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 have been a dedicated pet owner and animal lover my entire life, caring for both dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for multiple pets, including those adopted, rescued, or entrusted to me by others. At one point, I lovingly managed a household of five pets, ensuring each received attentive, compassionate care. My experience also includes caring for a beloved dog left to me by a close friend, honoring his wish that I provide a safe and loving home. Today, I continue that same level of care by helping my son and his wife with their dogs whenever they travel—my “granddogs,” who I adore. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and genuine affection when it comes to pet care. I am now excited to extend that care to others in my community, offering reliable, attentive support for pet owners who need assistance while traveling or during busy workdays. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your pets—they will be treated like family. I'm currently retired I retired from the federal government working for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters after 33 years of service. I've been enjoying travel and visiting with family and friends and when I'm home I thought I could do some things that I enjoy and help other people that may need or want to travel or just need help with their fur babies 🐕🐾🐈‍⬛️🐈 I currently do this for my son and his wife when they want to travel the world or have business trips with my granddogs 👑🐾😆🐕 For clients that need assistance with pet sitting, I usually love to have an outline of what you prefer so that I can honor the type care that you also provide your pets. I follow an outline when I care for my family's pets when they travel and they provide the list of the vitamins or any quarks or anything that I need to know a timeline and I just try to honor whoever needs care by how they would like the care handled while they are away. The main thing is that I don't want anybody to worry when I'm caring for their pets. You should be able to travel and handle business trips or vacations without worrying if you're not able to take your pet with you that they're safe and well cared for. I also like to make notes daily,if I'm giving vitamins or supplements or anything occurs I want to share. I like to keep track of it and leave that sheet for you when you return.

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. ❤️🐕‍🦺🏠

“Natela is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She's been walking my dog every day over the noon hour, as I am not able to make it home due to work. I come home to a happy puppy each night and I know it's because Natela does such a great job handling her. It's relieving to know that I never have to worry about leaving Natela in charge of watching over my dog and I love the updates and pictures she frequently sends me during their time together. I could tell the very first time that I introduced Natela to my dog that she was going to treat her as if she were her own, which was very comforting to me. I am beyond thankful for the help Natela has been providing me and I look forward to continuing to work with her! ”

About: I’ve been dog and house-sitting since high school, and it’s something I’ve always loved doing! Even when I came home on college breaks, I made time to care for families’ pups. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I work as a barista, so my shifts are short, which means plenty of time to spend with your pet. I often work early in the morning so I can be up for walks, feeding, and play time. I’ll care for your dog with love and attention, following all instructions for both your pet and home to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters. I have experience working with “exotic” animals. There was not a moment in my life I did not have a furry or feathered friends. Hi! My name is Dustin, and I’m a dedicated animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including strong breeds like American Bullies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive reinforcement. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away by providing attentive, reliable, and loving care. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being will always come first with me. I do not board any animals in my home. I know that every animals schedule is different and will follow any special instructions given. I am comfortable taking dogs for walks, car rides (if you are comfortable, of course) and love to play with your fur or feathered babies!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Nichols

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,261 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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 Nichols. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
