About: Since I was young, I have taken care of a variety of dogs. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also been with puppies that were in the process of being potty trained. I have a flexible schedule. Please reach out to confirm my availability for specific days and times. I am also willing to take last minute bookings. In both my home and yours, I will make sure your dog is comfortable by ensuring they get to do all the things they love!
About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them ever since I can remember. I have a wide range of experience ranging from training young puppies to taking care of elderly and sick dogs. I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.
About: I have had dogs of different kinds throughout my whole life. Two rhodesian-ridgebacks, one pit bull, and a jack russel. In addition to this I have dog sat for close friends that have a Golden Doodle, A yorkshire terrier and even cats! I am prepared to deal with pet accidents, special instructions, walks, baths, feeding, etc. I am home from college for break until January 10th! I can work any day and I love all animals! I take care of my own dog every day so I am used to anything they throw at us! I got my own dog at 14 years old and am now almost 21. In high school, I woke two hours before I needed to be up for school and took my dog on a walk, then he was fed and taken out again before I left. In the afternoon after School I took my own dog and my family dog out for a walk while my mom was working from home. I bathe my dog on my own and pay for whatever he needs out of pocket. If I were to care for a dog in someone else’s home I would play with the dog and be extra conscious of the environment. Also I will take them on walks or runs and feed them when needed!! In the past when I have watched a friend’s dog they usually had instructions and times for me to go. I would do what they asked and stay a little longer to give them some company.

“Morgan was terrific! Communication was easy and very fast and she was very reliable. My dogs absolutely loved her and overall it was a fantastic experience. I loved the pictures she sent during the day and the updates. Just a tremendous experience all around. We’ll be using Morgan again for sure!”

About: Hi there! I’m Adrianna (or Adi for short), and I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to provide a nurturing environment filled with belly rubs, long walks, and endless love. Whether we are playing fetch or cuddling up for an afternoon nap, your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I am always open to discussing any additional support that your pet may need. I am currently employed but mostly work from home, so my schedule is flexible and can work around any pet’s needs—provide an extra walk, an extra cuddle session: you name it! I have a large fenced in yard that provides my animals with safe spaces for exercise. I also have a pet water fountain inside the home to promote hydration especially during the summer months. My pets always get a breakfast and dinner, though each is tailored to their specific dietary needs. Playtime is a must in my household, and my pets always receive interactive stimulation to keep their minds and bodies healthy.
About: Loving pet parents who will take special care of your pets, as if they were their own. Daily walks on the beach outside will give your pet a special feeling of freedom. My wife and I have grown up with animals and are willing to board all different types. We have a male and female Bernese Mountain dog and a female Newfoundland. We also have a female domestic long haired car and 1 rabbit. We have a 4 bedroom home where your pets will have extra space, close to an acre of property that is completely fenced in. Right outside our backyard is the bay with a private beach where we like to go for daily walks, we are sure your dogs would love the bay breeze as well. Thanks for learning about us. I work remotely so I am constantly around to stick to your pets routine. Thank you again for taking the time to review our details. I treat all animals as I treat my own, like family. Your pets will have the best of care and full attention while staying with us. We both work from home so your pets will never be left alone. We tend to be early birds so early morning wake ups to tend to the pets is our norm. We have a fully fenced in yard on a little over a 1/4 acre for your babies to run and play. They will have free range in our home. We treat all our guests like our own.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Whether it was the neighbors or my own, I have loved every experience and only hope to provide the same for you! I am well versed in walking, playing, bathing, and feeding, from simple meals to the most special meals. From pumpkin pour-overs to Ollie. Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup! I currently work-from-home. At this time, I let my dog out into the backyard every 2-3 hours with ~1 walk a day and could provide the same (or more) for you. Additionally, since I work-from-home, I am available for in-home pet care at your home if needed. I will follow whatever rules are given to me as to not disturb the pups regular routine and keep everything as normal as possible for them!

About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my entire life! I am the resident dog sitter of my friends and family, I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was probably 11-12 years old. Once I got my license, I would beg my friends to let me watch their dogs while they were on vacation! I also love taking dogs on walks! I walk my dogs daily, and I try to hike with my dogs 2-3 times a week depending on weather. We also frequent the dog park, which is the thing I most look forward to every week! I work pretty much full time at a professional theater, so my availability is week days during the morning/afternoon. I’m also around Monday and Tuesday nights. My dogs get plenty of love, affection and exercise. Since they are beagles, they get a bit clingy, so I try to be receptive to their needs! We play outside (in our fenced in yard), they have plenty of toys and then we try to finish off the day with a long walk.
About: I have experience running my own pet care business caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and personalities! including senior pets, diabetic pets and those who require a little extra attention. I specialize in making anxious dogs feel calm and safe while their pet parent is away! Feel free to check out my business website! ........ I have always had a flexible schedule, so fitting in daily walks or dog care on weekends is no issue. I would not leave your pup alone for a long period as I usually don’t work long hours. I will provide your pup with all the attention he/she craves and make sure the meals/meds are given on time. I don’t mind doing some extra things like watering house plants, bringing in mail and I especially love giving dog massages if your he/she enjoys that!

I had an emergency and within 13 hours Tania was able to walk my little pup, Ziggy!! She was so communicative and sent photos to ease my mind. She gave Ziggy 2 great walks while I was gone and Ziggy seems very happy when I got home. She followed all my directions and is very reliable!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Shirley is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $34 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 Shirley. 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 Shirley 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 Shirley. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
