About: I grew up with pets almost all my life cats and dogs mostly. But I've helped friends take care of their pets like cats, dogs and some reptiles. I do my best to make sure I take care of any pets in my care. I'm available all times of the week and weekends. Only times I will not be available as if I have important things that have come to my attention. Such as medical visits and other various important appointments I keep all animals well fed.Make sure they have plenty of time to play.Go on walks and rest with plenty of peting and I make sure any special needs are met for the animals

About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off since I was 12 years old. From Rottweilers to Malteses, I have experience with many different breeds in all sorts of shapes and sizes. I enjoy feeding, socializing, and exercising dogs, even minor grooming such as brushing and nail clipping. I’ve traveled to North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania to care for dogs long term in their residences. I truly care for dogs as they’re such loving, loyal companions who deserve the same love and loyalty reciprocated. I also have 5 years experience of bird care! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m more than happy to discuss your needs. Caring for your pet in your home allows them comfort and a sense of peace that they wouldn’t have in a new environment. I respect your home as I respect your pet! I will always follow your rules and conduct myself in a professional manner. Your pet’s care is my #1 priority!

About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 4 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior & Digital Cinematography through online classes; I am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a rescue part-time, so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds! From anxious dogs to the high energy goofball’s I can handle it. I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at a boarding facility. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If your animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Three people in total live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!

About: Ive worked with animals my entire life from large to small dogs to horses! I can accommodate senior dogs however I work particularly well with those pets who need plenty of stimulation and play time, I’ll work with ANY dog breed. I have one year of experience working in a professional pet daycare so I have no problem cleaning up after them no matter vomit or excrement I got you. And if you need to take your dog to the vet but they’re a little too heavy to get into the car by yourself, feel free to reach out and I’ll help you load them at a discount. Ready any time, whenever or whatever I’m your guy, I assure you I have the time and ability for it. Name a time and I be there 30 minutes ahead of schedule During my time working at a Pet daycare, I was in charge of over 30 dogs including overnight care. This included feeding, watering, cleaning kennels, taking them out to go potty(and picking up after), playing, monitoring for illness, and accommodating for any disabilities such as lack of limb or dry skin. You name it and I guarantee I can accommodate

About: I’ve only ever taken care of my dog Brody, but I am highly understanding and adaptive when it comes to other dogs so working with them while making a side hustle sounds like a dream come true I currently have a completely open calendar, but I am someone who wishes to pursue a dream career so I only ask for patience when it comes to my flexible hours. I do not wish for having client pets in my home due to my own dog ‘s nature of being hyperactive, but I can promise you that as a fellow dog lover, I will provide anything needed to your dog or dogs if needed just simply tell me how you take care of them and I will do the same.

About: One of my favorite things in the whole world are animals, especially dogs. 🐶 I had the most amazing dog, a yorkie mix named Spencer. 🐕 Rescuing him was one of the best decisions I ever made! He was the sweetest, funniest, most adventurous and loyal dog. I rescued him but he truly rescued me. We had 10 years together and I am truly grateful for every moment. I miss him everyday. But I know I gained a guardian angel. 🐶🩵😇 I have always loved dog sitting and taking care of animals. When my dog Spencer passed, taking care of other peoples animals truly helped heal me from losing Spencer. It became a passion and a calling. Pet sitting is one of the biggest joys in my life. 🌄 I love to take care of dogs, keep them safe, spend time in nature with them, and have them enjoy the best life possible! 🏞 I have taken care of 1-5 dogs/cats at a time. My services include house sitting, drop ins, and dog walking.🐕‍🦺 I can do dog feedings and cook for dogs. I am trained in special diets like RMF (rotational mono feeding). I can give and administer treats, supplements, medicine, pills, and injections. I am trained in administering dogs and cats insulin. I have taken care of dogs that had diabetes, kidney problems, and heart issues. I am trained in giving pills, injections, and special diets. 🍲 I can take dogs on trails or dog parks, exercise them with their toys, and anything else that is part of their routine. 🐶🏃‍♀️ I work for Catapult Learning as a Teacher/Tutor. I set my own schedule and my hours are flexible. I also have school breaks and summers off. So I have a lot of time to take care of your precious fur baby 🐶❤️🐕‍🦺 My services are house sitting for your pets. Dogs and cats are the most comfortable in their own home. I will keep the routine you and your family have set for your animals. I will keep your animals: safe, fed, and loved. With lots of cuddles, playing with toys, and exercise. ❤️🐕‍🦺🏠

About: Over the years I have taken care of all sorts of dog breeds. Basset hounds, Labrador retrievers, English bulldogs, Siberian huskies, American Staffordshire terriers, Yorkshire terriers, German Shepards, Australian Shepard’s, while currently being a dog mom for an Australian shepherd myself. I have received great hands-on experience from 4 years of vet-assisting classes, volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, and have been pet sitting and walking for over 8 years, giving me exceptional experience.

When walking, I make sure that if the pavement is too to hot to walk on, to utilize grassy and shady areas for the dog to walk on.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,270 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nichols. 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 Nichols. 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 Nichols 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 Nichols. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
