“Amina was super flexible and squeezed my puppy in her schedule, and on very short notice! She also snapped some cute photos of them outside, he looked like he loved it. So glad i reached out to her will definitely be using her in the future :)”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have around 8 years of pet sitting experience Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I enjoy having pets as part of my day and make sure they receive consistent loving care. I care for every pet like they’re my own! I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away. 🐾❤️
About: I have grown up around animals of all different temperaments, fostered new born kittens, and trained 8 week old puppies. I currently have a 5 year old dog I raised/trained since a puppy and her younger sister. Groups of dogs and also having one on one with them is something that comes naturally to me! Pet care is the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing I do in the evenings. Making sure my animals are happy and well taken care of make me happy. Why not add more puppy love to the day! I have a very friendly, gentle, Australian Shepherd if your dog needs company. I have the ability to take your dog to a park, on a hike, or a walk around the neighborhood. My pets are all fed a strict diet and their exercise mentally and physically are always a priority!
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry family members. I’ve had a variety of different dog breeds — especially those labeled “aggressive.” Because of this, I know every dog has a story and is capable of love regardless of how they’re stereotyped. All animals deserve the same love and kindness as I would give to my very own. I have some experience volunteering at my local humane society & dog sitting for family members & friends. I have no problem tailoring to your animals’ needs and I will treat them with the same love, respect, and adoration that I have for my own fur babies. During the school year my schedule can be a bit hectic with classes and work; however, I can easily move around my schedule and fit in time to care for your pet. If you are willing to be flexible with time, I can easily squeeze you in! If we cannot arrange something, I will be sure to let you know as soon as possible to allow time to find another sitter/ walker. When caring for your pet I expect to find food with instructions (feeding time, how much food, etc.), treats & how many they can have, toys or puzzles, and any other equipment you want me to use when looking after your furry friend. Please do not hesitate to share any boundaries or silly rituals that your pet requires.

I am a recent college grad with a job, so try to get in a couple dog walks a week. Love time outside and dogs!

About: Hi there! I have lots of professional experience caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve worked at several doggy daycares, including Camp Run-a-Mutt, where I became comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. When I lived in Atlanta, I also worked for a professional pet-sitting company for two years. I traveled throughout the city providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all different kinds of pets. I absolutely love animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and would love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! :) I'm currently working as a part-time barista, so I have plenty of time to fit in some pet sitting! My schedule is flexible! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 123 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Raymar. 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 Raymar. 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 Raymar 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.

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
