About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, birds, hamsters, rabbits and even ducks. Besides the family pets, I had my own dog since he was 4 months and passed at 13 years, my own cat who was the feral barn cat turned domesticated & living with me until she passed at about 14 years and my own horse I had since I was 10 until he passed at almost 39 years old. I have been around all kinds of breeds and ages of dogs, all sizes, and even volunteered at a wolf sanctuary when I lived in NH. Animals are my love and passion. I work from home so I can be available anytime and be home with your fur babies all day. My schedule is flexible so I am readily available anytime. I know each pet is uniquely individual and you know your fur babies best. I follow all instructions explicitly as you set them and give daily updates with pictures. I know how hard it is leaving your pets home while you travel.
“Zoila is very responsible and reliable - plus my lab mixes adore her and look forward to every visit - also she is proactive sending updates and pix, plus updates us if there are any changes or concerns she may notice - all of that is so comforting when we travel/ I strongly recommend her and have years of experiences w dog sitters - she is the BEST!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets when I used to live in Hawaii since I was 15. And would often give them baths, walk them, and feed them. I’m currently part time which means I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets as well as take them on walks or to the park. I’ll often take them on a walk in the morning. I’ll feed them breakfast if that’s in their routine. Play with them in my apartment and then take them out again in the afternoon. I’ll then feed them dinner around 6-7 and then take them out once more.
About: I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere. I work part-time but will definitely make the time to take care of your babies. Other than that I have plenty of time to snuggle, cuddle, or play with your fur babies. My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.
“Erick has been great with Lilith! Last week was our first week with Erick as our new walker and he’s done great getting Lilith comfortable with him. He is great at communicating with me and even is thinking in advance as the temps rise to make sure we have a plan for midday walks this summer! I deeply appreciate him thinking about my dogs health and wellbeing like that!”
About: I've taken care of my own and friends dogs! I love giving dogs the best care and love especially when their owners are gone. Having dogs I know how precious they are and knowing you want them to have the best care and snuggles. I make sure that your mind is at ease while you are away to enjoy your time and your pups get a vacation as well! Getting pictures and notes just to know they are ok is always nice! I am always open to additional requests to put pet parents at ease. I currently work from home full time. So I am available and have plenty of time to play. We also have a very large yard and walking areas. In the summer we have a pool if they enjoy that as well. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep yours company while you're away. They love to run around and swim in our pool. I work from home so I'm at the house to let them out.
About: I have cared for dogs for 25 years, labradors primarily but also small dogs. We currently have a 1 1/2 year old black lab and also a 10 year old Beeshon Poodle. A fully fenced yard and 2 adults that work from home are typically always present. I am a real estate agent so I am home most days. I have 2 dogs so I am dialed into taking care of them on a daily basis. We have a fully fenced back yard, also we are within walking distance to a city park for afternoon walks. I am able to care for your dog without you having to worry at all.
About: My family and I have always cared for animals. I’ve raised cats, dogs, and bunnies who all lived in home. I’ve fostered shelter dogs and found homes for them.

Monday: Open availability Tuesday: Open availability Wednesday: Available before 12pm Thursday: Available after 6pm Friday: Available after 6pm Saturday: Available before 12pm I am an early bird and I also end my day late.

“Ryan has been so good for Betty she adores him. He send a picture always and she seems very happy around him. One good aspect is that Ryan has good communication skills and always notify any change and it has been a pleasure to work with him.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
“Jackson (my cocker spaniel) is VERY suspicious of new people. It takes him a long time before he is comfortable. I let Lawence know this upfront and he assured me that it would be fine. Before Jackson started his walk schedule, Lawrence met up with Jackson and myself to introduce himself. Jackson was still quite suspicious of this new person but was not hostile or mean. Lawrence started walking Jackson and at first, Jackson was hesitant to go walking with this stranger. After about 2 weeks, Jackson knows Lawrence, even knows his car when he pulls up and wags his stub in anticipation of his walk. I appreciate that Lawrence took it slow and let Jackson define the terms of their relationship....LOL.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life, they’ve always been a big part of my world. Because of that, caring for animals feels very natural to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and genuinely caring. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and keeping a structured schedule. I’m used to organizing my day around responsibilities, so things like walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are easy for me to stay consistent with. I genuinely like being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a task it’s something I actually enjoy. My routine and flexibility allow me to give pets the attention, patience, and care they need throughout the day. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I try to adjust my approach to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure both the pets and their owners feel happy and stress-free.
“Kayla did an excellent job with my dog! He has a lot of anxiety and is very afraid of strangers, but Kayla got him to go outside on the first day and they were friends instantly. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
I can’t recommend our dog walker enough! Adrian consistently went above and beyond every single visit. Not only was he always on time, but he also sent a text before arriving. What really stands out is the level of care he provides. He took extra time to clean our dog’s paws after walks, which is something we truly appreciate, especially on muddy or rainy days. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and treats them like his own.
Zoila is very responsible and reliable - plus my lab mixes adore her and look forward to every visit - also she is proactive sending updates and pix, plus updates us if there are any changes or concerns she may notice - all of that is so comforting when we travel/ I strongly recommend her and have years of experiences w dog sitters - she is the BEST!

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 .

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 Murphy. 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 Murphy.

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 Murphy. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
