About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom to three wonderful dogs and one cat. My dogs are Smokey, age 7; Javi, age 10; and Molly, age 12, and my sweet calico cat Mazie is 3. Having pets ranging from a playful younger cat to senior dogs has given me plenty of experience caring for animals at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. When they’re in my care, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I’m also comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I also know how reassuring it is to hear how your pets are doing while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether your pet loves a good walk, playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! 🐾❤️ I currently work full-time, but I am transitioning to part-time, which will give me more flexibility in my daily schedule. Pet sitting would be a great addition to my routine, and I’m looking forward to spending that extra time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’ll have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and care based on their individual routines and needs. My kitty is strictly indoors, and my three dogs are mostly indoors as well. They all have their own routines, and since I’ve worked from home for the past few years, they’re used to having someone around and getting lots of attention! I make sure they have plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, and time to relax. I treat my pets like family, and I would give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine care and attention I give every animal. I have experience caring for pets by walking them, feeding them on schedule, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of love and companionship throughout the day. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. I also have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend quality time with pets rather than just stopping by briefly. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule, enjoy staying active, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I enjoy providing them with the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away." I treat every pet in my care like they're part of the family. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise through daily walks, stay on their regular feeding schedule, enjoy playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals growing up and to this day. I’ve always been responsible when it comes to caring for dogs and animals of all sorts.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riceville. 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 Riceville. 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 Riceville 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 Riceville. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
