Jennifer is always on time and sends pictures of the pups with updates. I like how she responds instantly as well. I can tell the pups enjoy their walks when we come home from work. Thank you Jennifer for what you do!

About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.

Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.

We were very happy with Jasmine. She asked all the right questions during the meet and greet and was happy to take suggestions particular to our pups. We received a photo everyday of their walk with a map of where they went and for how long. Very good. We'll be happy to use her services again.

Anna was lovely and so helpful when we were in a pinch. She walked and played with our two pups daily, arrived on time, and communicated regularly. Anna also went above and beyond what we asked of her. Super happy with the care she provided.

About: I grew up with cats and various small pets and always house-sat for my neighbors and family. I've given medication before and am comfortable with timid animals. I've always volunteered at local animal shelters and cannot get enough animal time! I work from home 6am-3pm, but I am able to work from anywhere as long as there's wifi. I can make drop-ins during my lunch and use the afternoon to hang out for longer periods. I have two large dogs that are timid, so I understand how to introduce myself to a nervous pup. I don't mind cleaning up litter boxes or critter cages and am comfortable giving medications.

About: I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter. I work full-time from home, so I’m here throughout the day and night to care for your pup. My large, secure backyard is always open, giving dogs the freedom to come and go as they please. Access to the backyard is available all day for the dogs and they can freely go in and out as needed. I have a safe and secure home where dogs are allowed on the furniture and in every room of the house. I do not smoke or do any drugs and will ensure the safety, love, and care of your dogs. My home is a quiet, calm, and serene environment.

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was 14. I've been relied on by several people I know to care for their pets and house sit for them while they're away and there have never been any hiccups! More recently I have also gained cat care experience! I am currently in my first year of graduate school and trying to make some money to help get me through! My weekdays are fairly busy but weekends are almost always free to hangout and take of all furry friends! I would be very accommodating to any pets needs and be very sure they stick to their schedule while being loved on. I will be more than happy to abide by any home rules and ensure everything is taken care of!

About: All my life there’s been a dog at my side as a child you could find me bonding with the family pets and to this day my love for animals has never faded. My pet care knowledge directly stems from raising two large rescue dogs working tirelessly to overcome their insecurities, instill proper leash etiquette, and learning how to interpret their body cues. My experience ranges from caring for nervous dogs, caring for senior dogs with canine dementia, and administering oral medications. Of course I can provide meals, exercise, and play a fun squeaky game with your pooch too. My ultimate goal is to provide care with the same love and attentiveness given to my animals whether it’s a drop in, walk, or house sit. Presently working from home which allows me flexibility with scheduling and overall very eager to meet all you loving pet parents. Currently working from home my schedule is flexible the goal is to accommodate you when you need it the most because life happens! Everyday except Saturdays is open for appointments so let’s set up a meet and greet I might be the right fit for your family. Open for early/late morning walks, mid day walks, and or drop ins throughout the day. My hope is to make life easier for you! First and foremost the animals are always my priority, your residence will be treated as my own, and all associated surroundings will be given the respect it commands. Be assured all expectations you set for your fur baby will be executed with empathy, professionalism, and patience. Animals have been a constant within my life for as far back as I can remember rest easy knowing I’m excited to provide care and you’ll have me in your corner when you need it the most.

About: Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of forming close bonds with a diverse array of dog and cat companions. This firsthand experience has given me valuable insight into the unique needs and behaviors of different breeds and personalities. Whether it's providing enriching playtime for energetic pups or offering soothing companionship to shy or senior cats, I understand the individualized care required to ensure their well-being and happiness. My deep connection with these beloved animals has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy needed to properly care for them, making me a reliable and compassionate caretaker for your cherished pets. As a dedicated high school senior, I am passionate about pet care and currently work part-time in a pet sitting role as well as a bather and brusher. I am available from 5:30 am to 6 am and from 11 am to 8 pm, ensuring that I can provide attentive care during the early morning and throughout the day. With a genuine love for animals and a strong work ethic, I am committed to delivering reliable and compassionate pet care whenever needed. When it comes to caring for my own pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness above all else. I provide them with love, attention, and compassionate care, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met. Additionally, I understand the importance of discipline and training, as I have successfully addressed and corrected challenging behaviors through patient and extensive training methods. In caring for other people's pets, I apply the same level of love, compassion, and dedication that I give to my own animals. I am committed to fulfilling every request made by the pet owner, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same standard of care that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it's adhering to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, providing regular exercise, or addressing any behavioral issues, I approach each pet with empathy and respect, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for them. By leveraging my personal experiences and the high standards I hold for my own pets, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of every animal in my care. I am dedicated to building trust with both the pets and their owners, providing peace of mind and a sense of security while they are in my care.

About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.

About: I am currently in college for my veterinary technician associates degree and I have professional experience working with animals through positions at a pet store, a veterinary clinic, and in dog walking and pet sitting. These roles have given me hands-on experience caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m knowledgeable about daily care routines and focused on providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet! I am available on weekdays and on some weekends. I am available all day and some nights so I will have plenty of time with your pets! A fence yard is great for a safe environment for your pup! A good set of instructions will ensure that your pet is getting the exact care they need!

About: Hi, my name is Adi! I am a senior at NMSU studying animal science because I want to be a veterinarian. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends, I have been a volunteer and foster at the Animal Service Center of the Mesilla Valley and I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for a little over three years so I am confident when handling dogs and cats. I attend classes Monday-Thursday and depending on the day my schedule can be very different. However, I am to drop in on pets about three times a day and we can communicate about what times work best for the both of us! I also work Friday 8:00AM-6:00PM and Saturday 8:00AM-4:00PM. I have about an hour to an hour during lunch on Friday to go check on pets and can ask to go check on pets as needed on Saturday. But I will always make your pet(s) a priority, and if their needs can't be met I can assist in finding you another sitter that works better for your needs, I take extra precautions when entering a home with animals to ensure there are no escapees as well as when letting them out to use the bathroom, I keep a very close eye. I also check the environment for any dangerous material before I leave to ensure no fur baby gets into anything while I am away. I also don't let dogs socialize (with other dogs) on walks unless told I can do otherwise.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Picacho

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 162 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Picacho. 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 Picacho. 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 Picacho.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
