About: Hi, I'm Tisha! I’ve always loved animals! I personally have 3 dogs: Banzo (8), an Australian Shepherd, Nugget (10), an American Eskimo mix, and MJ (12), a chiweenie mix. Also, I have a tabby cat named Tamago and one goldfish, Buey (2). I’ve cared for Banzo since he was a puppy. And I have adopted Nugget since he was about 1 and MJ I adopted more recently as a senior. Tamago our cat found me, and I have helped her even give birth to her 6 kittens. My dogs are all trained from commands to potty training, to even crate training. Growing up I also had a maltipoo who lived to be 18 and a tabby cat who lived to be 14. My favorite thing about my pets is coming home and seeing them and seeing how excited they are to see me. I can ensure that I will take care of your fur baby like one of my own. I'll promise to provide safety, socialization and fun. I love my pets and care for them deeply, they’re like my kids! And I can ensure I will love yours too. Pet care is something I can fit into my schedule as I typically work from home for part of the week and I have flexibility on the weekends. My dogs are friendly and are very well trained they tend to mind their own business. As well my cat tends to do her own thing and isn't afraid of dogs. If need be my dogs are crate trained if there needs to be any separation.

About: Five years as a devoted dog mom, and pet care is my full-time focus — I'm home all day, so your dog gets constant company, never a long stretch alone. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, from tiny lap dogs to big breeds, and I love learning each dog's personality, favorite games, and what makes them feel at home. I'm comfortable with the whole range: puppy housebreaking and basic training, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, strict medication schedules, and anxious or shy dogs who need extra patience. My home has fully fenced front and back yards for safe outdoor play, and I keep every dog on their normal feeding, potty, and walk schedule. I offer flexible early drop-off and late pickup, and you'll get photo and video updates throughout the stay. Pet care is my full-time focus — I'm a stay-at-home sitter, home all day every day. My whole routine revolves around the dogs: morning potty breaks and breakfast, yard playtime, midday walks, afternoon cuddles, and dinner on each dog's usual schedule. I'm flexible with early drop-offs and late pickups, including weekends. Dogs are rarely alone here — never more than an hour or two for a quick errand. My home has fully fenced front and back yards for safe outdoor play, and I keep every dog on their normal feeding, potty, and walk routine, following medication instructions exactly as written. Before our first booking, I always do a Meet & Greet so we can go over routines and make sure your dog is comfortable. I send photo and video updates throughout every stay.

I share my home with three standard poodles, all agility- and obedience- trained, and I’ve fostered and rehabilitated countless rescued “oodles of poodles.” My background includes whelping litters, supporting dogs in distress, and providing structured, confidence-building care for nervous or high-energy pups.

Whether you’re traveling for work or taking a much-needed vacation, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. With three standard poodles, pet care is already part of my everyday routine. I plan dedicated blocks for walks, drop ins and dogs who needs extra care.

About: I've been pet sitting since HS and grew to learn a lot about proper care and training. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and maintaining excellent communication. I am extremely clean and respectful while in others homes, being quiet to ensure the neighbors are not disturbed also. I love giving tons of attention and cuddles to all the babies :) I also go above and beyond to talk to them, explaining everything and helping them feel safe (it seems extra, but it really does help them). I have personally owned and lived with dogs, cats, chinchillas, chickens, birds, reptiles, and fish. *please note the rover rates are estimated with auto calculation, they include a brief meet & greet, and totals will be confirmed after meet & greet based on the level of care and dedicated time needed for the pets during the stay. Discounts apply for proximity to my home, as well. I currently work remotely part time so I am able to schedule check ins throughout the late morning to evening, between meetings and appointments. With all pet care services I offer, I schedule a window of time for the visit to allow myself flexibility within the flow of my day. I prefer to arrive in my best energy to care for animals so I schedule a lot of buffer to eliminate any hectic timelines. I usually prefer to do a meet & greet in advance to get all care instructions (I take my own notes), but I can also manage well if there is an instruction sheet with details. I just try to stick to everything as closely as possible so the only change for the animals is that their human is not home. I am also very observant of body language and can spot when the animals is feeling stressed to be able to adjust the environment and help them feel safe again.

Amir has been wonderful with my little pit mix, Stormy. He was very thoughtful in learning about her quirks and the reactivity issues that she can have on leash. He wanted to make sure he understood how to work with her, and he took the time to really listen. She warmed up to him immediately. When he returned for only her second walk, she pulled me out the door to greet him. I have appreciated his care for her so much! He's definitely a great person to spend quality time with your buddies, and his communication with me has been excellent as well. I highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sorenson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sorenson is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $38 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 14,146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sorenson. 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 Sorenson. 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 Sorenson 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 Sorenson. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.
