About: Animals seem to gravitate to me, I have never had an issue befriending a stray dog, cat, or even llama. I’m always that one guy in the room petting the dog. I have a natural knack for animal care as well and spend a lot of time just being friends with my pets. I am currently looking for a part time, flexible job that allows me to be with my family more. Therefore I am currently not working as I look and I am fully available. I have a couple of schedule items that I work around but overall I have a very open schedule that pet care will work wonderfully with. In my home we have more of a relaxed environment. Dogs are allowed to run around the home freely for most hours of the day. Cats are allowed to roam the catio outside freely. No cats are indoors and dogs are let outside twice daily to run and play and a third time just to use the restroom. Dogs and cats are fed twice daily and water is freely available. In a clients home I follow any guidelines they have.

About: I’m an experienced dog trainer with a natural connection to animals and a deep understanding of canine behavior. My family and I give your four‑legged loved ones structure, affection, and constant attention, creating a calm, safe home environment when they need it, and a fun, playful atmosphere when laughter and energy are what help them thrive ⛵️ I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for animals, playing in nature, and welcoming every furry friend who crossed my path. I’ve never purchased a pet as they always seem to find me first 😊 My daughters are the best affection‑giving, playful, and gentle training team! Together, we make sure every pup receives the love, patience, and individualized care they need; whether they’re puppies learning routines, seniors needing comfort, shy pups gaining confidence, or dogs who simply need extra reassurance and calm guidance. We’re comfortable with routines, medications, crate training, potty schedules, and helping pups settle in smoothly during transitions. Our home is gentle, structured, and full of love, perfect for dogs who thrive with consistency, warmth, and a nurturing touch. We welcome all pups sizes and colors ❕️ Pet care is part of our daily rhythm❣️ We naturally build feeding, playtime, walks, and check‑ins into our family routine, and we also include pups in simple daily activities with the kids, always respecting each pet parent’s instructions and comfort level. We keep a calm, structured environment, so whether it’s morning potty breaks, afternoon play, or evening wind‑down time, your pup is included in our schedule with consistent attention and care🤗 Your furry loved ones becomes part of our flow ! I keep a calm, structured environment where your furry loved ones are supervised, safe, and treated like family. I make sure each one feels included and supported, whether they need extra reassurance, confidence‑building, or simply a cozy place to relax. I’m attentive to their emotional needs as much as their physical ones, and I always follow each pet parent’s instructions with care🫶 When caring for furry loved ones in a pet parent’s home, I respect their routines exactly as written and follow instructions closely. I maintain a clean, organized space, keep feeding and medication schedules precise, and follow all household rules. I supervise pups closely, make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment, and send consistent updates so pet parents always know their furry loved ones are safe, comfortable, and happy🌞 I also pay attention to small details, from their favorite resting spot to their unique quirks, so they feel fully supported while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets all my life big dogs, little dogs, and even cats so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and I also have experience safely medicating pets who need a little extra care. While you’re away, your pets will be in loving hands and will have a great time, whether that means snuggling, playing, or exploring. I’d be happy to exercise your dog with walks, runs, and plenty of fetch to keep them happy and healthy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every moment you’re gone. I work 12 hour shifts on the Sunday-Tuesday and unfortunately am unable to leave work to check on animals.. but I do have flexible availability the rest of the week to check on animals so if your pet is okay for 12 hour days I would love to watch them on my work days as well but if not I would love to watch them on my off days too!☺️ Just because I work late shifts doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be thrilled to give your pet all the love and attention they need when I am off! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure your home stays clean and secure during my stay. Your pet will get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and at ease while you’re away. For dog walking, I make safety and enjoyment my top priorities. I walk at your dog’s pace, whether they prefer a relaxed stroll or a more energetic outing. I’m happy to include exercise like running or playing fetch if your dog enjoys it. After each walk, I ensure they have fresh water, are settled comfortably, and I provide updates so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for right in the comfort of their own home.

About: Spending your time away from your pet can be stressful for you as well as your pet. Allow me to put your mind at ease with a fun, loving environment that includes a huge backyard for your pet to run freely as well as a tidy, clean house to host your fur baby in a comfortable and relax setting. I am a compassionate and responsible pet sitter with hands-on experience in handling a variety of pet care services including walking, overnight pet care, and medication administration. I am competent and committed. I ensure that pets are given their food and water according to specified schedules. Ability to dispense and administer medication to assigned pets, along with a great ability to keep a constant check on their health. Ascertain that pets are fed on time, and ensure that their water bowls are constantly filled. And last but not least, I create and implement exercise programs to ensure that pets get sufficient physical activity during the day. Please note: I do not accept male dogs that "mark" their territory indoors due to sanitary concerns. Thank you for trusting me with your fur baby. I’m currently working from home part-time so I have plenty of time to play and do fun activities with your fur baby to keep them busy while staying with me. It is important to me to follow a pet's routine including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and special requirements as laid out by the owner at any time. In doing so will make the transition as seamless as possible.

About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

About: I’ve always loved and cared for animals since I was a small child. I have always talked about being a Vet Tech since a very young age, I’ve volunteered at a Veterinary Clinic where I was able to assist in surgery, take the animals for walks, feed and clean after them, and also assist with shots and all of their needs. I also have recommendation letters from the Veterinarian and employees from the Veterinary Clinic. I will send you updates throughout the day to keep you posted on how your pet is doing. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pet and put you at ease while you are away. I look forward to being someone that your pet loves as much as they love you. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility, there’s always attention and affection given to your pet throughout the day. There’s also plenty of time to take your pet out for walks and potty breaks as needed. I live in a great community with sidewalks to walk your dogs and there’s also a dog park. I’m about allowing your pet to freely roam my home’s designated areas if they are house trained. I will crate upon request or when necessary. Making sure your pet is comfortable, feels at home, and also is happy and safe is my number one priority.

About: I have four dogs at home and so I know that each dog is different and has their own preferences. I am ready to let each dog have their needs met and to accomplish my goal as a pet care taker to make them happy but keep them safe. I am not afraid of any challenge and have previous experience with rescues. I will make each dog's experience great and very enjoyable so that they feel comfortable and happy. I have experience with different ages, breeds, and energy levels of dogs. I also have experience of taking care of more than one dog at a time and I know the energy and commit that dogs take from daily personal experience. At the end of the day I am ready to show your dog all the care and dedication I have. I'm ready to help when I am needed and ready to be able to balance my personal life to take better care of your fur baby. I like to think that animals are very much like people and so to give each pet a chance to get accustomed to me and get to know me. With each pet I show patience and great understanding.

About: My name is Hailee and I absolutely love animals! I would love the opportunity to take care of your furry loved ones. I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and species, from caged pets, to pastured pets, to house pets. Growing up, I lived in a very large semi farm, with a large array of animals. From horses and cows, cats and dogs, rats and Guinea pigs, to snakes and lizards. I’ve cared for almost every type of domesticated animal there is! I love working with and caring for animals, and I believe I could provide just what your pet needs while you’re away. I have experience dealing with pets who have needed meds and have had special needs such as seizures, incontinence, feeding issues, etc. Guest pets in my home are always welcome on the furniture and to sleep in my bed or wherever they choose, as your pets happiness is my number one priority! I am typically on a fully clear schedule right now. I am doing classes online through a community college, so I am able to dictate most of my time! I have a half fenced yard at my own residence and I am able to separate families pets as needed. There are no current free roaming animals in my home so your pet would be the only one! Caring for pets in others homes is a pleasure as well! Keeping your pets safe and sound, and as comfortable as possible is always the goal I strive to achieve. I currently am a work-from-home employee and have freedom to choose my schedule! I have full flexibility and am able to accommodate almost all owner and pet needs! I love walking dogs in their familiar neighborhoods/dog parks! My goal is to keep your pet as stress free and happy as I am able while you are away, to provide the best experience for you both! I have been through many different levels of temperaments with many different types of animals and aim to make you as the owner and your pet as happy as possible!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Tavener

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,797 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tavener. 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 Tavener. 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 Tavener 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 Tavener. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 .

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.
