About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! Currently we have a farm that includes: 11 dogs, 4 ferrets, 6 pigs, tons of chickens, ducks, and maybe around 20 or so cats! I’m a huge animal lover and am good with dogs anywhere from the puppy stage, to the “old-man” stage! I am reliable when it comes to walking, feeding, bathing, and of course belly rubs! I currently stay at home so I have plenty of time to fit all of your pet care needs into my daily routine! I am looking for a job but will arrange as need be! My current pets have a fenced in yard. If I am watching your beloved fur babies, I can supervise in a fence in yard, or take them out on a leash if need be! Any rules that you set will be 100% followed, even those bed times for the fur kids!

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and I took a job as a kennel attendant at a rescue, but unfortunately they closed their brick and mortar location to go back to a foster based rescue. I have gained experience working with many types of dogs. From large and small breeds, to selective dogs, to puppies, and my personal favorite, special needs and senior babies. I currently lost my job at a dog rescue due to the building closing down to focus on a foster based rescue, so my availability at this moment is open I can provide love, exercise and enrichment as well as discipline, crating, and spoiling your dog. Unfortunately I cannot have dogs in my home so I would need to come to you.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love animals of every kind. I love playing and snuggling with animals and have always loved to care for friends’ pets. At parties, you can usually find me talking to the dogs or cats! After May 31, I will be free all day and will be able to provide continuous care if needed. My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 439 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Thayer. 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 Thayer. 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 Thayer 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 Thayer. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 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.
