“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
“Absolutely fantastic! Lori was incredibly sweet and patient with both me and my dog. A wonderful dog walker and a wonderful person. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you.”
“Leah was on time, did a great job walking the dogs, and is very nice! I will definitely have her walk my dogs in the future. She even agreed to a meet and great prior to walking the dogs, which gave me peace of mind. She's very accommodating.”
About: I have been taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently job hunting and available whenever I'm needed. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.
“Riley did AMAZING with my reactive dog!! Upon first meeting, he was a little hesitant. By the end, the two of them were BFFS! She was able to walk him alone and establish a great relationship with him! I am SO SO grateful for her!”
“Leah is wonderful she is prompt always there!! She takes great care in walking Jax who is a senior dog!! Sends me updates and pictures every time she walks him!! He loves her! I would highly recommend her!!”
About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 3 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 5 year old lab, a female 2 year old golden, and a 1 year old male chocolate lab. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.
“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”
About: I've taken care of pets my entire life! Not only do I have a cat of my own, but I pet-sit for several neighbors/friends of the family and have always been asked back next time they need a sitter. I pride myself on listening to pets and making sure they're comfortable with me; I love learning the unique preferences of every animal! I'm currently working part-time on much my own schedule, so at the moment I am available 24/7. It is my intention for pet care to be my primary job! As I have a cat, I do my best to make sure there isn't fur on my clothes before caring for your pet(s). Additionally, I wash my hands before and after each pet/household. I love playing with any animal and am happy to run around and participate in higher-energy play if needed. I also tailor care to each animal; while I have a usual routine in terms of order of operations (if there's feeding, medicine, cleaning), how each animal is treated depends on their preferences and personality. Unchanging is the respect and care I show to every pet.
“Beanie loves Kenzie! She is super reliable and on time even when it’s been days with crappy weather. Plus, she always gets the cutest, derpiest photo of Beanie for the walk card which makes me smile when I see it after their walk!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I took care of my own precious soul dog for 14 years until she recently passed. I volunteer as a dog walker at the local shelter additionally. Over 15+ years of experience! I am home 24.7 as I work from home. Very flexible schedule as I own my own business. I enjoy long walks and being outside and look forward to taking care of your pet! My home is safe, quiet and clean as I live alone itll be soothint for your fur baby. It'll just be me and your fur baby all day! I will even let your fur baby sleep in my bed. Im fine with pets being on my furniture. I have a lot of blankets as well as dog beds. I also have a patio that we can enjoy the sun on in nice weather. My apartment offers safe side walks and a lot of grass and wooded areas around for lots of fun walking options. My apartment also has a gated dog park that often is empty that I like to bring dogs to so they can run around and be free safely.
“Emily was right on time. She texted me to let me know that she was arriving. She’s so nice and pleasant. My dog was quite happy to meet her. I was really happy that I have found her. Thank you.”
About: Hi, I’m Noelle! I’ve been pet sitting and caring for animals for over a decade, and I’d love to help you and your fur babies. I have experience with animals of all kinds, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra care. I’m also comfortable working with reactive pets and a wide range of behaviors, so you can feel confident your pet is in understanding and capable hands. At this time, I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in your home only—I do not provide boarding in my own home. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, medication, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication so you always feel at ease. I’d love to connect and learn more about your pet’s needs! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I offer drop-in visits and house sitting, and I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on your pet’s routine. I prioritize keeping things as normal as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medications. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and adjust timing if needed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I care for pets in their own home, I make sure their environment stays clean, secure, and low-stress. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and any potential hazards, and I always follow your instructions closely. I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and behaviors—including shy, anxious, and reactive animals—so I’m confident adapting to each pet’s needs. I take the time to build trust and ensure your pet feels safe and cared for. You’ll also receive regular updates so you can feel completely at ease.

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 Shaftsburg. 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 Shaftsburg.

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 Shaftsburg. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
