“Caitlyn did very good with Oreo! It was our first time trying to see if he’d do good with a dog walker and with no fault to Caitlyn, he did not. He was shy and very scared and not a fan of the idea. However, Caitlyn tried very hard to slowly work with him and kept me updated on the experience. I found it best to just leave him be as it was just a trial run and it helped me realize it is not for him! But I am very thankful for Caitlyn’s patience and kindness towards him and would recommend her for your pet!! She really cares about the animals she is working with.”
About: I’ve been pet and babysitting for 6 years, and have had my own pets basically my entire life. I’m a student at the University of North Texas and I love being active and caring for animals, and I would love to care for yours! I can’t wait to meet and work with you and your babies! As a college student, I have a lot of free time between classes and on the weekends, and I am always looking for work. I’ve been doing Rover for a several months now, and I can’t wait to continue now that I’m back at school!! I have a car and am very active, so I am perfectly happy taking your dogs on walks or running around with them outside. I am very good at following even the most specific care schedules!!
About: I have been an animal lover for my whole life! In the past I have worked at an animal clinic as a kennel technician, caring for boarding dogs and cats. You can count on me to take care of your furry friend! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Available on a weekly basis. Most evenings I am free with most weekends and weekdays open! I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog and a chill cat. My dog is pretty active and loves other dogs so he would also love making new friends! We go on walks 1-2 times a day.
“Ashley is very good with dogs and it didn't take more than a second to see Gunner's positive and friendly reaction when he met her. Your pet will be taken good care of from this Rover provider!! Ashley also was a last minute substitution due to my May 4th surgery being bumped up sooner to April 27th, and another Rover provider unable to be in town April 27-28. We really appreciate Ashley for being there for us this week!!”
“Had a very last minute booking and Madison was very flexible and awesome in coordinating everything. She was great with my pup Milo and was awesome with her communication. Will be booking again for sure!”
“Karina has been absolutely amazing and has saved me many times. I have a busy schedule and I travel a lot for work. She has helped me in a pinch with a smile on her face! My pets adore her and I think the world of her.”
“I can’t recommend Aurellia enough. She’s been walking my dog for a while now, and she’s hands-down the best. My dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time she shows up. You can tell she genuinely cares and takes her time to make sure the dogs are happy and well looked after. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and always sends quick updates after walks, which I really appreciate. It’s great knowing my dog’s in good hands when I’m busy or out for the day. If you need a trustworthy, caring, and all-around great dog walker — Aurellia’s the one to call.”
“Hilda is great! She did a meet and great the night before! She treated my sweet girl with so much love and went above and beyond! Definitely a 10/10!! Will be calling her again for sure! 🙂”
About: Hi animal lovers! I’d love to assist you with your pet care for when life gets busy. I have 18 years of pet care experience and over 2 years of professional, paid experience in dog walking/sitting and cat sitting. I have experience with dogs, to cats, to aquatic creatures, to guinea pigs! If you are in need of anything else beyond walking and sitting, feel free to reach out and we can work together :) I’m currently as an English teacher, but am going back to school next year and would love to care for your furry friends during my free time and breaks! I’m available all day on weekends and weekday nights and midday breaks! I had a 17 year old dog at my family home, but he passed away this past July and miss caring for dogs, so I’d love to spend time getting to help others care with theirs :) I also have 3 of my own cats so I am more than experienced there! I have a nice sized space for cats and dogs of many sizes. I also have great sized neighborhood/complex for long walks in order to ensure your furry friend receives their daily exercise and potty breaks!
“Great with my 80 lb, strong willed boy! Friendly and puppy comes home happy and worn out. Everything I could ask for! Will hire Richard again for sure. So glad we got connected with him!”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs for a number of years. My friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to check in on, feed, bathe, walk, and play with their pets, knowing that I will care for them like they were my own. I am currently in graduate school, taking classes three days a week, giving my schedule lots of flexibility to care for your pet both during the week and on weekends. I will care for your pet or pets in your home per your instructions, giving them lots of attention and providing them the care and supervision they deserve.
About: Hi! I'm a patient, reliable animal lover who understands that every pet has unique needs. Caring for my family's reactive Mini Poodle has taught me the importance of staying calm, building trust, and paying close attention to a pet's comfort and behavior. I'll treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. Recently, I recently began as an opener at my job and leave around 3 pm with a day or two off during the weekday. With this schedule I’m confident we can work out a schedule for me to look after your furry babies! I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive, and loving care. In a client's home, I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My experience caring for my family's reactive Mini Poodle has taught me to respect each dog's individual needs, body language, and boundaries.
About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like a member of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and preferences to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistent training and socialization, as well as senior pets who require extra patience, medication management, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, daily exercise, and reinforcing basic training commands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through regular updates, clear communication, and dependable care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time work schedule. I have flexible availability and can provide dependable care during mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any special care they may need. Because I work part-time, I can maintain a balanced schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and responsive, ensuring your pet’s routine remains consistent and stress-free while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping pets securely leashed and supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have raised dogs all of my life and I am a huge animal lover. Each animal I have had have always been rescues. I strongly believe in TLC for all pets. When you're away from home I will give all the love and pets to your furry friend. I love to walk dogs as it benefits both parties. Play time is incredibly important too. Without play time a pet can become restless and bored. I thoroughly enjoy playing fetch with dogs. I am promptly on time with potty breaks, feeding time, and any walking needs. Any request great or small will be done. I currently have a 11 year old male cat I raised from a kitten so I know cat's very well also. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate any and all pet needs a client may have. I do well with a detailed potty and feeding schedule. I send updates and pictures accordingly with feeding times and follow written instructions very well. I make sure family pets are kept to a standard routine so they feel right at home.
About: I have 4 large breed dogs myself and value all the animals I get to know and love. My experience includes special needs pups, reactive and aggressive, and dogs who just need some extra time, love, and attention. I want to build a relationship with you and your pup and reassure you that they’ll be safe, and comfortable. I update with real time photos, videos, and/or ft so you can be part of the fun even while you’re away. I care for pets daily. My special needs girl requires careful attention and is worth every extra moment spent on her. My relationships with animals are always rewarding and joyful. It’s important to me to spend time with you and your baby before I begin my care. I can’t love them the way you can, but I want to do my best and be sure to provide you with the confidence you need to trust me. Learning their routine, personalities, and quirks is important to me. That begins with a good relationship with you!

Emma has been my dog, Willow’s, dog walker for 7 months now & she is truly the best. Highly recommend. My dog can be a bit shy to strangers & Emma has been so patient & loving to her. I’ve also had Emma watch Willow when I’ve gone out of town for a few days & she always has done such a great job. Takes lots of pictures and is great at communicating. 10/10 across the board!
Ashley is very good with dogs and it didn't take more than a second to see Gunner's positive and friendly reaction when he met her. Your pet will be taken good care of from this Rover provider!!

London was able to accommodate my baby last minute and during the snow. Both myself and husband were under the weather and she was quick to respond and take our pup out for a long over due walk. He came back a new man :). Thanks London we really appreciated the help.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Shady Shores on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,612 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shady Shores. 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 Shady Shores. 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 Shores.

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 Shores. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
