About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a while from family pets to neighbors, and friends. I think something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat each dog or cat like my own. I will send updates and pictures to the owner so they know there pet is in good hands. I handle daily feeding, walks, bathing, and of course playtime. I have experience with kittens and bottle feeding them. I also pet-sit for neighbors when they travel, and I make sure every pet gets lots of love and attention. I am overall a responsible and reliable pet sitter! I am currently studying to take my MCAT and that is my full time job so pet sitting fits in perfectly any day thats needed! In my clients home I will follow all instructions given, give the pet attention and care and love, and send updates to client like pictures!
“Liz helped me exercise Chief while my Mom did the overnight watch. I was informed even though Liz’s day job was extra stressful that week, Chief still received more time than I expected. AND Liz gave pointers/lessons to my Mom. I heard nothing but having a happy dog after Chief’s time with Liz. Thanks Liz!!”

I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover with many years of experience caring for dogs and cats. 🏡 A Loving Home Away From Home I provide a peaceful, comfortable home where your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I follow their familiar routines and do my best to make them feel right at home! 🐱 What About My Three Cats? My three cats live in a dedicated sunroom, completely separate from the main living areas.

About: Owned dogs since I was young and I’ve sat for dogs for the last 8+ years. Experience with many different breeds, ages and temperaments. Just a girl with a soft spot for every dog! During weekends I am available all day, everyday and ensure to get multiple walks, potty breaks and playtime dates into the day.

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.

Lauran has been a great help with my granddogs and they love her visits to walk. Lauran has been flexible, communicates well, and keeps the 2 dogs safe and happy. One is a senior dog who needs gentle care. The other young and strong-willed. Lauran handles each in a way that meets their temperment.
Justin walked Linus, our golden retriever, for the week I was away. He did an amazing job! On time, always asked if I would approve a scheduling change, provided daily photos and Linus loved him!! I would recommend Justin in a heartbeat and hope to book him again in the future.
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Fantastic Dog Walker Molly has been incredible with my dog, Draco. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, exercised, and well-looked-after. Draco absolutely loved his time with her, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands each day. Her communication has always been excellent—updates, pictures, and notes that showed she truly cared. Even on busy days or last-minute changes, she was flexible and professional. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she’s done for us. Atlanta is lucky to have her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for everything…you will be missed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Riverwood is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $21 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Riverwood. 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 Riverwood 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 Riverwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
