About: I love caring for dogs! I have years of experience looking after different dog breeds and personalities for my family and friends. I'm good at teaching puppies basic obedience and making sure they start off with great habits. I create a safe and loving environment for dogs, giving them all the attention and care they need to be happy and healthy. My friends always count on me because I'm reliable and I genuinely adore animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Although I haven't had much experience with senior dogs, I'm dedicated to learning and adjusting to meet their specific needs. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time, allowing me to be highly flexible and responsive to the needs of pet owners. I am available for boarding on weekends, providing a reliable option for those weekend getaways. During weekdays, I am available before 11 AM and after 5 PM. With prior notice, I can also take time off work to care for dogs during the day. This flexibility ensures that I can provide consistent, loving care tailored to each pet's schedule and needs. When I take care of pets in my home, I make sure to create a safe and cozy environment for them. My medium-sized backyard is fully enclosed with a gated fence, providing a secure space for dogs to play and roam. Inside, I maintain a pet-friendly, clean, and peaceful atmosphere where dogs can unwind and feel right at home. In clients' homes, I always maintain high standards of care and give them plenty of attention. I'll follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pets' routines consistent and stress-free. Whether your pets are with me or in your home, their safety and well-being are my top priority. I treat them with the same love and respect as I would my own pets.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with daily walks, feeding schedules, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with puppies who need extra attention as well as senior pets who require patience and gentle care. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while working Monday through Friday from 8 to 5. I make time every morning and evening to feed, clean, play with, and check on my senior cat to ensure she’s comfortable and well cared for. I’m very organized with schedules and understand how important consistency is for pets, especially seniors. On weekends and during free time, I focus on giving extra attention, exercise, and companionship. Balancing work and pet care has made me dependable, attentive, and committed to providing quality care every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific routines and instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. This includes feeding on schedule, refreshing water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, administering basic care if needed, and providing plenty of playtime and companionship. I make sure the home is kept tidy and secure, and I always monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own home.

About: I have been around many animals throughout my whole life growing up. I enjoy getting to know every animal and understanding how they are emotionally. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I recently graduated and have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule. I have experience caring for my own dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure he feels comfortable and cared for. I enjoy being around dogs and giving them attention, so dog sitting is something I would be happy to make part of my daily routine. Whether at my place or yours, pet care is all about making them comfy and safe! At my home, I stick to their routine for feeding and walks, plus tons of playtime. If I'm at your place, I follow your lead, ensuring your pet feels secure and loved while you're away.

About: I love all animals but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. They are joy to be around their positivity is contagious no matter what your day has been like. They are an intuitive soul and one that believe can be healing in alot of ways. I've had several dogs in my life time and lost some to age and to this day they are still with me. In many ways dogs are that thing that makes our lives so much better and carry memories that one never forgets. That's the thing about them, they become so much a part of you that you don't realize this until they are gone. They are our Friend, and in so many ways our Family. I am currently working from home so I your fur baby will be with me all day. Please bring something they can he comfy with like a pillow, favorite toy , blanket. I have a designated spot in my apartment and my community is fenced & safe, with its own pet area. I also have a beautiful park we can walk through across the street.

About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I live with four dogs, so I understand better than most what different personalities, energy levels, and quirks look like and I meet every pet exactly where they are. I have a background in healthcare and just finished my graduate degree in nutrition, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I take animal wellness seriously. I’m completely comfortable with medications, special feeding schedules, dietary needs, or any specific instructions you leave, following care protocols is genuinely second nature to me. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I know how much peace of mind matters when you hand your pet off to someone. My goal is always to send you home (or to work, or on your trip) feeling totally at ease. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy and personality, not just a checkbox. Drop-ins are never rushed; I stay, I play, I make sure your pet feels loved. House sitting means your home and your pet both get my full attention and care. Expect photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently in a flexible period between positions, so I have a lot of availability right now, including weekends and most weekdays. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with regular clients and their pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your needs are recurring or ongoing! Since I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I’m coming to your pet in their own space, which I think is one of the best things for an animal’s comfort and routine. I treat every client’s home with complete respect and care. I’m experienced with following detailed instructions, administering medications, and handling pets of varying temperaments. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, their routine stays intact, and you get someone with a healthcare background making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away.

About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I absolutely adore animals, any animals! I use to work with my aunt at the clinic she works at helping her care, feed, water, clean and play with the animals that would board there. I also help her with the animals that she fosters. I do lots of research on animals and learn how to handle them and care for them. I am pretty acknowledged with animals. I know different types of breeds and their behaviors and the care they need. I would be an awesome candidate to care for your animals because I would love and treat them as my own and put their needs above mine, it would be a dream to care for any and all of your animals! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am available anytime to help you and your animals! I absolutely love caring for animals and it’s all I want to do! I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I live in an apartment that is fenced in and on the bottom floor so your pet will be very safe! I do home visits as well!

About: I will start by saying I am truly passionate about what I do! I have a genuine love for all animals! Nothing beats the comfort of a home-setting for your pets! I've been fortunate to have met and worked with many different breeds. I understand that different breeds require different care. I am always willing to accommodate for any activities you require for your pets. Extra snuggles? You got it! Extra outside time? No sweat! If you have extra notes for me, having a list is the best way to make sure I cover everything you need! I have always been a huge animal lover! I have two dogs that are my entire world (Halo & Duke). They do very well with other animals! I look forward to meeting you & watching your fur baby! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! Plenty of time to take your dog on walks. I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. If there are any specific needs for your pup please let me know and I will accommodate.

About: Hi! 🤗I am an animal person all the way! All my life, I've had dogs and cats as pets. Mom & I live in a log house that my dad built on 3 acres in McLendon Chisholm. So these house sits are my little stay-cations. :) On our farm we have 6 dogs, 3 cats & 28 goats that we rent out for goat yoga! I have a keen sense of intuition that assists me in meeting all your animals' & plants' requirements when you’re away. Animals always immediately feel at peace with me because I am a well balanced person emotionally and spiritually. I am a loyal, responsible Realtor that loves care-giving & world travel. I also foster animals with Dallas Animal Shelter & a local rescue. I will pamper your pets and love them like my own. When messaging me to meet and plan, please include the time of day you will be leaving & returning, any allergies your animals have, special requirements, & if they need to be crated when I’m not there. I don’t list boarding on my profile because I had a boarder dog almost kill my cat. But I may be open to bringing yours to my house if we all believe it will work. My pack is very accustomed to furry friend guests. Let’s make a play date! Pets find joy in being around humans who appreciate their companionship. I find that the animals in my life adapt to my schedule and a synchronicity is developed between us, even if it’s temporary for a housesit. I am open to interpreting the energy of the needs presented to me by pets and their humans. I am very free spirited and offer daily updates around 10:30AM each morning. However, some humans require more communication several times a day asking about their pets. I try to find a balance in enjoying the day and sending enough communication to the owners of all these sweet creatures! Sometimes when humans have cameras, I think they are watching us anytime they want, so there isn’t as much need for frequent updates.

About: I have a senior dog so he needs to be let out more often and I have to make sure he eats his food. I also have an aggressive dog but he loves our family and really dislikes other people so I have dealt with aggressive and sometimes timid dogs.

I love dogs and animals I care for them like they are my own and give them lots of love so they don’t miss their owners to much when they are gone I make sure to do everything that I am told to do by the owners and also do it at the times that I am told to do it

About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Poetry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 3,428 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poetry. 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 Poetry. 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 Poetry.

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 Poetry. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
