Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a long adventure walk, I can be flexible to fit your schedule. I have weekend availability during the summer. Mornings, afternoons, and early evenings are all open! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable. I always follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, crate routines, and any behavioral needs. I ensure doors and gates are secure before and after every walk, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe areas. I take time to build trust with each pet by moving at their pace, offering positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to their cues. Whether your dog is high-energy or more reserved, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

We (I and my dog) love Lauren. She’s the most professional dog walker I’ve ever had. From the first meet and greet, I knew that I and my dog were in good hands. She lays out expectations very clearly. She is very responsive. And last but not least my dog loves her!

About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I'm passionate about keeping them happy and active with fun walks. I also have experience managing multiple dogs on walks. I’m currently in summer break so I have more free time than usual and I always wake up early to take my own dogs out. I always take my dogs out 3 times a day morning, evening and night. As well as giving them ample food and water in the mornings and evenings. And of course we can talk more about how I can better take care of your pup.

About: Grew up dog sitting many different breeds and ages. Had a beagle myself growing up. While in the military and overseas I got my German shepherd. I fostered a pitt, Frenchie, and a mastiff overseas as well. Very comfortable providing care needed and medication. I am in school full time online, this provides me with a lot of free time that will allow me to provide extra care for your animals. I live in a great area where I can walk and care for different animals. Your animals will feel very safe with me caring for them.

Thanks Alyssa. Ever since my Wife, his Mommy, passed away in April, his eating and pooping has been off sometimes. We both miss her. When it's hot he will plop down in front of the fan because I turn it on low for him...lol Thanks for taking care of my boy.

About: I have decades of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a reactive/senior dog that I have had since he was a puppy. He also suffered from severe separation anxiety, that I had to help him with when we first got him. I rescued him from the Humane Society. I have had training with him, to help give him his best life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten to senior age and every age in between. I do have basic pet training skills, including leash training, as well. I also can administer oral medication when needed for dogs. I have experience with dogs with special needs, such as, blindness and special dietary needs. I have experience with active/herding dogs as well. My senior dog Willow, was a boarder/lab. She recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was over 13. She was a very active girl. I also have 2 grand dogs. A 4 year old male Great Dane/hound and a 1 1/2 year old male Australian shepherd. I take care of them from time to time when my family needs me too. I also have several clients that I regularly take care of their pets while they’re either at work or away on vacation. I offer several types of services for your pets. I can do drop ins/potty breaks, walks/playtime or overnight stays when you’re away or on vacation. I also provide photos/videos, so that you can see how much fun your fur baby is having while you’re away! I do have experience with multiple dogs/cats households. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and helping to provide caregiving services for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with notice ahead of time. On occasion, I can do non-scheduled pet care times as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions for your pets needs. We can discuss how much time your pet can be left alone, as well as, if they need to be crated while left alone. If I am taking care of your pet while you’re away for overnight stays, I will generally check on your pet every 4 to 5 hours unless noted otherwise.

About: I have been caring for pets since I was young, with over 20 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing a little extra patience or special care. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. This schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need without feeling rushed, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or simply keeping them company. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have a clean and pet-friendly space and treat every animal as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. Whether in my home or yours, I’m dependable, gentle, and detail-oriented. I’m also experienced with deep cleaning, litter box maintenance, and ensuring a stress-free environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away.

About: I have two dogs myself, a German shepherd and Manchester terrier. I have always been around and have had dogs my entire life, big and small. I know how to discipline dogs in a way that won’t hurt them, but in a way they learn and improve their behavior. I even have experience with puppies and senior care. I have never met a dog that doesn’t love me! All I have that takes up my schedule right now is school. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am free all day. Mondays and Friday’s I’m only busy from 11-3 Wednesdays I am busy all day Saturdays and Sundays I am free all day I always prioritize the dogs safety, second is their joy. My German shepherd could play ball for hours and I always grant his wish. I love walks just as much as dogs, I always appreciate doing 5 miles with a buddy! Every dog gets tons of love and affection from me. Let’s just say at a party, you’ll find me with the animals.

Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Swimley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,383 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Swimley. 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 Swimley. 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 Swimley.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Swimley. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
