“I contacted Ronald last minute because I couldn't walk my dog, and even though we didn't have a chance to do a meet and greet, he was patient with my dog. We're excited about more walks with him in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was born. We had a lab and a labradoodle, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Now that we have an empty house, I decided to use my experience to help dog parents in need. I have a lot of experience handling horses, so I can take good care of any size dog:) I am currently on summer break, so I have availability. I am a bunny parent and have taken care of her on my own for 5 years. We just lost our dog, but he was my furry best friend for 12 years and I took care of and walked him. I have a large area outdoors for my bunny to play in safely, and she is secured in a hutch inside the play area at night to ensure safely from predators. When it is too hot or too cold, she will come inside the house and be free roam. She is fed unlimited hay, a portion of high quality pellets and a variation of fruits and veggies as treats. She is very healthy and happy and living her best life. I prioritize the health and well being of all animals.
“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle. Living on property means I’m consistently outside and active, so dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day — not just scheduled walks. I’m used to maintaining routines for both pets and livestock, so feeding schedules, medications, supervision, and individual care needs are something I take seriously. I enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. Because I live on property, dogs have space to play, explore, and get exercise throughout the day while still being closely supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of affection while also respecting the client’s home and instructions. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I work to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, through every stage of their lives. Growing up with dogs, they have always been like family to me. I’ve had experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats and have also worked at a doggy daycare / boarding center. Spending time with furry friends never feels like work to me. I am fortunate to live at home where I know my own dog is always cared for when I am away, so I can confidently care for yours too! I always enjoy being able to go for walks and make visits during the day in between managing my other responsibilities. As a student, I typically have more availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am happy to visit and walk with your pups during the day, providing them each the individual care that they deserve. I am open to doing group walks as well, depending on your pet’s preferences. I am also able to pet sit, where I can care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home!
About: Animals have a way of positively impacting anyone they come in touch with, dogs especially. They have a power that no human being can access: immense, non-judgemental love. I was blessed with the gift of a dog in May of 2021 and cannot imagine life without the infamous piece of love (aka Chubakita ). Here is what my dog means to me I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays all day. Most of the time I spend it at home taking Tessa hikes and runs to the park. And watch lots of movies at night. That’s the reason I will love to share this days with more puppies. I have a fenced yard and one beautiful sheepadoddle puppy to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed. Really close and safe community in Sonoma just few blocks away from the dog park.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I know that your pup is a cherished family member, and my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, loved, and fully entertained while you are away. I specialize in managing all types of canine personalities—from high-energy athletes who need long hikes to shy or senior pups who prefer gentle cuddles and a quiet environment. I am well-versed in reading subtle canine body language to keep every interaction positive and stress-free. I’m also comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds, no matter their temperament. Whether your dog needs a brisk neighborhood walk, overnight companionship, or structured playtime, I am here to provide premium care. I cannot wait to meet your furry family member! I believe pets are the top priority and will always try my absolute best to fit you in. This is my job so always feel free to reach out. I have one very high energy dog who goes and multi-hour walks with me daily. And I have another who is much more of a home body and just wants to cuddle. Taking care of your dog will depend on what your dog wants. I am happy to walk your dog till they don’t want to or I am happy to cuddle and play in the yard/living room. You and your pets care will be customized to your needs.
About: I have been passionate about caring for dogs my whole life. I don’t currently have pets so spending time caring for animals through Rover has been amazing! I currently work remote, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for boarding, sitting and walking pets. I have experience with young puppies, senior dogs, special needs dogs and have done dog training as well. I have been a certified Dog-walker through Wag for 5 years and have built a very happy customer base there before recently joining Rover as well. I promise your pet is in the best hands with me! I currently work remote so I have lots of time and flexibility to provide pet care. A day with me includes lots of playtime and long walks. If I ever have to leave for a short period of time, my home and yard are the perfect safe space for a dog/cat to hang out and play! Pets in my care will be given plenty of love and attention and I will always go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and their needs are met.
“Kari was great! It was not easy to get to us and she was perfectly fine with it. She loved our baby, was on time, and made sure he got the best walk! We are super grateful and will book her again”
About: I am not your typical sitter; working with animals is just a way of life. There isn't a single animal I wouldn't love to work with!

Additionally, I am a mom. I constantly stay busy and engaged with both my children and pets. Your pets will receive the same treatment and respect as my own. They will be showered with all the love possible! While you are away, your pets will enjoy my full attention and care.
About: I am a person who cares! And I care most when it comes to your pets. My pets are my life and I understand that they are family. As an uber driver, I have a very open schedule and the ability to make frequent stops to check in with babies throughout my day! I would come equipped with a first aid kit and all safety materials. I would assure I had participated in any and all safety trainings available.

Im used to very active big dog who need lots of exercise and play time, but of course I love the little pups as well!

About: I have lots of experience caring for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I cater to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and strive to provide the best care for your pets while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize giving each pet the attention and care they need. Each day includes feeding, walking, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Weekly, I ensure pets get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and any special care they may require, like administering medication or grooming. Pet care is a rewarding part of my schedule, and I make sure to provide a structured and loving environment for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore.

Whether it's grooming, training, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure during their stay.
“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”
“Jenny stayed with George (my pug) for a long weekend and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease while we were away! Constant detailed updates, tons of pictures, and it was easy to see she was giving George just as much love as we would have given him ourselves! Highly recommend Jenny :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 9,091 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shellville Colony. 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 Shellville Colony. 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 Shellville Colony.

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 Shellville Colony. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
