About: I now work at PetSmart PetHotel. I am very naturally gifted in taking care of animals and it has been my passion for as long as I have lived. I have the determination to take care of all pets, especially dogs in particular, because they are wonderful and although fun to have do contain responsibilities. I have had many of dogs, as well as I used to pet-sit through Rover in my Parent’s home from age 13-18. I have experience administrating medications to pets with special needs, preparing special/personally formulated, and dietary restrictive foods, and will utilize any treats you leave per request. I will follow instructions thoroughly to try and ensure your pet’s routine is as close to normal as possible, and I would prefer an advanced meet and greet for conversation. I really appreciate honesty and real discussions regarding your dog because it helps me to better care for them. Thank you for considering to let me care for your family member! I am open availability for all services (unless I have a booking!). I am available Sunday through Saturday everyday of the week and all hours necessary! I have a community dog park in my neighborhood. For client’s using their home- I am open to any community parks or just walking through their neighborhood!
About: I've had animals my entire life, and I currently have four dogs and two cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. I also volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and paying close attention to an animal's needs and behavior. Whether your pet loves playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of affection for your furry family members. I work PRN at a hospital, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my availability carefully around bookings. I only accept requests that I know I can fully commit to so that every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I also have animals of my own, but I'm not the only person caring for them, so their needs won't interfere with my ability to care for your pets. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in my client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their habits, boundaries, and preferences. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, following feeding and medication instructions carefully, and providing regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.
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.
“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: I am a major animal lover, I often think I enjoy pets over humans at times . I will love your pet like my own. I enjoy going to different parks so your pet will have a fun time going on a walk. During boarding your pet will be treated like my own, if your fur baby has anxiety not a problem they will not be alone I allow dogs on my sofa and bed so if need be they will not sleep alone. Not potty trained ?? Not a problem, I am patient as know it is a process to everything so trust you puppy will be on the schedule we discuss as to not set them back while in my care . ! ! I love animals and always give them the care , exercise and love they need and deserve and I treat my dog as my child I walk him daily, and open fields to run . I stay away from dog parks but if your baby wants to go then I will take them. I have a fenced back yard and one French Bulldog that is my spoiled baby. He has his own room and space where he can go to sleep and play if he doesn’t not want to be bothered . I will treat your pet like my own .
About: I am very picky when it comes to the care of my dogs. They have a specific routine and eating schedule. They are my babies and I care for them as I would care for myself. I will absolutely make sure to do the same for your fur babies as well. I am dedicated to making other owners feel safe just the same as I need when I have to be away from my babies. I work remotely part time and can be available for full time care. I have cameras that I monitor our home. We enjoy going on long walks in the morning and in the evening when the sun begins setting in the heat of summer. In the cooler (not cold or freezing weather) seasons, we go on a mid-day walk and on the really pretty days we love to go for as many walks or adventures that we can. My babies usually get 2-4 20 to 30 minute walks per day, more activity outdoor time with beautiful weather. I have 2 dogs at home that eat, walk, play and relax on a routine. I have a safe and secure fenced in yard, but it is small. There is a dog park around the corner and lots of walking trails. I take my dogs on "adventures" and they do have seat belts to keep them safe in the car. Your pets would be a part of our family and I would have them on a similar schedule unless directed to do something different by you. I work less than a mile from my home and have cameras all over my house. I am able to be home within 5 minutes or less if needed when I am away. Walks, outside & play time are very dependent on the weather. We don't go outside in lightning at all or if it is raining weather we only go out back for potty breaks and I look at weather apps multiple times a day because I do have a sweet girl that does not handle storms well at all. We have a dog park in the neighborhood and great walking trails. We go on long adventures as much as possible as long as it is not too hot or cold. Paw pad inspections are done with my bare feet on the concreate before my babies are allowed to walk. My sweet girl is older, so Leia is not able to handle the heat like Kylo. I am also very mindful of this. Your babies would be treated as if they were my babies unless there are other things you need me to do that I am currently not doing for my own.

“Robbin has a way with dogs. Our dog loved his walks with her. She was prompt, professional, and sent us a detailed rover card with beautiful photos at the end of every walk. My dog even gave her kisses. We will definitely be using her services in the future, and highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,047 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 Sanctuary. 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 Sanctuary 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 Sanctuary. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
