So great to have Kristina look after our pets again. She went above and beyond. Super trustworthy and even took care of a busted fire alarm while we were away to make sure our animals were happy and comfortable.

About: Our dog of 14 years passed in 2024 and our dog of 2 years passed Dec 2025. We arent ready for a permanent new fur baby, but our hearts long to love on yours! Our kids love to run around in the backyard to wear your rambunctious puppies out! We also have experience in administering medications to animals and being gentle to older animals. I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Great Pyrenees, raised puppies from birth, loved senior dogs through their golden years, and cared for rescue dogs with unique personalities and needs. My own family includes four spoiled pups: a 12-year-old Chihuahua, a 12-year-old rescue, and two playful French Bulldog puppies who keep me on my toes every day. They are my babies, and I know that’s exactly how you feel about yours. I understand that hiring a sitter means trusting someone with a member of your family. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and all the little things that help them feel happy and secure. I am taking the summer off before returning to school three days a week this fall. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My own daily routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight care fits naturally into my day. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve rather than feeling rushed between appointments. I treat every pet as if they were my own: with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personalities and routines. I know that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether that’s medication, feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, or bedtime routines, I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, keep a clean environment, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furbaby is happy and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.

About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember! My love for animals came from living with my grandmother, who never went without at least a few cats & dogs in her house. I always give the babies the best treatment that they deserve. Although I have never had professional experience, I am the go-to pet sitter for all my friends and family, and I have two fur babies of my own! I'm open to all animals but I have the most experience with: - Cats of all ages - Small Dogs I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated from college. That said, I have plenty of free time and am willing to work around YOUR schedule. I have two cats of my own and spend pretty much all of my day playing with them, and I keep them on a strict feeding schedule. I will follow any rules that you may have for your own animal, and I promise to keep them on their routine while you're away.

When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we do our best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: From a young age, I've gained extensive pet care experience. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly around animals. My first real responsibility was caring for our German Shepherd in fourth grade, which included regular walks and grooming. Later, during my freshman year of high school, I became the primary caregiver for our Chiweenie, Teddy, managing his daily needs. Additionally, I've cared for friends' dogs and neighbors' cats, including feeding and administering medications, and going on walks! I am a part-time student and also work part-time at the outlets. With that being said, I do tend to have some free time specially since I’m not a full-time worker and I only have to go to class Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 PM to 8:30 PM and the rest of the week. I’m free except for if I’m working part-time for my job, but I definitely do have time to care for your needs and your pets needs! Ensuring the comfort of both you and your pet is my top priority before providing any services. I understand the importance of trust, especially since my own pet can be a bit shy. Rest assured, I'll treat your furry friend with the same care and attention I would want for my own.

About: I want to be involved in dog walking and pet sitting because I have loved dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog from the time I was five years old, and that dog became my best friend. Being around dogs makes me happy, calm, and full of joy. Because of that, I would love to help take care of other people’s dogs too. I understand that owning a pet can sometimes be stressful and time-consuming, and I want to be someone others can trust to give their dogs love, attention, and care when they need extra help. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am currently in college and have gaps between my classes with a lot of free time. Instead of wasting that time, I wanted to use it to do something I truly enjoy. Dog walking and pet sitting are a great fit for my schedule because they are flexible and easy to plan around my classes. I also come home often during the holidays, which gives me even more availability during those times. This makes me reliable and consistent when families need extra help with their pets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I take dogs on walks, play with them, clean up after them, and make sure they feel loved while their owner is away. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, I would love the opportunity to care for yours. Whether you need someone to look after them and love on them while you’re out of town, too busy with the chaos of the work week, or you’re just too worn out after a long day to take them for a walk. . I’m your gal! 🙂👍🏼 For boarding opportunities, I have a huge fenced yard, and lots of space in my house with hardwood floors for easy clean up when pups make accidents. Also I usually drive for uber so I have a very open schedule to be able to give the attention necessary for my clientele. I’m making myself more available on rover app now that I know the holidays are right around the corner and many people need extra help with their furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to help make your life a little less ruff. Hope to meet y’all soon! 🙂 I’ve recently made myself a lot more available to both Wag and Rover apps. Since I make my own schedule, it offers me the ability to care for my clientele and cater to their personal preferences and needs, providing a better experience for your furry friends and you. Every animal I’ve had a chance to be a sitter for has had their own unique situations and needs throughout the day. I understand schedules, health problems, medications, walk times, eating times, etc, change with every client opportunity. I’m able to provide services that make it easy for the animals to adjust to a new place when boarding for multiple days, sticking to their normal every day routines requested by the pet parent.

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs of my own over the years, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, behavior, and what it takes to keep dogs happy and healthy. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable with: • Reading body language and adjusting to a dog’s energy and needs • Maintaining consistent routines (feeding, walks, potty breaks) • Providing both active play and calm companionship • Handling different personalities, from energetic to more relaxed dogs I understand that every dog is different, and I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a small business owner and parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to intentionally build pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m often already out and about during the day, which makes it easy for me to incorporate walks and drop-in visits consistently and on time. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so I can give each dog the attention and care they deserve. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including weekday walks and midday visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and comfortable as possible for your dog. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s walks, feeding, potty breaks, or specific instructions, so your dog feels secure and at ease. I take a calm, attentive approach and make sure they get both the care and interaction they need during each visit. I also prioritize clear communication, so you can expect updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away. If I’m doing a drop-in visit, I make sure your dog is not only cared for, but also gets a bit of extra attention, comfort, and connection during that time.

About: Hi, I'm Dani! I've always believed the world is a little softer because animals are in it. I've spent years caring for pets of every kind through professional pet sitting and my background in veterinary medicine, and somewhere along the way, I realized there isn't much that makes me happier than earning an animal's trust. Whether they're the fearless adventurer who can't wait for a walk, the anxious soul who needs someone patient beside them, or the senior whose favorite hobby is finding the warmest patch of sunlight, I love getting to know them exactly as they are. As a professional photographer by trade, I tend to notice the little things. The happy dance before dinner. The goofy grin after a game of fetch. The slow blink from a cat who's finally decided you're worthy of their friendship. So don't be surprised if your updates include a few frame-worthy portraits along the way. I can't help myself. My priority is never just checking off a to-do list. It's preserving your pet's routine, respecting their personality, and making sure they feel safe, enriched, and genuinely loved until you're home again. Whether that means long walks, muddy adventures, enrichment games, medication schedules, or simply sharing a quiet afternoon on the couch, I'll meet them where they are. I know what it feels like to leave a piece of your heart in someone else's hands. That's exactly why I care the way I do. My hope is simple: that when you walk back through your front door, your pet is happy, your home is just as you left it, and you never once had to wonder if they were being cared for. I'd be honored to love your best friend like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I intentionally plan my calendar well in advance. I balance several freelance roles, so staying organized is second nature to me. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly, which means if my profile shows that I'm available, you can trust that I've set aside the time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My home is intentionally dog-friendly, with a spacious, securely fenced backyard that's perfect for zoomies, exploring, and soaking up the sunshine. We have a doggie door for easy outdoor access, bubble windows built into the fence for the cutest neighborhood watch imaginable, and a wonderful neighborhood filled with peaceful walking trails for safe daily adventures. Even my furniture is pet friendly because I believe dogs should feel at home, not like they're tiptoeing around someone else's. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any house rules you've established because I know those familiar routines help pets feel safe, comfortable, and confident while you're away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - McNeil

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in McNeil on Rover is $13.91 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,268 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across McNeil. 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 McNeil. 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 McNeil.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 McNeil. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
