About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a love for animals and a soft spot for every furry friend I meet! From volunteering and rescuing animals to working in veterinary hospitals and caring for my own fur babies, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Veterinary Assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I’m comfortable with medications, special needs, senior pets, and providing the extra patience and care some pets need. When you’re away, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, playtime, cuddles, and regular updates so you can relax while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your fur babies like they’re my own! I just moved to the area and will be starting a new job, my schedule varies but I can try to be as flexible as I can on my days off or before and after work. I completely understand the importance of a routine for our babies to stay happy and healthy. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I love providing in-home care. Staying in their familiar surroundings allows me to keep their normal routines as consistent as possible while you’re away. Depending on your pet’s needs, in-home care can include feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medications, litter box care, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you leave so your pets can stick to the routine they’re used to. While you’re away, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!

About: I have always loved animals. They brighten up my day! When I was a little girl, I started to do a lot of pet sitting over the summer for animals such as dogs, cats, and rabbits, and also started walking dogs in my neighborhood for people when they were out for a long time or not able to make it back for the night. I have done volunteer work with dogs and cats, and I worked one summer at a horse stable, which was really fun! I work at Kroger now, but I miss working with animals. I’ve decided to give Rover a shot so I can meet a lot more pups and kittens this summer! Animals bring a joy to my heart and I’m excited to start my journey as a Rover pet sitter! ???

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 Talking Rock. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Talking Rock 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 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 Talking Rock. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
