About: I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, and referrals for years, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and their personality. Dog walking is a particular favorite of mine. I love being outside and active, and I’m especially interested in building relationships with dogs and owners who need a reliable, regular walker. I’m happy to match the pace to your dog, whether that means a good energetic walk or a slower outing with plenty of time to sniff and explore. I also offer drop-ins and pet sitting when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated along the way. Whether I’m seeing your dog several times a week or caring for them while you travel, I want them to be genuinely happy to see me when I arrive. My flexible schedule makes it easy to incorporate regular dog walks into my week, and I’m especially interested in recurring walks for dogs who benefit from a consistent routine and familiar face. I also have availability for drop-ins and pet sitting, particularly in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I keep my schedule manageable so each dog gets plenty of time and attention without feeling rushed. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping in for a visit, or caring for them while you’re away, I try to keep things consistent with their normal routine. For walks, I follow your preferences for pace, distance, routes, interactions with other dogs, and anything your dog particularly loves or needs to avoid. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and want walks to be both safe and something they look forward to. For drop-ins and sitting, I’ll follow your instructions for meals, playtime, medications, sleeping arrangements, and all the little habits that help your pet feel comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how things are going.

About: I grew up with 3 yellow labs, which were treated as my siblings. Later, my husband and I became a dog parents to a beautiful boxer mix for 10 precious years. I work full-time in an office. Pet care would mostly take place on weekends, but there is some availability before or after work during the week. I have a fully fenced yard on an acre lot so there’s plenty of room to play and/or relax to cater to the needs of each dog.

About: I have 24 years of hands-on pet care experience that has shaped how I approach every pet in my care. I've worked in veterinary hospital and emergency clinic settings, which gave me insight into animal health, behavior under stress, and the importance of following detailed care instructions precisely. That clinical background means I understand the nuances of how pets respond to different situations and how to keep them calm and secure. Beyond pet care, my background in health and wellness, private security, and farming has reinforced core values that directly translate to how I work with your pets: attention to detail, strict adherence to procedures, accountability, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously. These experiences taught me that consistency and reliability aren't optional, they're foundational. I have solid behavioral training experience and can seamlessly maintain whatever training regimen your pet is already on, ensuring continuity and progress while they're in my care. I'm comfortable handling multiple pets at once and can manage moderately complex care situations, though I'm clear about my boundaries, I don't take on intense medical/veterinary tasks. What I do excel at is creating a stable, attentive environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in capable hands. I've structured my schedule to prioritize pet care full-time. This means I'm available to work around your needs and your pet's routine. Whether that's consistent weekly sits, last-minute coverage, or flexible arrangements. I'm selective about the clients I take on, so when we're a good fit, I'm fully committed to providing the level of care your best friend deserves I currently provide in-home care exclusively: drop-in visits for feeding and playtime, sitting services, and overnight stays. Because I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I give your pet. I follow your routines precisely: feeding schedules, training methods, house rules, and any special requests you have. Consistency is non-negotiable. Communication is built into everything I do. You'll know what's happening with your pet, and I'm accessible if anything comes up. My background in security and attention to detail means I'm naturally protective, both of your dog's wellbeing and your home. I've completed and cleared my Arizona Centralized background check, so you can have complete peace of mind. I understand that bringing someone into your home to care for your best friend is a significant decision. That's why I take every responsibility seriously, from the smallest detail about your pet's preferences to the security of your space. Your trust is everything.

About: I have lifelong experience caring for both cats and dogs, including rescues, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. I’ve lived with pets my entire life and currently care for my own animals, so I understand how important routines, safety, and trust are. I’m comfortable with a wide range of services — drop‑ins, walks, house sitting, feeding routines, medication (oral), litter box care, crate training, and supporting pets with mobility or confidence challenges. I adapt my care to each pet’s personality. Whether your dog is energetic or slow‑moving, or your cat is social, shy, or spicy, I meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and understood. You’ll always receive reliable communication, updates, and photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. I treat every animal with the same love, gentleness, and attention I give my own. I am a full-time mental health counselor and have a passion for taking care of animals. I am available almost every day of the week and have a flexible schedule! I always keep a sharp eye on any animal to ensure their safety and overall wellbeing are in good spirits. Nonetheless, whether it is on leash or a fenced in yard, your child is in good hands!

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for years. I started pet sitting in high school and have continued through young adulthood, caring for around 50 dogs in my community. Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 3,593 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New River. 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 New River. 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 New River 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 New River. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
