About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, I bring a calm, reliable presence your pup can trust. I’ve spent the last 4 years training dogs and fostering for GSP Rescue in the Southeast—successfully placing pups in loving homes. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, structure, or a little extra patience, we've got you covered! I currently work full time remotely from home. My husband is home during the week and gone several weekends, but when we are in town we both love to take the pups on rides in the car (if they enjoy it). We love to get out and walk or take Remy for a drive to get coffee and pup cups. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with peaceful neighbors. We have a completely fenced in yard with about .3 acres of area to sniff and dig. (yes, we let them dig) We love to spoil with cuddles and toys and treats. Structure time with toys and training time will always be a part of our care too. I have 4+ years training our dog and believe in short training sessions regardless of knowledge level.

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of animals. Growing up I had, of course, dogs but also cats, rabbits, birds, and even a chinchilla! I moved to a farm as a teenager where I was kept busy taking care of livestock and training horses. Naturally I seeked out jobs with animals too. I’ve worked 1 year at a horse barn and then 2 years at a vet clinic. While working at an animal clinic I learned how to take care of every doggy personality whether it be high reactivity, shyness, dog-aggression, or high energy. I also, of course, learned a good bit about vet med too. I’ve also taken care of many types of cats friendly and sassy ones too! I know how stressful it is leaving a fur baby behind but I want pet owners to know I will give my absolute best care to each and every animal and keep you in the loop with paw-some photos! I have wide open availability right now, so feel free to reach out with your dates! Any days I won’t be available will be marked in my calendar! I am able to do whatever you feel is best for your pet; whether that is plenty of walks or plenty of good tummy scratches or both. I have enough experience to be able to care for your pet in the best way possible.

About: Have been a pet owner all of my life, and experience with all types of animals. I just recently moved to the Huntsville area and have a fenced in backyard on 10 acres of land, toys and a dog of my own who loves playtime and friends. I will have an open schedule and will be home full-time. My schedule will be very flexible, I am looking for one time sitter needs or ongoing scheduled needs. I have a large house with plenty of space for indoor relaxing, and a fenced backyard for exercise & playtime. I have one medium sized dog (Labrador Retriever mix) who is very friendly, both to people and dogs.

About: Hi!! I have a special love of animals!! I have a small, 4 pound dog that is actually a certified service animal. He was certified after losing my 3 month old son on Thanksgiving night 2016!! He is very very well trained and gets along with others. I will love your fur baby like my own! I can accommodate and gladly honor any special needs or requests to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible!! The care and love that I can give your pet is definitely from my heart! Give me a chance to give your pet a great day everyday that you are away or need drop in visits or dog walks. Whether you are away for a week, a day, or just an average work day, I would love to have the opportunity to care for your baby!! I never ever watch more than one family’s pets at one time! When you entrust me to care for your pets your pets are my #1 priority. When you decide to allow me to take care of your pet(s), I do everything possible to ensure that they maintain their normal daily routine. I would like for you to know that although I do have 2 wonderful small fur babes of my own, I never bring them along when I take care of your babies! I believe that your pets deserve 100% of my care and attention!! I do not want your babies to be uncomfortable in their own environment by bringing my dogs into unfamiliar territory! I do prefer house sitting in order to keep your pets in their normal routine as much as possible!

About: Hi! My name is Elena, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family—and I treat every animal in my care with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and very observant of behavior changes, which helps me keep pets safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, structured routine, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, structure, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and trust at all times. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I keep environments clean, secure, and calm, supervise pets closely, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up, I was the go-to person in my family for all things animal care. In 2019, I adopted the first animal of my own, a Goldendoodle named Cooper. After adopting him my love for animals grew tenfold and I decided animal care is my passion. Since then we have also adopted a Poodle named Callie and two tabby cats named Oliver & Kevin. The love I have for these animals is just indescribable and it’s what made me want to dive into pet care and make this my everyday job. Animals are my true passion and I dream of one day owning my own boarding and daycare facility. I’ve gained valuable experience working as a manager at a local daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for a wide variety of pets. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or any other type of animal, I’m here to provide the best care possible. I’d love to share my experience and provide your pets with the care, comfort, and security they deserve while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’m dedicated to turning my passion into a professional career. Caring for animals is what I do every day, and it’s my number one priority. I’m eager to expand my experience by looking after a variety of pets, beyond just my own. With my flexible schedule, I have plenty of availability throughout the week and am ready to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight care, or just providing companionship, I’m here to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’m experienced in all aspects of animal care and take great pride in ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for. Whether your pet has a unique feeding schedule, requires daily medication, or whatever the case may be, I’m here to provide the individualized care they deserve. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel safe and secure, and I’m dedicated to giving them the attention, consistency, and love they need.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lacon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 391 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lacon. 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 Lacon. 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 Lacon 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 Lacon. On Rover:

  • 90% 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 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.
