About: I grew up riding horses and having small dogs around the house, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been dog and cat sitting off and on for the past 8 years, and I've been working in barns and caring for horses for 12. Today, I'm lucky enough to have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets while you're away. I have a bachelor's degree in Equine Science, with Animal Science as one of my three minors. Through my education and years of hands-on experience, I've developed a strong understanding of animal care, behavior, health, and daily management across a variety of animals. I have experience caring for senior pets, anxious and reactive animals, and animals with additional medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure each pet receives the care they need. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk or hike, play their favorite games, or simply curl up on the couch, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I care about getting to know each pet’s personality and routine, so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Their well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated along the way so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I genuinely love animals and feel incredibly lucky to spend my time caring for them. I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and make your time away a little easier! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I can be with your pets whenever is needed. Just let me know when you would prefer me there, and I can make it work! I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they're in my care. I take the time to learn their routines and personalities, follow your instructions closely, and give them the individual attention they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away.

“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.”

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.

About: Pets have been a part of my life since before i can remember. In childhood, we always had a Dog and Cat in the home, and now as an adult my cat Luna is my everything. Cats are definitely my specialty (I’ve been obsessed with them since I was 6), but whatever furry (or sometimes not) friend you have, I believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice their happiness for someone else to watch them. Pet sitting is more than just filling a food bowl. It’s meeting every pet’s specific energy, upkeep, and dietary needs. Im experienced working with picky eaters and more than open to more complex diets or the risk of cleaning up a little throw up, comfortable taking both dogs and cats outside, or just chilling inside to keep anxious babies comfortable. I also have experience administering daily medication for kitties in the past, as well as bathing and grooming both dogs and cats in a pinch. Overall, I want your babies to get the same love they get with you around, because every animal deserves that quality of care. Look forward to working with you and them both! My schedule is very open right now so i have plenty of time to fit in any needs your pets may have. Pet care takes a lot of time depending on an animal’s needs and im willing to provide them that time I am a very thorough person when it comes to care whether in the home or outside. I know what to avoid in terms or hazards and what behaviors to look out for to determine needs. In the home, i will make sure to always be aware of your pet (even if that means laying on the floor while they hide under the couch) and outside i will keep to safe areas and avoid anything that might be hazards (and always be ready with doggy bags, of course).

About: You could say: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, caring for dogs. I’ve had 3 of my own dogs and I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving care. I’d make it sound flexible and reliable rather than just listing your class times: My schedule is flexible around my classes! I’m available Monday and Wednesday before 3 PM and after 5 PM, Tuesday and Thursday before 10 AM and after 6:30 PM, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. For Rover, I’d make it sound warm and reassuring: I’ll create a safe and trusting environment by following your pet’s routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

About: Hello! I have lots of pet care experience. Throughout my life I’ve had many different types of animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, you name it. I think pets are such a sacred thing and are just as important as any other member of the family. I will go to great lengths to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of! I am currently in between jobs so I have all the time in the world to hang out with your pets! It would be just as beneficial to me to get some doggy cuddles. I am available day or night. For sitting in a clients home, I will do whatever is necessary to keep your pets on their comfortable schedule. Whether that’s the dog park, or couch cuddles. I currently live in an apartment but I have a dog park close by and an open court yard just outside my door for potty time if need be.

About: I really try to make pets feel at home. I’ve cared for anxious pups and cats, and seniors, before, so I’m extra tuned in to their comfort and what helps them settle. I pay attention to the little things — their pace, their quirks, what makes them relax — and adjust to whatever they need. I’m patient, gentle, and I do my best to make every pet feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my day. I am a dog-mom myself and my little one, Louie, loves having friends over! I’m able to offer regular potty breaks, play sessions, and lots of companionship. I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, training cues, and downtime — so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of room to explore. I have a large fenced‑in yard, which gives dogs space to play, sniff, and stretch their legs while staying secure. I keep a steady routine with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet rest. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, training cues, and comfort needs so their stay feels familiar and stress‑free. Whether a dog loves active play or prefers gentle companionship, I adjust the pace to match their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routines exactly as you describe them. I respect your space, your rules, and your pet’s established habits. I make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is always the same in any setting: help your pet feel safe, understood, and loved.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also volunteered at animal shelters for several years. As a freshman at the University of Kentucky, I’m excited to continue spending time caring for and getting to know new pets! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care in between classes, after class, and on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m excited to make caring for animals a regular part of my week again! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll follow clients’ instructions, maintain their pet’s normal routine, provide food and water, and make time for exercise, play, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences to make sure they feel happy and at ease!

About: I am currently a small animal veterinarian licensed in both Kentucky and Georgia, but have been in the veterinary medical field since 2009, starting out as a vet assistant. While I have enjoyed helping animals throughout my veterinary career, I have decided to step away from the long, demanding hours of clinical medicine in order to have a better work-life balance so that I can spend more time with my family. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing what I love, which is caring for animals. As a veterinarian, I have worked with all ages and breeds of dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with special medical needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior with more in depth needs, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or help with a pet who needs a little extra time and attention, I'd love to meet you and your best friend! I look forward to helping your pet stay happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a veterinarian transitioning away from full-time clinical practice to create more time for my family, I now have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or medication administration, I can easily build my schedule around each pet's individual needs. Caring for animals has always been more than just my profession, it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is that pet care has always been personal for me, not just a job. I grew up caring for cats and dogs, and some of my favorite childhood memories come from that. I've since fostered puppies and kittens through the humane society and pet sat for friends, family, and their friends' cats and dogs over the years. One example that stands out: I spent three years as the regular go-to sitter for a family's cats whenever they traveled, handling feeding, litter box duty, and plenty of love and attention. I also bring hands-on senior pet care experience: my own dog needed medication, pumpkin mixed into her food, and extra attentiveness in her later years, and I'm also comfortable with things like flea and heartworm treatment. With fostered kittens and puppies, I've helped with soft food feedings and socializing them to be comfortable around people. Whether it's a kitten, a senior, or anything in between, I'm at ease in your pet's home and would love to love on your pet! I recently started working remotely, which makes pet care easy to fit into my day. My schedule is flexible enough for morning and evening walks, plus midday walks or feeds whenever needed. And because I can be home most of the day, your pet gets consistent love and company, not just quick check-ins. I treat your home the way I'd want mine treated: with respect, care, and attention to detail. Between 15 years of pet care experience and 5 years of housesitting, I'm used to following careful instructions; not just for your pet's routine, but for your home too. I know I'm a guest, so I prioritize keeping things tidy and organized. On a recent 10-day stay caring for two cats, that meant watering the plants, bringing in the mail daily, and vacuuming up fur to keep the home as clean as I found it. I've sat in all kinds of spaces (rural, city, apartments, houses), so I can adapt easily to whatever your home looks like, and my goal is always to keep your pet comfortable in the space they already know.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Migrate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Migrate is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 738 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Migrate. 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 Migrate. 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 , 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 Migrate 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Migrate. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
