About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, starting with dog walking when I was 12. I began by walking and caring for two dogs, while also helping care for three cats. I currently have three cats that I have raised since birth, so I’m comfortable with kittens, adult cats, and the patience and attention they require. I’ve also had five dogs throughout my life, giving me plenty of experience understanding different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently work as a bartender and have two part-time jobs, but my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m happy to work with different schedules and make sure your cat gets the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I treat every home with respect and make sure doors are secure, pets are safe, and their routines are followed closely. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been around all sorts of animals my whole life and I have always helped take care of them. I am able to properly feed, exercise and care for any of your dog needs. I have also been caring for horses and learning about animal needs while working at the horse barn. I’m currently a student at IU Northwest and working at a horse barn, but that doesn’t mean that your pet isn’t one of my top priorities. I have mornings free as well as most afternoons. While I take care of your pet I hope to keep a safe and happy environment for your pet. If you let me know of any needs that your animal has. I will ensure that they receive the best care that I can give them.

About: I don’t have much experience with dogs but I am reliable. I did raise my cat from when he was a kitten. Growing up, I had various pets I helped take care of. I’m looking to make some cash to help my family. Your patronage would be appreciated. I’m currently between jobs so I am flexible and have plenty of time to take your dog for a walk! Cats are low maintenance and our cat is staying with my parents now since we have had a baby. I’m simply looking to do dog walks, not interested in pet sitting at this time. I might be open to it in the future.

About: I have experience with walking, house sitting, care of elderly dogs, obedience training, etc. I love dogs both large and small, from Great Danes to toy poodles and have experience with all kinds of breeds in between. Along with house sitting, I am comfortable feeding pets and visiting throughout the day to let them out/play/or walk them or stay the night to watch the house and pets. Besides dogs I am also experienced at taking care of other pets such as small critters (including chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, etc.), cats, birds, and fish. Any special treatment that your pet needs I am willing to learn their needs, such as medication, bathing, etc. I have experience working at a vet so I know how to administer insulin shots and take care of other medical needs. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of! I am in between jobs right now but will be working remotely from home so I have lots of flexibility and plenty of time to spend with your pet. I do not care for pets in my home but will take care of pets in any type of home from houses to apartments to hotels etc. Whatever is requested such as crating, walking, or just letting outside into the backyard I am willing and able to do.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love animals of every kind. I love playing and snuggling with animals and have always loved to care for friends’ pets. At parties, you can usually find me talking to the dogs or cats! After May 31, I will be free all day and will be able to provide continuous care if needed. My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.

“David went above and beyond today. I forgot to update my address in the Rover platform and he went to our old house. As soon as I let him know what happened, he quickly updated the appointment and made his way to our new place. I so appreciate this - my dad is not able to walk my dog and Sam was very happy to see David, since we are repeat customers. I so appreciate his thoughtfulness and care. He is also very attentive and responsive.”

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.

About: Hello, I'm a big animal lover. Life is always better with furry friends! I have pretty much always had a dog most of my life & always consider them family. I was lucky & got to be there when my former fur baby was born. Her mom let me massage her hips & tummy while in labor. It was her 1st litter & she was awesome!! She let me handle all 9 of the babies after she was done delivering so we could transfer all them to a clean bed & to help rotate at feeding time to ensure they all ate. All 9 survived & were healthy!! I was also a "doula" for my mom's cats pregnancy & she let me massage her tummy & handle her babies right away also. It's a blessing to see & be a part of. I would love to provide a safe and comfortable care for your pet while you are away. I used to have birds, cats, fish, been around reptiles & snakes, turtles, I worked at an eagle rapture center in Alaska which is where I'm from. I have a strong belief to only work in something you love so here I am. :-) Your pet will receive the same love & attention as if they were my own & provide plenty of pictures. Before I became a provider for Rover I used the service a few times myself & was very appreciative when I was given daily updates & pictures & want to provide the same for others. It truly meant a lot to me to get that so I know the importance. -Reliable, Safe, Comfortable w/ all animals -Wellness checks -Doggie daycare in your home-Rover doesn't allow me to add this feature/pricing-please ask for free quote -Pet Sitting -Pet Grooming -Walking/Running/Playtime -Pickup/Drop Off for Appointments -Training -Overnight care -Reiki/Massage for pets -I'm more than happy to help w/ some extra house cleaning (additional) so don't be afraid to ask. Have a lot of flexibility currently so grab your spot I usually book fast between pet care services, house cleaning, care giving job, & wtvr else I decide to dabble in. Customized services to your fur babies needs. Each pet is unique & each visit is different & I'll work with you the best I can.

About: Hello! I’m a recent college graduate and a devoted pet lover working from a home office. I offer reliable, flexible, and high-quality care for your furry family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you are away. My Pet Care Experience My passion for animal care is rooted in a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats. I am currently the proud owner of three cats with unique needs: Stomy (my rescued Orange Tabby) taught me patience, Sheba (my Highlander Lynx) keeps me active with high-energy play, and Atticus (my Siamese) taught me the importance of constant social engagement. In addition to my cats, I have extensive experience with dogs. Until recently, I was a dedicated owner to three rescued dogs who passed away peacefully last year. Caring for them, especially in their golden years, gave me deep experience with senior pet care, administering medication, and providing the gentle, compassionate support that older or shy animals need. Whether you have an energetic puppy or a slow-moving senior, I have the hands-on experience to make them feel safe and comfortable. Services & Activities I Provide When I visit your home, my goal is to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. My drop-in visits and house-sitting services include: * Feeding & Hygiene: Adhering strictly to feeding schedules, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and picking up waste. * Enrichment & Exercise: For cats, this means interactive play to burn off energy. For dogs, this includes stimulating walks, fetch, or backyard playtime. * Safety & Home Care: As a pet owner, I am hyper-aware of "door dashers." I practice strict safety protocols when entering and exiting to prevent escapes. I also bring in mail, water plants, and ensure your home is left tidy and secure. * Updates: You will receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My Schedule & Availability Because I work remotely from my home office, my schedule is my biggest asset for your peace of mind. Unlike sitters with rigid 9-to-5 commutes, I have open flexibility throughout the day. * I can easily accommodate mid-day drop-ins, early mornings, or evening visits. * I am available for last-minute requests if your plans change. * I have the time to stay a little longer if your pet seems lonely or needs extra cuddles. I understand that inviting a sitter into your home requires a great deal of trust. I treat every pet I meet with the same affection I give my own crew, and I treat your home with the utmost respect. My schedule: FLEXIBLE I currently work remotely from my home office, providing me with open availability throughout the week. Because I am home-based, I am highly reliable and able to commit to specific time slots that suit your pet's feeding and medication schedule. I have the freedom to step away from my desk to ensure your pets get the quality time and attention they deserve, exactly when they need it. Safety begins the moment I unlock your door. As a cat dad to three active felines, I am hyper-aware of "door darters" and curious paws. I practice a strict "look down before you step" policy and always double-check that doors and windows are securely latched before leaving. inside the home, I keep a close eye on your cat’s health and mood, ensuring they are eating, using the litter box normally, and engaging comfortably. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it—tidy, secure, and peaceful.

Tracy did an amazing job with my dogs! They can be pretty rowdy, but she handled them with patience and care and even helped improve their leash behavior. I’ve noticed a big difference in how well they walk now. She’s reliable, professional, and clearly loves what she does. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - North Hayden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North Hayden. 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 North Hayden. 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 North Hayden 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 North Hayden. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
