About: For the past 20 years, I've had the joy of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. Through every stage of their lives—from playful puppies to their senior years—I learned the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attentive care. My experience has taught me how to recognize a fur-baby's individual needs, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and secure while their families are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every fur-baby as if they were my own. I work full-time from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Tuesdays and Saturdays off. Before work, I make time to care for my own dog by taking her outside, going for a walk, and spending quality time together. After work, we enjoy another walk, playtime, and plenty of attention. On my days off, I have a more flexible schedule and enjoy taking longer walks with my dog, playing with her, and keeping up with everyday household chores. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they receive the love, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to treating every pet like part of my own family. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own dog. I know that staying in their familiar environment helps pets feel safe and comfortable, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I also respect your home, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pets feel loved while you're away and you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have had pets of my own throughout adulthood. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs and cats for friends and family when they needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pets, so I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I currently work PRN as a nurse, which allows me to make my own schedule and gives me the flexibility to coordinate my availability around the needs of the pets in my care. I can plan ahead for walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and house sitting, and I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are very important to me. I will care for your pets in your home with the same attention and care I give my own. I’ll closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are doing well.

About: I began house sitting for an assortment of pets when I was just 11 years old. I have cared for horses, cows, chickens, turkeys, pigs, cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I myself own a labradoodle and two geckos, and aid my siblings in caring for their snakes and bearded dragons. I have been flown out by family to care for their pets for weeks at a time and I have handled them in both sickness and in health. I have experience caring for creatures with disabilities as well as ones on medication or diets, I have memorized homemade dog food recipes as well for sensitive stomachs. Whatever beautiful creature left in my care will be treated with the best care possible and with gentle hands, for I believe you should treat all animals with the same care you’d give a close family member. I hope to meet your sweet souls and give them all the love they deserve. I am a part-time college student, studying to be a nurse. But I have a very flexible schedule and my classes are considered hybrids, so I could easily do my work online from your home where your beautiful creatures are still under my supervision just as easily! The only days I consider to be a bit packed are Mondays and Tuesdays, but it can easily be rearranged to your needs! I have a dog and two geckos of my own, and I make sure to treat my babies with the best care possible. My dog is taken out on walks twice a week, and the other days we play in the yard to let her get out what remaining energy she has, considering she is getting older, I try not to be harsh on her and accommodate our active time to what her body signals. I brush her every other day and infuse her fur with show dog finishing spray to ensure she smells good and I make sure to use sprays that are specifically pet friendly as not to irritate her nose or skin. She is completely potty trained and behavior trained by me and she listens very well and has never had an accident. I had cared for three other dogs of our own in the past, and all of them had different needs considering they have all been rescues. Our prior dog had very bad anxiety, but I was able to help him through it without any medications necessary with constant comfort, assurance, and presence. I have cared for seniors, amputees, blinded, and special needs pets, including both dogs and cats, and can follow whatever routine you’d like if you have preferences! I also offer stability in moods and tone. I know animals are very prone to reflecting whatever emotion a human is displaying to them, so I’ve always been cautious of my reactions and the way I speak to them. I can be stern if it’s necessary, but I’d consider it gentle parenting type of stern!
About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I have several years of hands-on experience working in veterinary medicine. I am currently finishing my degree in Biological Sciences with a Pre-Veterinary concentration and plan to attend veterinary school in the future. I am also a NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant with experience caring for dogs and cats in general practice and urgent situations. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, anxious animals, and high-energy dogs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize signs of stress or illness and provide attentive, compassionate care while keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, medication administration, playtime, or overnight care, I treat every animal like my own. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I am dependable, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you are away! I’m currently taking 2 online classes, and will be dedicating the rest of my time to pet sitting! I am looking to work as much as possible this year so I can save up for my veterinary education. Routine and structure are very important to me! I prioritize maintaining consistent schedules, enrichment, exercise, and meeting each pet’s individual needs. I have experience working with breed-specific behaviors and understand that every animal thrives with different types of care and stimulation. My own cat is definitely spoiled with cuddles, playtime, and enrichment activities, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.
“Nanci did a fantastic job! I am a stickler and only want the best for my dog, as I’m sure is true with many people out there. Nanci treated Cheddar like one of her own pups and gave him a much needed break outside and some additional scratches and love. I highly recommend Nanci to the other high-strung pet parents out there!”
About: I’m 47 years old and have been caring for pets my entire life. From my first kitten, snowball, at 5 years old, to my current dog and 3 cats. I grew up on a horse boarding stable and spent most of my childhood riding and showing horses. I wanted to be a veterinarian back then and would follow Dr. Scott all over when he’d visit. I never made it to vet, but spent several years in my 20’s working as a vet tech and groomers assistant. I have been sitting with Rover for several years now and love spending time with my fur friends! Don’t worry, my family is home with my babies when I’m gone on a stay! I’m currently on furlough and have open availability for sitting and walking. This is not currently applicable. May offer services in my home in the future I do not currently offer stays in my home. I have recently relocated to an apartment and though it works for my pets, it is not suitable for other pets
“Karma did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs on short notice. She spent extra time making sure they felt loved after each walk, leaving them content and reassured. We came home to happy dogs, a huge relief for my wife and I. We would recommend Karma to anyone.”
“Brittany was amazing with Luna! She was super sweet, reliable, and communicative, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in her care. She kept me updated and took such great care of her. I would definitely book with Brittany again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.
“So glad I met Samantha while walking my dog and she was walking a client’s dog! She is very caring and friendly and I hired her to walk my baby, Penny, for later in the week. She did a great job and would definitely have her walk Penny again! 😌💕🐾”
About: I’ve had and cared for many furry friends since I was 12. Large and small breeds, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds and a tortoise, we’ve had them all and loved each one! I stay at home with my 3 dogs and 2 cats but have plenty of love and time to share with others when pet parents need a helping hand. I’m happy to come to your home and play/ interact with your pet. Positive interaction and attention is so important when pet parents are away from the home and I’m happy to fill that need when it arises. I’ll make sure your pet is safe ,comfortable and fed just like I take care of my own. I have a special needs dog so I’m comfortable giving the care they need.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love to walk. I have a flexible work and family schedule and I'm able to visit or walk your fur baby throughout the day. I am able to visit with your fur baby for up to 30 minutes per day and/or walk them up to half mile per day.
“Carly is very thorough and makes sure she knows everything about the care of your pups! She was excellent with communication and truly cared about my pups! Highly recommend!!”
About: Whenever a family friend would go out of town she would always reach out to me first to go check on her 4 dogs, checking their bowls, if theres any poo to clean up, and of course give them love and attention before heading back out. I have a shih tzu at home which is my family dog 8 years old now, a bearded dragon, and a parakeet, they're my babies. I currently work 2 jobs, one of them is a CNA at Encompass Health in which I self schedule. The other is at Altitude Trampoline Park, as a cashier and party host. In total I usually work 3-4 days out of the week. It varies. On my days off I am open to come care for fur babies. In my home, I take care of my shih tzu taking him out first thing in the morning, then feeding him, and keeping him company. He is so nosey he always needs to follow me or my mom around and requires nap time. Sometimes if he allows me I take him out for a walk, he’s very picky so he’ll want to walk down 3 houses then drag me back home. With my parakeet and bearded dragon I give them attention, feed them, treats, and hold them depending on how social they’re feeling.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Shady Hills is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk.

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 Hills. 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 Shady Hills 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 Shady Hills. 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.
