“Alexis B. ‘S dog walking has been a true blessing. We rescued a 5 month old puppy with very little to no crate training and Alexis was available the very next day to help walk our new furry family member.”
“My fur babies sure do love Rebekah. She's always so good with them. Always on time but if she'll be late she always let's me know. That almost never happens but it's great that she notifies me.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens while traveling throughout the South East. I graduated from Auburn in August of 2021 and since then I have been driving everywhere I can to take care of animals in new places. I have loved sitting in the Columbus/Phenix City/Smiths Station area and look forward to taking care of more fur-babies in my area! I would be happy to sit in Auburn or Fort Mitchell as well, anywhere within an hour and I’m sure we can work it out! I have provided care for all kinds of critters, big, little, elderly, sick, grumpy, and silly, (most of them are silly). I strive to be the best provider for your pet-loved ones! Whatever your animal needs, we can figure it out together! My weekly routine will be all over the place this summer, but I look forward to figuring out what will work best for you! Just let me know what you need and we can figure it out together. Sadly, I will be unable to allow pets into my home, but will be happy to commute and care for your pets in their comfort zone!

“Heather was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She took great care of them, sent pictures, and was so easy to communicate with! I would absolutely recommend using her to watch your dogs!”
About: Hello, My name's Lorraine. I have a soft spot in my heart for senior dogs. I lost 2 of my eldest dogs last year ( aged 12 & 15 in 2024) and recently adopted another senior lady (Bella) from a friend that couldn't move with her. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, birds, rabbits, hamsters, rats, horses, reptiles, and insects. I do own other animals in my home (for boarding purposes)- a rosy boa (snake), a bearded dragon, a leopard spotted gecko, a tarantula, 3 rabbits, chickens, and my new senior dog -Bella. I'm currently a stay at home mom and college student. I'm home often and am pretty used to the 3-4 hour returning home schedule with my senior dogs. I have a fenced in .25 acre yard and live in a subdivision that I can safely walk dogs in. I own a large dog crate, and 2 small dog crates if dogs need to be kenneled when away or are used to sleeping in them at night.
“Madison has been walking our high energy dog for about 2 weeks now. She’s so responsive and kind and I know our boy looks forward to his time with her. Hope she stays with us for a long time! 🤣❤️”
“Ansley, is such a caring and attentive person. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is genuinely concerned about your dog's well being. I especially appreciate Ansley taking time to play with my little "Diva" fur baby after their walks.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!
About: I love pets with all my heart. I have two mini golden doodles right now but I want to grow my pet family later. I enjoy spending quality time with my pets, playing with them, watching movies with them, they are basically by my side all the time and your pets will never be out of my sight and will for sure have an amazing time and be safe with me! I am pretty open with my schedule at the moment and I am free whenever you may need me to watch your dog. I’m currently in online school to become a CMA so it works well with me dog sitting. It all depends on what my client would want for the pet. In my opinion every pet needs a different type of care of other pets. My doodles are very outgoing they love to play until they get tired but they always need to be by someone because they have desperation anxiety. So it’s a matter of listening to the owner and getting a understanding of what there pet is like and needs
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up and I now have two dogs of my own. I have a german shepherd/husky and an Aussiedor. I’ve cared for other pets like birds, lizards, chinchillas, etc. I am currently not working so I have plenty of pet time. My dogs are taken out very often, and we go on long walk/runs at least once a day. We play a lot of fetch and tug-o-war! I have two friendly dogs that love to make new friends and my 5-year-old son is obsessed with loving on all animals so there is plenty of fun and love to go around for your fur babies in this home.
About: I’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. I have volunteered at shelters for the last few years. I am comfortable with any animal if they are comfortable with me. I work full-time remote but I can easily work around my schedule. I am great for early mornings, lunch breaks(12-1pm), and anytime after 5pm. I have my own transportation so I can easily get to you. Care in your home is preferred, as my pup is still learning to be nice to other animals. This also makes it easier for your pets as they are already comfortable in that environment. I can feed, walk, and play as needed. I am also comfortable bathing your animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, but i also have experience with birds, snakes, rats, and rabbits. I’m also known as a cat whisperer and I use to walk dogs for a boarding facility. I also have fostered neonate kittens and waking up at odd hours to take care of a pet isn’t new to me. Pet care takes up most of my time in my home considering we have so many. It’s a lot of work but I don’t mind doing it I take care of my own animals every morning and night constantly. In the morning I’m use to feeding and snuggling my birds and letting them have free time in their own room. Of course take my dog on a walk and potty. I have an automatic litter robot for my cats but have years of litter scooping under my belt.
About: I have grooming experience, have large breed experience, and am willing to work with dogs who may be aggressive. Also willing to train for certain behaviors based on my own experience and your input. I will work with any schedule, 3rd shift workers or odd requests. I walk my dog 3 times a day, I use ‘sniff’ walks to keep him happy and calm throughout the day. I will ask many questions about how you train and keep your pets, as well as matching that style. I feel pets are a member of a family and I adore them as such, even if they aren’t mine.
About: I’m training dogs under my licensed trainer for about 3 years now. I’ve also been a dog foster for about 8 years. Experienced with neonatal puppies All I do is take care of animals, there safety and well-being is very important to me. If I notice something unusual you will be notified!! I have a fenced in yard, two friendly poodles of my own. They can play inside or outside at my home. I will follow any instruction that the client wants for their animal.

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 Smiths Station. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
