About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: I am a caring individual who has extensive experience in pet care. I welcome active puppies, older dogs, large dogs and small dogs. I have a Cane Corso and a Chocolate Lab. I have raised and trained over 15 dogs. I live on 2 acres of land which will allow pups plenty of room to stretch their legs and play. There is no such thing as an "outdoor or indoor dog." Most dogs enjoy the outside with humans and should not be left out unattended or overnight as they are part of the family. Please permit me to show your dog the same love and care I show my own pups. I treat my dogs like my children and would treat any visiting pet the same way. My home is his or her home during the stay and he or she will be welcomed into the family. Please pay special note below as owners sometimes have a tendency to pick up late then fail to review my late policy. This is VERY important! ------------------------------------ Pick up and drop off times are acceptable between 8 am and 6 pm. Please request pick up and drop off times that are commensurate. Any time beyond the drop off hour hours agreed upon will incur an additional fee. Please do not contact me on the date of pick up and request a later pick up time then become angry when there is an additional fee as I have explained this clearly in my profile beforehand. Also please DO NOT fail to call then pick up your pet late and not expect a late fee. My schedule is important too. Meet and greets will be scheduled no more than a week in advance of the sitting. Please ensure Rover profiles are complete with pictures and descriptions of behavior before contact. Please be prepared to provide proof of rabies vaccination at meet and greet. Flea and tick treatments are recommended due to the large amount of grass. Please ensure pups are house trained, not just crate trained. Thank You Since I have two pups to love daily, caring for an additional dog or two is no additional work. The visiting pups would be included in the daily routine. I have a fenced yard and I watch the pups closely when they are outside to ensure the temperature is adequate and the dogs are comfortable. I can take them for walks to help release the pent up energy for some younger puppies.

Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

About: I began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m committed to giving each one the individual attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of cuddles, or your cat prefers a calm environment, companionship, and a little extra patience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of care! I am in the military and I am currently in port and looking for some extra work just to help pay the bills. I can be there in the afternoon and evenings when I am not on duty but I can be there all day on weekends if I don’t have duty as well. I take them on walks and feed them daily. They have plenty of toys and are very active but also I may spoil them a little too much.

About: My partner and I don’t currently have any pets and we will love to take care of yours! ❤️ I’ve been around dogs since age four and since then I’ve cared for numerous dogs, including those with special health needs. 🏥💉I’ve been a Rover sitter for several years and now provide full-time, attentive care. Comfortable with administering medications and following detailed care instructions, I ensure every dog feels safe and loved. If you’d like to meet up at a dog park to ensure that this is the best fit for you and your furry friend, just let me know! I do this because I love animals! I am a full time dog sitter and trainer I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I start mornings around 7 a.m. with feeding, followed by walks and playtime. Throughout the day, pets receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I provide constant supervision, and pets are only crated if needed or requested by the owner. I rarely leave the house, and if I do, it’s only for short, essential errands and never for more than an hour. In a client’s home, I maintain their space respectfully while ensuring their pet receives attentive, reliable care at all times. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs get plenty of daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I prioritize regular outdoor time so pets stay happy, active, and mentally stimulated, even without a yard.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️

About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,188 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Starke. 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 Starke. 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 , 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 Starke 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Starke. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
