About: Experienced with dogs and cats, and a lifelong pet owner. I’ve provided both pet and house sitting and understand how important trust is when leaving your pets. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every home and pet with respect. I’m currently working toward becoming a real estate agent, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I prioritize being reliable, communicative, and consistent. As a lifelong pet owner with four cats, I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I follow all care instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello, I'm excited to welcome your fur buddy into our home. We will love them as our very own and keep them happy while your away. I've owned dogs since I was in elementary and have provided care for my family and friends. I work a flexible, hybrid schedule which makes it convenient to be available care for our fur guest. I'm off every weekend and will have a laid back daily routine for them. Walks, playtime, outside play and of course snuggles. I will accommodate each and every pups needs. I have a very safe home. Our back yard is fenced in with tons of running and exploring space. I will NOT keep aggressive dogs. If you know your dog is aggressive and doesn't get along with other dogs, please do not choose me. I have to ensure the safety for all of my babies. (Pups) As an extra precaution I ask for an updated picture of your dog's shots record. This provides transparency for all parties. I want to make sure that all if my babies are safe and healthy at all times.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in sixth grade, I am now a sophomore in college and I am looking to expand. I have had many animals my whole life, including dogs, guinea pigs, a bunny, fish and more. I have always advocated for proper care and exercise of animals and vouch to care for others animals the same way I do my own. I work a part time job at a coffee shop with shifts that usually last 4-8 hour. I have always been able to make pet care work with this schedule especially if the families live close enough. My usual routine for my current clients includes visiting once around 7:30 am, again around 11-12, coming back for dinner from 5-6 and then once more right before bedtime depending on the pet. I always make sure the animals space is clean and tidy so they are not sitting in their filth while I am gone. I refill water every time I leave and check food depending on the owners schedules. I usually spend about 30 minutes per visit with the animal to ensure they get all of their energy out and are properly cared for before I head back out but of course this varies for every one. I can take dogs for walks or play with them outside in a yard. I stick to the schedule the family provides with of course a little variation due to my work schedule but this is made known before taking a job!
About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid! I have experience with a wide range of pets from a small lizard to a big Great Dane. I worked with all types of animals and know that they are all unique and lovable! I have experience in all kinds of pet care from in home stays to stop in feedings and walks to providing special care like giving medications. I am currently in a part time position so I have a very open schedule for frequent check ins, early mornings and multiple walks! I am also able to do longer overnight stays due to my wide availability. Since I have a lot of experience with different pets I’ll create an open and loving environment for your pet by meeting them where they are and allowing them to grow trust by respecting their space and providing them with the care and attention they are accustomed to!
“Sophia is absolutely wonderful! She came by the house today so I could meet her and introduce her to my sweet Theo, and I couldn't be more impressed. She was incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely excited to spend time with Theo. Her love for animals was clear from the start, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’ll be in such great hands. I highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”

Such as visiting your pet/animals keeping them active with play time, keep them outside as much as possible for exercise/potty time. I can make sure they are fed/watered. Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 310 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sheldon. 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 Sheldon. 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 Sheldon.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Sheldon. 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.
