About: I have a dog that I’ve taken care of for 6 years. I’ve also helped taking care of family and friends’ pets when they go out of town and need someone to look after them. I have experience taking care of cats as well but I’m not as familiar with cats as I am with dogs. Im usually free during the week in the mornings till late afternoon. My schedule is pretty flexible but please feel free to ask and we can work something out. I have a goldendoodle who’s 6 and he’s very friendly but can be misunderstood bc he’s a bigger dog. I’m open to taking care of any breed as long as I earn their trust and if there’s any specific needs please let me know so I can better help.

“I came into town for work and needed a walker on short notice. After contacting Shannon and having the initial meet and greet, she agreed to take Staynz for his walk while I was at work. She was on time and Staynz enjoyed getting out of the hotel room especially since we were in a strange area to him. I recommend Shannon to anyone that is looking for someone who will care for your pet and most of all be reliable on short notice.”

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: hello! my name is Carrington. I'm 28 years old. I have a 5 year old husky mix named Shadow. I love animals and always have had them growing up. As a little girl when I lived in Michigan, I used to walk the neighbor's dogs. I even babysat my friend's dog and her puppies while on vacation because she only liked me and allowed me and her family near her and the puppies. I love playing at the dog park with my dog, training, going for walks, and just overall spending time with dogs. Honestly, I spend more time with my dog than most people. if you are interested in me walking your dog or taking care of your dog please message me! I hope you have a great day :) I am currently not working and going to school full time (online zoom classes) so I am available usually anytime :) my classes are on Tuesday’s and Thursday from 6pm-7pm I will make sure to keep your house the way it was, if not better. If I am staying at your house I will make sure to clean up after myself and your dog if there is a mess.

About: Hello I'm new to the area. Just recently relocated from New York. I've always have had a love for animals and just have always wanted to show the love to other pets as well. I believe all animals big or small deserve the best care possible. Whether its just for the day or while you enjoy some much needed free time on vacation I'm here for your pets needs. I currently just relocated from upstate New York and looking to make new clients. I am working towards being self employed. But currently employed full time and try my best to fulfill everybody's schedule. I care for pets how I would want anybody caring for my own pets. I prefer a detailed list of the pets normal routine and I follow that. When it is comes to giving love and attention to your pets I have you covered. Leash and proper outside produces are important to follow while walking. I would be providing services at the pets home in a familiar and friendly environment.

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.

Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Linwood. 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 Linwood 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 Linwood. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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 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.
