“Ryan is clearly comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, including my little muscle man! He also took lots of pics & was on time & communicative. My dog came back happy & worn out, he would love to walk with him again.”

“Tierney was great with our dog! Gave us a detailed report card and sent some awesome pics that showed Mona-Lisa had a great time on her walk. Would definitely recommend to someone else and will be using her in the future.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I can remember! I grew up on a farm and worked for other local farms, taking care of animals ranging from large dogs to barn cats. My own dogs are high-energy, intelligent breeds, including a Border Collie and an Australian Shepherd, that I have trained myself. I also had a beagle who had many medical problems that required extensive senior care. I am available and flexible anytime on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays for pet care. I am less flexible on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but may have options if need be. To ensure a safe and trusting environment in my client's home, I will always be extremely attentive to the animal's needs, while having a fun, engaging time! I will also be sure to alert my client if anything is wrong or out of the norm for their pets.
About: I've grown up with dogs, have a small dog of my own, and have cared for several energetic hunting dogs for extended periods of time. I have also cared for reptiles, chickens, ducks and cats. I have a flexible field job that allows me to work remotely and make my own schedule. I have the ability to dedicate 3+ hours a day to pet care. I am very clean with minimal belongings. Spend any time in the house cleaning and tidying. I'm often told by Airbnb and that they can never tell I was there once I leave!

“My dog Milo was in good hands and well taken care of with Sarah. Sarah showed up on time and did everything that was needed. Would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone needing their dog walked or looked after. Very professional and left my dog a toy which was very sweet.”

“Ambika was amazing! They helped us out when we needed a dog walker last minute and our experience was great! Ambika was incredibly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos! Would absolutely recommend Ambika for services and we will be booking with them again in the future!”


About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. As a child, wife, mom and teacher, I have taken care of and loved many animals over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, frogs, turtles, birds, fish. As an educator, I have open availability during the summer. I'd love to show your pet some extra TLC during your workday to ease your mind! I have all of my security clearances as an educator. I hope this helps provide you with peace of mind when I come to take care of your pet.

About: I have raised rescue dogs since I was 10 (1 German shepherd, 2 cattle dogs). Before that I took care of a bunny and cats, among other animals. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. Also have bird experience. Love being out in nature. When the neighbors’ dogs have ran away multiple times, I have rescued them and brought them home. I have experience with all kinds of animals, but especially with dogs and cats. I’m self-employed and work part-time but I have flexible availability! My PT job is 15 minutes away and for my self-employment, I work from home. I do house pet-sitting, walks, day visits, etc. I’m available weekends and weekdays, ideally in the afternoons, but I can make mornings work. Just chat with me to coordinate! I can feed your pups/kitty, play fetch/frisbee with them outside, play inside, take them out, give them treats + fresh water, work on training with puppies/kittens, cuddle, take them on walks/hikes (even for harness-trained cats!), take them on day adventures, and brush/groom them. I listen to clients carefully, and make sure the dogs/cats specialty needs are of utmost importance too.
About: Hi everyone! I am a very reliable and trustworthy person. I’ve always had pets my whole life. I’m a huge animal lover with 1 dog and 2 cats. I’ve had experience of watching my own animals and caring for other peoples animals by walking them, feeding them, spending time with them and more! I have a full time job. I am available all week after work starting at 4:30 and all day on the weekends/whenever you need me :) I take my dogs on walks and play with him and my 2 cats. I make sure they’re active and give them all the love in the world and I will do the same for any pet I’m responsible for!
“Another successful walk with Mocha, yay !!! Mocha recognized her immediately and was super excited to head out for his walk. He came home content and happy, took a little nap and was relaxed. Thank you Diana for your help with Mocha. See you soon 😊”

About: I have rescued 6+ animals over the years from shelters and deeply care for animals. Have experience from Tabby’s place which is a pet sanctuary and rescue center. Whether it is a long walk, extra belly rubs, or more play time, I am here for whatever your furry friend needs! Very flexible for whatever you need. Available in the mornings and early afternoon to evening during the week. Weekends available all day. Holidays are no problem either. I have a big open yard perfect for walking and playing. Inside is very open and I have one medium sized dog and 2 cats. My dog is 11 years old and gets along with anyone and my cats are 3 and 1 who are also very friendly.
About: I am an Animal Behavior College certified dog trainer. My wife and I have over 15 years experience in dog boarding, daycare, walking and basic animal care. I work from home so I'll be here most of the day to care for your pet. There will be plenty of opportunities for you dog to go outside and play. I have a large fenced in yard for playing and daily activity. If your pet enjoys playing with other dogs I have two of my own who also enjoy playing.

About: I've spent my life caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. I grew up with a pitbull who was very territorial and not friendly with strangers, so I’ve learned to understand warning signs and am comfortable with caring for dogs with behavioral issues. Today, I care for a lively household that includes an extremely energetic French Bulldog, a gentle and timid German Shepherd mix (very very large dog), a Maine Coon cat, a chinchilla, and 11 chickens. I have taken care of older dogs that needed physical support during walks, as well as dogs with medicine schedules. I am comfortable with manually putting medicine into a dog’s mouth if necessary for their routine. I have also cared for corn snakes, ball pythons and axolotls. My experience with such a wide range of critters has made me confident in caring for pets of any size, personality, and needs. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible from Sunday-Friday. I work a part-time job on Saturdays so that is the only day I am unavailable. I can adhere to strict schedules, and I am very attentive to feeding/walking/medicine routines. I will give your pet lots of attention and as much playtime as they need (even if that means hours of high-energy play). On walks, I am used to dogs that roam somewhat freely (on a leash), but I also grew up walking a dog that I had to keep away from all people and animals, so I am able to accommodate your dog during walks in any way necessary. No matter what, you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for.

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 Sandy Ridge. 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 Sandy Ridge.

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 Sandy Ridge. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
