About: I absolutely adore dogs. I got my own dog when I was ten years old and the requirements of getting her was that I was to take care of her. I grew up on a small farm with small animals such as goats, chickens, ducks, and horses. I now have two dogs and a cat of my own at home. I have cared for my own dog when she was pregnant and for her litter of puppies. I have had experience with all kinds of dogs and many at the same time. I am a college student and work but have many breaks during the day that I am willing to spend with your dog! I am also willing to house sit, I have experience with taking care of other animals and plants as well.

“Didn’t have the opportunity to meet Shawna in person before booking, but based on her great reviews and wonderful personality via texting, I had no doubts or worries about her taking care of my pet. She exceeded my expectations and when the time comes, I know who to go to!”
About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away.

Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon!

“Veronica has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog. She’s been an amazing communicator, willing to do the little things like wipe my dogs paws after a walk or use the same command words that I use for my dogs. The photos of her walks are an extra touch that warms my heart. Would definitely recommend Veronica for your animal needs.”
About: I know how difficult it can be finding help when it's needed to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love on the days where I am out of town or working long hours. I hope to offer that relief to you when your pet needs it. I was raised around dogs and started taking care of them independently in highschool, dogsitting throughout college, and now owning my own dog. I have dogsat reactive dogs, elderly dogs, and raised puppies. Above all, getting to understand the specific needs of each individual I help is what makes myself and your pet the most comfortable. I have more availability than listed on my Rover profile, especially on the weeeknds, so reach out! I currently work part-time, and I am available to help consistently on weekends and evenings, being able to help on the weekdays if my work allows it. Respect and communication are my priorities. Respect for your pet, schedule, property, and instructions are at the forefront of my mind to ensure that your pet is as safe as it can be in my care. I will always communicate any concerns, questions, and general updates about the visit - I never want to keep you in the dark about what your pet has been up to while you're away.
“Madisyn has been taking care of our dog Leo for several months. As witnessed from the photos she sends, he LOVES her! I come home to a contented and happy pet! Madisyn is also very respectful of our house and leaves it as she found it. We will continue entrusting Leo's care with her for months to come!”
“James shows up timely and sends thoughtful Rover cards with detailed notes and pictures. He's a great communicator and well organized. He is observant and pays attention to my dog's behavior and mood to always make sure my pup is happy and healthy. I definitely recommend hiring James!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. I feel so happy to be around them always. This is very special and heartfelt for me to care for them as often as I can. I work from home full time. I am aiming to make dog sitting a more full time active part of my day. I walk daily anywhere from 1 to 3 miles. I have a roomy apartment near a dog park that I visit often. I walk 3-6 miles a day near my home. I love visiting daily.
About: I'm a country boy originally from TX. I've worked with and around animals for my whole life. I have over two decades of pet walking and pet sitting experience (shoot, I'll even water your plants!) When pet sitting I make sure to respect all the rules my animal pal's human tells me about. I encourage educational play and can handle high-energy animals just as well as the couch potato pets. I ensure feeding schedules and strict diets are on-paw (on point lol). On walks, I encourage good leash behavior and can work on reducing unwanted behaviors, like pulling, and leash aggression. I am prepared for emergency situations as well. Prevention is key, but sometimes accidents happen and my connection with multiple vets in town can ensure prompt service. I love animals because just as each human has their own personality so does each furry friend. Im here to help you and your pet pals when you're in a pickle! I work a flexible remote job and can mobile in short notice. I care for my dog, so if house sitting will need to make occasional trips home to attend to him (dont worry my roommate keeps him company when I'm out). I am available on weekends and after 5pm week days for walks, and can house sit any day of the week as long as I can connect to wifi. I have an aging dog pal and we have been through a lot of experiences together. He didnt have the best health when I adopted him, so I had to keep with him on a strict diet and medication schedule. I treat both my clients house and four-pawed friends with the same gentle care that I show Jaxson, my dog.
About: I'm from a large family farm. I have been taking care of pets all my life. Experience in dog breeding, training, care, and much more. I do this full time. I'd love to give your pets lots of love and care! My week days and weekends are flexible. I'm here to put your mind at ease while you're gone. Able to provide care as needed in your home. Able to take pet out for play if needed. Not currently able to board pets at this time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I learn that it would be easier if the owner dropped the dog off with just a blanket with home smell, their doggie food and there favorite toys i have a crate for them at night. I am the boss at my job I make my own schedule. I have 2 akc fur babies of my own so I am use to making a routine for them and I will treat ur fur babies like they are apart of my family to. I have a fenced yard with my friendly dogs will keep urs entertained and company. I love running around and playing fetch with my doggies and my wife loves walking dogs its the best of both worlds 🌎. If u go on a trip some where and get stuck please give me a call ahead of time and I will do my best to help u and ur fur baby out. Thank U Very Respectfully DAVID .......
About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
“Leah is SO wonderful! She really helped me out on short notice. She is a great communicator, and helped feed my dog after his walk!! You’re in good hands with her. Thank you so much Leah for your help again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Shelton is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Shelton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Shelton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Shelton. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
