About: Hi there! With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of caring for dogs and other pets, I’ve learned that good pet care is about more than just showing up. It’s about paying attention, being reliable, and taking the time to understand each animal as an individual. I love getting to know their personalities, routines, and little quirks so I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, anxious, or somewhere in between. I’m very attentive to body language and changes in behavior, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. I believe patience, consistency, and a little extra attention can make a big difference in how comfortable a pet feels with someone new. I also know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pets. I value clear communication and will keep you updated throughout your booking, whether that’s through Rover cards, photos, or a quick message about how things are going. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about whether your pets are being taken care of. Whether you need a quick drop-in, regular walks, an extended house sit, or care for your farm animals, I’m happy to help. I treat every animal I care for with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would give my own. Rates are not set in stone, and I’m happy to work with you when I can to make sure your pets get the care they deserve. I work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This allows me to work around different routines and give your pets the time and attention they need without feeling rushed. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules when I can, and I do my best to keep my availability flexible for my clients. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m mindful of both the animals and the space they’re in. I always approach each visit with safety in mind, making sure doors and gates are secure, following feeding and care instructions carefully, and paying attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. I also try to be aware of each pet’s behavior and body language so I can respond appropriately if something seems different or unusual. I understand that having someone come into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I treat that trust with respect. I’ll take care of your home as I would my own and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are being looked after.
“My pup Draconi loves his time with Dayonna. She truly cares and really gives him love when she picks him up. His tail wiggles when she arrives, are outta control, and he is so excited to see her. I highly recommend Dayonna. She is communicative, keeps you up to date on the walk, and sends photos, too. Don't miss an opportunity for your furbaby to get the best attention.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8. For the last 7 years I have taken care of my neighbors pets, cat and/or dog. I would be more than happy to take care of yours! I am a college student home for the summer, I am not working and always home so I am always available for taking care of your pets as if they were my own! I have a deck, plenty of open space near my house for your pets to run around, I also have a dog who is friendly and would love to keep yours company.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southern Gateway
Such a wonderful person to have watch our senior baby. We had a worry-free vacation knowing that such a caring soul was looking after Hans and meeting his needs each walk, no matter how particular and stubborn he can be. We genuinely looked forward to each walk summary. I personally think you could blog these interactions! Thank you so much. 🐾
Cheyenne is an absolute pro! She replied promptly to my dog walking request and was able to quickly set up a meet & greet. She was very patient with my dog, who had never had a “stranger” as a dog walker/sitter and was able to successfully walk him on their first one-on-one despite his anxiety. She kept me up to date on her arrival times and almost immediately sent my dog’s report card out after his walks. After only a couple of days, my dog really warmed up to her, wanting her to stay and play. I’m glad I was able to find someone who’s obviously great with animals but is also trustworthy and professional!

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 Southern Gateway. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Southern Gateway.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Southern Gateway. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
