“Ingrid was great! We scheduled a walk last minute for our two doggos and she was quick to respond, friendly, respectful and Hank & Shasta seemed thoroughly worn out when we got back.”
“Kacey was the perfect answer to giving our dogs a midday break while our friends were taking care of them. Kacey was the ‘dog whisperer’ and even got our boys to ‘pose’ for some beautiful photos! We are very thankful for Kacey and her loving care of our boys during their walks together. Thank you, Kacey!”
“Daniel has been so great to our Oaklee and to us. He is great at communicating and is very flexible with our crazy schedules. We appreciate him a ton and Oaklee loves him!”
“Silvia was absolutely wonderful! I am an anxious person about our dogs' care. We also have a senior dog with her own quirks. Silvia was kind and patient in getting to know our dogs and communicated with me every day about the visits. I highly recommend her and look forward to requesting her support for our dogs in the future! Thank you so much, Silvia!!”
About: Hi there! Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant, years of hands-on pet care experience and working as a K9 handler. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that keeps them comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I have experience with high energy, senior, special needs and more. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. I provide dependable communication, plenty of photo updates, and attentive care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like they're my own and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I’m so excited to share that I now have FULL TIME availability for pet care! My calendar will be up to date so reach out for any help you may need! I can do daily or weekly walks and drop ins every day with no time restraints (unless I am booked). I currently do not have room to have your pet stay in my home, however I am more than happy to come to you whether that is for a walk/playtime and mealtime or for an overnight stay! I am more than happy to bring anything with me extra you might need or not have.
“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”
About: Hello! My name is Abbie, I’ve lived with a dog since I was 6 years old and have many years of care for dogs, cats, bunnies and farm animals! Many friends and family have trusted me with their precious animals for house sitting, walks, feeding and care. My desire is to serve you and your pets in a safe, comfortable and fun environment. I am currently working part-time and I’m very flexible in my schedule. Most weeks I’m able to be present for partial days and nights. I have a chill Golden Retriever at home with my family who love’s company and making new friends if your pet is up for it! If not, I love having time to get to know a pet in their own home. Your pets comfort is my top priority so making sure my attitude is calm and relaxed for your cutie is very important to me! Additionally, I am a pretty active person so play time is always on the schedule. So whether your pet is young and energetic or quiet and mature, I’m always ready to fit the needs of your pets!
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, basic grooming like brushing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as they would at home. I also make sure owners feel at ease by providing updates and photos so they know their dog is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than rushing visits. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every dog in my care is supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs their dog may have. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure dogs are comfortable and not stressed. I also keep a clean and organized environment, remove any potential hazards, and make sure dogs are always handled with patience and care. When outside, I prioritize leash safety and awareness of surroundings to ensure safe walks. Building trust with both dogs and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and dependable experience for every dog I care for. 🐶
About: I’ve been raised with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even turtles! I’ve trained my own dog and also helped take care of a mama cat and her kittens. I would love to hang with your furry friends, please send me a message! Currently not working at the moment, and looking for a side gig to spend my free time. I can be available at almost any time! I can stay at your place or stop by daily (depending on how far you are), and we can meet beforehand! I can send photo updates while you’re away, that way you know you’re furry family member is okay :)
“Shyanne, agreed to walk Aithusa the night before after another walker canceled due to illness. She sent pictures and route of thier walk and communicated when needing to adjust the time of one of his walks. Aithusa was happy when I returned home from work. I think thier walks helped him not miss his mom, who's away.”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am familiar with many other kinds of animals. I have sat for non-family/friends and well as them included many times before! I have managed taking care of 5+ pets at once, given proper meds, care, playtime, etc. This experience ranges from kittens/puppies just a few days old, to older aged animals. I work “full time” but I work around 30 hours and I have a lot of split shifts so time before or after to check-in with the pets. This looks like morning feed, going outside, if any meds or vitamins need to be taken or same with after depending on the time of day needed. Depending on circumstances of boundaries and rules of each pet, I easily find a solution and adapt if needed. I will watch your dog/cat outside or on a leash front or back of yard. If there are off-limit areas inside our outside those will be closed doors or if there’s a gate it will be put up per clients request. If there needs to be check-ins with owner that be applicable, I am attentive to my phone, when and if necessary.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,254 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Upper Mill. 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 Upper Mill. 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 Upper Mill.

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 Mill. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
