Alisa was above and beyond the best dog walking experience I could have ever hoped for! My boy Porter absolutely loved her from day one! Alisa is very sweet and very prompt with her responses, and she made me feel at ease with her daily updates and photos of Porter. Thank you so much Alisa, you are absolutely wonderful!!

Carly has walked my three dogs and has pet sit for them at my home. She is amazing and my dogs love her! My dogs are a lot. One is 105lb american bulldog who is mellow, but a lot of dog lol and can be reactive to small dogs. The other one has major puppy vibes and takes a minute to warm up to new people. The third is a chill older dog, but can get a spicy attitude whenever she's inclined. I've left them for 6 days with Carly before. When I came home, my dogs were happy and healthy and no issues. The puppy injured his dew claw and Carly reached out and got him to the vet. He trusted her the whole time! Everything healed great. Highly recommend her. I will be using her in the future too.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!

About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.

About: I’ve taken care of animals professionally since I was 15, and I’ve also cared for friends and families pets since I was 10. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, as well as ones that are disabled or need medication. I highly enjoy being around animals. My pets are my world, and I love meeting new animals and being able to care for them. I recently graduated from college and I’m currently working as I’m waiting for admission into the nursing program. I am looking to do something I love and to help others with their life at the same time. I usually will be working every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from between 5:30am-12:30pm, but morning drop-ins before work shouldn’t be an issue and I can also drop in after work. I’ve had multiple pets in the past. I currently have one cat named Thumper. I enjoy spending time with her and taking her on walks, as she is very curious. She has brain damage as well as very bad anxiety, so she does require more care than normal. She also gets oral medication everyday for her anxiety so she can stay calm and not feel stressed all of the time.

About: Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies learning good habits to gentle senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take time to get to know each one’s unique routine, preferences, and comfort level. I’m skilled at reading animal body language, managing leash behavior, administering basic medications, and creating a calm, safe environment—whether on a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine connection with animals. I treat every pet like my own—with plenty of care, consistency, and cuddles! 🐶🐾 Schedule 🐾 I currently have an open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available for pet care throughout the week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexibility allows me to give your pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve without rushing or distractions. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s routine. Reliability and communication are very important to me, so you can always count on updates and peace of mind while you’re away. 🐶🐱 Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well-attended to at all times. I follow your pet’s established routines closely—meal times, potty breaks, and preferred walking routes—to help them feel relaxed and at ease while you’re away. I’m fully insured for pet care, which means you can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is protected. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, signals, and comfort level, and I’m always mindful of their surroundings during walks or visits. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive experience for every animal I care for—because they deserve nothing less. 🐕🐈💛

I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I have experience with crate training, basic commands like sit, and leash walking. I truly love dogs and animals of all kinds, and I enjoy providing loving, reliable care while owners are away. I’m available nearly full-time and am a part-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule so I can focus my attention on your pets. If allowed, I’m happy to provide basic baths at no extra cost so your pet can go home feeling clean and refreshed. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have pets of my own. I also offer drop-in visits and will always follow your instructions closely while keeping you updated. Thank you for considering my services — I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby!

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Nelson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 413 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:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
