About: I’m a registered nurse (RN) with over 30 years of experience owning and caring for animals, including dogs, cats, fish, and small animals. My nursing background has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and providing compassionate care. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every animal with the same kindness, gentleness, and respect I would want for my own. You can count on me to provide dependable, loving care and help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. My background as an RN has taught me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to details. I enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away! I provide loving, attentive care in your home, following your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication as instructed, and plenty of affection. As an RN, I’m responsible, patient, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my priority!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to combine dependable, detail-oriented care with a calm, patient approach that helps pets feel comfortable right away. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, including basic puppy training support, leash manners, crate acclimation, and helping older pets with slower-paced routines or medication schedules. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality, and I keep communication clear and consistent so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to build trust, comfort, and confidence with every visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my schedule around my visits and walks. I plan my mornings and afternoons specifically to allow plenty of time for feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins without feeling rushed. Since I work from home I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. This lets me provide reliable care, maintain routines, and stay responsive to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and house rules exactly as instructed. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, and I keep their environment clean—refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws, and tidying up any messes. I also pay close attention to their behavior and health so I can update you with regular photos and notes. My goal is to make your pet’s day feel as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

“I am so INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for Arianna and Trevor. Leaving my dog for over two weeks was an incredibly difficult thing for me. She has attachment issues, and is super difficult to walk… She’s reactive to squirrels cats and random other dogs. She is the love of my life and I find it so hard to find anyone I can trust to care for her. Arianna and Trevor helped establish a relationship with my dog Annie before I even left. They were so attentive to her needs and sent me photos and updates every day. I could tell that they had really listened to me and my requests and were super mindful of Annie as an individual dog. They were so attentive to her needs and sent me photos and updates every day. I could tell that they had really listened to me and my requests and we’re super mindful of Annie as an individual dog. They anticipated her reactivity. They showed her love and kindness. I cannot recommend these two caring people highly enough and I will trust them in the future exclusively with my precious pup. Thank you, Arianna and Trevor! I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew your competence, care, and responsibility were second to none. Looking forward to the next trip knowing I can count on you both!”

About: I’ve owned, loved, and cared for dogs my entire life, including seniors and rescue dogs. One of my dogs lived to be **19 years old**. I rescued her after her previous owner moved to France, and she even understood commands in both **French and English!** She spent her senior years being loved and spoiled alongside my Havanese, Bella. I rescued **Bella at six months old**, and I’ve had the pleasure of spoiling her ever since. She is 13 now. She’s still going strong and remains one of the sweetest dogs I know. I’m also very comfortable caring for larger dogs. I love my daughters’ Boxer and Pit Bull mix and frequently care for them—even letting them pile into bed with me at night. Dogs seem to communicate with us in their own way, and I’ve always felt that I understand them well. **Your dog wouldn’t just be a job to me—they would be treated like family.** As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver, I will ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, patience, and love—and will be treated like family. I am currently semi-retired and therefore have plenty of time to pet-sit and the flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard to accommodate small to medium dogs. We have lots of sidewalks for sniffing the roses and other lovely scents along the way. My home is casual and very dog-friendly. I also live in a gated, well-lit neighborhood in case your dog needs to go out at night.

About: Hi! I have grown up around animals my whole life but in my adult life I have had one cat and one dog. My cat adopted me around 1 year of age and my dog I got when she was a puppy. Unfortunately both of my animals have passed away. My cat about 3 years ago and sadly my dog passed away in April of this year, 2026. I feel a huge hole without animals in the house but am just not ready to get another one yet. I work part time, only 12 hours a week therefore I am home the majority of the time. I live on quarter acre so my backyard is a very good size for a dog to run around, it is fully fenced as well. My dog had diabetes so I am used to giving dogs shots and feel very comfortable doing so. Please choose me to take care of your pet and give them lots of love! You wont regret it! I am currently working part time, 12 hours a week so I am home the majority of the time. My kids go to school during the week as well so my house is nice and quiet for animals to nap, relax, or get plenty of attention from me while the kids are away. I live on quarter acre so ai have a big backyard that is fully fenced perfect for a dog to run around in. My neighborhood is large with multiple walking paths perfect for taking dogs on walks to change the scenery. For dogs that have tons of energy I also have multiple common areas in my neighborhood perfect for throwing the ball long distances. I have plenty of space in my house for a crate if your animal is needing a space of their own or put in their crate at night.

About: Hi, I’m Arica! I’m a caring, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly couldn’t imagine it any other way. I currently have one cat, three dogs, and a few birds—and yes, they’re absolutely spoiled because they’re family to me. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel at ease. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, including cats, dogs, birds, and more. My goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I’d want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to become your trusted go-to pet sitter. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Caring for my own pets is part of my daily routine, so looking after yours fits in naturally. I have a flexible schedule and plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and love they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers a quiet day full of cuddles, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I currently do not offer in-home stays because our home is getting renovated and it is a little chaotic at times, but I am happy to come to you for all your pet needs!

About: Hi there! I'm Charley, I’ve recently moved to the Meridian/Boise area from Wyoming. I moved in with my sister who has 2 mini golden doodles who I love to take care of, take on walks, and also get pup-cups with. I grew up with a Rottweiler, beagle, and blue heeler, so I am definitely well rounded when it comes to taking care of different types of dogs. While in high school I talked my mom into letting me get my own dog with all of the included responsibility. One of my favorite parts of having a dog was teaching her all of the basic commands and tricks. I'm passionate about giving dogs the care and attention they need. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand the importance of a well-taken care of and happy pup. Whether it's an overnight stay or a leisurely stroll, I'm here to ensure your furry friend has a great time while you’re away! I’m currently working Monday through Friday from around 8am-5pm with some days only working till noon. I have all nights off, so I will be able to care for the pets however they need. My weekends are usually pretty open with occasionally working some Sundays! I do not offer in home care for your pets at the moment. In clients homes, I will be able to care for your dog as much as he/she needs whether they need multiple walks, specific eating times, or medications.

About: I have been pet sitting/housesitting for at least three years now! I am nanny and have been for many years and those families also use me as their pet/house sitter when they need! I love pets and am a very honest, kind, and trustworthy candidate. I have experience the most with dogs and cats but would be open to some other animals. I have grown up around pets since my family had a lot so I am used to the work that comes with them. I am currently in two colleges and work as a nanny/babysitter. It would be nice to have another flexible job and one that allows me time to do my homework. I am only able to care for the animal in your home since I do have a family member who is allergic. You can be sure that your pet will be well taken care of and your house as well. I am big on being a kind and loving person so you pet and home are in good hands!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sonna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sonna is $16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,424 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sonna. 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 Sonna. 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 Sonna 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 Sonna. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
