“Lara is very communicative and easy to work with. One of my dogs is very skittish and slow to warm up with new people, and the other is very large and over exuberant, and Lara has been great with them both. My dogs enjoy her visits and are always quiet and restful throughout the evening when she comes. And I love knowing they're not stuck inside all day. I'll definitely use Lara again.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs extra patience and support, or anything in between, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to treat every animal with the same love and attention as my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. Because I have open availability, I can provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and consistent care rather than rushing between commitments. I’m committed to being dependable, responsive, and making sure your pet receives the time and care they deserve while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I believe the best care starts with earning their trust. I’ll always move at your pet’s pace, respecting their personality, comfort level, and routine while creating a calm, positive environment. Their safety is my highest priority, so I’ll remain attentive on walks, during playtime, and throughout every visit, keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or anxious, I’ll provide patient, thoughtful care that helps them feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Carmen. She came to walk our puppy Larry. She came over to meet him and get an understanding of his needs. She sent updates, photos, and feedback. Shes communicative and friendly. I’d hire her again.”
“Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with! I needed last-minute care for my dog, so I reached out to her around 10pm the night before. I was very grateful for her quick reply at that hour. She happened to be available the next day, which was such a lifesaver. We did a meet & greet around 10am, and later that afternoon she came by to give my dog a short walk/potty break. She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated with detailed messages, which gave me confidence that she understood what was needed. She also sent several videos during the walk which gave me peace of mind. My dog is currently recovering from an injury, so it was especially important to find someone who would be patient, attentive, and responsible. Ashley was exactly that, and I felt relieved knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Ashley is kind, reliable, communicative, and seemed to genuinely enjoy connecting with my pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”

I’m a caregiver for my 95-year-old dad, but don’t count on my father for anything other than potty breaks for the dog. I booked Ashley for the week that I had jury duty so that my dog would get out every day for some good exercise. Jury duty did not materialize, so I was home, but still busy. Ashley came daily to pick up my dog for the time that we booked. He was happy when she picked him up every day, and he was super happy when he got home afterward. Mission accomplished! I know he would be happy to have Ashley walk him again sometime. My dog has a bunch of modes and Ashley was able to pick up the routine. I showed her what works for me to get him into the car or other handling tips. She picked it up quickly, and my dog seemed very comfortable with her.

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 Rices Junction. 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 Rices Junction after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
