About: My home has never been without pets. I currently have 4 loving dogs of my own. They are a mixed breed pack of all ages. I care for one senior dog at the moment. I’ve raised several litters of puppies and found them great homes. I was a preschool teacher before so I know patience better than most. Animals have a big place in my heart. I run a business from home so I have super flexible hours and availability to tend to any and all care needs. Your pet will be my priority. I prefer to care for the pets in their own home and familiar areas. I find this gives them a good sense that nothing is changing and reduces stress for the animal. I am very familiar with crates and crate trained animals. I pay close attention to instructions given for food and medications. I will spend time with them not just drop by for 5 minutes, giving love, attention, exercise(if permitted).

About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers from ages 10-12 (20+). I also grew up working with dogs (Border Collies) on ranches, working side by side on various tasks. Because of my experience and comfort with dogs, I have been dog-sitting for friends and family my whole life. I have some experience caring for cats, including my sisters' and friends' cats (5+ years). I am very active and can exercise or entertain your pet with play or runs. I have rarley met a dog that I wasn't able to build trust with. I am a graduate student whose internship starts on the 27th of July. So I have complete availability then. Outside of that, I am typically free after 5 pm on weekdays and completely free on weekends. I ensure to follow all the rules the pet owner has established. I will use commands and language the dog is familiar with to avoid confusion. I make sure the pets are exercised 2-3 times a day. Cleaned and brushed if needed. I am mindful of water intake and make sure that all pets are kept on their usual schedule.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and believe they deserve kindness, respect, and individualized care. I have experience caring for senior dogs through every stage of life. My dog, Zeus, was with me from the time he was a puppy until he was 12 years old. During his senior years and final days, I cared for his changing needs by making sure he stayed comfortable, followed his routine, and received the extra patience and attention he needed. That experience taught me how important it is to recognize when a pet needs a little extra care and compassion. I’m also able to adapt quickly to different animals, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for a variety of pets and understand that every animal has unique behaviors and needs. Whether your pet has a detailed schedule, dietary requirements, medications, or specific instructions, I’m confident in following them closely to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll always care for them as if they were part of my own family. Your baby is my top priority, so I have a completely open and flexible schedule. I recently left my previous job, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to caring for your pet. Whether you need weekday, weekend, morning, evening, or last-minute care, I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to provide your pet with the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Since my schedule is so flexible, I can focus on maintaining your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for from the moment you leave until you return. Whether I am caring for your pet in your home or spending time with them during visits and walks, I will make sure they are closely supervised, safe, and receiving plenty of attention. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any other specific needs. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while you’re away. I respect both your pet and your home, and I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,054 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nelson. 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 Nelson. 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 Nelson.
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 Nelson. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
