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

I own my own accounting business and I work from home only 1 day a week. The rest is taking care of my pets. So, your pet will be with someone who loves them and cares for them. I have always been an animal person since I was little. I love to learn more about your pet and what you need to help make your furry friend as happy as can be. I work from home and can be here for your pet 24/7. I will give your pet plenty of human time and cuddles. I will also follow your feeding instructions and schedule from home. In my home, your pet is our pet. They will sleep with us (unless exotic) and have free roam of the house. I’m home all day so they will have plenty of human time as well.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Independent Hill on Rover is $26.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Independent Hill. 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 Independent Hill.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Independent Hill. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
