About: Have looked after animals from Horses, to Dogs, to cats since 15 years of age. I had neighbours in the UK who used to rely on me. And now here in the US. I started out volunteering at an animal shelter in North Wales UK, where I grew up, volunteered at an Equine Therapy centre, where I even received actual training and earnt a certificate. Pet sat for close friends and friends of friends. Have done some dog walking and now work with dogs. I do know how to administer medication if needs be. I’m comfortable looking after any age. And any size. The bigger the better. I do currently work; I work open shifts, which allows me to have more flexibility in my afternoons. I currently own a dog of my own. I would not initially leave mine or yours alone in a room together until tested in small portions. If this was able to happen. Your pet would not be alone and would have a friend whilst I work in the early hours of the morning. Other than that I am very flexible. I have no other commitments besides work. I usually get Sundays and Mondays off, so your pet is guaranteed to have two full days with myself and my own furry companion Doug. Pup cups for the win! Whilst your pet is with me in my own home, I would indeed be keeping your pet on a leash as I do not have a fenced in yard but I LOVE to walk and exercise so they would be getting lots of that as well as extra snuggles and little trips out in the car, so long as they do well with this! My parents live about 15 mins away from myself and have a large fenced in yard where I like to take my fur baby to run and chase after the ball. As long as I had permission to do so, your pet would be able to join in off leash as long as they aren’t clever enough to jump the fence. In your own home I would ask you for a detailed list of instructions. Easy to understand. I can take them for walks, cuddle with them, let them out. Depending on health needs I am comfortable with and do know how to administer medication. I also love to keep pet parents Pupdated and would love to send you pictures of your fur babies’ time whilst you’re away so you know they are safe, well and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.

About: I have, alongside owning pets, cared for many within and outside of my family for 6 years now. I know to care for dogs, cats, big and small. I can only do it mostly on weekends or early mornings on any other day. My days off from my regular job are Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday so if you need anything on those days then I am your gal! We take care of many pets in our home. We have 4 cats, and 5 dogs, one including a standard poodle but they have plenty of room in and outside of the house so they can have fun and roam!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!

About: I work in nursing and I love animals just as I love people I’ve been taking care of animals often on for the past six years. I’ve been in nursing for 10. I love spending time with animals especially my fur babies. I work overnights two days a week in a hospital, so I’m very flexible. It helps because I make my own schedule and I have my schedule out in advance. i also love going on trial walks and dog parks to let the fur babies run off that energy and have fun . I try to stick to a routine and keep them on schedule, of course show them love and affection as well. I keep them safe by being aware of my surroundings, and just interacting with them

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the love I provide for ALL dogs. This is not just a way to make money for me, it’s something I truly enjoy doing and something that brings me happiness! I treat every dog like family, tailoring my care to match their unique personality, routine, and needs — not a one-size-fits-all approach. I currently work part time, so my availability is pretty open depending on my work schedule that week. Pretty flexible so feel free to always message me to work something out! Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I take time to get to know each pet and follow their routine as closely as possible, whether it’s meal times, favorite toys, or special needs.

About: I have a stay at home job where my hours are very flexible. I do have visits with clients that can last 1-3 hours but if I know that I’m caring for your dog I will do my very best to not schedule two visits in a day! I will spend lots of quality time with your dog and make sure it is getting more than enough love and care that it needs! I work in social work, so I usually have 2-3 visits per week that last between 1-3 hours. Other than that, and the other activities I spend my time doing, I will give your dog so much love when I am home! I am rarely ever gone for more than 3 hours at a time. I am available any day of the week on a normal week. I live at an apartment complex, but we are only on the second floor, have a good amount of space, and our complex even has a dog park!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!

About: I currently have 2 cats, grew up with a dog, and have experience with fostering cats and kittens. I'm currently in medical school so I don't have time for a regular job but I am definitely in need of some kind of income to help me out during this stressful period. All my attention will be on your furry children. I am currently studying for an exam so I spend most of my day doing that. I also exercise daily at the gym. All cats will be in my bedroom. It's a large space which also has my two cats. They are up to date on all their vaccines and have no known health issues. Feel free to ask and I will show you the documentation :) I take them to the vet every year and they are friendly with other cats.

About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid in the field/remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young child. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs and cats. I grew up learning how to take care of them anytime my parents were out of town. I have experience taking care of dogs of all types, from young to old, and from big to small. I’m a middle school music teacher, meaning I have a wide open schedule all summer! I’m a teacher, meaning I have the summers off! I’m available to care for your pets while you’re on a summer vacation or if you just need someone to take your dog for a walk while you’re at work. During the summer, I have a very open availability schedule. I have three pets in my home, 2 cats and 1 dog. I am a very astute pet parent, always making sure the areas around the house are clean and safe for them. I take my dog, Percy, on walks often. I am very comfortable taking dogs on walks, crating them if they need to be, and playing with them so they don’t get bored at home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - River Bend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across River Bend. 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 River Bend. 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 River Bend 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 River Bend. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
