“Michaela is wonderful and our dog Jack loves her. Jack usually barks at new people, but the first time he met Michaela, he went all doe-eyed. Jack also has a number of funny habits that some walkers might be very impatient with, but Michaela is both patient and resourceful in interpreting what's up with him. Last, we human persons had lots of concerns about Jack to run past Michaela, and her communication and insights put us at ease. Michaela has a way with our persnickety pup (and similarly mannered people :)). We're glad to have found her!”

About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.

“Sam is Awesome. Rosie and Pepper Jack are still new to Rover but right when they saw her at the front door they knew what time it was. She’s very good and patient with them. I missed a scheduled walk day and she went above and beyond to check on us. Will continue to go with Sam.”

About: FALL 2026. OCT-DEC Boardings: Open. Especially Holidays. Pick Up and Drop Off: Open. See my boarding schedule. Recurring Walks: After Nov 1, 4/4 Slots Open. Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.

About: Hello! If you choose me to take care of your furry best friend consider them in the best hands! I have grown up with dogs all my life! Different breeds as well from the biggest you can think of to the smallest ankle biter out there. I like to treat all animals as if they were my own. Being a stay at home mom makes that even easier for me. Your pet will have 24/7 attention and have fun walks throughout the day! Being a stay at home mom my schedule is pretty open! We like to start our day bright and early, and having a dog myself we always enjoy a long walk in the morning. I like to walk the dogs at least minimum 3 times a day if your dogs need more or less I can adjust! After play time we love to cuddle up on the couch and rest their little paws All pets will be leashes prior to going on walks in addition my son is also kept away from the dogs especially while they’re eating since I have a dog of my own we have made sure to make sure he knows to be gentle with them and give them space

About: Hello everyone! Thank you for taking a look at my Rover profile! I've grown up around many kinds of animals. There always were at least 3 dogs at my parent's house for as long as I can remember. I have taken care many dogs over the years. We had 2 large litters of puppies. So I can work with younger pets that are still potty training. Besides dogs, I'm VERY good with cats as well. For the past 13 years I've had my kitty Peach. She is my little baby. I absolutely love her! I can also take care of aquarium life, rodents, reptiles, birds, and farm animals (right now I just have experience with chickens). I'm a fast learner. In my spare time I enjoy taking photos, singing, sewing, painting, and any other sort of craft! I’m currently taking a break from office life to focus on my wellbeing and do Rover full-time. I like to stay active for my weightlifting, so I do go to the gym for about an hour a few times throughout the week. When I’m in the a clients home, I try to stick to their care plan as closely as I can. It’s so important for pets to have their routines and could be stressful to them if it’s changed, especially when their favorite people are not around.

About: I've raised 2 dogs and have taken care of friends' and co-workers' dogs for nearly 40 years. I love snuggling with and playing fetch with dogs of all ages. I don't watch much t.v. so, most of my time would be spent enjoying your friend/family member's company! I can't wait!!! I work from home most days and I typically work Monday through Friday. On the weekends I don't work, so I will be fully engrossed in play with your loved one! I live in a cute little house with a small back yard, but have a big middle school one street away where I take doggies to play and walk. There's also a really close park and tons of walking paths nearby.

About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 10 years old, giving me years of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each owner’s specific care instructions. I’m currently job searching, as I am new to this area, so I will be available pretty much any time during daylight hours and weekends. I cannot bring pets into my apartments, but I am happy to watch someone else’s dog at their own place. I usually receive a list of things to do for the pet(s) and follow the instructions as they should be done, to ensure the pet(s) are comfortable.

About: I’m home Monday–Friday and available on weekends with advance notice. I live in Beachcrest, with a private trail to the beach and plenty of dog-friendly parks nearby. If your pet loves exploring, they’ll have plenty of opportunities for beach adventures, walks, and play! My home has a large deck and yard, though the yard is unfenced. Pets often enjoy sunbathing on the deck or checking out my fish ponds. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and colleagues for as long as I can remember. I have experience with pet first aid, medication administration, and senior animals, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home. I'm very flexible so just message me and I can find a time to accommodate you. Whether it's early morning or late at night. I'll be there! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. When I arrive, I like to have a little pow-wow with the pets and, yes, I sometimes have conversations with them. 😂 I’ll always make sure they have clean bowls, fresh food and water, and plenty of potty breaks, along with any walks, medications, or special care they need. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats in the home since I was born and I’ve always loved helping care for them. My first few jobs involved working at a dog boarding/daycare facility and since then my passion for animals has only increased. I have now been working as a veterinary assistant, in both the ER and general practice, for over 5 years. I am comfortable working with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am trained in providing medications, ( I have a current Veterinary medication clerk license) including injectable, and am CPR trained. Besides the medical stuff, I am a very outdoorsy and active person. I can accommodate any of your pets needs. My dog is my best friend and I understand how stressful it can be to trust somebody with your beloved pets. My goal is to make it known that your furry friends are in the best hands and are being well loved on while you are away.I can perform baths, nail trims, and Anal gland expressions if requested and if your pet is tolerant to it. As of July 7th I start clinicals 40 hours a week. My scheduling changes every other week and it is all over the place. July 7-17 I work from 7-3. July 20-31 I work 1-9pm. August 3-28 is 7-3 again and lastly 5am-1pm until September 11th. I treat everybody’s property with the same respect that I would want from my pet sitters. No guests over, no touching things that aren’t required, and making sure to keep things tidy.

About: I've been a dog owner since childhood. I have walked and cared for other human's dogs part-time for 10 years. I have the level of patience and concern required to take care of elderly pups and the energy to keep up with rambunctious pups. I have taken care of dogs with behavioral challenges as well as those who require special medical attention. I make walking and taking care of pups a part of my weekly routine. I would be open to a consistent morning or evening schedule during the week, but am most available to accomodate your weekend, out-of-town plans. At this time, I cannot take care of your pup at my residence. I have spent countless nights sitting at clients' homes and feel very comfortable with that arrangement. Also, happy to schedule multiple drop-ins during the day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Roy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Roy is $16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $20 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 October 2026, there are 3,004 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 your 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:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
