“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! 🐶❤️ In addition to having a dog of my own, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of dog care. I helped with daily tasks, took dogs for walks and bathroom breaks, assisted with post-surgery care, and handled the many responsibilities involved in keeping dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. This experience taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle with every dog, especially when they need a little extra care. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and always ready to play, adventurous and love going on walks, or total cuddle bugs who just want extra affection. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home! I know how much your pup means to you because I know how special that bond is myself. I would treat your dog like part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you're away. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby is in caring hands with someone who has real experience working with dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new best friend! 🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pup’s needs! 🐶💕 I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daytime pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday potty break, some extra attention while you’re at work, or someone to keep them company during the day, I’m happy to help! I know life gets busy, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is getting plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Having worked at a veterinary clinic, I understand the importance of being attentive, following care instructions, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so I can provide care that works best for them. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect the space, follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep food and water bowls filled as directed, and ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is doing well while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention, and I will always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾❤️

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 La Fox. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in La Fox after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 La Fox. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
