About: Flexible schedule sitter ready for lots of outdoor walks, cozy couch snuggles, and continuous companionship to ensure your pet feels completely safe, loved, and fully pampered My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to fully prioritize your pet’s routine. Because I have open availability, I can easily adapt to your preferred times for morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or dedicated evening companionship and playtime. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets by making them my top priority and keeping their routine exactly the same. In my home, I provide a calm, hazard-free environment with constant supervision. When sitting at a client's home, I strictly follow all house rules, secure all doors, and keep your pet safe on a leash during walks. I prevent stress by giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, cozy snuggles, and dedicated care so you always know they are in good hands.

About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher. Cats, kittens, puppies and adult senior dogs always have a place in my heart and home. I am an adopter and rescuer. I would love to help you with potty breaks to walks. Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.

Emily was amazing with my puppies! She arrived on time for the 30 minute walk. She allowed them time to both use the bathroom and even fed them once they arrived back home. I’m so glad I found someone great to help me with my pups while i’m at work!!

About: I’ve grown up with many different kinds of animals from dogs to bunnies & hamsters. I’ve also been around cats my entire life we just never had one in the house because my mom was allergic. I love animals as they have been my entire life growing up! I have been dog sitting for a year now, since January 2025 Pet care takes place in my everyday life because I have an 8-year-old dog and just got a puppy recently. I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I can take your dogs on walks if they need them daily. I would also love to play with them to keep them entertained and get there energy out. If your dog sleeps in the bed no worries I love to have a snuggle bug next me.

About: I love caring for animals, and I approach every pet as if they were my own. I have one senior American Foxhound who is my whole world. I ensure a nurturing environment where your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. I am very conscious of the care required for dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. Growing up, my family had quite the hobby farm. I have experience caring for chickens, goats, cats, big dogs, small dogs, reptiles, and fish. There are no off-limit pets for me! I also have experience as a nanny caring for children, homes, and pets. I am a full-time Rover service provider. This is my only job, so I have tons of flexibility! I would love to have a repeat client. For check-ins and dog walking services, I prioritize creating a comfortable and secure environment for pets. During check-ins, I ensure timely visits, providing food, water, and any necessary medications. Additionally, dog walking sessions focus on exercise and mental stimulation, tailoring each walk to the pet's energy level and preferences. Consistent communication with clients, keeping them informed and reassured about their pets' well-being. I will honor all house rules and respect your belongings.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shantytown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shantytown. 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 Shantytown. 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 Shantytown.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Shantytown. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
