About: I have over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and over 5 years as a professional dog groomer, giving me a strong background in animal health, behavior, and care. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and needs. My veterinary background helps me recognize changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong, while my grooming experience has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing loving, attentive, and reliable care! Can also provide nail trims! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to leave during the day as needed, so I can accommodate visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me available for weekend sitting, overnight stays, and longer care needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and keeps them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐾❤ With over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and 5+ years as a professional dog groomer, providing safe, loving, and attentive care for animals has always been a passion of mine! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or simply giving them extra love and attention. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My veterinary background gives me experience recognizing changes in behavior and knowing when something may need extra attention. I’m also comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in experienced, trustworthy, and loving hands! ❤️🐶

“Liz has been great with Vega. It took a couple visits for Vega to be comfortable with Liz as she does not like strangers or people in general! Vega is now letting Liz walk, pet, and cuddle with her!”

About: Hello! I’m Hannah, and I can’t wait to give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable "home away from home." I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. I grew up with dogs and got a dog of my own as soon as I was able to after college. As an avid long-distance runner and outdoor enthusiast, I am the perfect match for high-energy pups who love to stay moving. Whether your dog thrives on long walks or backyard fetching, they will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Of course, I also appreciate the art of winding down—there will always be plenty of couch cuddles and belly rubs after a fun day! I’m currently a stay at home dog mom and can easily accommodate your pet's specific feeding, potty, and exercise schedules to keep their day as stress-free as possible. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into a warm, active, and loving environment! I live in a comfortable home with a fully fenced-in backyard, giving dogs a secure space to play, sniff, and stretch their legs safely. I have two dogs, Willow and Aspen who love to play and make new friends. So your pet will get double the companionship and attention during their stay!

“Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!”

About: I have been a devoted dog owner for over 25 years and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive, personalized care. I prioritize their health and happiness through walks, plenty of love, and careful attention to their needs. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own! I am a stay at home dog mom. 🐶 I love to start and end my day with walking my dog. And sometimes one in between. 😊 I have lots of time to love and care for your dog as well! I have a fenced yard, as well as living across the street from a large park. I take my dog over several times a day to walk and play. I can also crate your dog if needed.

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of puppies. I have 2 puppies and can do basic training. Really good with senior dogs and keeping them safe and healthy. Can give medications or any kind. I am currently in school so it will be after school times. I can come out earlier depending on the day. I would love to work with you and your schedules as well! At your house I will follow your rules and try to take care of your pets as close to the way you do as possible. In my house animals are well taken care of and loved any time we are home and spoiled while they are out with us on adventures.

About: Animals are my love language! I have been a pet sitter off and on for 25 years, raised and cherished an abandon kitten for 18 years, have lots of experience in loving furbabies and sadly, losing furbabies. I have trained my puppies and dealt with senior care in both cats and dogs. I love to play, cuddle, nurture and won’t hesitate to go beyond the standard of care. If your animal is anxious I will spend time with them to reassure them, if they need space I will do that too. I’ve administered meds to both dogs and cats and have extensive experience with quality of life care, anxiety and animal quirkiness. I’m a mom with lots of time to give your animals. Aside from the daily “mom duties” I am pretty available throughout the day and night (no overnights at client houses). If you have an emergency and need immediate care, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I can usually make things work to help you out. I live in a townhome and have a small fenced yard but lots of room to walk around my neighborhood. I have a senior dog who is very friendly and takes on mama duties, especially with puppies. My cat is friendly and will typically stay away from other animals unless she wants to play. While at my house your animals will have free rein downstairs with me but will also have to option to be kenneled if you prefer at times.

About: With my visits you can almost guarantee added services just as a bonus. I don't mind cleaning up, poop duty and liter boxes, I've even ran errands. A bit about me.... I've grown up caring for Cats & Kittens. I have helped deliver liters of kittens. My family has loved dogs too.. especially the big ones 😁 Our first family pup was a beautiful pure white Pitbul who was in need of a rescue home and shortly following was his Brother Dashy who was a Black Lab Pitbul mix. Best two dogs i have ever had the honor of meeting and owning, they both lived to be 14 & 15 and we just recently lost them in 2021 and 2024. We do love our minpin Sadie she's 7 this year and our protection aka Guard Dog!! 😁 and we now have ourselves a beautiful Siberian Husky with beautiful baby blue eyes. We suprised my dad with him @ 8 weeks old to bring up as a companion and some emotional support.. he's 10 months and still growing I just don't do 🐍 🐍 👎 😁 I love going on car rides, finding new dog parks and tossing around toys in the yard. I just got done working Hickory Farms so I don't have a job at the moment. My availability is quite open as I try and find my place in this job world. I clean, babysit, care for the elderly and pets. I currently don't have the ability to have pets at my home. However, special circumstances can be discussed. ☆☆《I'm very patient, tolerant and trustworthy. I don't believe in animal violence or cruelty.

“Nikki was so great to take care of our pup. She even took the time to meet with me to go over things we have been working on in obedience school so that she could support us in helping with training during walks and feeding. It is so great to know our pup is in great hands when we can't be there.”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.

About: I have had the privilege and honor of raising dogs and cats pretty much all my life. I grew up in my younger years on a farm and not a stranger of taking care of all types of animals and pets. I find dogs and cats become more then "pets" they become family (children if you will). I love taking care of both dogs and cats along with spending time with them. I have a dog, his name is Trooper and he is my world. He is a German Shepard with a black lab. I now also live with 3 cats, named Penny, Pepper, and Petunia (Lulu for short). I live with them with my Girlfriend and they are my world. I love spending time with them and showing them much love. I would love to meet your furry companion along with being entrusted with their care and friendship. I find I am a very responsible adult who knows, how to stick to a feeding schedule / walking schedule / or even if it is a quick drop in that you may require of your furry love one. I know how to handle or manage whatever situation that may arise while in my care. As for allowing me to enter your home (if required), I am a very trustworthy individual and will also respect your privacy of both your home and your pet. I am pretty flexible with my time, if given notice and most of the time, can adjust on a moments notice. So if your wanting someone to care of your pet while in your absent and receive updates / photos (when you are missing them) or videos of your pet happy. Please allow me to enter your pets life, even if it is for a brief period of time. As they say; "They may be in our life for a brief period of our lives, but we will be in their life forever". At this time, I am attending school. However, I do have a lot of free time on my hands before and after school, so whatever your schedule would need, we can always work around that. and whatever details or extra instructions that are required, we can work with that also. Rest is sure that your set appointment upcoming appointment or current appointments will have the utmost priority and care. Your pet safety welfare are my top concern with that being said, I can guarantee that you can trust me inside your home and or with the care of your dog or cat or both. Whatever I can do to give you peace of mind that your pat is in great care. We can do also.

About: Walking is one of my favorite pastimes, I just like having company along for it. That same company is also welcome for cuddle time if they are into that kind of thing. We live in a townhouse with a small yard, but pets are never left outside alone or off leash. Ever!!! Safety and supervision are always my priority. I’m trained to communicate clearly and professionally with pet parents and to follow whatever boundaries you set for your pet. I adjust quickly to each animal’s personality and needs instead of treating them like they are all the same. I’m also mindful about reinforcing respectful boundaries with children and other pets when needed. I really see pets as individuals with their own personalities, and I treat them that way from the start. I work full time from home and my husband is unable to work. We are literally always home!! Between the two of us and our children your puppers will be the happiest lil doggo!! Your pet will be treated with the love, care, and attention I give my own. They will be part of the family with plenty of playtime and cuddles with TONS of beds to choose from.

We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!

Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!

Kiana has been a genuine gift to our family. We started with her about six months ago for our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer/French bulldog mix, Lucy — and over that time she became so much more than a dog walker. As Lucy’s health declined, Kiana adapted without hesitation — adjusting pace, duration, and handling — and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cared. You can tell the difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who sees your dog. Kiana saw Lucy. She was patient with her on the slow days, gentle when Lucy needed it most, and flexible with our schedules in ways that took real stress off our family during a really hard season. We’re grateful as a family for every walk she gave our girl. If you have a senior dog or one with changing needs, Kiana is exactly who you want in your corner.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Roy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Roy is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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.

As of November 2026, there are 2,507 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Roy. 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 Roy. 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 Roy 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 Roy. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
