About: My name’s Chris and I’m a nursing student and animal lover! I’ve had 4 cats over the course of my life with varying medical needs, from prescription diets to daily oral medication. I also love dogs and have spent lots of time around dogs, and I’d love to take care of yours :) I’m currently a student so my schedule is pretty flexible from now until January! My schedule will look different after January, but I should know more as January approaches. I can feed your furry friends, play with them, administer their medications, crate them, take them for walks, comfort them, give them treats, and anything else your friend may need while my services are needed!
“Diane had excellent communication throughout the booking and made sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of my pups. My dogs were very well taken care of and I was completely at ease having Diane over their care! Highly recommended and will be booking again when the needs arise! Thank you!!!”
“Carlos is consistent and so kind with our puppy. He communicates with progress and suggestions to make Diesel's walks more engaging and provide learning opportunities. We appreciate Carlos being part of Diesel's crew!”
About: I have been raising animals since I was young. Building trust and security for anxious animals! Daily care experience. Ensuring proper nutrition and taking them on walks! I'm available everyday currently not working. I can dedicate everyday to your pups! I'm willing to pet sit at my house at this time. I can do dog walking services. I have a fenced and a puppy who your pup can play with and also very nice area for walking! I can crate your pet if needed.
“Gus and I love having Ashlie come see him! She checks in which helped my initial nerves of leaving him alone and is really helpful with scheduling. I really really recommend reaching out!”
About: Hello! I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages throughout my life. I worked with a trainer to develop my husky into an offleash dog and happy to share training knowledge with other owners! I’m active and enjoy running so taking the dogs for runs and walks will not be an issue for me. I have my own husky puppy that is great with dogs of all sizes! He knows when to be gentle and when it’s okay to be a little rough. I work completely from home so I’m available 24/7. If I were to leave the house, the dogs would be crated or left out depending on comfortability. I love taking dogs for walks and know how to train them if needed! My husky will tire out any dog, but even he enjoys simple walks!
“Elisabeth is awesome! She has taken my dog Graham out for several walks and somehow manages to get him out and about (even though he is a bit lazy). She takes great care to make him feel comfortable and I feel so at ease knowing he is in good hands. Would recommend!”
“Quick response and got pics of my dog which I always appreciate. A light was left on overnight with blinds open which I wasn't pleased about but will be clear about that next time. Good experience overall.”
About: I have had family dogs that I have fed, bathed, and walked for over a decade. During college I briefly had a dog of my own that I taught basic commands. I currently works part time as a barista early in the morning. This flexibility allows me to drop in at anytime of day-morning or night. I am capable of following all instructions you have for caring for your dog. I love going on walks, especially when accompanied by a pup.
“McKenzie has just started walking my dog. She has been great with her. She’s great with Communication, patience, kindness, and going the extra mile. My girl loves her. I can’t recommend McKenzie enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my own pup, Penny! I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for pups of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I work from home during the week and have flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends. I live in a dog-friendly townhouse in Millcreek, surrounded by a walkable neighborhood with plenty of great spots to explore. My own dog and I love getting outside for daily walks, but I also know every pup has their own personality and needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family member. Whether your dog loves long, sniff-filled walks, playtime, or just some extra company and cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine and comfort level. My goal is simple: to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. And of course, I’m always happy to send photos and updates along the way! I work from home during the week, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m already used to taking my own dog out for regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day! I’m also available on weekends and happy to accommodate different schedules for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs when possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I live in a spacious, dog-friendly townhouse in Millcreek, surrounded by a walkable neighborhood with plenty of great spots for outdoor time. I also have a crate available if your pup is more comfortable with one. I have a dog of my own, Penny, so I understand the importance of making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I prioritize introductions and making sure everyone is a good fit. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, respect your home, and provide updates and photos along the way!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. This varied over the years, but I have walked dogs, stayed at the owners house, or just letting them out to go to the bathroom. I have trained my current chocolate lab to the lovable dog she is today. I am great with animals and have had very little issues with animals in my past. I’m currently working a full time job that is a hybrid role that has flexibility to be fully remote. I have a very flexible schedule and should be able to make most schedules work. I will keep a dog in a fenced in area or always on a leash while taking them outside. I typical don’t have any issues getting a dog into a crate.
About: If I had to choose between a room full of people and a room full of animals, I’m choosing the animals. Every single time. I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely believe that caring for someone’s pet is a huge responsibility. I have two beloved cats of my own who are my entire world, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that trust lightly. My cats are strictly indoor cats, and I’m extremely attentive to keeping them safe and secure. I know how important it is to follow each pet’s specific routine and boundaries—from making sure doors are never accidentally left open to keeping potential hazards out of reach. The little details matter, and when it comes to animals, I’m pretty obsessive about them. I’m the person who notices if your pet’s water bowl is getting low, double-checks the door before leaving, makes sure there isn’t a rogue hair tie or piece of string within reach, and will happily send you way too many photos because I know you want to see your fur baby. 🙂 I’m naturally very organized, attentive, and probably a little Type A when it comes to animal safety and wellbeing, which is exactly how I think it should be! I also have a huge soft spot for pit bulls. I absolutely adore their goofy, sweet, big-hearted personalities. But honestly, I love creatures of all kinds. I’m the person who will carefully escort a spider outside rather than squish it. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect. During the week, I work from home in a corporate role, which gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would expect from someone caring for my own. Whether your pet is a social butterfly who wants to play, a couch potato who just wants company, or a little more cautious and needs someone to earn their trust, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets are FAMILY. And I’d be honored to take care of yours. 💚🐾 I work from home in a corporate role Monday-Friday, so I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I love having animals as part of my day, so they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to animal safety and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any specific instructions you leave. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My two cats are strictly outdoors and not once have they ever gotten out, nor have I ever not been aware of where they are at all times.
About: My daughter loves dogs and wants to make some money while playing with dogs. We have dog sit for friends dogs for a few years and now are trying to Rover out. I’m not working currently and am at home all day and when my daughter is finished with school she will be home all day to. We have a fenced in back yard and no pets at home, I have 2 kids that love dogs. They are 11 and 13. My daughter wants a dog, but we travel a lot, so we thought we’d try dog sitting to get her dog fix.
About: I have experience with all sorts of pets, ever since I was a kid we watched my relative’s dogs, cats, we even watch a relative’s pet bird! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, I cannot imagine a life without my Lolly who has been by my side since 2019. We do almost everything together. I would love to care for your pet’s the same way I care for all animals. I work full time but am very flexible and can make myself available to meet your needs. Recently I got done watching my friend’s ferrets and made myself available to see them 2-3 times a day for feeding, cleaning, and of course play time In my apartment my dog is safe and comfortable while I am away and when I am home we go for long walks and play in the dog park.
About: I’ve had animals in my life from the very beginning! We always had dogs and cats growing up and I got to experience the wide range that different personalities can bring. From a feisty rat terrier to an energetic GSP, I’m happy to jump in and do what’s needed. I love being active, so happy to take them for a walk or throw the ball around. Also happy to sit back and enjoy calm time together if that’s more their style. I work remote two days a week on Mondays and Wednesdays and am around most weekends when needed! I can be pretty flexible to meet your needs. I have always lived by the standard that pets are part of the family. My three cats are my children and when your pets are in my care, I will treat them with the same level of love and responsibility as I do my own.
About: I was lucky enough to grow up with a dog, and from a young age held several responsibilities to help care for him. I helped to train him as a puppy, prepared his food (consisting of freshly prepared meat and produce), took him on walks and runs, and cleaned up after him as necessary. Additionally, I’ve taken care of several classmates cats and dogs this past year when they leave for weekend trips or holidays. Being a medical student, my schedule is flexible and allows me multiple hours of free time throughout the day which would allow me maximal flexibility to care for your furry loved ones. Leaving a client’s home in the same condition I was welcomed into it is a priority to me. I keep my own house cleaner than most, and would never want someone to come home from a long day or fun trip and feel the need to clean before they’re able to feel comfortable in their own home again.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shalamar
Adam did a great job taking my pup for a walk (jog) which my dog loved! My dog is skeptical of new people, and does not like to leave the yard on a leash with anybody else but Adam was able to work with my pup and feed him treats to get him to go on a run. Thanks so much!
I really appreciate how Stetson took the time to get to know my dog before even putting his harness on. My dog of course barks at new people and takes a minute to warm up. But Stetson took extra time to get down on his level and let my dog get to know him. I really thought that was super nice.
Faith is such a great dogwalker and carer for Murdoch. We appreciate the reports she sends during their walks, with photos and videos as well. She is considerate, mindful, prompt and quick to communicate. She also goes above and beyond like bringing inside mail or packages if we have any lying around -without being asked. 🎈 We also appreciate that she is so easy to work with and most of all, our dog loves her. Super bummed that she is leaving us but she is HIGHLY recommended and will surely care for your pets in the best way. We'll miss you Faith. Thank you for being there for our Murdoch.
Rachel is amazing! This was my dog’s first time walking with someone other than myself and my husband. Rachel was very passionate about making sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. The communication was prompt and clear. I was nervous as a new puppy parent. However, once I met Rachel, all of my worries melted away. I can not recommend Rachel enough! I’m looking forward to booking Rachel again in the future. Thank you for everything!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Shalamar is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 Shalamar. 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 Shalamar after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 Shalamar. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
