About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Stacey was awesome and our pup had an amazing time walking with her. I loved all the pics she sent and she gave thorough notes about each walk. We will definitely use Stacey again!”
“Annalei is so wonderful! She is great at communicating and does a wonderful job to help to keep our dog safe, happy and reassuring us while we are away. We are so happy to have found her, she is such a good match for our dog. Thanks Annalei for being such a great dog walker!”
“Alyssa is wonderful with my pups! She is especially gentle, patient and loving to my super shy pup. We were both thrilled when my shy pup started wagging her tail with Alyssa and now they are BFFs. Alyssa is very responsive, communicative and diligent in her work. Couldn’t be happier…and my pups agree she’s the best!”
“Jeannine was great with my dog, who can sometimes be reactive around other dogs. I immediately felt very comfortable and my dog was a happy girl after her walk. Looking forward to using her again.”
About: Am I a dog person or cat person? Can't choose, I've grown up around both! In fact, throw in bunnies and reptiles too: you name it, I've trained it. I bring a gentle energy to each and every pet, because just like people, they all have different and unique personalities. I'm currently a college student trying to fill time during the summer. My schedule is beyond free, so PLEASE I would be more than happy to take care of your pet. Routines are essential for pets, and I recognize that! I'm experienced in following all different types of quirky directions, so let me know exactly how your pets like it.
“Heyley has been great. She very clearly loves dogs and has experience working with them - our dog Teddy warmed up to her right away. Teddy comes home from his walks tired and happy and we're grateful! Highly recommend - thanks Hayley!”
“Liz is great with my 🐶, even with short notice she was able to accommodate a walk for poppie, she always updates me on how my 🐕🦺 is doing and sends pictures of my 🐕🦺on their walk. Thank you Liz😀”
“Danielle handled our two dogs with great care and we would absolutely trust her with our pups again! She was responsive, kind, and our dogs were happy and tired when we got back.”
“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”
About: I grew up training and showing dogs and come with 9 years of experience in pet care and grooming. I currently do not have any dogs but am looking to offer my experience and care through dog walking and daycare and checkins. When housesitting I tend to vaccum and to some light cleaning to ensure that you are coming back to a clean home after your vacation. Looking forward to meeting your pets. I’m currently working full time but work a flex schedule and am fully available on weekends. I am free for daily walks and pet checkins I can check in with your pet, ensure proper exercise and potty breaks are taken throughout the day and ensure that feeding schedules are followed.
“Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.”
“Katlyn was wonderful and our Golden was so happy with her. She was punctual and communicated clearly with us. Our Golden is large and she handled him so well. We will definitely hire her in the future!”
“a life savior!!! she helped me out when my other dog walker bailed very last minute! she was very responsive and saved me from calling out from work!! thank you thank you so so much!”
“Bethany was awesome me and my husband were going to be away on A trip our Dog Booker was staying home with our parents but they weren’t going to be able to give him the required exercise he needed so we figured we would give a dog walker a go! Bethany should up everyday to our house on time and Booker was always excited to see her! Each walk came with a picture and report which was great! Would definitely use Bethany again!”
“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Metzger
Tyran recently met and began walking our sweet, adorable German Shepherd. Victoria connected with Tyran immediately, responding to his warm, loving, gentle demeanor. She returned from their hour-long adventure happy, wagging, and contentedly tired! She's already looking out the window for him to return for another excursion! Our other dog, Charlie - Victoria's beloved companion - passed away a few months ago, leaving her deeply melancholy. We are grateful to Tyran for being Victoria's weekly companion to give her love and attention, lift her spirits, and take her on new and fascinating journeys!
Kerensa is awesome with pets and people. She gained the trust of my very anxious untrusting pitt mix so much that he was excited for her to come for his walks! She's very intuitive and makes sure your pups are safe and happy and adjusts as needed to make this so. I always know my bestie is in good hands, safe and happy with Kerensa when I have to be away.
Emma took great care of our dog on her drop in visit/walk! Our dog Hoku loves her and was so happy to see her. I trust Emma with my pets and it puts my mind at ease knowing they will be in great hands when we are away from home! She is so dependable, I will definitely continue to rebook her!
Annalei is great at communicating information and responds very quickly to messages. It had been a while since our pup had been walked by someone other than us but our dog recognized Annalei right away from a few years ago and eagerly went on a walk with her. Annalei is very kind and patient and we felt so comfortable (and grateful she came all the way back to our neighborhood) to walk our dog.
We’ve had an amazing experience with our dog walker! She is incredibly communicative, reliable, and truly goes the extra mile every time. Han and Chewie absolutely adore her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. She always sends lots of updates and pictures, which I really appreciate—it makes such a difference being able to see how happy and well cared for they are. While I was away, one of my dogs wasn’t feeling well, and she took extra care and attention to make sure he was comfortable and looked after. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely continue to use her!

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 Metzger. 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 Metzger.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Metzger. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
