About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with both dogs and horses helped build a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and daily care. Today, I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time outdoors with them, especially hiking and staying active. Pet sitting for friends has also provided opportunities to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits every day except Saturday. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or times that best fit your pet’s routine. Whether your fur baby needs a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets are secure, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I can take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and even watering plants or collecting mail. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. Even though visits take place in your home, I treat each environment with respect and make sure your pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their own space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 99 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Short. 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 Short. 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 Short 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.

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.

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.
