About: I have taken care of and been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of, feed, and play with their pets. I have been on rover since the beginning of June 2025 and have had many successful stays with multiple clients and their wonderful pets! I always put the animals needs before my own and make sure the animal is comfortable and content at all times! I am currently a full time student. I go to school in Richmond Indiana. My longest day at school is on Tuesday and I am there for about 6 hours. On Wednesdays I am at school for about 5 hours. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am at school for about 2 hours. I will devote the majority of my time to your pets aside from having to leave them to go to school for a few hours during the day. When I get back from school, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and feel loved by playing and getting their energy out or by cuddling if that’s what they prefer:) I will care for your pet in your home with any and all instructions you give me. I will be willing to clean up any messes that are made. I will feed, bathe, and cuddle your pets! I will make sure they have enough water and always take them outside for potty breaks!

Chelsea was fantastic! I booked her last minute and she came over to meet within a few hours. She did a great job with my doggos and I would definitely recommend her to walk your dog or do drop in visits!

About: I grew up on a farm and absolutely adore animals of all shapes, sizes and breeds! I volunteer at the animal shelter and have tons of experience walking, grooming and training dogs! I would love the opportunity to spend some quality time with yours! My husband is military so for me, animals have been the one constant, outside of our kids, that I've had no matter where we are stationed and they bring so much joy and innocence to the world! Dogs are you just so pure and happy and full of tail wags that you can't possibly see one and not want to love on them! Well, at least I can't anyway! I will love your pet like they are my own and they will always get first class treatment!

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection. I’m happy to give them a bath if needed and take them out regularly for potty breaks, making sure they stay comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Kate! I’m an old Indiana farm girl that raised and showed cattle and hogs most of my childhood. I am now a career flight attendant with one of the majors. I am Mama to 3 grown girls and Lala to 2 little boys. Let me help you help me! I love animals and spending time with them. I have a very flexible schedule for work and would rather stay home and in the area with my family than travel as much right now. I will follow your instructions as given, always clean up after any animal and be observant of anything else going on in the home as I have been a homeowner for many years. Meticulous tidying skills right here. 😊 Also, if your animal comes to my house, I have a large fenced in backyard for them to jump and play.

About: I have always been a lover of any type of animal, but dogs would have to be my favorite! My entire family has always owned an animal of some sort, and I currently have 2 dogs. I believe that no good will come out of a rushed walk and no enjoyment will come out of one either. Healthy length walks lead to better mental health and well-being for your dog. I can provide leashes and baggies if needed, and as long as there are no specific allergies or rules, I will bring treats along as well. I enjoy animals and the care that is involved in making sure our fur babies are safe and happy! I would love to work with you and your dog! I will be starting back at Sinclair on the 22nd of August, However most of my classes are online, so there will be plenty of time for walks, drop in sits, etc. My family has a huge fenced yard that our two dogs love to sun bathe/play in. The dogs enjoy getting at least 2 walks a day around our neighborhood, sometimes to JDs Frozen Custard for pup cups!🤎

About: I have been passionate about animals since I got my first pet (a white kitten which I named Snowball) at age 3. I have had numerous dogs and cats since then as both an owner and a foster. Though I do not have a degree in veterinary science, I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and am competent in caring for the various needs of man's best friends. I have raised puppies and kittens and currently have three large senior dogs (age 11) and am cognizant of the unique needs of pets both young and old. I also care for exotic animals - I own two bearded dragons, two leopard geckos and a turtle. I have done extensive research on the care and keeping of furry and scaly friends alike. I look forward to being a meeting your best friend(s). I work a full-time job Friday through Sunday. I am available Monday through Thursday. I can accommodate any time frame that suits you and your pet. I am very fastidious about cleanliness and safety. You can expect me to treat your pet like family. I am a natural problem-solver and am very in tune with animal behavior. Your pet's safety and comfort are my utmost priority.

About: I’ve had many pets during my life. I have experience with cats of all ages, and dogs of many sizes. With my own animals, I have experience providing medication like pills and drops. I have slight experience with dog training from classes in college and training my own animals. I work from home and in the evening so my days are often free and I am not needed anywhere. I can work from any place with WiFi. I can provide walks as frequently as needed due to my work from home job. This makes it easy to care for your animals in your home and on their schedules.

About: I’m not a dog trainer by any means. Dog just seem to like me and want to hang out. I am not scared of dogs any bread or size. I just like giving the dogs some loving and attention. Typically I’m the morning I am free to walk dogs. Evenings not so much I work late night shifts. I would prefer to walk a couple dogs in the morning. I can feed, walk, let outside, keep an eye on them. I definitely keep a shape eye out for things they eat off the ground. I have no problem cleaning up after dogs. I can drop by when the owner is not home to let the dogs out and back in.

About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ithaca

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 776 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ithaca. 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 Ithaca. 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 Ithaca.

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 Ithaca. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
