“Alia is very reliable and timely! You can tell she has a lot of knowledge on dogs and goes the extra mile to work with my puppy! She truly cares about the well-being of animals!”
About: Lifelong personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish with a variety of personalities and temperaments. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have provided in-home pet care and house-sitting for others. I’m adaptable, attentive to detail, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I’m a full-time college student with classes from about 9 AM to 3 PM, but I have hours between classes that give me plenty of flexibility for pet care. After 3 p.m., I am usually free and can devote a lot of time to caring for pets. I can work walks, playing, feeding, and check-ins into my class schedule, and I have greater flexibility in the evenings and on weekends. I take care of pets in their own homes by maintaining as comfortable and regular a routine as I can. I adhere to all of the owner's directions, including those regarding playtime, medicine, walks, feeding schedules, and any special needs. Along with keeping their house tidy and safe, I also make sure pets have lots of attention, exercise, and company. While their owner is away, I want every pet to feel secure, at ease, and well-cared for.
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for many animals over the years, and taking care of them has always come naturally to me. I’m comfortable giving medications, whether that means hiding a pill in a little cheese or a piece of hot dog, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to a dog. More than anything, I simply love animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and special needs. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I would treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and affection that I give my own. At the end of the day, I just want to help animals enjoy their lives and make sure their owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in loving hands. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting fits wonderfully into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a dog of my own who is very much part of our family, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. ❤️ With my husband going through cancer treatment, Rover also gives me a chance to get out of the house, do something I genuinely enjoy, and share some extra love with other people’s pets. It makes me happy knowing I can help someone while giving their furry family member the attention, companionship, and love they deserve. 🐾❤️ I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will take good care of your animal as if it was my own. That’s just the way I feel and I hope that I could give you the greatest experience, taking care of your animal.
About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!
About: I have taken care of my own dogs ever since I was young. I volunteered at the humane society in Waukesha WI for 6 months and spent time with mostly dogs but all animals. I have watched my family and friends dogs many times as well. I am a college student and it is hard being away from my fur baby so I am looking to spend time with some animals and help out where people need it! I am a full time college student with 3 in person classes and 2 online classes so my schedule is super flexible to stop in last minute or help wherever is needed. I unfortunately am not able to host any pets in my home because I am living in the dorms. But taking care of a pet in a clients home sounds great and I will be respectful of the space and clean up after myself.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 16. I’m a animal lover with plenty of experience with many dogs and cats. I would love to meet your animals! I am currently a part time worker with a flexible schedule and lots of free time! I have plenty of availability to fit with your schedule and pets’ needs. I have a lot of experience dealing with pets in different situations. I am eager and able to learn how best to care for your animals!
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for two and a half years. My family has had many pets and I was always their primary caretaker. Currently, I have had my dog for 8 years and my husband and I recently adopted our cat Buster together. I have also had experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I am able to walk, bathe, brush, clip claws, feed, exercise, and play with cats and dogs of all ages. I am a teacher so I am available mostly during evenings for drop in visits and walks. During common break times such as Spring Break or summer I would be available for overnight house sitting. Weekends are usually fully open! I am experienced in keeping animals safe and healthy. This includes playing and exercising with them, making sure they get food and water, and cleaning after them.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and got my own fur baby 5 years ago! I have had experience watching dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies for friends and family. My experience has ranged from feeding, playing, cleaning up after them. I love to take them on walks and give them all the attention they desire :) I am working part time at two different jobs but my schedule can be very flexible. I love furry friends and will make time for them. The animals safety and proper care are very important to me! I take priority in making sure their needs are met and are safe. I will make sure to keep an eye on them outside and take the proper precautions when doing so
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 2 long haired cats. Being a registered nurse I have a lot of experience giving medications to humans, but also animals. I have some grooming experience given my cats need for it. I have extensive reactivity training in dogs as one of ours has struggled since she was a puppy. I would love to make your fur-baby feel loved and cared for while you have the peace of mind while on vacation or work. I am currently a registered nurse, so my schedule is very open and I can shift things around as needed to help out! I do not work a straight routine, so have many open spaces. I would gladly watch your animals in your home so they continue to have the comfort of their natural area and no added stress of being somewhere they do not know. I will gladly follow whatever rules or schedule you set up!
About: I have worked with dogs for 12 years. I have worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility. I am an inspiring dog trainer as well! I am available to take care of your pets most days.

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 Lufkin. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
