“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”
“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”
About: Animals have always been a very special part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been natural to me since childhood. I absolutely love animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I know that every dog has their own personality, habits, and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, basic care, and following your pet’s usual routine and your instructions. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and happy to send photos and updates during walks or visits so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is with me. I will care for your pet with the same kindness and attention I would want someone to give my own. 🐾❤️ have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s usual routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 16, and currently have two of my own. I dog sit for friends and family, volunteer at a local dog shelter and foster dogs from time to time. I’m very experienced with all types of dogs. I currently work from home full time and my partner also works from home full time. The pups will never be left alone for long, and will have my two dogs as company ☺️ I have a large fenced in yard with two small friendly dogs. I have also gated off a small section for of the yard for additional safety. I can crate a dog if needed, otherwise all are free to be on the furniture/bed etc. I live in a ranch, so if an elderly dog, no stairs as a hindrance. We have lots of toys and beds!

About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.

I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs and behavior.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Itasca
We have been lucky enough to have Ashley multiple times and will continue to use her as our walker in the future. We also recently needed help with only a few hours notice and she swooped in and saved the day. 10/10 She is very communicative, my dog loves her and her commitment to getting good pictures of my guy is unmatched! It makes my heart happy knowing he is having fun and I know in good hands when I’m working.

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 Itasca. 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 Itasca.

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 Itasca. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
