About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while you’re away I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to introduce them carefully and make sure every pet is comfortable. I can follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I can crate your dog if needed. Safety, supervision, and making your pet feel at home are always my priorities.

“Alicia and Van have been a godsend!!! They committed to walking my brother's dog every morning for over 3 weeks. He is recovering from a broken hip and it has been difficult for him to walk his dog properly. We found Van and Alicia and couldn't have been happier. They truly enjoy what they do and have helped my brother is other ways too - assisting with feeding Zandi. I can't say enough wonderful things about them. The one thing i will say - is your fur-baby is in the best of hands with them and they would be lucky to have them care for them!!!!”

Soraya is great! Mags took to her right away and listen to her and does a great walk! Soraya knows the signs when Mags is getting tuckered out from the heat. Makes sure she gets water and brings her home if necessary. She is an asset and I’m so glad that we have her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Little River is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per walk. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 669 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Little River. 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 Little River. 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 Little River 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 Little River. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
