About: I grew up with cats, fostered a border collie puppy in college and have experience training puppies and kittens. I currently have two cats and will hopefully be getting my own dog soon! I have experience with senior care for cats, giving medication, and grooming both cats and dogs. I have a bachelor’s degree, government background checks and am CPR, ACLS and BLS certified. I love long walks and cuddling up with animals! Your furry friend will be well loved and taken care of! 🇺🇸If you are a part of the military family, I have access to base I work part-time so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available on most weekends and am open to regularly scheduled visits. I should be available for most holidays due to the nature of my husband’s job. I am unable to board animals at this time due to having a cat at home. I am available for daily drop-ins for those of you working long hours or for when you’re on vacation. I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch, tug of war, and giving snuggles! Cats definitely have a special place in my heart and I deeply understand their needs.
About: A perfect place for you pups to make friends with our's, and enjoy running around in a safe space. We have a fenced yard for the pups to play and enjoy playtime with each other. We don't have any strict rules about crating. There will always be someone home with the pack. We can also accommodate for pups that need space away from the group. You tell us what accommodations your pup needs and we will make it happen. We have trained all of our pups and feel more than capable of taking care of other pups. All we ask is that you are completely honest about your pup and their needs. The more we know the best care we can provide. With Alexandra, my three being home full time, you'll never have to wonder what your pup is up to. If we need to run an errand we will let you know. We are transparent and communicate well. Our inbox is open! Please Note you will have to provide food for your pet doing the stay and crate if need be. Happy holidays My wife is home full time with my son and can be with the boardings. I am flexible with work and doing house visits or drop in visits I have an acre of land that is fenced for my backyard. I have an extra crate if needed. We often let the dogs out in the house to relax and hang out
“Austin has been an absolute blessing during a time of emergency after I broke my wrist. Whenever I've needed help, he has been there without hesitation, and I truly can't express how much that has meant to me. I have a huge Great Dane, Apollo, who is only a year old and full of energy. Austin has been incredible with him. He is patient, caring, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Apollo absolutely adores him, and it's obvious that Austin genuinely cares about his well-being and happiness. Seriously, Austin is a rockstar when it comes to dog walking. Knowing Apollo is in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. I couldn't be happier with the care and attention he provides. Thank you, Austin, for all of your help and for being so wonderful to Apollo. From both of us, you deserve 5,000 stars! 🌟🐾💙”

“We cannot recommend Cecelia highly enough!! She is wonderful and patient with the dogs and always sends great updates. She is flexible, communicative, and was considerate and adaptable to our changing work schedule. Cecelia is the best!! ??”
“Taylor walked Roxi for almost two weeks while I was out of the country. She worked mostly with my mom, who said she did a great job and was easy to coordinate with. Roxi loved her. Being able to travel without worrying about Roxi meant a lot. I'd book Taylor again.”
“Tia took the time to come and meet my skiddish pup so he would be more comfortable with her on walks. She is the sweetest person and genuinely loves animals. I work all day, so i love getting pictures from her of my pups looking happy and healthy! Will definitely be one of her regulars. She’s awesome.”
“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Chatavia! She is very kind, reliable, and flexible with our needs. She made sure that Noey was always safe and well cared for, and she completed all the tasks during his walks exactly as requested. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We are truly grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 💕”

About: Hi there! I’ve been pet sitting for a little over 10 years, I have also worked at an animal hospital, and I used to work for the Animal Care department in Flamingo Gardens in Florida. I have pet sat all types of animals from dogs & cats to guinea pigs & birds! I love animals and own two cats of my own who are extremely sweet and great with other animals and a dog who is the sweetest girl ever! All my pets are fixed and up to date with their shots. I used to have a wonderful cat who had diabetes and before his days came to an end, I would give him his medicine daily in the form of an injection so I have experience with giving medication if needed. As I said, I love all animals and your fur babies would be in great hands with me. I currently live in a two story home with a fenced backyard. I have two children who love animals and are very sweet with them. I’m at SAHM so I’m always home except for when I need to run errands and pick up the kids from school. If I am not home due to other reasons, my husband will be home. He will be helping take care of all the fur babies too. My home has a big backyard completely fenced for dogs to be able to play outside. As for drop-ins, which I only provide for cats, I will make sure your kitty is fed and has water as well as a clean litter box. I will also play or give your cat some love and pets depending what they prefer.
“Kim is the best! I’ve used her twice and both times, she has went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable and help out any way she can. She even cleaned up a mess in the house. I would highly recommend Kim to anybody seeking a dog walker or check ins. She is great with animals.”
“Carrie is the best! She's great with my bulldog, and he is always excited when she arrives. Carrie sends me tons of pics, communicates any issues thoroughly, and seems to really enjoy spending time with my good boy. 100% will book again, and have also recommended her to friends.”

The average cost of Dog Walking in Rockfish is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per walk.

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 Rockfish. 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 Rockfish 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 Rockfish. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
