“Jordan was great! Communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. I was really glad Tex had a walk since we were gone all day, and she braved the rain to give him a nice long walk. Thanks Jordan!”
“Robin helped us out by spoiling our dog Maya with lovely nature walks for a week. Robin was so kind and loving with Maya, and Maya was super excited to see her every day. I loved all of the pictures we received; seeing Maya that happy made our week. Robin genuinely cares for the animals she works with.”
About: Hello! My name is Tia and I grew up with animals in which I absolutely adored. I had many different kinds of animals growing up and have always been an animal lover / care taker. Since I work from home, I am very flexible and I am able to be at home at all times while watching your fur baby to ensure lots of exercise and best care! I have a Cavapoo who I absolutely adore. I trained her myself and she is extremely friendly and loves to meet new friends - come play with us! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule which gives me loads of time to play and take care of your fur baby! I am available most days from 7-7 however if you are in need of a sitter earlier or later than these hours, please ask and I can try and accommodate. I live in a house with a yard however I go on many walks per day with my own little one and would love to take your fur babies as well! I also have ample space for them to play in our house.
About: Honestly, I'm just a huge animal lover. I've got a goofy Lab-Pittie mix who's my best buddy, and I still miss my two sweet Norwegian Lundehunds like crazy. I'd absolutely love to spend time with your dog, whether it's a long hike, a park visit, or just some good cuddle time. Since I'm home all the time, I'm super flexible. I'm also happy to handle any special needs or meds – they'll be treated like part of the family, I promise! Can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm semi-retired so my time is flexible. I can be there for your fur baby early in the morning or later into the evening. Weekends are no problem and I'm even available on holidays! I get it – your pet is special, and their care should be too. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to really listen to you and observe your pet, so I can provide exactly what they need, whether it's a good walk, a timely meal, or just some quiet comfort. I'm here to be a reliable and loving presence for your pet in your own home
About: My name is Shannon and I am 42 years old. Me and my husband currently have 4 crazy dogs who we take on adventures all the time. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 11 years. I am working part time and I am hoping to fill some of my free time walking dogs. I am very experienced with handling dogs in all situations. I have done dog walking and pet sitting in the past. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. Currently working part time as a veterinary assistant. I would love to have regular walks scheduled but can be available for last minute needs. I will not be bringing dogs to my home or bringing my dogs around any other dogs as my dogs do not get along with other dogs. I have my own very reliable vehicle that I can use to transport pets if needed for different walking experiences.
About: I have a cat and a dog and they are my life! I love all animals. They make me happy and less dippressed. I love love to be around all animals. I have worked with animals now for 7 years and my frirends and family would give good reconmandations for being a pet sitter. Pet care fits into my daily routine because every day I get up and feed my own dog and cat. Along with that I take my dog out every day for a walk. How I take care of my own pets in my home is by feeding them, and playing with them, and walking them, And making making sure they are well careed for and loved. I would treat your pets the same as I treat mine.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and I have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I also worked along side K-9 as military police so I would love to watch any working dogs or high energy dogs that need an outlet. I have owned a working dog and alls a dog with severe anxiety so I’m also willing to help any pets that need extra attention. I currently work part time and I’m recently separated from the military so I have all the time in the world. I’m free 5 out of 7 days a week. I’m will to be free on my two days I’m “not free” if it’s urgent. I am a confident person when it comes to handling dogs and cats so anything that is a need; I am willing to do. I’m well versed in muzzle work and reactive dogs as well.
About: I am a teacher looking to stay busy this summer. I have a dog and 2 cats. I grew up with pets my whole life. I plan on doing this over my summer break. I will have a lot of time to spend time with animals by giving them the exercise they need. I am happy to host at our place. We have a spacious place. I love to stay active and take them out often. I can also go stop by and make sure your animals are loved!
About: I grew up with animals - like quite a few! I've had cats since I was born, dogs since I was 8, a horse, a ferret, a bird, some fish...I've just always loved them! I would always take care of the neighbors' animals when they went out of town growing up, and have pet sat for many family members and friends. I even have some experience with goats and chickens :) I currently have a pug named Ricki, but live on a family compound with a great Swiss mountain dog, a pomeranian, and my mom's two frenchies visit often. I have a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and would love to fill my days taking care of your fur babies I am currently without a pet for the first time in my life! Both of my senior pups passed during Covid after living long, healthy lives and while I'm not ready for another pet quite yet - I am really missing having an animal friend. I tend to have 3-4 day weekends and can be available during weeknights depending on time and location. I believe we are so lucky to have animals in our lives and want to do everything to keep them happy and healthy! I am available to pop in for a snuggle/play/walk session for your dogs or cats and am available for extended care in the right circumstances (house sitting or dog boarding). I do have a few dogs on the property (an 8 year old pug and a one year old great swiss mountain dog) so we would need to make sure everyone gets a long first. For dog walks, I would plan walk just your pooch to ensure they get the proper attention they deserve.
About: I am an experienced obedience dog trainer who wishes for a work-life balance helping animals!! Animals have been my passion throughout my life, ranging from reptiles, rodents, to dogs. My goal is to further expand my knowledge in dog training and to learn everything there is to help guide me into more opportunities working with furballs! Having animals of my own, as well as having many in the family, has given me experience with handling. This is where I have learned and practiced skills such as dog training, intervening with disputes, administering medicine, and much more. I also love the outdoors, so hiking is something I love to do with my dogs to burn out their energy. During my experience at ABC (Animal Behavior College), I worked with trainers where I learned techniques for impulse control, reactivity, puppies, and even some service dog training. I also worked with the behavioral specialist at the Everett Animal Shelter where I am provided a list of dogs to work with and make them more adoptable :) I am flexible most days!! I work a full-time job at the moment but have a mixed schedule between days and nights. This makes it easier to do drop-ins/walks during the weekend and then sitting at night during the week! I currently live in a camper with not a lot of room to host doggies here. However, I will be moving to Burlington area soon and will have a much bigger area to hopefully board overnight!!
About: We have been around animals all our life since living on a small family dairy farm including 4-H as a kid. We can care for all types of animals. We can administrator shots and pills. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. My husband is retired and loves animals as well. So your fur baby will get 2 for 1 as he also loves to care for animals too. Pets are less stressed and relax more when in their own home. While you are away you know your pets are being well cared for in their own environment.
“I needed some help walking my dog due to an injury. Jojo was able to help on short notice. She’s friendly and reliable. My dogs a little shy around new people, but was clearly happy to see her after a couple days. If he’s happy I’m happy 😊 😸”
“Juan came by to take care of our kitties and it was perfect. He was communicative, respectful of our house, and did everything exactly as we wanted. Definitely rebooking with him again for Kitty care.”
About: I had a dog for my whole life, and cared for him from puppy to senior, so I know how to care for a dog at any stage of its wonderful life! I have also watched dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua to a weimaraner! I am very active and would love to walk and play with your furry friend! I am VERY available this summer, and would love to care for your pet! I have a big car love to be outside and active! I am very clean and organized, trustworthy, and reliable. I am devoted to creating a safe environment for your pet! I make sure to clean up all areas and make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and comfortable!
“Communicates when she is not going to be able to walk the dogs. The dogs love her and are excited to see her. She helps so much burning off some of the dogs energy. I would recommend Olivia to anyone who needs a fog walker.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,184 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Index. 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 your Index. 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 Index.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Index. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
