About: I have spent a lot of time pet sitting family dogs, including powerful breeds like Pitbulls, Belgian Malinois, and German Shepherds. This hands-on experience taught me exactly how important structure and leash training are for a safe environment. Being a shorter person, I prefer to specialize in walking small dogs, medium dogs, or larger dogs who are already trained on the leash and calm when seeing others. Although I do have experience walking dogs who pull or get too excited, I want to ensure safety for your pet, myself, and others around me. However, if your larger pup is still working on their leash manners, I am more than happy to care for them entirely at home, focusing on indoor playtime, backyard fun, and tons of love! I am also a cat mom of 4 and love all types of cats. I currently have a flexible schedule. Whether your pup or kitten needs a last-minute check-in, a mid-day walk or your pet requires strict, timely medication schedules, I am around to help. From Monday-Friday, I may be unavailable to do drop-in or walks until 1pm, unless it’s before 8am. Please connect with me & I will let you know if I can! Always available on the weekends! When I am in your home, safety and respect for your space are my priorities. I treat your home with care, ensuring doors are securely locked, gates are latched, and your home is left exactly as I found it. I can follow strict instructions to ensure that your pet’s needs are met. I also love sending quick photo updates with every visit, so you have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities and truly love spending time with animals. I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every pet like family. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life, including my sweet RayRay, who taught me so much about patience, love, and the special bond we share with our pets. I recently adopted my French Bulldog, Ichabod (“Iggy”), and I’m continuing to learn and understand each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

It is my dream to become a veterinarian someday so I can help animals and continue working with them. I hope you give me a chance to take good care of your fur babies because I will always do my best! I’m currently working part time, I have open availability and a flexible schedule! Whenever you need me to take care of your fur babies you can count on me! When caring for your pets I will take full responsibility and treat them with love and care as if they are my own.

About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets of all kinds — from playful puppies, energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra love. Animals have always been a big part of our family, and we’ve been surrounded by friends, neighbors, and relatives who trust us to care for their pets while they’re working or traveling. I’m responsible and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved! Currently, I work from home running our family business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pets. Caring for animals fits naturally into our daily routine. My twin daughters love to help shower pets with affection, and there’s always someone around to give walks, cuddles, or playtime. Pets blend seamlessly into our home life. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play safely. Inside, pets can relax in a calm, loving environment alongside our sweet 2 year old cat. She is social and used to being around other pets, but I always supervise and take time to make sure every guest feels secure and at ease. All pets must be up to date on vaccinations. Any dogs that show aggression to people or other dogs will be separated and/or crated.
“Abby did a great job with our dog Ritmo while we were on vacation. It was the first time we used this service and we couldn't have been more lucky. She took care of our baby like it was her own. If you are looking for someone responsible, trustworthy and loving to your pet Abby is highly recommended. Thank you”

About: I've dog sat and cared for many dogs from neighbors, friends, and family. I always give them care and attention as though they were my own family. I am currently working part-time so I have many available days throughout the week to dog sit. I am also available on most weekends and holidays. I have a fenced off yard for dogs to have easy access to relief and live very close to a park ideal for walks and play.
About: I truly love animals, especially dogs. They’re not just pets — they’re family. Caring for them brings me so much joy, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening visits, I make time to give every dog the love, exercise, and reliability they deserve. I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or my client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. In my client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping the space clean and secure.
“Courtni was so great! She was super responsive, clearly communicated, and kept me up-to-date! I didn’t have to do any guessing or worrying. She gave me great updates along the way, and was so wonderful with my two dogs. She sent pictures and even tracked her how far they walked. Courtney was fantastic and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have a deep love and appreciation for dogs. Have been taking care of my family’s dog for years now as well as watching my friend’s dogs and cats while she’s away for work for multiple days. I’m currently working little hours at my local job, but I am looking to expand that by walking and taking great care of your furry friends right now I like to get to know the animal and can understand their body language in many different scenarios. I understand what they think as threats and can anticipate different situations and handle as such.

About: I've had dogs my entire life so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I currently have a dog and two cats, and I'm also trusted in my neighborhood and amongst family and friends as someone to watch their animals when they're gone. Im a full time college student but I usually always have my own animals in my bedroom with me, sitting under (or on top of) my desk while I work. I have a friendly dog who absolutely loves play dates, so your dog would never get bored. My backyard is quite large so the dogs have tons of room to run around and play. The fences are regularly checked for holes under them to ensure our dog can't get out. I also have two large cat cages in my home where each of my cats sleep, but if needed, they can sleep in the same cage and the other one can be used to provide your pet some privacy, with their own food and water dishes. I have many many many interactive cat toys so even while i'm working, they can play with the toys that are attached to my desk and walls, along with scratching posts.

About: I’ve worked at a Dog daycare/ boarding facility for 3+ years where we groomed, bathed, gave meds, played with, and even snuggled the dogs. I have 4 German Shepherds of my own at home that I love dearly and 2 cats as well :). I am a big animal lover and think all animals deserve to be loved no matter what size or breed. I am very experienced with dogs and cats and will do my best to cater to your needs and make sure your fur baby is always happy with me :) I have a full time job where I’m able to pic my own schedules so whenever you need me to be available I can always make it work around my schedule no problem! I am very flexible!! To keep your pet comfortable in your home, I love making homemade allergy free dog treats (especially during the summer when it’s hot). If it’s my first time meeting your dog I will be sure to give him as much space/time needed to get used to me especially if they’re shy. I will stick closely to their daily routine, Consistency is a big thing. I will make sure to give the dog any attention but on their terms so they’re fully comfortable with me and pay close attention to their body language.

Alexus is the best! 😊 She’s so sweet and kind. My dogs are very hyper and instense, they aren’t used to being around new people so they can be a bit much. She was very good with them. I am so happy I found someone that can handle them and help us when needed. ✨🫶🤗

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 Lathrop. 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 Lathrop.

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 Lathrop. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
