About: I’ve been responsible for caring for my families pets since I was 5 years old. My dad taught me how to teach basic commands for our dogs and I’ve educated myself in the health and wellness of my pets since getting my dog, Ruby back in 2018. Dogs mean so much to me and they have a soft spot in my heart. I will dutifully care for your pets and make them feel loved in any way I can! I am currently a sophomore majoring in Biology at Wofford College so besides from class, I will give your pets plenty of attention and care. My Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule varies from my Tuesday-Thursday schedule so feel free to ask me about that! I am also apart of greek life and a club on campus which will only take a little bit of my time. Otherwise, I have time to stay overnight for your pets. Any routines that the pet normally has I can continue while you are away! My dog’s health is important to me and I know how important schedules are so I will be sure to follow them to the best of my ability!

About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic care, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.

About: 🌱Since a little girl all the way up to now I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience in caring for both cats and dogs alike as I have fur babies myself; 3 cats and a Pharaoh Hound. 🌱 🌿I will gladly follow special care instructions and supervision advisories as needed to ensure your pet is comfortable in their own home.🌿 ✨Have an Exotic/ “Unconventional” pet? I’ll care for them too! 🐠🦜🐁🐍🦎( this excludes Insect pets.)✨ All I ask is that if I am to pet sit to please allow me to bring my dog if it is overnight stay. I am typically available full-time on the weekends only as I have all day off on those days. Weekdays I am available after 5pm. After I get off of work I typically care for my own pets before relaxing myself. I like to follow instructions provided by the owner. I typically prefer to give pets their respective space unless they show to be needy with affection or hyperactive and need an outlet for their energy via playtime!

About: I currently have four dogs: two seven-year-old Cane Corsos, a rescued American Bully (estimated 10+ years old), and an eight-year-old retired Catahoula who, since his retirement, is more interested in my wife and food than anything else. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I’ve also handled canines in professional and official capacities. I often find myself the go-to person for friends and family when they have dog care questions. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, including cats. I will care for your pets like they are my own. As a former police officer and certified firefighter, I bring an added level of safety and attention to every stay. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, but I also ensure your home is secure and small details, such as things others might overlook, are taken care of 110 percent. I can administer medications, handle pets with special needs, and provide a level of care and service above what’s typical, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I can also handle deliveries that require signatures, escort service technicians or other personnel during appointments, and attend to anything else that may arise at your home while you’re away — providing a truly comprehensive level of service. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to focus on providing this high-end, comprehensive care. While my rates are higher than some on this app, they reflect the level of care, attention, and experience I provide — and I’m confident you’ll find the value well worth it. You don’t have to worry about any nightmare scenarios when I am in charge of your pets and home. Message me any time to check my availability. My schedule is very flexible and I likely can accommodate your needs almost anytime. I am quick to respond. Just let me know how I can help you! I can follow any directions that you have for your pets. I have travelled with dogs back and forth across the country. I can feed and walk and play with your pets. I have administered meds as well.

Greer, SC, 29651

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

About: Hi, my name is Shavonna and I’ve been on Rover since the beginning of Spring 2019. I’m 32yrs old and I live in Rock Hill SC, and I have two boys and a daughter. They are 1yr, 4yr, and a 11yr. I love working with animals, it’s my passion other than being a mother to my kids. I went to school for veterinary assistant and have a certification to help animals or to take care of them. I treat animals is like they was my own. I’m very sweet and gentle when it comes to someone pet and if you let me I can show you how a good pet sitter I can be! My skills are is to let the pet know that I’m in control because sometimes the pet might run over you, so you have to show them who’s boss. Any other way I will not neglect the animal nor abuse, I feel that’s an awful thing to do! Like I said you have to treat the animals as just as if was my own because they are human beings just in a different way! I work from home. So basically I be at home the majority of the day. So I have time on my hands to fit pet care in my schedule! I make sure they are well love as much love I give to my boys and daughter! I also will take them on walks as needed to get the nature outdoors!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kelton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 629 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kelton. 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 Kelton. 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 Kelton.

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 Kelton. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
