“Wonderful to have Daphne come by and walk my little dogs. We're rarely away and they can be skittish with strangers but they obviously made friends. She sent happy pictures and I felt completely confident that they were well taken care of. My first choice if I need a dog walker/sitter in the future. Thank you Daphne.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary hospital and a zoo, where I learned safe handling, how to recognize signs of stress or illness, and how to maintain proper care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’m especially comfortable with active dogs as well as providing gentle care for younger or more sensitive pets. I am also quite the green-thumb if you need your plants watered!🌸🪴🌼🌱🌻 My schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, including walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in my client’s home. I am very attentive and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and supervise pets closely during play. I pay close attention to behavior and can recognize signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and safe.
“Alexandra is the best! We have a high energy, rule breaking, leash pulling Australian Shepherd. Alexandra is patient with him and sends plenty of pics and details. Highly recommend”
“Briana has been awesome. Very reliable and easy to communicate with. Our dog is very relaxed and happy when we arrive home. Thank you for being so good with our bucky!”
“So happy we found Erica to help out twice a week taking our energetic dog for a midday walk! She’s responsive on the app, clearly loves dogs, is respectful of our home, and always leaves a picture and update after the walk. We’ve settled into a nice routine and it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work knowing Erica will be stopping in.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Strafford
We had a great experience with our dog walker, Morgan. She was consistently on time, which we really appreciated, and always communicated clearly and promptly, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind. Most importantly, Morgan took excellent care of our dog and treated them with genuine attention and kindness. She truly went above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.
Ashley walks our puppy a few times a week and is consistent, reliable and communicative. We welcomed a rescue puppy into our home unexpectedly and were fortunate Ashley was able to help us right away. On a personal level, Ashley is a sweet and caring person and gained our immediate trust.
I never had the opportunity to meet Allison because she doesn't do first time meetings with the dog or owner, but the person who was staying at our house said she was lovely, and our dog seemed happy. She sent notes and pictures, which was nice. I only wish I had been able to meet her.

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 Strafford. 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 Strafford.

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 Strafford. On Rover:
- 90% 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 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.
