About: I've always been a dog lover at heart for all 39 of my years! Dogs bring me so much joy. 🩵😁🩵 🐾I've lived in Daphne for 9 years with my husband, 2 sons, and dogs. Before having kids, I was a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and loved every minute of it! I also helped manage the vet's Canine Rehabilitation Center, where I performed water and land exercises individually with canine patients. I've always had a passion for caring for canines and giving them the best life, full of love. 🐾I have one dog currently, a two year old German short haired pointer mix named Luna (short for Luna-tic), who I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. 🐾It is my goal to make your pup as happy and loved as possible during my visits, filled with exercise, affection, and pets of plenty! I always strive to provide elite quality care for all dogs and open communication with the owners. I'm a very detail oriented and reliable adult, and will always be respectful while at your home and neighborhood. My primary goal is to exceed your expectations by always going the extra mile and loving your pet as I do my own! 🐕🐩🐶🐕‍🦺 I look forward to becoming your dog's new best friend! 😁 I currently offer dog walks, check-ins, and baths, Monday through Friday from 8 to 3, while my young kids are in school. My main locations are Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Fairhope, but can make exceptions if a little farther out. A check-in visit includes getting fresh water, fed, exercise/play time, fetch, brushing, giving meds, getting let in/out, etc, and of course lots of free belly rubs. I'm very flexible and open to however you prefer me to use my time during your visits. For walks, I will go at your dog's prefered pace, pick up after them, avoid hot pavement, and can go on whatever route you prefer. I'm also happy to give your dog a bath in your tub or out in the hose.

“I can’t say enough nice things about this whole experience. Alexandra you were amazing and communicated well. It was my first experience with Rover and I would use it again. You handled my bully with ease and confidence. I was able to enjoy my time away without worry. Thank you so much for caring for our Doak!”

About: With over 20 years as a devoted dog mom, my heart and home are open to your fur baby. I have a profound love for dogs and prefer them to people. lol- JK…ish🐾🤭 jokes aside, every dog deserves a place where they can be cared for, loved, and comfortable when their people have to be away. Offering that is a great responsibility I take pleasure in embracing. Raising my current Weimaraner’s, June and Pluto, from puppyhood, I’ve honed my skills in consistent, patient, and loving puppy training. I’m equally experienced with senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges or blindness, ensuring they feel safe and cherished. From the eye boogers to more serious issues, I’m always prioritizing your dog’s unique needs with honesty and integrity. My home features a large, fenced backyard and a cozy screened-in patio for relaxing together. With me working from home, your pup will enjoy constant companionship alongside June and Pluto, who love welcoming new pack members.🐾🤎 Working from home, I provide round-the-clock companionship for your dog. My flexible job lets me step away to play outside, cuddle indoors, or give pets and love throughout the day. Whether in our dog🐾approved large backyard, my couches, or even my bed, I’m always by your pup’s side, ensuring they’re never alone. June and Pluto, my 2 Weims are naturally gentle, playful, and welcoming to dogs of all sizes, from tiny paws to big goofballs. Dogs are masters at reading energy, and I promise your pup will feel safe, loved, and a genuine pack inclusion.🐾 Our backyard is great! It is a secure paradise for zoomies, fetch, and adventures—safe, private, and fun. When it’s time to wind down, our screened-in patio is the spot to relax together, soak up the breeze, and just chill…. or get the squeaky out of every toy 😆 We do have pool, but rest assured: I’m always vigilant and take precautions or jump in fully clothed without hesitation- seriously, no worries. To make your pup feel extra comfortable, please bring their favorite daily essentials (bedding, blankets, crate, toys, food, etc.). I have plenty of backups on hand if needed, but nothing beats their own familiar smells! 🐾 Every stay is tailored with all my heart to your dog’s unique personality and routine. Your pup will have constant companionship, warm welcomes from June and Pluto, and never a dull (or lonely) moment. *and they will comeback to you bathed if needed* Contact me for a safe, fun, loving stay—

“Christina is amazing! I can’t say it enough. We had to leave town short notice for a death in the family, and she saved our booties. It was her first time meeting our pups and even though the cat was set up and didn’t need anything, she still gave her attention too. I will definitely book her again. She is super attentive and sweet. I’d give her 100 stars if I could!”

About: I’ve had a passion for dog care for as long as I can remember! From just dropping in, going on walks, providing medication, over night care, and holiday stays, I’ve done it all. I’d love to service you and your pup(s)! Let’s discuss scheduling, routine, and what works best for you and your pet(s)! I work Monday-Friday 7am-4pm and my schedule is open nights and weekends! I can provide normal care for your pup, just as a typical working family does! I offer extended care, as well as drop in visits as needed. I believe it’s better and more comfortable for pups to stay in their own homes, but depending on need and preference, I welcome boarding as well!

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾

About: I began watching dogs when I was about 12 years old. My family is a pet loving family with 3 dogs and 3 cats. I started with watching friends and families’ pets, and then branched out to new families as well. When I heard about Rover, it felt perfect for me! I have very frequent availability and am often able to petsit. I am flexible and able to accept recurring jobs if necessary. I do some other jobs on the side but they rarely get in the way of my Rover jobs. Available to petsit at your provided location. Services can not be conducted at my residence specifically due to all of my pets, however, I can always come to you!

About: Hi! I’m Claire, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for years. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, including professional pet sitting, working in luxury dog boarding, and managing a pet specialty store. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny puppies to giant breeds—and I have experience with high-energy working dogs, senior pets, and administering basic medications when needed. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in great hands. During every visit, I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, fresh water, meals, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I’ll also send frequent photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow yours to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work a full-time Monday through Friday schedule, but I’m available to provide pet care during my lunch break, in the evenings after work, and throughout the weekends. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their normal routine, so I make every effort to provide dependable, timely care that fits their needs. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, an evening walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, or weekend companionship, you can count on me to provide attentive, reliable care and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. At this time, I do not provide boarding services in my own home out of respect for my own dogs and to ensure they can maintain their normal routine. However, I am more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of your home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and experience less stress while you’re away. When staying in your home or providing drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My experience with pet care started with taking care of my own dogs since I was 11. When I was 15 I was able to start taking care of family and friends pets while they were on vacation. Since then, i’ve worked as a kennel tech at a veterinary clinic, a dog bather at a grooming facility, and I’ve worked with a pet sitting company as a sitter/dog walker. I’m available any day of the week, I can do late night let outs, early morning walks, mid-day play dates, and overnight stays in your home so your pet can feel as comfortable as possible, anything you need I can get it done. If you’re just needing me to come feed and let out I can do a small home task if needed, turn lights on/off, water plants, bring in mail, take out trash, light dusting etc. I can provide my services any day of the week between the hours of 7am and 9pm and overnight sitting in your home. (special request are always welcome) I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and given plenty of love and attention. When house sitting, I treat my client’s home with the same care and respect as I would my own, while keeping them updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and have trained my last 3 dogs (a mutt, a lab/pit mix, and a husky mix) myself. Daily walks and trips to the dog park are a regular occurrence, and we spend hours playing fetch at the parks. I also take them on frequent runs. I currently only have the husky mix as the others passed. I’m available just about any time, any day of the week. I’m comfortable with all dog sizes and breeds and am happy to accommodate you and your precious pup! I’m also very comfortable with cats and have my own. I have a full-time job and work fully remotely. I dedicate at least 3 hours a day to playing with my dog and working on training. I also spend the weekends going on hikes and longer expeditions with her. Exercise is crucial for both dogs and cats. I make sure my cat has play toys so I’m able to engage with her and I take my dog to parks and on runs frequently to help let her energy out. I also do puzzles to keep her mentally stimulated.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who deserve gentle, attentive care. I’m comfortable with administering basic medications, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in last minute. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I stay organized and committed so your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent in a familiar environment. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and any special care needs like medications. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Matthew is truly an exceptional dog walker and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides for our dog, Lola. From day one, Matthew has been incredibly nice, attentive, and dependable. He treats Lola as if she were his own dog, which gives us complete peace of mind when we're away. Lola absolutely adores him, and her excitement when he arrives speaks volumes about their bond. What truly sets Matthew apart is his proactive commitment to Lola's safety. We especially appreciate that he tests the pavement before every walk to ensure the temperature is safe for her paws. This level of thoughtfulness goes above and beyond, demonstrating genuine care for Lola’s well-being. If you are looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive dog walker who treats your pet like family, we highly recommend Matthew. He is simply the best!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Malbis on Rover is $14 per walk as of October 2026.

As of October 2026, there are 555 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Malbis. 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 Malbis. 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 Malbis 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 Malbis. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
