About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 4 year old Australian Shepherd and he is my whole world. I will treat your fur baby with the love, care, and attention that I show my own fur baby. When I’m watching your pet, they will be safe, happy, and have the best time! I currently work full time, but I am available late evenings on week days and all day on most weekends. I am always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I live in an apartment so my dog gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, mental, and physical stimulation throughout the day. I provide a calming, safe environment in my home for my pup, and I bring that same calm and caring energy to every animal I meet.

About: With 11 years of personal pet care experience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle handling, and attention. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, respectful of established routines, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. Pet care is already an important part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making time to care for animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I understand that every pet has its own schedule, so I do my best to work around their established routines. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or some extra companionship, I’m happy to discuss arrangements that work for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, and daily routines. I make sure doors and gates are secured, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment remains clean and comfortable. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I believe communication is essential, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is to give every pet a safe, positive experience while giving their owner peace of mind.

About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own

Holly is wonderful! She is sweet, energetic, and great at communication. You can tell she enjoys what she does! Before the booking she met Mango and me and took the time to understand the little details of her personality. I booked her to take Mango on a walk while I was at work, and she went above and beyond and made sure Mango was fed, hydrated, and thoroughly worn out before going back in her crate. She took plenty of pictures that genuinely showed Mango had a great time! I would recommend Holly to anyone looking for someone dependable and respectful to watch their pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Roanes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 872 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Roanes. 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 Roanes. 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 Roanes 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 Roanes. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
