“My dog loves Katharine, and my daughter's shy dog also loves her. She did a great job walking my dog: she was very reliable and responsive and made my dog happy. I highly recommend her.”

About: For the last 20 years I've been deeply involved with dog rescue and fostering. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments as well as dogs in need of special care. I am an animal lover through and through and I will make sure your friend(s) will get the loving care they deserve. If your pets have medications that they routinely need I have lots of experience with administering meds and dealing with other health issues. I have a relatively flexible work schedule Monday through Friday, I can do walks and play in the early afternoon most days as well as evenings. Ask me about my boarding service as well ! I currently live with three seniors and two younger pups, I live out in the country and have two homes, on one of the properties there are two fenced areas with plenty of room for zoomies. If you would like to board your friends with me, I am fine with having them out and about in the house when I'm present, but they would most likely need to be crated if left alone. Contact me with questions and I can give you more details.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I currently own 2 dogs, a pit bull and husky. I also have 1 cat. Over the years I have fostered for the shelter and anytime I find a lost animal, I do everything I can to get them home. I really enjoy being around animals and I love to help people anyway I can so it makes it fun. I am not currently working so free most of the time. I have a medium fenced yard and my husband and daughter love all animals. Although we have a newborn, we keep up work with child/pet safety.
“Samantha is awesome! She walked my dog Jake for 3 days while I was out of town for a little weekend get away. She is very friendly, reliable and she sent me pictures each day of Jake on his walks. I felt very comfortable and relieved that Jake was getting some exercise and attention while I was away. I will use her services again in the future. Thank you Samantha ?”


About: I have worked in a mix of animal care, environments, includinga rescue, multiple dog daycare/boarding facilities, grooming, and volunteered at pet shelters. I understand how important exercise can be for all fur babies. I believe a positive and vibrant environment benefits all pets. All animals need attention and I am willing to give them 100% and nothing less than satisfactory. I carry portable bowls, water bottles, snacks, and clean up bags on hand at all times. Expect photo updates of your precious fur babies during walks and boardings. During my time, I learned about appropriately introducing dogs, how to care and attend to every dogs need, and how to interpret their behavior. Your family member will not go without walks, play time, food, water, snacks, kisses, cuddles, and of course loads of love.
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, and really miss having one of my own! Sadly my two childhood dogs have now passed, but I’m looking forward to taking care of your animals. One of my favorite experiences as a kid was taking my dogs on walks, and how excited they would get at just the word walk. Thanks for considering me! I am a full-time RN. I worked 3 12s a week so I’m very flexible. On my days off I am currently only doing homework working on my BSN. So virtually on my days off, I have all time availability! I would care for a pet by making sure they know I’m in their house. I would also be calm and make sure the pet trust me before caring for them. I would never pick up someone’s pet unless told other wise. I would be able to feed, clean after, and take out peoples pets. I would also give walks if needed and whatever else they wanted.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kayla and the incredible care she took with my dog, Pippa! From the first walk, I could see Kayla’s love for animals and her dedication to making each outing special and safe. Pippa, who can sometimes be a bit shy, immediately warmed up to her, and now I can see Pippa’s tail wagging with excitement as soon as Kayla arrives. Kayla’s communication is also top-notch; she kept me updated with photos, detailed notes, and little stories about their time together, which made me feel so much more at ease. I knew that Pippa was in trustworthy hands, getting plenty of exercise and affection. Kayla went above and beyond to understand Pippa’s quirks and preferences, making adjustments as needed to keep her comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your dog with love and respect, Kayla is your person. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she brings and the genuine connection she has with my fur baby. Highly recommend her services to any dog owner!”

About: I grew up around animals and learned early how to care for them with patience and love. My mom has been a pet sitter for eight years, and I’ve spent that time helping her with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and in-home care. Being around pets has always felt natural to me, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is super flexible. I like hanging out with pets in their own space, keeping them company, and making sure everything feels normal and stress-free while you’re gone. When I stay in your home, I focus on keeping things normal for your pet. I handle meals, walks, and hangout time, making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Lifelong pet owner with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Reliable, attentive, and committed to providing loving care! I have two dogs of my own that are my whole world! I’m currently a stay at home wife & dog mom of two! I have very open availability to make sure your pets are cared for & will have everything they need throughout the day/night. I also would have time to go on walks or have play time with your animals to make sure they get all their energy out to have a good afternoon nap! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room for your pup to get some energy out! I have two dogs of my own that love to make new friends. One male 2 years old lab that is a crazy loving little man who will play well with anyone! I have a 6 year old female heeler who is very curious and is happier to sit on the sidelines when her brother is getting to play with others, but if your pup wants to snuggle or get their ears cleaned, she’s your girl! I treat my pups like they’re my babies so I wouldn’t treat yours any differently. I know how hard it can be to find someone reliable or trustworthy to watch your animals so with me you wouldn’t have to worry!
About: I have spent my entire life around animals! As a child, I grew up on a small family farm in southeast Kansas where we raised livestock, rode horses, and loved many family pets. For 13 years, I participated in 4-H which included multiple animal projects including showing horses and training and showing dogs, among others. As an adult, I have surrounded myself with pets. Currently, we have a 3-year old Great Dane, an 8-year old Pit Bull mix that we adopted from a local rescue, and a 12-year old Snowshoe Cat. I have a lot of experience with high-need animals. In November 2023, we had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to my dream dog, a 1.5 year old Great Dane, due to heart issues that he developed. While it was tragic, I did learn a tremendous amount and gained a ton of experience through his intensive care. I would love to share my love of animals with you and take care of your pets. Ours truly are part of our family and yours would be treated the same! I have a full time job but currently work from home so our animals are rarely alone. Working from home affords me a ton of flexibility to care for your pet when needed! We have a large, fenced in yard where I can care for your pet along with two dogs and a cat that would love to keep your pet company! I am happy to also drop in to your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own environment. This is how we provided care to our high-needs Great Dane when he was ill so I completely understand the need to keep your pet home when needed if that is where they are comfortable.
About: Personally I have been lucky enough to have three beautiful cats for the past nine years. As a dog sitter I have enjoyed caring for every type of doggie from Yorkies, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Pit Bulls, Bull Dogs, German Shepards, and Boxers. I never met a dog I didn’t love! I have no problem administering basic medical care to animals as I also am a registered nurse for humans 😊 I enjoy caring for dogs in their home to ensure comfort and access to their care needs. I do have a 5 year old son who would occasionally be with me depending on timing of visits as he is in half day preschool. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! Other than taking my kiddo to half day preschool mid day and some therapy appts my schedule is pretty open. We should be able to work something out that works for you and your fur baby. At this time I will only be assisting in your home due to limitations in my own home with our existing animals. I will do everything to respect your space, privacy, and ensure your animals feel loved and cared for.
“Danielle and Joseph are so wonderful with my puppy! They always take the time to talk to my daughter and I before and after walks! Charlee loves that Danielle brings treats and I’m so happy they help with training her!”


About: I have had pets as long as I can remember! I am a lover girl of animals and being able to take care of someone’s sweet pet while they are away would be an honor! I am an active duty single soldier who loves taking care of peoples animals since I can’t have one of my own long term due to a deployment lifestyle. I have taken care of pet owners pets on post and off post and it’s always manageable! I make sure to ask the owner for all things about the pet and always provide updates. I love to get them exited and happy with playing outside or going on a nightly walk before bed.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and have vast experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, needs, and species. I am very physically active and can provide fast paced walks or runs for the more energetic dogs. I’m very intuitive with animals and am able to adjust my energy to suit their needs and requirements for a more peaceful interaction. I spent about 2 years volunteering at my local dog shelter, as the dog exerciser and obedience trainer, producing excellent results. I was a former Security Forces member in the United States Air Force- attention to detail and integrity are engrained in me. I love picking up pet care jobs on the side whenever I can. I work several part time jobs as a welder, personal trainer, and reiki practitioner. I love having a variety of jobs to do- especially when it involves animals! If I am caring for your pet(s) in your home, they will be very well taken care of. They will receive loads of love and attention and your home will also be in excellent hands. While on walks, I am very attentive and cautious of all possibilities and situations, ensuring that your pet will never get loose or harmed.
About: I am a college student looking for some extra income! I love all kinds of animals and have had pets my whole life. I've owned everywhere from cats and dogs to tarantulas, fish, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, various insects and arachnids, and more, so I am open to helping with any other kinds of animals you might have! I have done pet/house sitting for friends and neighbors quite a bit, so I have lots of experience! I have class and other odd jobs sporadically throughout the day, but I can regularly check in on pets and do some adjusting of my schedule as necessary. Just let me know your pet’s needs and I will see what I can do! I love to spend time with animals and I will gladly meet the needs of whatever pet I am caring for…whether that’s play-time, cuddles or just someone nearby to keep them company! I know that every pet is different and I would like to hear about your pet and do my best to meet their needs for them to be safe and comfortable!
About: I grew up with pets, and have cared for my friends and neighbors pets over the years!

I care for pets as if they were my own! I always send pictures to update you throughout my time with your pets. You can trust that they will receive plenty of playtime, affection and cuddles while you are away! Comfortable and familiar with dietary needs, medical needs such as medication administration, or special training you prefer to use.
“She always did great with my Great Dane! He’s a sensitive boy and he LOVED going on walks with her. She was also super helpful when I contacted her last minute for anything. 10/10 recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riley. 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 your Riley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riley.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Riley. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
