About: I have tons of animal experience, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics for the past 5 years. I’ve been a vet tech at a mixed animal practice for 2 years. I’m an advocate for animals, so your fur babies will be well taken care of! I’m about to start school so I have taken some time off of work for the meantime! I have ample opportunity to take care of your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and my pets are always looking for company if you would like to do day care!

About: Hi there! I’m Stefanie — a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience in dog grooming, kennel care, and pet sitting. I graduated from Texas All Breed Grooming School in 2005 and have worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality ever since! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs in both professional settings and my own home, including my own pack — two American Akitas, two medium mixed breeds, one sweet Shih Tzu, and three cats. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing calm, patient, and loving care that keeps tails wagging and owners at ease. Whether your furry friend needs a companion while you’re away, a patient hand for special needs or senior pets, or just someone experienced who truly “gets” dogs and cats — I’m here to help. Since I groom part-time, my schedule is very flexible and leaves plenty of time for drop-in visits, walks, or in-home pet sitting. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. Whether your furry friend needs a midday potty break, company while you’re at work, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in my home. I have a separate, secure area just for guest dogs, giving them space to relax and feel at home while staying safe and stress-free. The area is kept clean, cozy, and supervised, with plenty of room for rest and play.
About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but at times I do have to make trips outside of the house. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
About: I am a 15 year vet tech who is still actively practicing. I am dog/cat CPR certified- fear free certified. I have a combined 39 certifications in the vet med field. I currently specialize in surgeries and anesthesiology (monitoring patients while under for surgery) but I also do general practice of day to day flow. I would treat your fur baby as my own...from cuddling on the couch, to curling up in our beds and long walks to get that energy out ! If boarding during week I still come home everyday at my lunch to give the babies an hour for freedom outside or lazy time inside. When out of the home we do have a soothing playlist to keep them calm and drown out the noise of busy life happening outside. Any questions or concerns please reach out ! I am offering with any paid bath while boarding anal glands expression as well (done the correct way..not the groomer way) Im blessed to be able to work just 3 minutes from my home. So when I have boarders I’m able to be home with them more. My husband andI have alternating schedules so pets are normally left alone no more than 3 hours during the week days. I do well with all breeds from the smallest fur baby to the biggest! My pets are more than pets they are family...so they are spoiled as they should be. I have a fenced back yard (privacy fence 6ft tall) I currently have 3 dogs of my own who go to work with me often so are use to new faces and smells. So no aggression from them at all! I have 3 cats who are all rescues...they range from bottle baby to 3 legged. We do walk any dogs staying with us for added exercise if needed. Plus my kids LOVE wrestling with the dogs and they are plenty worn out by night time
About: Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve cared for animals my entire life, volunteered at shelters, and worked as a kennel tech and vet assistant. I’m currently studying to become a vet and have plenty of free time as I’m off for the summer before I start vet school. I’m passionate about animals and offer reliable, loving care, whether it’s walking, administering medication, or just giving your pet attention. Your pet will be in great hands! I just graduated with my Bachelors and have been accepted into veterinary school to be apart of the class of 2030! Right now I’m trying to save up money before moving in August. In your home I stick to your pet’s routine feeding, walks, and playtime, all while keeping everything tidy and sending updates to keep you in the loop.
About: I love being around dogs and would love to take yours for a walk! I grew up with a giant and miniature schnauzer and they were the best playmates! I adopted my first dog in April of 2022 and he is my favorite part of everyday. I have been a dog sitter since 2013 and have loved every minute of it! I am training for a half-marathon and would love to bring your pet along with me if they are high energy. I have experience with many different types of dogs due to my last job working at a dog kennel for over a year! You know what they say, a tired dog is a good dog! It would be my pleasure to walk and play with your dogs! I love any and all breeds and I am willing to adapt to what your pet needs! I work full time and am looking for evening and weekend walks. It is the best way to unwind from a busy workday. My dog, Banjo, would love to have a friend to walk with if your dog likes other dogs, if not then I can give them one-on-one attention. If your pup needs a short walk or a longer walk, I can accommodate their needs. I am currently acclimating my dog to the Texas heat and we go 5 minutes longer every two days.
About: 🐾 Where tails wag, paws play, and dogs enjoy their own little vacation! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a strong connection with animals and take time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. Dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. I have a yard where pups can safely run, explore, and sniff to their heart’s content. We go on walks tailored to their energy level, play fetch 🎾, practice basic training and commands, and enjoy interactive toys and mental stimulation games. On warm days, dogs can cool off in a kiddie pool or splash around with the hose 💦. My own dog is friendly, well-trained, and comfortable around other dogs, helping create a calm and positive environment. I also offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own home if that’s what they prefer. During visits, I make sure they’re fed, let out, played with, and given plenty of attention and care. Whether I’m boarding, walking, visiting, or house sitting, I focus on patience, consistency, and kindness so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer flexible availability throughout the week! I do step out for 3–5 hours a few days per week for work, but I always make sure pets are cared for before and after. I’m available mornings, and evenings and I keep my schedule updated so your pet gets consistent attention and care 💛 In your home and mine, I stick to whatever routine your pets already know—meals, treats, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet time. I make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and I keep your home safe and clean while you’re gone. I send lots of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy.

About: I am compassionate for every animal's health and happiness. Skilled in medical administration to young and senior pets. I treat every pet like my own. I have a part time job so I am able to visit once to twice a day to care for any pet on a work day. I am freely available on non-working days. I play with them using their toys, feed them on their normal schedule, provide affection, keep their area clean on a daily basis, and maintain their physical fitness with plenty of walking activities.
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”

About: Ive always grown up around dogs, and all kinds of animals, but this is my first time getting into something like this. Im super excited!!! I have a very flexible schedule, looking for something to do in between my hours to get out of the house, and make some extra cash and love on your animals! Your pets safety is my number one concern. I will closely follow any pet specific instructions you give to ensure your pets are safe and you can be worry free.
About: I have experience with horses dogs, puppies, birds and cats. I have taken care of many peoples pets in home and out of home as they enjoy a stress free vacation knowing their pets are being taken care of. There will be an additional charge for horses, birds and fish tanks. Please let me know ahead of time if you have either. I have a schedule that allows me to pet sit or house sit for extended periods of time. I can also walk your pet on a daily basis. Or exercise your horse on a daily basis. My dog Tazzy is an indoor dog. She is a certified emotional support dog. She sleeps with me, travels with me most of the time. She loves all dogs and most kitties. Very well balanced.

About: I have experience through my own rescue puppy and Pet Smarts training program training and raising him from 6 weeks old to now just shy of 8 months old. I also have a 6 year old husky named Zeus, and have helped take care of my parents elderly dog Chuey who unfortunately has a collapsed trachea and arthritis. Having labs throughout my childhood, I've also had to care for dogs in the midst of a seizure. I am currently working part time on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to love and care for your precious furry friends! Due to having a puppy in training myself, as well as other animals in the house I am not boarding. However, I can house/pet sit, walk, feed, and play virtually any time! I love to tend to whatever needs are specific to your animal! If they need a lot of enrichment or they are very energetic, I have so much fun getting that lovely energy out with them! If they need more rest, gentle care, and supervision, I'm more than happy to carefully love your baby with lots of soft pets! Walks are also essential to any dog's routine, and I promise to take long ones when needed. As for cats, I strive to keep their environment as clean as possible so they can be more comfortable and hygienic.
“Jaime was very understanding when he was at my house to walk my Dozer for the 1st time... seeing how I had a emergency come up and I completely forgot that he was coming to my house. I wasn't there.. but I let him in. He still just let my dozer out to potty even tho my dog was so scared and was running from him. My fault completely.. but Jaime still handled things professionally . I really appreciate you !”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,271 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sanctuary. 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 Sanctuary. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sanctuary.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Sanctuary. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
