About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.

About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!

About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!

About: Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats. I have worked with a non-profit rehabbing retired throroughbreads and retraining them for lives off the track, which has given me confidence, patience, and adaptability in handling spirited animals. I am currently working freelance and control my own schedule, so I can customize the level of care required to your needs. I'm happy to care for them at your home or take them on adventures to parks, hikes etc. Depending on your pet's needs, I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, training, boarding, and any other activities they enjoy. My demeanor is calm and patient, able to babysit a senior animal with special needs or entertain the most energetic of birddogs. I have experience in animal training for film and TV and am happy to offer those skills to teach new behaviors if requested.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.

About: I’m experienced with a variety of dog breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes! I have had experience for all my life, growing up with dogs and being the go to dog sitter/walker for all my friends and family. I work a 9-5 so my routine for dogs would be weekends, weekdays morning and afternoon. I’m able to take lunch breaks for mid days walks. Depending on service the dogs get premium care, attention and play. If I’m working I’ll make sure I can either work from home or take breaks so pups aren’t left alone for long. Proper feeding is important to me as some dogs require specific feeding/medicines, and treats. I’ll accommodate to whatever needs you and your pups have!

About: 🐾 Caring for Animals Isn't Just What I Do, It's What I Love! ❤️ Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Over the years, I've had the wonderful opportunity to care for a variety of animals, including other beloved pets and those of family members and friends. Through these experiences, I've developed a genuine love, understanding, and appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every animal. My hands-on experience includes feeding, bathing, walking, pet sitting, and providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I understand that pets are more than just animals they are cherished members of the family who deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. After many years of providing care to animals close to my heart, I'm excited to extend my services to the public. My goal is to offer reliable, compassionate, and personalized pet care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry loved ones are being treated with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would give my own. Whether your pet needs a relaxing walk, a helping hand with daily care, or a loving companion while you're away, I'm dedicated to making their experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. For me, pet care is more than a service it's a passion built on years of love, dedication, and genuine companionship. I look forward to welcoming new furry friends into my extended pet care family and building lasting relationships based on trust, love, and exceptional care! 🐶🐱🐾❤️ I’m currently open during the weeks and the weekends. My schedule has recently changed which allows me to be more flexible. If needing someone that has a flexible schedule I am the gal 💕. I normally try to partake in outings which includes dog store for treats, and then dog parks. If it happens to be an event for dogs would definitely try to participate which is more weeknd based activities. If it happens to be during the week, a causal walk, indoor playing ( providing a level of attention), watch dog tv, nap time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I currently don’t have a job, so my schedule is wide open as I prepare to start college. That means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog who loves having company! Your pet will have space to play and feel at home. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment to make sure they feel secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Nelson is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 4,011 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 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 Nelson 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 Nelson. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
