About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of varying sizes beginning at age 12. Family members and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play, love on, and bathe their pets. I currently work during the day but can flexibly leave throughout the day. Once my work day is finished my afternoons and evenings are completely open to love on fur babies. I value maintaining the routine of your pets, ensuring that they feel safe and you feel comfortable knowing their sense of security will not be disrupted.

Julithza is new to us but we love her already! She came to meet Norbert before the first walk and was very communicative during the whole process. She sent great pictures from the walk. We will definitely be using her again!

Aniya did an amazing job with Max and Milo with taking them out and sending me pictures while they were out on their walk. Anyia was very informative and I truly appreciate the fact that she took the time to be informative. I will use her again to take care of my fur babies.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life, ever since I was first introduced to them at nine years old. I’ve spent the most time with American and European bloodline Great Danes — a breed I absolutely adore, though I love all dogs deeply. In 2022, I worked for a professional dog care business, where I was responsible for four European Great Danes daily — all in the same home. I walked each dog three times a day, fed them individually twice a day, and made sure they had plenty of playtime and enrichment outside of their crates. I also assisted with the birth of a litter of puppies, helping weigh them, check their temperatures, and feed them a blended diet as they grew. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re considering booking with me, feel free to text me — I’d be happy to share photos of my experience. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently on summer break from college which gives me complete flexibility to schedule any days needed I’m available Sun-Sat so feel free to reach out. In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule, offer walks three times a day, and provide regular potty breaks. If allowed, I also work on basic training using treats. I make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection throughout the day. I usually let dogs roam freely, but at bedtime they’ll sleep in my room so I can keep a close, loving eye on them through the night. 🐾

About: I have had animals since I was as young as I could remember, as well as my own personal animals since age 10 or so. I love animals and have cared for my grandparents, in laws, neighbors, and more. I usually house sit for family when they are out of town which includes caring for their zoo of animals! No kids of my own so our fur babies are exactly that! ❤️🫶🏼 I currently work for an eye Doctor so we work when he works, which makes my schedule very flexible! I live continently located in Huntsville not far from much of anything so feel free to shoot me a message! I do live in a house, and a dog whom we are still trying to socialize with other dogs, and an old girl who’s 11 and not super mobile, so I do prefer your home, walk, park, etc. I would love to help out!

About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.

About: I am an extremely caring and loving individual, who has owned two dogs, two cats, and dozens of other pets. Therefore I know how to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. Having lost my oldest dog recently, being around other animals is fun and therapeutic for me as well. I am looking for work to supplement playing gigs on the weekend. Since I spend much time writing music at home, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have an easy going schedule being a teacher and musician. I have plenty of time to meet with your pet to attend to whatever needs they might have. I have plenty of space for pets to roam around my house. I also have a fenced in back yard where I like to spend time with my dog or friends dogs when the warmer weather is here.

About: I've always had a love for animals, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can't be there. As a pet owner, I know that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Some pets love playtime and lots of attention, while others prefer a calm companion and a familiar routine. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience by helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to provide attentive care tailored to their needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the same level of care and affection that I would want for my own pets. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾💕 Skills & Qualifications: ⭐️ Can administer oral medication ⭐️ Experience caring for multiple pets ⭐️ Can provide daily exercise ⭐️ Experience with senior dogs ⭐️ Experience with puppies ⭐️ Comfortable with large dogs ⭐️ Experience with rescue dogs ⭐️ Experience with shy or nervous dogs ⭐️ Experience with high-energy dogs ⭐️ Experience with leash training/basic commands ⭐️ Experience with special feeding schedules I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, including weekends. Whether you need regular check-ins, vacation coverage, or last-minute help, I'd love to help care for your pets! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to carefully follow all care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. During each visit, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need, including fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong and will communicate with you right away if I have any concerns. I know how important peace of mind is when you're trusting someone with your furry family member, so I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing during my visits. My goal is to create a positive experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable care, clear communication, and lots of love and attention every step of the way. 🐾💕

About: I've had animals since I was ten. I have lots of friends who work high-travel jobs, so I have years of experience taking care of their pets while they are away. I love animals and I love giving their humans the peace of mind that their best friend is safe while they are away. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. I work M/W afternoons and Sunday mornings, but otherwise I'm available during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I sometimes substitute teach as well, so more notice is always better in terms of scheduling your pet's care. I cannot keep animals in my home at this time, but I am happy to maintain a clean, happy, and healthy environment for your pet in your home. I can offer regular walks, potty breaks, and playtimes to keep your best friend from getting lonely while you are away.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sylvan Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 891 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sylvan Springs. 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 Sylvan Springs. 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 Sylvan Springs.

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 Sylvan Springs. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
