“Tiffany is fantastic! She arrived on time and took great care of my dogs. She provided photos and communicated during the visit. My dogs were well cared for, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away.”

“Breagha is a friendly pup but with all the recent changes in our lives has become pretty velcro with me. She took to Allie immediately and trusted her enough to trot out across the porch without me. She willingly went out in the yard for a short walk. Allie’s kind gentle personality is a perfect match for a sensitive collie.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".
“Grace works patiently to gain the dog’s trust. Her questions demonstrate true care and concern. She ensures she is walking at the dog’s pace. Grace is professional, kind and considerate. I feel honored to have met her and trust her completely with my dog.”


“My dog has been struggling with severe separation anxiety, and meeting Kaylee has given us hope. When I first reached out, she was incredibly kind and eager to help. At our meet and greet, my dog is usually very cautious and nervous around strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly, which immediately made me feel more comfortable. During the visit, she stayed calm when he became anxious, comforted him throughout the visit, and helped him settle while I was away. I really appreciated her communication and the updates she gave me afterward about how he did. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her and seeing how things progress. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a respectful, communicative, and caring pet sitter.”

About: As someone who regularly helps care for a German Shepherd-Husky mix, I’m comfortable with large energetic dogs and the responsibility that comes with them. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine and preferences. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by treating every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they can feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a clients home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also respect my clients’ home and make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and exactly as they left it.
About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.
About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.

About: I have experience working with animals for over five years. I grow up with a Labrador retriever all my life. I was also a pet sitter for my friends and family when they went on vacations. In addition, I volunteer at my local animal shelter walking dogs. I love animals with all my heart and soul. They give me such life and their Innocence just brings out the best in me. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own because they are just so precious. I have trained several of my pet sitting jobs your basic skills such as sit, lay, roll over and more. They'll have such a good time with me . Can't wait to meet meet them!

About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child, but have had my 3 cats for 13 years now. I recently moved, so I let them live with my mom sadly, I do miss them. Outside of my cats, I have helped walk and care for other dogs the past few years. If you give special instructions on how you would like for me to care for your dog/cat, I will do exactly that since I will be coming to your place and/or walking them. UPDATED AS OF 6/16/26- for now please refer to this update until life gets less busy. I have a 2 year old so I cannot watch your animals at your home at this current time, but I would still love to drop in and take care of them through the day or take them on walks. I can care for them at my home also. The hours listed below are still correct 😊 I work Monday-Friday until 3:30pm, but I can also come before work, take my lunch to let your pups out for a potty break half way through my shift! I always am off on the holidays. I do have every Saturday and Sunday completely free. After 3:30pm on the weekdays I have the entire day to spend with your animals :) I will follow all your instructions you give me for caring for your animals. I will always treat them like I would my own animals!
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from playful puppies to chill senior dogs and independent cats. I make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved, follow their routines, and don’t mind giving meds or keeping things clean. Every pet gets attention, playtime, and lots of love while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. I enjoy starting and ending my day with animals, whether it’s morning feedings, playtime, or evening walks. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I make sure they’re well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or quiet company.

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and animals have always been one of my biggest passions. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue kitten, so I am constantly surrounded by animals and am very familiar with the care, attention, and love they require. My dogs are apartment dogs with a small yard, so we average about 5–6 walks a day. Walking, playing with, and loving on animals are genuinely some of my favorite things to do. My mission is to provide the best care possible for your pet while also making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience caring for puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, administering medications, animal hygiene, and more. I am comfortable around animals of any size, color, or breed, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. When I come to walk, play with, visit, or take care of your animals, I will dedicate my time to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I love being able to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other people peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for. A little about my own pets: I have my Pittie, Bandit, who is 6 years old and a rescue. I also have Koda, my 3 month old Pitbull/German Shepherd mix who is also a rescue. Lastly, I have Loki, my 4 month old rescue kitten. They are my world, and I would treat your pets with that same love and care! I am a full-time online student at ASU, which means I am home most of the time and have very open availability. I am also very flexible and can often accept last-minute bookings I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs! I also walk my dogs very frequently and don’t mind to add more to our walks. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space and beds for playing, sleeping, and zoomies!
About: I am a state certified veterinary technician and also someone who has had a love for all animals since I was a kid. I've been helping all animals personally (and then professionally) for years...actually decades! I treat all fur-babies as I would my own. The unconditional love we receive from our pets is something I treasure and never take for granted. Whether young pups and kittens, or senior dogs and cats, I give them all the attention and love they deserve and crave (especially while their parents/owners are away). My schedule is currently wide open, as I have just moved back to Prospect, KY recently and am looking for the right fit in a veterinary clinic or animal hospital. My schedule is quite flexible, so I can work around yours. With my state certified veterinary technician license I am able to do things that others are not. I can also tell you what may be a start of an ear infection or allergies or nothing at all! I enjoy going to dog parks, taking walks, playing fetch (or keep away haha) but also enjoy the quiet calm time while rubbing bellies and brushing hair. Also dog massages for the senior dogs helps tons with their aches and pains and I more than willing to assist. It actually puts them in a calming trance. Cats and I are a sort of soul mate (maybe it’s the name haha) but I have dealt with watching 5 cats at an owners house and 3 of the 5 had special medical needs that I was more than happy to help! They started booking me a year out ahead of time if they could!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,051 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across River Ridge. 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 River Ridge. 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 River Ridge.
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 River Ridge. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
