“Michelle is fantastic. I have a service dog who helps me with daily tasks. I was looking for a dog walker just for the winter months when it's hard to get around in my wheelchair. Michelle put me at ease right from the start by asking all the right questions about the appropriate commands to use before the first walk. The best part is that my dog always returns home fulfilled, tired and content. I'm so impressed that Rover offers experienced walkers, even for someone that has a specially trained dog like myself :)”
About: Hello my name is Stephany Dos Santos and I have both baby sat and walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including Yorkshire, Gold Retriever, Mini Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Chihuahua , and etc. What you would love about me is that with my different experiences I could handle any dog because I treat them equally and also as if they were people. I am available any time of any day and to walk or sit your dog! I am a very funny and energetic individual which makes it easier for me to get along with dogs and run around with them. I would really love to be there when you need me most! Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you! I currently work in a lab, and my schedule is pretty flexible than most other individuals. I am typically at work from between 2 to 4 hours a day. I have the flexibility to leave work whenever I need to and then if I needed to come back I could. Therefore if I am staying over And I see myself being at work for more than six hours a day, then I would just split my day and half and go home and walk or feed whichever animal I’m working with, then head back to work. I currently live in an apartment complex. It does allow animals. There is a large park by my complex, which, if there were a dog with me, I would take them there. In my apartment itself I have a lot of toys and it is a safe environment
“Sara is wonderful with our dog Zoey. She is reliable, friendly, and a great communicator. She walks our dog daily during the weekdays and her service has been a tremendous help so Zoey is happy and comfortable during our long days at work and school. We give Sara our highest recommendation.”
“Magan was the most helpful and amazing dog walker. My dog Vienna loved her, and she was always so happy whenever she got to go out with Magan. Magan was really sweet to Vienna and treated her great! Would recommend 100%”
“Pam is amazing with my dog Mila! She is quick to respond and flexible, which I really appreciate as my schedule varies week to week. Mila runs to the door every time she gets here. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 12! I help my neighbors, family, and friends whenever I can. I love all animals :) I have 4 cats of my own! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday 10:30am to 7pm! I have plenty of time in the morning before work for pet care and after work. I'm not able to host pets at my home, but I bring the same level of care and attention directly to yours. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and all the snuggles your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your fur baby is doing! :)
“Austin has been great with my dog, Jax. He's punctual, communicates well, and takes Jax's needs as an old dog into account, taking it slow with him and giving him breaks in the hot weather!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have one of my own. i’ve been to training classes with my dog. i’ve walked multiple dogs before as well as dog sitting. I work part time in the evening and have time for pets during the day before 3pm! As well as evening visits and boarding on the weekends! I have a good neighborhood and two easy accessible dog parks! I also have access to east transportation to meet you where you need and best fits for your dog!
“Hannah has been amazing with my dog. He’s a bit anxious and she has been incredibly patient with him and is building a strong bond with him. Hannah has been super communicative and has been great to work with all around!!”
“Highly recommend! Jiayi took the time to learn my dog and provide great care for her. My dog was able to relax and unwind with her and I had peace of mind knowing she was being cared for. Jiayi also does a great job with communication.”
About: I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs in addition to raising my own. From daily walks to overnight sitting, I’ve had experience keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their routine. While most of my experience comes from personal care, I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. With a flexible work from home schedule, I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I also live with my family, including my stay at home mom, who is always around to provide companionship and dedicated care for your pet. We treat all dogs like family in our home. Your pup will have a friendly companion - our own dog, who loves having company. Pets are welcome to relax anywhere in the house, including on the furniture, and my dog is used to snuggling on the bed. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, while catering to their individual needs and routines.
About: Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!
About: I’ve always been involved in taking care of my pets growing up. I have learned that building trust with dogs is the most important to grow a great relationship! Recently moved here- I work from home majority of the day as a full time photographer, so I have lots of flexibility to walk dogs when other owners are at work which seems to be really nice! I do not have the right facility to care for your dog at my home, so I am going to stick to drop in visits and walks.
About: I am a cat and dog lover! I have about two years of pet sitting experience. I grew up having cats and now have two of my own that are 2 and 3 years old. I am very reliable, organized, punctual, patient, and flexible. I recently finished grad school and am so excited to have time to get back to pet sitting! My cats are like children to me and I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. My priority is to keep your pets happy and keep you satisfied as a customer! I have a very flexible schedule and can do 30-60 minute drop-in visits or dog walks at any time throughout the day. I only offer drop-ins at this time due to also having my own cats at home. I offer drop in visits in your home where I will feed, clean up after, and play with your pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets entertained while their humans are away and I will spend time doing their favorite activities with them!
“Makayla generously agreed to walk our dog on short notice. She took great care of my 105 lb Great Dane mix, communicated with us very clearly, and was flexible when I needed to swing by to meet a contractor while she was at the house. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,391 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 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 Riley 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 Riley. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
