About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra playtime and consistency to senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medications, or additional attention. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, administer oral medications, provide walks and enrichment, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a part-time nanny during the summer, I already maintain a structured and flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care in throughout the day and week. I’m typically available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my pet visits or walks around my childcare responsibilities. I’m very organized and reliable, so I make sure pet care is never rushed or overlooked. I can provide consistent feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins before or after my nanny shifts, as well as on days I’m not working. I enjoy staying active and being on a routine, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I’m able to do smoothly and consistently. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to stick to feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give regular walks or potty breaks, and spend quality time playing and giving attention based on the pet’s needs and energy level. I also keep the home tidy and respect all instructions regarding the pet’s care and environment.
“Ayla took great care of our dog Pretzel! She kept us updated throughout the way and was always so kind with Pretzel, even asking to leave extra water for her before she left! Would highly recommend and will be reaching out to Ayla for more walks in the future!!”
About: Dog walking & sitting was my very first job, and has always remained my favorite. I am a mom to a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles boy but have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including older ones who require medications. I only work very part-time and am looking to make dog walking more a part of my weekly life! They say a job should be what you love doing and I love taking care of doggos. I can make your dog's care a priority, dedicating time and focus on them. I am punctual and trustworthy, and offer clear and consistent communication. I understand how it feels to leave your dog's care in someone else's hands. Sometimes we just have to! I will show up to your home on time, taking your doggo for the exercise they need, and making sure they have ample bathroom and play time.
About: Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. Choosing care for your animal(s) can be a difficult decision. You want them to be in the very best hands while you're away. It's my goal to provide just that! My name is Ashley and I am an animal lover. My own pet sitter calls my house a little zoo. I have four cats, two frogs, and fish! I foster cats and kittens for two local rescues in my free time and get my puppy love through Rover. I am a nursing student and have a flexible schedule. I am located in the McCandless area, near North Park--a fantastic location for walking dogs! Whether you’re looking for someone to offer drop-in visits to check in on your animals while you’re away or would prefer that someone stay with them over night, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to meet your furry (or non-furry!) family member(s) and be their best friend while you’re away. I am currently a nursing student and have a flexible schedule! I am available for drop-ins, walks, or home stays to provide company for your pet(s)! I am able to offer pet care in my client's homes. This enables me to maintain existing routines for your pet(s) in an environment they are already familiar with and comfortable in.
“Jennifer is excellent! She arrives on schedule, communicates her ETA well in advance and takes such good care of my dog. She is reliable, caring and so attentive. My dog was excited to see her each time she came by for his walks. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Kate has been wonderful with walking my boy. She communicates well, is reliable, flexible and all around a good person. Unfortunately we are moving, I can only hope our next walker is as caring & good.”

About: I have shared my life with many dogs, cats, and horses. I’ve have never not had a dog in my home. I understand personally the cherished place pets occupy in the hearts of their families. It would be my pleasure to provide you with peace of mind about your pet’s welfare while you are at work or enjoying your vacation. I drive school bus in the morning and afternoon. I can drop in between bus runs to take your dog for a walk and perform a welfare check for your cats or large animals. I am available to stay with your pets while you’re on vacation, or we can arrange for me to stop in throughout the day instead. I can stay in your home to care for your pets while you’re on vacation.

About: I am a 19-year-old animal lover with over 6 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. My passion for animals started at a young age, and beginning at 13, I regularly walked dogs for several neighbors. Through pet sitting, I have gained experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to horses and farm animals. I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I currently work part-time at my family’s coffee shop, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am often available for early morning visits before work, midday visits after my morning shift (typically around noon), and evening care as needed. I am reliable, responsible, and happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that meets their pets’ needs. I also have a friendly bulldog who loves meeting new people and dogs. If your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, I can bring her along for company during visits. Of course, your pet’s comfort and preferences always come first, and I will only do this with your permission.

Emma has been wonderful over the past few months caring for our cannoli. She’s always reliable, caring, and great with our dog, and we truly appreciate the peace of mind she gives us each week. Today, she went above and beyond by helping feed him and give his medication while he’s been recovering, which meant so much to us. We’re very grateful for all the care and attention she’s shown him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mccandless on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 2,510 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mccandless. 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 Mccandless. 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 Mccandless.

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 Mccandless. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
