“Abby was a long term dog walker for us while I recovered from a broken leg. She was always so kind and friendly. My dogs absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her! We would absolutely recommend Abby!!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ dogs and my own dog for the past several years. My experience has included walking, bathing, and overnight house sitting care. I have also taken care of cats overnight. I am a student at Elizabethtown College, studying occupational therapy. I am looking for pet sitting/walking/drop-in gigs throughout the school year! I prefer not to do overnight care for longer than two nights at a time. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, as I have experience with many different sizes and breeds. I always provide updates to my clients as needed and attentive care to the pets I look after.
“Matt does an excellent job on walking my pup during the week. He has great communications letting me know when he is on his way and how things go on the walk with plenty of pictures.”
“Mya is fantastic! Was very flexible with our last minute needs. Great with my two rambunctious dogs and always timely. Definitely going to book again and would recommend to anyone reading!”
About: I use force-free, reward-based methods and have experience working with dogs exhibiting leash reactivity, fear, frustration, and environmental sensitivities. My approach emphasizes understanding canine body language, maintaining appropriate distances, and creating safe, enjoyable walking experiences tailored to each dog's individual needs. I have a background in professional dog training and am currently pursuing the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants' Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) credential. While I have not yet earned this certification, I remain committed to continuing education and evidence-based canine behavior practices. I offer both standard dog walking and specialized, behavior-informed walks for dogs with additional handling needs. Please message me to discuss your dog's needs so we can determine the most appropriate walking service and agree on pricing before booking if you're dog requires special consideration. Standard 30-minute walk - $28 Behavior-informed 30-minute walk - $40 Standard 60-minute walk - $45 Behavior-informed 60-minute walk - $60 I have a flexible, semi-retired schedule that allows me to dedicate time to something I'm passionate about which is working with dogs! I maintain an active lifestyle with my own dogs, incorporating daily walks, enrichment, and ongoing behavioral training into our routine. Because I'm not juggling a traditional 9-to-5 job, I can offer flexible scheduling and give each dog the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to maintain a manageable number of clients so every walk receives my full attention and care. Safety and trust are central to how I work with dogs. As a dog owner and experienced trainer, I've personally worked through challenges involving leash reactivity, fear, frustration, and complex interactions between dogs in my own multi-dog household. These experiences have reinforced the importance of understanding canine body language, respecting individual boundaries, and proactively managing environments to prevent unnecessary stress or conflict. I use force-free, reward-based methods, prioritizing each dog's comfort, safety, and ability to make appropriate choices. I never force interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people, and I adapt walks to each dog's individual needs and sensitivities. While I don't currently offer boarding or in-home daycare, I treat every client's dog and home with the same care and respect I expect for my own.
About: I previously worked at a dog lodging facility, Playful Pups Retreat, as a Lodging Attendant. I stopped due to graduating college and accepting a full time job. I also have personally watched multiple dogs in many peoples homes. My one German Shepherd has epilepsy, so I have experiencing caring for animals with disabilities and giving medicine as needed. I am mostly available anytime Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday through Wednesday I work out of town during the day. I can stop in early morning (before 6:30am) and later in the evening (anytime past 6). I have taken a dog first aid class in my previous job. I have handled dogs big and small and have dealt with all types of behavior.
About: **For house-sitting requests, please read my availability disclaimer before requesting a booking!** Having grown up on a pig farm, I've always been close to animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends, making house visits to care for them or hosting them in my own home. I attend to every detail provided as every pet is unique and their comfort is most important, especially when their favorite people are away. I am detail-oriented, responsive, and dedicated to your pet's happiness and safety. Due to my own responsibilities and schedule, I am not able to stay at your house full-time during a sit. This means I can stay throughout the day, 8am to 8pm with 1 break of up to 3 hours OR overnight with 1-2 visits throughout the day for meals and exercise, etc. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pets all day and overnight, kindly seek another sitter who can better fit your needs. :) I work full-time as a teacher and have my own family, so I cannot provide around-the-clock care for your pet. I can drop in for walks, mealtimes, and check-ins, but I cannot stay full-time in your home while you are away. Please message me if you are curious about how we can work out an appropriate agreement for house-sitting that will meet yours and your pet's needs. Thanks! I pay close attention to my own pets at home and do whatever is needed to ensure they are the happiest and healthiest they can be. My Australian Shepherd Mix dog, Willow, who is 4 years old, requires daily oral medications, obedience training, and daily walks or runs due to her energy level. I have adjusted my own schedule and lifestyle to make sure she gets what she needs every day. I have trained with her extensively and have experience with anxious, high-energy, and reactive dogs. I know the body language to look out for given my experience with my own dog, Willow, and know what to do to help an anxious dog feel safe. I have also cared for my own cat, Fig, since we adopted him at 4 months old. He has Irritable Bowel Disease, which means we have to administer daily oral medications and feed him Hydrolized food that is easier for him to digest. I have since learned which signs to look out for relating to cat health such as changes in behavior, bowel movements, and eating habits. Overall, I am an extremely attentive, empathetic animal lover who would consider it a privilege to look after your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have over 15 years experience training dogs and caring for pets. Received my certification at Animal Behavior College as a certified dog trainer. Also, took a course in pet-sitting and certified in pet CPR. Spent many hours training with shelter dogs and caring for cats. Taking care of your pets is a true passion of mine! I currently work part- time training dogs of all different breeds and sizes as well as drop in visits. I also do dog walking depending on my clients needs. I care for pets in my clients homes tailored to what works best for them. I care for dogs and cats and other small animals.
About: Growing up on a hobby farm, I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. We always had a dog or cat or both in the house. I have done small jobs for friends and family of dog walking and overnight sitting. Currently I'm a stay at home wife with a flexible schedule available for you and your pet's needs. I am available for longer stays if needed. Keeping a safe environment for your pet by following your instructions, including any medical or specialty needs they may have, is my top priority. Your pet's comfort and happiness is my goal!
“We knew when we first met Jenna that she would be a great fit for my Border Collie! She is kind and wonderful! And great with my senior pup! Awesome communication! 10/10 recommend Jenna! Thank you!”
About: My partner and I both love hanging out and taking care of people’s pets, so we’ve decided to do it together. We both grew up with dogs and cats respectively, and overall, just love animals. We’d be more than happy to check in on your per, take them for a walk and make sure that they don’t feel alone while you have to be out. We have three cats of our own; one of them has allergies that we perform shots on her for. If your pet has such needs, we have experience in that department! I work from home two weeks of the month currently and will be expecting to be fully home by February. During those weeks, I can come anytime of day but the other two weeks, I’ll be available Thursday-Sunday. I’ll confirm that your pet is healthy and ensure that they’re comfortable with my presence / actions. I’ll also follow all instructions provided to me and share updates after each visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,818 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Upper Lawn. 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 Upper Lawn. 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 Upper Lawn 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 Upper Lawn. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
