About: Hey, I’m Ridge. I’ve been around animals my entire life and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, starting with my own Schnauzer growing up and continuing through years of helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including pet sitting, dog walking, and daily care routines. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats, fish, and reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and their specific needs. Right now, I help care for three family dogs, along with assisting friends and family whenever they need reliable pet care. I enjoy staying active with pets—whether that’s going to the dog park, playing, walking, or just spending quality time making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently a college student, but I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’ve got a pretty flexible schedule—just let me know what you’re looking for and we can work out the details from there. I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your pets! I provide care by coming directly to your home, where your pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps their daily routine consistent while you’re away. I prioritize creating a calm, secure atmosphere by following your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care schedule as closely as possible. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean and organized during my visits or overnight stays. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pets by providing reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident knowing everything is being handled responsibly while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of multiple animals. I have experience in providing medication as well as dog walking. I’m excited to have the opportunity to love on your fur baby while you are away. I work, but my schedule is flexible enough to fit in regular feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I can adjust visits around work hours, and I always make sure your pet stays on their routine with plenty of attention, clean litter, and love built in. I follow each pet’s routine closely meals on time, fresh water, clean litter boxes, walks or play as needed, and plenty of attention based on their comfort level. I’m patient with shy animals, gentle with seniors, and keep a calm, safe environment for everyone. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel secure, relaxed, and cared for the same way you would.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats and other pets most of my life. I thoroughly enjoy training and playing with them. we are retired so have a lot of time and love to put into our pet friends and treat we them as one of the family. We do not have a fenced in yard but we will lease your dog when out of the house. With 18 acres and two ponds they will have a lot to explore. When not on walks they will stay in the house with us if house broken. if not house broken or at you request, I have a kennel available. We are retired and are at home most all the time so your fur baby will not be lonely in your absence. We're never too busy to give them the attention they deserve. Most dogs enjoy being outside. I do too! I take them for long walks and let them explore all the smells and surroundings. If they want to nap, I don't mind them on my lap. We have a lot of toys for them to play with. We've sensitive to their needs and feelings. We like to send a lot of pictures and updates so their owners will have peace of mind.
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. I have had many different breeds throughout my life. Taking care of dogs are my passion and I hope you choose me to help you out. I am currently doing online classes until July 13th so I will be available for drop-ins 3 times a day and walks 3 times a day. After that I can drop in however often is needed, as reasonable. I am not offering boarding services but I am available to take your dogs on trail walks or long walks in general if needed, I may offer house sitting services in the future.
“Nicole was amazing! I contacted her last minute to walk my pup and she was completely willing to help me out. Copper seemed happy when we arrived home later. I would definitely book her again :)”
“Heather was absolutely amazing! She had great communication from the very beginning and even scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was incredibly attentive and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Nami’s routine and how to take the best care of her while we were away. Throughout our trip, Heather sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She did everything we asked and truly went above and beyond. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nami and treated her like her own. We will definitely be booking with Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!”
About: I have worked and been around animals since I was born. I use to work for a reserve rehabilitator and animal shop owner. I have worked with many breeds of cats and dogs and understand each one can be uniquely different. What works for one may not always work for another. I’m retired navy so I have all day to work with your animals. I can do drop ins throughout the day to check on them to let them out or take on a walk. Pretty flexible schedule. In my home I have a 5 year old husky who has been raised around cats and puppies. He is good at helping correct puppies. He has had one litter of his own pups. I do not have a fenced yard, but can take them on leash in the yard and live in a nice neighborhood to walk your animal. If you want crate training I have a couple already here at the house
About: I love animals. I have lots of cat experience and a bit less dog experience. I love to pet sit for my friends when they go out of town and I enjoy walking dogs for my daily exercise. My favorite thing to do these days is to stay home and watch movies with my cat or my parents’ 3-legged dog. I’m very attentive to the needs of animals to include their safety, cleanliness and health. I’m a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. This means my schedule gives me more days off during the week when compared to a 9-5 job, but my schedule is not the same each week. If we schedule pet sitting in advance, this is what I would prefer. Last minute appointments would be fine too if I am off work for the day. I’m a bit of a night owl so weird hours are fine too. I have a fenced back yard and have hosted puppies before that I was fostering for a local rescue. I have a cat so dog friendly cats are preferred if you want them to stay over at my place. I can also stay at your place if preferred. I have a car
About: I have had dogs most my life. As an adult, I have had 3 pit bulls and a cane corso. Between them, I am very familiar with medical needs, puppies, and elderly dogs. Before children, my husband and I fostered bully breeds. Currently, I have been dog sitting on Rover for over a year. I understand the struggle with finding quality dog sitters that meet your pets needs. I hope I can provide you comfort in knowing your dog will be treated like family when in my care. I am currently available for drop in visits and daily walks. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 boys. Our backyard is about an half an acre that is completely fenced in. I am comfortable with dogs roaming the house and being crated. I have an XL crate in the home that is available to keep your pet safe. There is also a mudroom that can be used for dogs to have their own space if needed. We are an active family that enjoys being outdoors. I am a SAHM with flexibility in my schedule to accommodate dogs routine. I enjoy taking daily walks. We have a fenced in backyard to allow to the dogs to run around and play. With my 2 personal dogs, there is always someone willing to play.
About: I’m super patient and love giving all of the snuggles and cuddles to dogs! I will be what you need while you’re living your best life on vacation I work full time but can do check ins in the morning, on lunch & at night. I am off on weekends so can go during the weekend any time as well. I’m not currently offering boarding services. I’m only doing dog walking and in home check ins. So so so so so so so so sorry!
About: I really love animals, big and small, long and short haired, high energy and low energy, cats, dogs, reptiles and all. Whatever friend you have, I am more than glad to help you make sure they are given the time and love they deserve. I am off for the summer and very excited to spend time with your loved pets. I should be free during the week days in the summer. If you go on vacation or want to do something away from the house, you can be sure your pets will still be loved on and taken well care of. I will keep pets in my sight, and tend to their needs and wants to the best of my ability. I will make sure they have been fed, take walks, bathroom breaks, and are given lots of love.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for dogs. I had a dog named Bella who was part of my family for 10 years, which taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding a dog’s needs at every stage of life. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, or extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time and looking to watching and walking your pets.Im available to help anytime during the week and weekends when i’m needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home is kept clean and that any specific instructions from the owner are followed carefully. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I’m the type of person that if I see someone handing out free puppies or if I see a lost dog, I’ll be taking them home. I’ve always had such empathy for animals, that on multiple occasions I have done this. For example, last year there was a man handing out free puppies outside of a petco. I almost immediately took him home. The feeling of taking him and giving him a bath, food, and water was so rewarding. I’ve since realized I love working with animals and wish to continue my work. I would absolutely love to help you out with watching your pet while you’re away. I’m currently a college student. I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesday’s, but anytime after class I’ll be able to dedicate my time to your pet. In my home, I have one dog of my own, and I have a fenced in yard. My dog loves to swim, so if yours does too I’m happy to watch them while they swim. I’ve had a lot of experience with crates so I’m equipped to handle them. No matter what, I just want your pet to be safe and comfortable while you’re away!
“Devin was very polite and willing to work with me to find a time that was good for both of us. She took care of my young puppy, provided pictures, and sent me updates on how things went afterward. Highly recommended!”
“Liliana is so great with my Husky! She is super flexible with my busy schedule which I really appreciate. She is dependable and treats him with care! He loves seeing her! She sends lots of pics and takes him on great walks.”
“My dog Kobe is a high energy breed who needs his speed walks everyday. When I am sick or away, I needed to find someone who can give him the high energy walks he needs and I found that perfect person in Darya! I have used her three times already and already booked her for three more. Kobe comes home happy, excited and tired all in one. Darya has exceeded my expectations!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 430 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Phinizy. 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 Phinizy. 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 Phinizy.
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 Phinizy. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
