About: I have been babysitting and pet sitting for 5+ years. I love animals and always have! I love running around with them, taking them to the park, throwing their ball, playing tug of war, etc. Animals are family and should be treated as such! I am prepared for puppies all the way to old aged dogs. I have been around dogs my entire life and as they have provided me with happiness I intend to always do the same back. I am available to meet the animals before hand and have a meeting so that we know we are a right fit! Don’t hesitate to ask about any extra things while your gone like watering the plants, cleaning, or running errands. Me and your dog will have an amazing time! I am currently a nurse so my schedule is constantly changing. I typically work three 12hr shifts during the week! I just wanted to add this to my weekly regimen because this is something I did before becoming a nurse and miss. I am excited to meet you and your pets! I will care for your babies the same way I care for mine - with love, patience, and playfulness. I can also do extra care such as watering plants!

About: I’ve been looking after my family’s, as well as my own animals for years. I can appropriately handle both higher and lower energy animals, as well as care for animals that need special attention. Two of my kittens have asthma so I’m good with around the clock medications when they are needed. I’m currently a freshman in college, I have a part time job with super flexible hours and work schedules. I don’t mind staying over or even dropping by every few hours if they don’t need 24 hour supervision. I am very capable of taking larger or even smaller dogs on walks if needed, or just keeping an eye on them in the yard. I don’t mind cleaning up after them as well. Most of the cats that I have are rescues and require taking medication so I do have experience with administering those when needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My family owns many pets and has consistently relied on me to provide care for them. I trained my dog when he was a puppy and I am confident in handling medications for older pets as well, so I am comfortable working with a wide age range of animals. I am currently a college student looking for a summer job, so I would have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after 4:30 p.m and any other day of the week at any time. I am absolutely open to multiple daily visits or even staying overnight if necessary. I will send updates throughout the day so you can rest assured your pup is well taken care of!

About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.

About: Hello, im Bryt! Ever since I can remember my family has always cared for pets. Along with always having a dog and cat around we even had a guinea pig and rabbit at one point. I have watched many pets of all different sizes and need of care. Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet sitting and have many reviews show if needed. I have flexibility in my work which allows me more time to spend with animals. My schedule is flexible so im able to make a good amount of stuff work. I treat the animal with respect and care. I love to go for walks or cuddle up depending on each pets needs and wants. I was a nanny for over 8 years and often house and pet sit for others so caring is second nature to me.

“I reviewed a few months ago and wanted to follow up. At this point Zach has watched all my pups and I can’t stress enough how great he is. He takes the time to build with each dog, he asks a lot of questions, and genuinely cares about making sure they feel as comfortable as possible when we are gone. He is such a good dog sitter, and a really great guy in general. The only down side is now we don’t want to share him! Haha. Honestly though, your dog would be in very capable hands. Thanks Zach!”

About: I have grown up mainly with dogs my entire life, but I have loved barn kitties and my friend’s cats like my own. I am experienced in training my own dogs, from basic orders to fun tricks. I am happy to handle dogs which are large or small, timid or energetic, etc. I have experience pet sitting both cats and dogs for friends and walking other peoples’ dogs, but I have less than a year of experience using a platform like this one. I truly love working with animals and I am ready to serve your pets to the best of my ability! I am a college student who is home for the summer and I would love to be able to fill my summertime with taking care of animals. Therefore, I am available to walk or pet sit any time of the week! When pet sitting in a client’s home, I am intentional when making sure that the pets feel safe and taken care of. I am willing to work with any quirks your pets may offer with the help of information beforehand from the client, but I can also be flexible. My main goal when pet sitting is to make sure that the animal feels safe with me and that they do not feel as though their routine is turned upside down by me.

About: For over 15 years, I have been the go to person for pet care among friends, family, and neighbors and it is something I genuinely love doing. From quick drop ins to let a pup out for a bathroom break to full time care for two weeks while an owner was away, I have handled it all. I am trusted to feed, walk, play with, and comfort dogs of all sizes and personalities. What started as a favor has grown into something I take real pride in. Whether it is a laid back older dog or a playful puppy, I treat every pet like they are my own. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat! I will be available most days and times. Please contact me to see if I am available and I will see if I can get your needs taken care of! I can keep your pet safe with any means necessary. Please tell me specifics about your animal’s habits and rules for him or her so I can appropriately accommodate.

About: I spent time during jr. high and high school as a volunteer at a therapeutic farm. We spent time with recused animals. I learned how to groom, handle, and clean up after horses and dogs mostly. We then partnered these rescue animals with children who had been through traumatic situations. They would help each other cope with their past traumas. I also have been employed as a dog bather and animal care technician in the past. I believe due to my past experiences and my love for animals, I will be the perfect companion for your furry friend. Whether it’s a run, playtime in the dog park, pet sitting or just checking in at your home; I will be there when I’m needed. I am very flexible in my availability and I look forward to working with you and your fur babies!

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they sometimes need. I'm a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra TLC, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I have pretty flexible availability and would love the opportunity to make sure your furry family members feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like one of my own! I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. I love spending quality time with animals, so your pets will never feel like just another appointment on my calendar. I'll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and keeps them happy and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands. I have three dogs and two cats of my own, and creating a safe, loving environment for animals is second nature to me. I always prioritize your pet's comfort, follow your instructions carefully, and take the time to understand their individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and well-being will always come first.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shepherd

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,249 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shepherd. 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 Shepherd. 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 Shepherd 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 Shepherd. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
