“Emily is wonderful! She kept me updated on my pups health & wellness, I felt at ease on my trip knowing I had someone who genuinely cared for my dog in my absence. I would 100% book with Emily again! I HIGHLY recommend!! Thank you Emily!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’m also passionate about animal rescue and regularly volunteer at local animal shelters. My own dog is a rescue who I found after being dumped, and giving her a safe, loving home has made my appreciation for animals even stronger! I always treat my animals like they are family (because they are!!) and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I offer a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to coordinate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on availability. I understand that every pet has their own schedule, and I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care while keeping you updated along the way. Feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times, and I’ll do my best to make it work! When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own environment, especially when their owners are away. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to keep your home tidy and respect your space while I’m there. I love sending photo updates and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for. I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own!
About: I’ve been caring for Dogs for the last 12 years from all kinds of breeds. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding with their schedule, and keeping them active and happy! I am currently in the airforce, I am available between Thursday, Friday and Saturdays to spend time with your pups. I’m also available mornings and nights or whatever works for you:) I will make sure they go on plenty of walk and go outside. They also will get all the love and attention they need. I will also make sure they always have a source of water!
“I was very nervous for my first dog walking experience but she made me feel much more comfortable by sending me photos of the trip and being very professional about it.”
About: What sets me apart is my rigorous attention to detail and a background in health and wellness. I understand that your pet’s health isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about monitoring their well-being, strictly adhering to dietary or medication requirements, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. Whether it's managing complex care instructions or simply keeping a keen eye on their health and comfort, I bring a level of professionalism and vigilance that ensures your peace of mind while you are away. I also provide consistent photo/text updates so you have peace of mind while being away from your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. This means I can offer your pet more companionship, frequent check-ins, and a stable routine that minimizes stress while you're away. Because my time is dedicated to being home-based, I can ensure your pet receives the extra playtime, consistent feeding times, and reliable care they deserve, giving you total peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, I am highly experienced in safely managing outdoor time using a leash to ensure your pet gets the necessary exercise and potty breaks in a secure, controlled manner. I am also comfortable with crating and strictly following your established house rules to maintain your pet's comfort and safety. Furthermore, I am completely flexible and happy to provide pet-sitting services directly in your home, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment, which is often the most stress-free experience for them. I do not have any animals currently of my own.
About: I’ve had pets of my own for the last ten years, and I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors , so I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry loved ones in someone else’s care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with the same love, attention, and consistency I give my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy, a senior pet who needs a gentler touch, or a shy cat who just needs a calm companion, I take time to learn each animal’s unique personality and routine. I’m prone to sending daily photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and commitment to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From long walks to cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins throughout the work week, and I’m home and fully available on weekends for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. I make it a priority to give each pet quality time, attention, and care — whether that’s a quick walk, playtime, or some extra cuddles before bedtime. Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or stopping by for check-ins, I make sure they’re in a calm, familiar environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times — and pay close attention to any special instructions you provide. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes for security, and I take extra care with pets who are shy, curious, or still learning boundaries. You can count on me to treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. I’ll keep things tidy, provide photo updates, and make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my families pets, and my neighbors pets since I was 13 years old. Everyone and my neighborhood trusted me to go and feed their fur babies and if need to be, take them for a walk. I am currently working part time, as a certified nursing assistant. So I have very flexible hours and I’m willing to work with your schedule. If your fur baby will be boarding with me, I have one loving dog they can play with and/or I have two very playful cats and a variety of space where they can play.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 144 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sligo. 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 Sligo. 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 Sligo 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 Sligo. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
