Emily is amazing. She came in a time where I was feeling hopeless and she makes me feel so supported ❤️ She’s always so patient with my crazy babies! And she’s so sweet.

About: My name is Allanna, and I've been dogsitting for about two years now! I recently moved back to Shelby, I actually grew up in the area, so I'm very comfortable and familiar with it! I love all pets - dogs, cats, and even the not so furry ones like reptiles (yes, I'll even love your pet spider if you have one ;]) I also LOVE cleaning, so I'm great for house-sitting as well! I'm a part time barista so I have a lot of free time! I've owned my fair share of dogs and cats (currently I have none, sadly) so no worries about love or experience! I love hiking, so I love long walks! Also as a bonus, I'll bake healthy, homemade treats for your pets, or even sweets for you!

About: I have had experience with animals since I was a young child, we have always had animals in our home. In the past 5 years I have had an extensive amount of experience dog/house sitting and love what I do. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to fit in your schedule as well! Currently I have a very open schedule for pet care, so I am open to any routine that fits your schedule! Just let me know what you need! I prefer for there to be a fence at the home for safety reasons but if not I will make sure that your pets receive periodic walks if needed throughout the day and lots of cuddle time!

Brooke did an amazing job! It was our first time using this application and wanted to find someone who our pups liked in the event of being long periods of time or going on vacation. The pups loved her (they’re a tough crowd) and she did wonderfully engaging with them so that they would get excited for their walk. Very grateful to have found her!

About: When I was a kid I would walk my neighborhoods dog. I baby sit my sisters dog often and I had an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) but she passed away in July. I currently still have my 8 year old St.Dane but he can’t do much these days because of how old he is. I’d like to be more active and teach my kids responsibility and hard work. Just looking to help someone in my spare time is all. I had 2 dogs but one of them unfortunately recently passed. We love and spend time with our big guy. He’s my kids best friend.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals as far back as I can remember. I have experience in caring for puppies/kittens, geriatric, and exotic pet care. I am a certified veterinary assistant as well as having 2 years of experience as a kennel technician. I also have experience with special needs animals such as diabetic and paralytic animals. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies! I am also not out of the house much when I am not working so I will have plenty of one on one time with your pet. I have three friendly dogs and one friendly cat that love to meet new friends. I do crate our dogs when no one is home which is very rare and will only be for a couple of hours typically. I have a large back yard but we do not let the animals run loose, they are tethered/leashed when outside. I will be watching and/or walking with them at all times when outside. If I am pet sitting animals in a client’s home I will care for the animal however the client directs me to and in the safest and loving way as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Jessie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and a passion for caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—everything from dogs and cats to reptiles, fish, and hamsters. I have experience pet sitting for dogs/cats of all breeds and sizes, and I pride myself on making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I always keep you in the loop with regular updates, pictures, and texts. Whether it's belly rubs, playtime, or just some quiet cuddles, I’ve got your pets covered! I am in between jobs so have flexible availability. I structure my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they have consistent walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I want to ensure the process is as stress-agree as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, walked or exercised regularly, and given plenty of attention, love, and playtime.

About: I have a 2 legged cat and I’ve had him since he was a baby. He requires a little extra care every day and it’s so worth it. Every night he lays on my lap and makes biscuits and I enjoy every minute of it. I’ve decided to pet sit full time and enjoy loving on as many animals as long as I can. I have several animals of my own, cats and dogs. What better way to make money doing what you love ❤️ I clean out my cat boxes twice a day. After they are fed in the evenings I play with my cats for a while. I put my dogs outside in my fenced in yard to go potty and then I play ball with them. My doodles favorite thing to do! Then I bring them in the house to eat and cuddle on the couch.

About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Poplar Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Poplar Springs on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 825 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poplar Springs. 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 Poplar Springs. 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 Poplar Springs.

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 Poplar Springs. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
