About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise or gentle, specialized attention, I will treat them with the same love and devotion I give my own family. My daily routine is entirely structured around my pets. We start the day at a sharp 8:00 AM for morning breakfast and plenty of outside time. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pet will receive constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and interactive play throughout the day. Our evenings are calm and cozy, ending with soft paw nudges for bedtime. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule or just someone to be there for afternoon naps, I have the time and dedication to make them feel right at home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. To give you peace of mind, I am happy to send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun they are having. For walks, I utilize multiple leashes and harnesses to ensure every outing is secure and controlled. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a vigilant eye and follow all specific care instructions to keep your furry family member happy and safe.
“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”
“Natalie is great with Indie and always so kind and reliable. I can tell Indy genuinely enjoys spending time with her and comes back happy after their walks. I really appreciate having someone I trust to take such good care of her.”
About: I'm a dependable and hard worker who's had dogs and cats my whole life, and have been pet/house sitting off and on since I was an early teenager. I love taking dogs for runs or walks with me and getting the chance to exercise them, or just playing with them in the house. I have plenty of experience with older dogs who need medication and various special care needs, dogs who have recently had operations, as well as with puppies making messes. I also have cared for kittens and older cats who need play time or lots of love. I'm happy to give daily updates on your pets; I think they are just as cute as you do! I've taken care of houses, plants, and pets for up to three month periods, communicating with the owners the whole time. I will love and care for your pets just like you do! I currently work from home and have a completely flexible schedule, so I can fit your pets' care needs in however works best for them. I have lots of experience with very high energy working dogs, German Shepherds, who needed to be kenneled and fed in particular ways, as well as experience with caring for up to six pets at a time, making sure they're all fed and getting along at dinner or play times.
“Amir is our go-to for our dog Yoshi! He's got a calming presence and always sends great photo updates. He's very trustworthy and we'll continue to book with him if available. Thanks Amir!”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job with my needy puppy! I highly recommend her and I would absolutely book her again. She sent photos and messages to update me and even called once when my puppy wasn’t feeling well.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and care for all types. I am reliable, patient, and treat every pet great! I worked at a pet care for about a year as well! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my time around their needs. I can provide regular visits, feedings, walks, playtime, and attention on a schedule that works for each pet. I care for pets in their own home, following their usual routine for meals, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I am a dog trainer (6 years of experience) and own a local dog training company ( instagram is Bingleyco )with my partner. We have extensive knowledge in not only caring for dogs, but also guiding them and their owners to success! We are self employed so we create our own schedule to be able to be there when you need us! Whatever your needs we are here for you! At this time we are only offering day care, training, and dog walking . But take safety extremely seriously and always ensure your dogs are well cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, from pet-sitting friends dogs and cats, to helping out at the shelter, though my pride and joy is my shelter pup Maggie, who I had the pleasure of training, and had been my buddy for 13 years. She was the absolute best, and I miss her so so much. Since Maggie passed, I now have the pleasure of raising and training yet another shelter pup, who is a great dog with lots of spunk. Her name is Luma, she’ll be 3 in April 2025, and she’s great with kids, dogs, and cats! I go to church on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings, and I’m currently an online student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any further questions feel free to enquirer to see if I’m available or if we can work something out! I look forward to hearing from you :) Currently, I am available for pet and house sitting, as well as walking and drop-ins. When house and pet sitting I will follow the rules you set for your home, as well as treating your pets as my own, which means spoiling them with lots of snuggles and top notch care!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 4 years. I’d love to spoil your pup! I have an extra crate if needed and plenty of toys from my dogs they can use. I work from home full time so I am available almost every day of the week. I am free to take them out too as needed. I have a large yard for them to potty in and a front yard for play time. I have one dog at home that loves to play and is so friendly. I love having animals in my home & id love to watch yours!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! For years, friends and family have turned to me whenever they need experienced, reliable care for their pets. Between my personal life with pets, my animal shelter experience, and caring for my own animals, I know how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your fur babies. Whether your pet needs dedicated care, daily meds, or just a cozy cuddle, I’m excited to treat them like my own! I work from home Monday through Friday, so I'm around all day. When I'm home, I'm usually hanging out on the couch with my own pets. Being home full-time makes it super easy for me to stay on top of feedings, stick to routines, and keep your pets company throughout the day. I treat every home I visit with the exact same level of care and respect as my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, so I always keep things clean, secure, and running smoothly. You can count on me to follow your instructions to the letter and leave your house just as neat as you left it.
About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.
About: I grew up having a dog in the house so I know what it’s like to care for one, and the responsibilities that come with it. I believe dogs are like humans meaning they need the same love and attention that we do. While your dog is in my care we will go on walks, I’ll play with them, and take care of all its basic needs as well as providing pictures and videos to keep you updated. One of my special skills is that I am very patient with animals. I know it’s hard to trust a stranger with your fur baby but I am very trustworthy and caring and will treat your dog as if it was my own. Thank you very much!

We would love to come spend some time with your pets! I have worked in childcare for many years and now as a nanny for the same family the past 5 years, so I am very patient and understanding and will be with your furry friends as well. We are responsible people and promise to keep our commitments we make to you and your animals! We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your furry friends! My current work schedule will keep me away from the house for 6-8 hours during the week; but it is possible my partner would be there while I’m not. Our number one priority is too keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy while we are spending time with them. We will treat them as if they were our own!
About: I've had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds for the past 40 + years. I want this experience to be a great one that is stress free for you and your animals. If they are use to a certain routine eat at a certain time, walks ect. Please let me know. I will treat them like they are my own. I am available for holidays and last minute trips I would love to care for your fur kids. I have lots of love to give & would love to spend time with them. I can adapt to any situation. I'm here to make your animals experience go smoothly. I know us humans can experience anxiety & I feel that animals feel the same thing (I believe). I will do my best to make this experience great for all of us. I am good at multi tasking. I will give 110%. I will always make your animals a priority when I'm watching them. I want this to be a great experience for all of us. I will care for them like they were my very own. I will follow your pets normal routine and do my very best to keep them on their normal schedule.

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 Shady Dell. 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 Shady Dell.

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 Shady Dell. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
