About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!
About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry friends for over 10 years. I even take care of cats and dogs professionally as a kennel assistant at an animal hospital! I'm a college student who works short hours part-time (at an animal hospital!), so I can always check in with your pet(s) between classes and before and after work! I can leash walk multiple dogs if needed, crate cats and dogs, and of course play with them for as long as they will have me!
“Analiese has been walking my dogs for the past couple of weeks and they enjoy when she comes very much!! She always includes photos of them too that make my work day go by easier :).”

About: Have had many dogs and cats in a city environment and many in a country environment. Been taking care of them since I could remember! Pretty flexible and open, I work from home. I live with my girlfriend who is also on rover. Just reach out and we can talk about it! I recently moved into a great neighborhood! There are plenty of dog owners in my area so you don’t have to worry about anything, we’re a big community!
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years. I have two pets of my own, so I will make it my priority to treat your pet like family. I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I prioritize being able to let your pet stay where they feel comfortable. That is why I think it’s best for me to travel to your home. I want to try and keep your pet on their normal schedule.
About: I have been involved in animal rescue for 20 years. Animals are my passion. I am well versed in animal behavior. Your animals are my priority. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to properly care for your pet. I am available everyday to serve the needs of your furry friend. I have a secure privacy fenced yard. I have 2 friendly Great Danes. I prefer to keep dogs separate to ensure safety of all dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid and even volunteered at an animal shelter, so I’m pretty experienced when it comes to pet care! As a college student, I know how to juggle school and pet-sitting, so your fur baby will get all the love and attention they need. Whether they’re a playful puppy or a chill senior, I’ve got the playtime, snuggles, and meds covered! Whether it’s early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening snuggles, I’m always ready to give your pet the attention they deserve.

Whether it’s belly rubs on the couch or zoomies in the yard, I’m here to make sure your pet gets tons of love and fun while you’re away!
“Noah was amazing. He accepted the booking last minute very graciously as we had an emergency out of state that left us in a position to leave our sweet pup alone for two days. He took the time to allow Chai to get comfortable with him and took him for a walk each day so Chai wouldn’t feel so isolated. Noah allowed us to handle a family emergency without having the additional worry of our pup.”

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong part of my life. I’ve always had pets in my home and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities, including shy or independent cats and high-energy dogs that love to play and go for walks. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure your pets get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. In my own home, I currently care for two Goldendoodles, a cat, and a 29-gallon fish tank, so daily pet care is simply part of my routine. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there, and I take that responsibility seriously. Cat visits tend to fit especially well with my schedule and offer great flexibility alongside my full-time job, but I also welcome dog visits and would love the opportunity to care for them as well. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy until you return home. I work a full-time job with hours that may vary between 9:00 AM and 7:30 PM throughout the week. Because of this, my pet visits typically take place before work or in the evenings after work. I’m also sometimes able to stop by midday during my lunch break or on my days off, depending on my schedule that week. I do my best to be flexible whenever possible and will always communicate clearly about availability. If your pet has a specific routine or timing needs, feel free to reach out and we can see what works best. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and well looked after while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. During visits, I make sure pets are fed according to their schedule, have fresh water, and that litter boxes or potty areas are clean. I spend time giving them attention, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. For cats, this often includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and some quiet companionship depending on their personality. For dogs, visits can include feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of positive attention. I always respect the client’s home and follow any specific instructions provided for their pet’s care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for during each visit.
About: I have gained the reputation in my neighborhood to be the one to call for any pet needs. I’ve taken care dogs, cats, even chickens and I love every second of it. I am currently a college student and I am taking classes over the summer. I am basically free all the time and I am able to schedule my week around pet care. I have pets at home so I will not be able to bring animals into it. I will care for animals at the clients home, allowing the animal to be comfortable in its own environment.
About: I've had pets my entire life- my family wouldn't be complete without my fur babies! Growing up we've had labs, a very large hound mix, and a golden retriever. I got my own dog, a black lab mix, when I graduated college and had her for 14 years until she passed 1.5 years ago. I adopted a stray American bulldog when my lab was around 3, and had her for about 8 years, until she passed. Don't currently have any pups, but I love them to death. I'm able to feed, water, brush, walk, play with, and even bathe them if needed! Hoping to add more puppy kisses to my life! I'm currently between jobs and looking to do something I enjoy on the side, so taking care of your cute critters is ideal! My daughter is at school all day and I have my own vehicle, so I'm happy to drop by your place and help out while you're away. I'm more than willing to accommodate any needs you may have when it comes to your pets. Please let me know how I can make you more at ease! Whether it's a certain thing you need me to do, sharing your cat or dog's likes or dislikes, or just wanting a check-in with a quick photo of Fluffy, I'll do whatever I can to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!

About: I have been obsessed with pets since I was a little girl. Thanks to me, at one point my family had 6 dogs at one time, a cat, 2 bunnies, and 2 birds. I showed dogs as a young girl and did horseback riding. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I am a Registered Nurse, I work full-time, but I work from home a lot and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I have multiple times during the day that I am free to help out for anyone who needs their pets to be be checked on or let out for potty breaks! I can care for your pets however you would like me to. I know we all have routines and preferences for our fur babies! I’d like to make them feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with puppies, high energy dogs, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I work part time at a dog grooming shop as a bather, I interact with many different dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule as I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible but structured routine. I’m able to balance my job while still making time for pet care during my off days, mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable with planning ahead so I can make sure each pet gets consistent attention, walks, and care without feeling rushed. Even with a part-time job, I prioritize being fully present and dependable when I’m caring for animals. In my client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure pets are safe, supervised, and never left unattended for long periods. I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.
About: My wife and I have had pets for many years. We greatly love animals and would love to take care of yours. We rescued a lab golden retriever mix dog several years ago and had him until he died of old age natural causes. We would love to show your pets the same comfort and care that we was able to give to Gus. Thanks for considering us as your pets care provider. I work full time during the day, but my wife works full time from home and can provide care during the day while I’m gone. We are available to take your dogs for regular walks and give them a lot of personal attention and love while they are in our care We are available full time between me and my wife. Katherine works from home. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your pets. We have a fenced in back yard for them to run and play We also will walk them regularly and show them much attention. By the end of the day they will be ready for bed.
About: Starting from when I was little, I always loved animals. My first dog was my dachshund Holly who I took to 4H training classes, walked, and played ball with. Later in life I attended and graduated with a degree to be a Veterinary Technican. I did my internship here in Muncie at Boyce Animal Hospital and was then hired on as kennel staff before transitioning to a tech position. I worked at Happy Dogs for a couple years in daycare and boarding services. I currently am back at Boyce as an assistant. I have experiences with giving medications to both dogs and cats. I also have a knowledge of general health concerns of both cats and dogs from my experiences with my own animals and the animals I’ve worked with. I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats and would love to get to know your pet family through walks, play, and pets!
About: My name is Tyra . I love pets. My family and I have always had animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, a bird, and even a squirrel. I absolutely adore animals and I’d love to be able to play with and spoil everyone else’s pets as well. I love playing with both cats and dogs. And I love petting them and keeping them busy. I would take them outside when ever they need it and feed them. And I’d be happy to go by any special rules or guidelines you needed me to, whether they were for the pets diet or exercise or anything else you needed. I’m currently a stay at home wife so I’m always available to play with and take care of your precious fluffy and furry little babies. I have an unfenced yard so I have to use leashes. I’m perfectly fine with pets being on the furniture and on the bed. They’re a part of the family.
About: I have adopted several dogs from shelters over the years; all being larger breeds like German shepherds / shepherd mix as well as being both elderly and special needs dogs. This means I have experience in giving dogs medication, and giving them extra attention for any needs they may need. While they have been elderly that didn’t impair them for going out on long walks, or being large strong dogs; making me confident in my ability to safely walk almost any dog outdoors. While I've done a lot of stuff with older dogs that doesn't stop me from being able to keep up with a young energetic pup either! I have also helped out several friends with pet sitting their dogs many times. This has also given me experience in dealing with nervous / anxious dogs and their needs. I work a job that allows me to work from my (or your) home on most days and have no other set obligations. I do not have a job that comes with surprise emergencies, so once I agree to a time, I will be able to make it. You know how to take care of your pet, it's my job to imitate that while you are gone so they can feel safe or less anxious while you are away. With my experience with shelter adoptions, I understand that some pets may need special care and feel up to most such challenges. Honesty is my policy. While I don’t expect it, if there is something I am uncomfortable with, a task or sadly your pet and I aren’t compatible, I'd clearly say so at our first meeting allowing you the time to search for other options.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 619 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Progress. 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 Progress. 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 Progress.
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.

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 Progress. On Rover:
- 81% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
