About: As well as owning dogs and cats all 24 years of my life, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have been working with rover for a few years now to gather experience loving other family pets as my own. I promise to be a new best friend while you are away from your fur babies! i work third shift four days a week so i have a very open schedule for walks and drop ins. my best times are 9am-noon and 4pm-7pm but i am open to requests at any time:) while walking dogs i ALWAYS keep them on leash. i’m comfortable helping with whatever you need whether that’s just hanging out or maybe brushing your pet:) just ask!
About: I will care for your pet as if it were part of my family: with love, patience, and lots of attention. Open schedule 15+ years experience I have a flexible schedule in the mornings and evenings before 6 PM, so I have enough time to spend quality time with your pet. I currently live in an apartment and know how to manage pet anxiety in a small space, but I've also lived in a house with a park and know the importance of spending energy outdoors for our furry friends.
About: I have raised and trained a few dogs from puppy's through the end of life. I promise I will take good care of your dog as if it were my own. I am recently retired so I do have some time to spend with your pet. I could come to your home and let them out and spend some time playing. Before I leave I'll make sure your dog has food and water and pick up any waste. I held my last job for thirty six years and handled quite a lot of money so I am trustworthy. I rarely get sick so I am always available. If need be I could watch your dog at my house and I do have a fenced in yard.
About: I grew up owning and taking care of many different animals. I always wanted to work with animals in some capacity, so that led me to Purdue University, where I graduated with a BS degree in Business Management and an AS degree in Veterinary Technology. I now work remotely for Purdue as an academic advisor for the Veterinary Technology Distance Learning program! I love animals and am very attentive and knowledgeable. I can administer medications, trim nails, etc. I will give your pets the best care possible! I work remotely (from home or anywhere) and have a flexible schedule for the most part. I can work with you to fit your pets’ needs. I have a big yard, my own crates, bowls, leashes, and toys. I take walks daily and will gladly take your dog for walks and take them out as often as needed.
About: Cared for rescue dogs for 18+ years. Different needs and personalities! Love it! I will give your pet the same unconditional care and love I give my own. I’m retired from my job and have a flexible schedule to care for your pet. Reach out any time. I appreciate the opportunity to care for your pet. My husband helps me. He loves animals and between the two of us, we make sure nothing is missed. I am willing to care for your pet in your home, drop ins or take them for a walk. I can give medicine and feed them. In addition to lots of love and care.
About: I love animals, dogs especially! My dogs are part of our family and my home is theirs as much as it is mine, to include having them warm, cozy, and comfortable (furniture and beds). They get plenty of TLC and safe living conditions. I am completely comfortable with giving medications and treatments. I have a clean home and can provide them with toys and lots of activities including playtime with my dogs. We are always up for a car ride or neighborhood walk weather permitting. Always a lap to lay in, hands free to rub a belly or scratch an ear, or just a cheek ready to be slobbered on with a wet kiss. I LOVE furbabies! I only work part time so I am home alot, they aren’t left alone very often. I live in a great neighborhood for taking walks. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own with a large fenced in backyard. I also have a large crate to use if needed.
About: I have had dogs, cats and other pets for my entire life. I've also spent years volunteering and working with animal rescue societies and shelters. Most importantly I just love pets. I am a full time student, mostly from home. I am home focusing on pet care for the majority of every day. Making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need is my primary focus every day. I have a very walkable neighborhood and plenty of time for as many walks are needed throughout the day. My dog Clover and cat Penny are both very friendly with other animals and also both spayed.
About: I'm just honest. There's no bullshit here, just a guy who likes dogs and wants a job working with em. I've applied at HELP the Animals, as well. We'll see if they accept my application. I take my brother to school every morning before 8, any time after that, call me/text me and we can work out a time you need your dog taken out/played with/watched while you're not there. I do it all, except for taking them to my house, as it is not pet-friendly. I would like detailed instructions, including hour-by-hour time charts if possible. If you have your dog on a medicine, please notify me and we can set a dosing schedule that fits their needs. Baths and whatnot are fun, so don't be afraid to ask me to give them one. If there are any allergies, such as various types of insects or clothing your dog reacts negatively to, let me know as well and I can accommodate.
About: Dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own pups! I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of love, and I’m great at keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Every pet in my care gets the attention and affection they deserve—because I treat them like part of my family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine around my full-time work schedule. I’m available for evening walks during the week and have daytime availability on Wednesdays and Sundays for walks or drop-in visits. This allows me to give each pet my full attention without overbooking or rushing between visits. I plan my schedule to ensure I can provide safe, reliable, and consistent care every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and administering oral medications if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention during each visit. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes or harnesses and monitoring each pet’s behavior and comfort level. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so your pet feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. To me they are like family and should be treated with love. I have 3 of my own that I've had since they were puppies. I'm currently working part time so I'm using my extra time to help others with their fur babies. I'm home most of the time so I can give them extra attention. My back yard is fenced in. I have dog crates available if they need it. Tons of toys and treats too. Clean and bug free home.
About: Experienced dog sitter with a lifetime of caring for dogs of all sizes, from mighty Irish wolfhounds to tiny Chihuahuas. In my own home since a young girl, I had pitbull’s, mastiffs, and Chihuahuas. With a background in veterinary care, I understand the unique needs of hyperactive pups, playful youngsters, and senior dogs requiring extra attention, including medication administration. I am patient and understanding with pets who may have accidents and always ensure they have a clean, comfortable environment. Dedicated to providing compassionate, attentive care, I’ll make sure your dog’s every need is met while you’re away, giving you peace of mind. I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital in Richmond, with availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also offer morning drop-ins, lunch visits, and evening check-ins. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend, who works full-time evening shifts, and none of my pets are with me at this time. There won’t much much traffic going in and out. If you’re interested in having your pet stay with me, please inform me in advance so I can discuss the details with my landlord.

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
“Ashley is an amazing person! She does a wonderful job with my 2 dogs and is very dependable. I know my dogs will have their walk and they love her. She is very communicative and accommodating as well. Always letting us know of any delays or upcoming changes in schedule. We really appreciate her and are glad she is our dog walker.”

About: I have taken care of and been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of, feed, and play with their pets. I have been on rover since the beginning of June 2025 and have had many successful stays with multiple clients and their wonderful pets! I always put the animals needs before my own and make sure the animal is comfortable and content at all times! I am currently a full time student. I go to school in Richmond Indiana. My longest day at school is on Tuesday and I am there for about 6 hours. On Wednesdays I am at school for about 5 hours. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am at school for about 2 hours. I will devote the majority of my time to your pets aside from having to leave them to go to school for a few hours during the day. When I get back from school, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and feel loved by playing and getting their energy out or by cuddling if that’s what they prefer:) I will care for your pet in your home with any and all instructions you give me. I will be willing to clean up any messes that are made. I will feed, bathe, and cuddle your pets! I will make sure they have enough water and always take them outside for potty breaks!
About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.

About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.

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 Richmond. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richmond. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
