About: With 12 years of dog training experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and behaviors. I specialize in obedience training for all breeds, and I’m particularly experienced in training pointing dogs for upland bird hunting, as well as training dogs in various other hunting disciplines. In addition to field training, I have worked with protection dogs and understand the skills needed to develop focus, discipline, and responsiveness. I offer dog sitting at my home, dog walking, and custom training sessions tailored to your dog’s individual needs — including behavioral challenges and medical considerations. My property features a fenced yard with connected kennel run that’s safely separated by a privacy fence, plus 75 acres of diverse habitat ideal for training, hunting dog conditioning, and exercise. I’m well-versed in caring for puppies to senior dogs, and I provide patient, reliable, and expert care that helps every dog thrive. I am available any day, any time, for your needs. I offer walking any day and any length. I provide training at both my property or can come to your house. I can also stop over to let your dog out for a quick break. I am available and flexible to best tailor care to you and your dog’s needs. My property features a fenced yard connected directly to my home, in addition to a kennel run that is connected to the yard but safely separated by a gate and privacy fence. If I am sitting your dog in my home, I have a variety of dog crates and arrangements available within my home to meet your dogs needs. I have my own dogs and can have your dog interact as much or as little (or not at all) with my pack as you’d like to meet your dog’s unique needs. All dogs will be handled with a leash if not in the yard unless we have agreed to specialized training arrangements. I offer training at my property or can come to your home. I also offer dog walking. If you have questions about my services or safety protocols, please inquire.

About: I always grew up with cats but as I got older, have constantly been around dogs of all sizes as well. I currently do own one dog in our home too. I’m currently working part time and get to pick my own hours so I am very flexible! I can do some last minute pet care if the need should arise. I would be able to care for your pet in your own home. I can easily follow direction to make sure your pet is safe and comfy in their own home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sixmile

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sixmile. 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 Sixmile. 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 Sixmile 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 Sixmile. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
