About: Experienced & Trustworthy. Walks, Feeding, Playtime & Lots of Love. Medication Administration (if needed). Your pet will be cared for like family while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am able to plan visits around consistent morning, afternoon, and evening routines. I’m flexible and can accommodate feeding times, walks, and check-ins as needed. I’m also available for weekends and can adjust for special requests. This allows me to provide reliable, consistent care while meeting each pet’s routine. Follow instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest. Provide daily exercise, playtime, fresh water, and clean-up to maintain a healthy environment. Monitor the behavior and health, and give medication as directed if needed. Keep the home safe and clean, communicate updates to humans and provide attentive, loving care.

About: I grew up with a house full of animals, both dogs and cats and still can’t get enough! I even run my dogs Instagram account and make her custom Christmas cards to send to her furry friends each year. I take animal care very seriously and treat other peoples pets as if they are my own (and mine are spoiled). I am currently dog mom to Douglas my nine year old Great Pyrenees! I have experience with blind and deaf dogs that require special care as well as dogs that need special attention for medications and the like. I have also shadowed therapy dog trainers for a period of time as part of a research project for school! love exercise and playing and can keep up with any breed or energy level I have a high patience level so i'm especially good with senior dogs or dogs with special needs/anxiety issues that require more help with their day to day activities. Please note I am unavailable for drop ins/walks after 7pm at this time. I am available most days morning, noon, and night. I’ve watched dogs over Christmas vacations both in my home or doing multiple drop ins at their home! I am very safety oriented I would never put someone’s pet in a position I wouldn’t want my pet in. Walks are always in designated areas appropriate for animals and we avoid busy roads and potential risks such as unleaded dogs which may pose a danger.

I am free to create a regular routine with your pet or just cover down for a short period of time if that is needed. I have no problem getting your pup ready for their walk whether harness or collar. Returning with them i will make sure every paw is wiped and everything is put back where it belongs.

About: My name is Halie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past eight years, I’ve cared for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m a stay at home mom so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pets! They are very social and love to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys. I am also a volunteer at a local animal animal rescue. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and keep their pets while they are gone. I will be sure to send lots of pictures to you, any pets in my care are my babies! I can easily crate any dog if needed. I can accommodate to most of your needs just message me and we can work it out. We have time for lots of play time In my home we have a fenced in yard so dogs will be able to go out as much as they want. They also are allowed to roam the house. In your Home they will be loved just like mine. We can go for walks, cuddle, have some play time and maybe even a ride if they are up to it. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open and I can accommodate most needs. Just message me and we can work the details out. I have a fenced in back yard as well as cameras outside. I usually do not let dogs go outside alone. My dogs are very friendly and I am able to crate dogs at any point. My home is the dogs home. We will do whatever it takes to make them comfortable As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is very flexible and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I’m able to work around your pet’s normal routine and accommodate most schedules and care needs. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a longer visit, regular walks, daycare, or an extended stay, I’m happy to work with you to find what works best. 🐾❤️ In my home, pets are treated like family from the moment they arrive. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely play, get exercise, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. I also have friendly, social dogs of my own who love having company, but I understand that every pet is different. If a pet needs personal space, quiet time, or a break from the other dogs, I can easily crate, separate, or give them their own space so everyone stays safe and comfortable. I also have outdoor cameras and closely supervise pets outside rather than letting them roam the yard unattended. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate time, and any other care instructions you provide. Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I previously helped care for 4 dogs, over 10 cats, and 3 horses, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also have experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for and handled a variety of animals. In addition, I pet sit for my uncle when needed, where I care for his 3 dogs. I recently moved and now have 2 of my cats with me, but I still have plenty of experience from caring for a larger group of animals. I understand how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is currently flexible as I’m in the process of settling into a new area. I’ll be coordinating availability around my husband’s work schedule, but I’m open to dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting when I’m available. I’m happy to communicate and work with pet owners to find times that work best, and I’ll always be upfront and reliable with scheduling. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, and instructions exactly as given. I’m very patient and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.

About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. My focus is always on creating a stress- free experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home so, my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning walks, evening visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pets routine exactly as you outline - from feeding, walks, household rules - so we all feel comfortable and secure. If caring for your pets in my home, they’ll have a family of two cats and a dog plus my animal whisperer husband to love on them. Clear communication is important to me so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.

I understand that every animal is different and requires a different level of care.

About: I have watched many different breeds of dogs since I was 16. Small dogs, big dogs, puppies, seniors. I am now 19 and my love for dogs only grows more and more every time I meet a new one! I also have experience with cats, and love them just as much as dogs. :) I currently pet sit full time, so my days consist of giving my 100% to your pets. I am not currently doing Boardings until the nearer future, but I am still doing, and enjoying doing, Sittings, Drop Ins, Overnight Stays, and Walks! I treat every pet like it is my own and am open to taking care of your pet in any way that it may need. Whether that be with lots of walks, giving medicine, groomings, or baths, I want your pet to feel at home when I am with them. :)

I have a little dog of my own and I am keeping my daughters cat until she gets out of college in December.

Little things like that are just a joy. I think you would see when you meet me in person you will know I would be perfect for your baby.

The absolute best walker to my baby. Unfortunately our schedules do not align anymore but I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my baby. She even taught her some tricks and leash trained her. I will miss her dearly and anyone is lucky to have her to care for their babies.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pumpkin Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Pumpkin Center is $13 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pumpkin Center. 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 Pumpkin Center. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pumpkin Center after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Pumpkin Center. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
