Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

Kayla was my dog walker for nearly a year and she did a wonderful job! She was always dependable never missing a walk and was so sweet to my pup. I would still be using her if I had not moved away!

About: I have owned several pets in my life, dogs and cats. I have ample experience in caring for and raising said animals. I specifically have a cat currently, Autumn, who I found as a stray in the woods as a kitten and raised her to a healthy state. I am currently working a 4-10's schedule with flexible days. So long as I have two weeks in advance, any day should be okay. On those off days, I mostly stay at home, so your animals will receive plenty of care. I have two cats, of whom I take care of well. Each has their own litter box and I ensure both get a fair share of wet food while also ensuring they don't get overfed. I also ensure to play with them at least twice a day. I have an unfenced yard but am willing and able to walk the dog directly on a leash, my yard is large enough to walk them in the yard itself.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I pay attention to them. As a dog owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and quirks. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Whether your pup needs playtime, companionship, structure, or just someone who understands them, I’ll care for them the way I’d want my own dogs cared for. Basic experience in some training. I’m available after 4 pm most days and all day on weekends. I’ll have more availability starting in July! If you’re interested, ask and I’ll see if I can accommodate! I care for every pet according to their individual needs and routine. In my clients’ homes, I work to keep things as normal as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and lots of companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while their family is away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, whether they’re in their own home or mine.

About: Hi there! My name is Emily, I am 27 and I absolutely adore meeting new animal friends. I’ve been a pet owner since I was a little girl, ranging from guinea pigs to cats to dogs. I personally have five cats and two dogs, so I am no stranger to tending to the needs of multiple pets with a variety of needs. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, so I should be available to help out whenever I’m needed. I am attentive, calm and will provide all of the love to your pet during the time I get to spend with them. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you! As I work from home and I have a flexible schedule, I have been able to peruse pet sitting as well as fostering kittens. Pet care already sits within my day to day, so I’m happy to fit your pets in! I take safety very seriously when it comes to both my own pets and the pets of others. It’s my number one priority to ensure that animals in my care have access to their needs, enrichment and safety!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how I naturally fell into pet sitting through caring for family and friends' pets, which soon caught the attention of neighbors. This journey into pet sitting has deepened my passion for my community. I have experience caring for a diverse range of animals including dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, and pets with special medical needs. I'm also skilled in looking after birds, fish, and chickens, and am enthusiastic about expanding my expertise to include even more types of animals. Whether it's training puppies, providing comfort to senior pets, or administering medicine, my approach is always compassionate and tailored to the specific needs of each pet. I'm eager to bring my love and dedication to more families, helping everyone feel secure that their beloved animals are in caring hands. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as I work from home, which provides the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. This flexibility allows me to tailor my day around the pets I care for, ensuring that they receive attentive and personalized care on a schedule that suits them best. Whether it's multiple walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there for company, I'm readily available to make each pet's day better and brighter while their owners are away. When caring for pets, either in my home or at a client's, I prioritize creating a comfortable and consistent environment for each pet. Before any stay begins, I communicate closely with the pet parent to understand what a normal day looks like for their pet. This allows me to tailor the pet's experience specifically to their routine and preferences, ensuring there is minimal change and maximum comfort during their stay. By maintaining their usual schedule — from feeding times to favorite play activities — I make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible, allowing pets to feel secure and at ease whether they're in their home or mine. This customized approach helps ensure that each pet receives the best possible care while under my supervision.

I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible, I can bring my work to your home too, and stay with your dog for several hours/ days I always am very attentive with any dog I care for, and promise to treat it like my own.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of my own dogs since I was 10, and I have watched friends and family’s dogs during the summers for the past several years! I am available for house sitting, doggy day care, drop in visits, and dog walks, and I can accommodate your pet’s schedule as needed :) I have a three year old Shetland Sheepdog named Bentley that loves to play. He is potty trained and crate trained. He is allowed on the furniture. Our daily routine is going to potty in the morning, eating breakfast, getting a water cookie treat (ice cube), playing with toys in the living room or in his crate if I am gone, going on a walk in the evenings, and getting dinner with additional potty breaks when needed. I would care for your pet as if it were my own! I am also happy to accommodate personal preferences in the care of your pet.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a young child. My grandfather owned chickens, rabbits, geese, birds, dogs, cats and many more that I would help care for. That grew my love for animals into taking care of horses and donkeys as well as traditional dogs and cars. I own a german shepherd myself and a gray tabby and soon hope to get chickens. I would love to give your pets the love I give mine while your away. I have plenty of time to follow whatever schedule you have laid out in your absence. I work from home on my own schedule so I can shift things around as needed. I can give pets medication as directed and feed them on a regular schedule while providing them with adequate play and social time so they get the mental stimulation and physical stimulation they need. I can also safely crate them or put them up in whatever area they are meant to be kept in while unsupervised.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Nickelsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nickelsville. 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 Nickelsville. 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 Nickelsville.

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 Nickelsville. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
