About: I have 7 dogs at my house and been around animals my whole life we have 3 cats as well and chickens! I love taking cares of any time of animal you just need teach me! I am available anytime in the afternoons ranging from 12:30pm-9pm. From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed I usually am taking care of my animals but I can always fit in time for yours too!

About: I have had a disabled dog of my own since I was 8, he has seizures frequently. I also have dog sat for my neighbor on multiple occasions, of which was very large, required medication, and emotional support for her anxiety. I work part time at a restaurant so I have more than enough time to provide high quality and detailed care to your furry family members. If I work, they're typically nights, so I am more available during the day or after I get off work to do some final check ins with the pets before bed. As the care would only happen in your home, I take great pride in leaving the home better than I found it and ensuring your pets health, comfortability, and safety with the information and materials provided to me.

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the week allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in the comfort of your pets home. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit while you're away, or overnight care in your home, l'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: I have experience with pet sitting throughout the years for family, friends, and neighbors. I'd say I have a deep caring nature when it comes to all living things from puppies, cats, dogs big and small, turtles, fish, hamsters, plants, you name it! I I've had many people rely on me to take care of their pets with no complaints and I hope to also be that person for you! I am currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends/family! My schedule varies from Monday to Friday. On days I work, I am available any time after 5pm and on days I don't work, I am available any time during the day and night. I am willing to work weekends as well knowing that for many people it is the prime time for short trips away from home. I have experience with house and pet sitting throughout the years for family, friends, and neighbors. Guiding and helping others is something I truly value within myself and I can guarantee that I am trustworthy when it comes to ensuring your pets are taken care of, knowing they have a non-so-furry friendly guest coming to look after them!
“Selena is great! She's so friendly and thoughtful with her updates on how walks went and taking photos to show my dog is having fun. Definitely happy to have found her, and very grateful for the help!!”
About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one sweet cat and two fun pups! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and always willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’ve just finished a work contract and have a flexible schedule for the next few months. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates!
“Nicholas takes great care of my pup on her walks. He is quick to respond and reliable. This round of walks he helped my old lady out with a slower walk and helped coax her to eat some food to get back to being a happy pup!”
About: Ive grown up around animals my entire life. Since i can remember my family has had a pet dog. We have also had two cats since i was about 10 years old. . I love dogs and cats so much and i would take great care of yours. Im a college student looking to make a little extra money this summer so if you are too busy or just need a little bit of help im your guy!! I currently have a part-time job but im thinking of quitting that job, so i will have tons of free time to take care of any pets. I have a fenced in yard with two very playful pups. There is also tons of toys scattered throughout the house for the pups to play with. Dogs are allowed on all couches and beds. I also have two cats who are nice but also just mind their own business.
“RD did an amazing job with walking our pups while my mom was watching them when we were out of town. Our pup seemed to enjoy their walk every night! We really appreciate all of the photos she was sending to us; we really missed our fur babies so those photos were so special! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you so much RD for taking such great care of our pups!”
“I am extremely grateful to Audrey for how she has helped me with my little cooper and especially how she treats him. Excellent person, very professional, I recommend her. I definitely trust her.”

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 Shannondale. 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 Shannondale.

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 Shannondale. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
