“Connor was very responsive, professional, and attentive to detail. He took care of my dog, respected my home, and was good about being on time and taking photos. I was able to leave feeling comfortable, and I would recommend Connor to others confidently.”

About: The hardest part of traveling isn’t leaving home — it’s leaving the ones who don’t understand why you’re gone. 💙 That’s why every visit is about more than food, walks, or playtime. It’s about providing consistency, comfort, and genuine companionship until you’re back. You can count on me: With over 5+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends, I tailor every visit to your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether they thrive on adventure or simply want someone familiar nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Thoughtful updates, photos, and dependable care come standard, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in great hands. Because every pet deserves to feel at home -- even when you’re away. 🐾 🐾 Monday–Friday: Dedicated pet care from 8:00 AM til' Late evening 🏡 Weekends: Strongly flexible for day visits, walks, drop-ins Every Visit: Personalized care, playtime, enrichment, and thoughtful photo updates My Focus: Keeping your pet’s routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible 🐾 Routine Matters: I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines. You’ll receive regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing exactly how your pet is 🏡 Respect for Your Home: I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own — keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. Safety First: Leashes, gates, doors, and outdoor areas are always double-checked, and pets are never left in unsafe situations or unfamiliar environments. 💗 All in all -- Individualized Care: Every pet is different. Whether your companion is energetic, anxious, shy, or a senior, I adapt my approach to what helps them feel most comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since childhood on a farm and in home. I love spending time caring for and spending time outside with them. I am a stay at home mom that likes to stay busy. I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. We part time home school so by hiring us, my kiddos get the experience of working along side me to care for and love your fur babies as a business experience. We have a fully fenced back yard with a doggy door into the backyard. We are an animal friendly home with cats and a bearded dragon. We also are a kid friendly home with three kids under the age of 9.
“Ashley has been fantastic over 3 different trips in 6 weeks I had planned. I was comforted knowing my fur babies were in good hands. She was very reliable and always on time (my dogs know that schedule well)!! :)”
About: Hi ! Welcome to my page! (Meet and greet required before first booking) Im all about transparency and communication! Lot of pictures and updates will be sent! You can call for video as often as you'd like! I don't crate any animals unless it is requested. The puppies have access to the whole house including beds and couches. I respect what you do with your babies at home and I'll do my best to keep the consistency! I goto school in the evenings but I am home the rest of the day. I live a very active lifestyle and your pups will join us in hiking, walks, fetch, park and out door restaurants! Kiddy pool is available if your dog enjoy the water.

About: I have a 8 yr old bichon myself whom I have trained to be an esa. I also have a five-year-old toy poodle mix who is also an ESA. I am the go to person to dog sit for my friends and family. I am very patient and kind and sill give you furry family member all the love they need. I have experience with dogs who need a little extra help in the health department and who are a little bit older. I will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the fur babies. I am gone for about eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday. However, I work very close to home so I can run home to do Potty breaks if need be. Both of my dogs are very different personality wise. Loki loves to play and he’s a very curious dog. He likes to interact with other dogs as well. He may be eight years old, but you would think that he’s still a puppy with the amount of energy he has but he’s not wanting to play. He’s wanting to watch TV and cuddle as for Apollo. He’s very laid-back and chill. He likes to just sleep and play by himself, but he will play with other others. He does have a condition with his eyes where he does not produce the correct amount of tears so I do administer a daily medication for him. I do have a small yard with a doggie door so they have access to outside all day.
About: Hey Pet parents, In need of a sitter for your awesome Pup? Look no further! I’m a lifelong dog lover with just over seven years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I enjoy creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where every pup feels comfortable and cared for — whether it’s during walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time with Rover providing daily care and boarding for pets. My schedule is flexible strictly for Rover but I still appreciate being notified days in advance of any booking changes requested by customers. I have a huge open field right outside of my home so your pup will have access to all exercising and play needs! There’s also a public dog park just up the street (walking distance) for your pup to enjoy and get all of their energy out. As everything your pup would need is already nearby, they’ll return to you with a wide smile and wishes to doggy sit with me again!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!

April was amazing with my two dogs. She was kind and communicative throughout the time I was away. While traveling home, my flight was delayed and she immediately offered to help. The reassurance I had during the stress of travels was much appreciated. Would absolutely have April care for my pups again. Thank you so much!
Brittany is very sweet and caring. She is a great walker and always makes sure my doggy has a full water bowl. She’s very attentive and will let me know if she sees any issues with ghost whether is a skin issue or if the pavement is too hot for his paws. You won’t regret hiring her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Melissa on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,623 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Melissa. 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 Melissa. 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 Melissa.

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 Melissa. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
