We needed some help to cover when our usual dog walker went of town for a bit. Cassidy has been great with our pup! She's very professional, always arrives when she says she will, rain or shine. We get pictures and updates and in general she's great with communication.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’m comfortable and confident handling a wide range of needs. I regularly bathe, feed, and walk not only my own dogs but also those of friends and family. I also have hands-on experience with post-surgery care, so I’m attentive and gentle when it comes to administering medications or helping a dog recover comfortably. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. As a teacher, my schedule is very pet-friendly. I’m off during the summer, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I finish work by mid-afternoon, allowing me to be available for afternoon walks, evening visits, or overnight care. My routine is consistent and reliable, which means your pet will always get the attention and care they need—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or a relaxing walk. In your home, I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family, with plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at ease. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

Siyani is absolutely AMAZING! My rescued pup is a reactive dog, and it’s usually very difficult for him to warm up to new people,!especially when it comes to walks or being cared for by someone new. But with Siyani, he felt safe right away!! She has such a calm, kind energy that made Toby comfortable and confident, which is something I honestly didn’t think I would find outside of our family. Finding someone who can handle a rescue pup with patience and love is rare, and Siyani has completely earned my trust. This experience gave me the peace of mind I needed, and now I know I’ve found my go-to sitter for Toby, not only for dog walks but also for when I travel. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Jessica was absolutely fantastic! She was prompt in her responses, incredibly reliable, and took great care of my pups. From the start, her communication was clear and professional, and I always felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands. She showed genuine care and attention, which means a lot as a dog owner. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jessica again and will absolutely look to book her whenever possible. Highly recommend!

About: I have taken care of pets for my whole life! I grew up on a farm with at least three dogs and five indoor cats at a time! I have worked at Dr. Mimnagh’s office as a veterinary assistant since 2020. With years of experience, I am more than qualified to care for, feed, and administer all medications to cats and dogs. I am comfortable with handling all sizes and personalities of cats and dogs. I have a dog and two cats of my own that I care for on the daily! I love to have fun with the animals and play with them but safety for all involved is the main priority. I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina and am looking to make some extra money over the summer! I personally have five cats and three dogs which I care for daily. I also work at a local vet clinic at least four days a week as a veterinary assistant. I do my best to volunteer at the Harrisburg humane society weekly for shelter skip day! My personal pets are fed by me, cleaned up after, walked and given attention daily! Unfortunately due to my pets, I will not be taking clients pets to my house. However, I would be giving the clients pets a great deal of attention whether that include playing with them, walking and feeding them etc.

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life, and was raised with 5 huskies. Since then, I’ve had a variety of animals, including a salamander, chinchillas, ferrets, dogs, cats, and hamsters. I'm looking for clients who will not mind if my son tags along for a visit or a walk, and an excuse to get us both out of the house (walking is a bonus!). I have experience working as a dog trainer with shelter and rescue dogs, so difficult behaviors are no issue! I would love to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I currently work 3-4 days a week and have availability Fridays thru Mondays (sometimes Tuesdays) to help care for your critters while you take long weekend getaways :) I treat a client’s home with respect, and do my very best follow routines as closely to what you do as I can. My goal is to provide safe, secure care thag you can rely on.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shellsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,713 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shellsville. 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 Shellsville. 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 Shellsville.

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 Shellsville. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
