About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always felt completely natural to me. When I was younger, I fostered puppies, and as I got older I even went through therapy dog training, where I learned unique skills in reading dog behavior, building trust, and keeping pups calm in new situations. Now I dog‑sit and love your puppies when you can’t be there. I’ve watched dogs for many of my neighbors, and they’ve been so happy with the care I give that they often recommend me to their friends and family. I’d love to meet your furry best friend next! I’m currently taking time off from working to focus on college, which allows me to treat caring for your pet as my full‑time priority. Their schedule, their needs, and their comfort come first, and I’m fully dedicated to being there for them every step of the way. In order to provide the highest level of care, I like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn their pet’s routines, preferences, and any special needs. Once I understand their daily rhythm, I follow those routines closely to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety. My goal is always to protect and care for your pets to the best of my ability.

About: With over a decade of pet care under my belt, I have experience in doggy daycare, pet boarding, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’ve personally owned dogs, cats and reptiles my whole life. Starting as a young teen, I cared for neighbors dogs and cats for up to three months at a time when they were away. In highschool, I worked at a doggy daycare and pet boarding center, gaining experience caring for a large number of animals with a variety of temperaments and needs. I administered medications such as pills and eye ointment, and cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition to dogs, I cared for cats, birds and small mammals.

My job is flexible with what time I arrive and leave. Taking care of your home while you’re away is equally as important to me as caring for your pets. I will insure that your home is always in the same condition as you left, whether that means cleaning up bathroom accidents or keeping a tidy litter box. Additionally, with any client where I’m entering their home, I will always check for signs of suspicious activity such as broken windows or open doors. Keeping your fur baby safe means making sure your home is safe.

“We were in town for a wedding and needed someone we could trust to take care of our dog, Dougie, while we were away. Alexia was absolutely amazing! She came to our hotel the evening before to meet us, get to know Dougie, and learn about his routine and needs. That immediately gave us peace of mind. The next day, while we were at the wedding, she visited him twice at the hotel. She took him for walks, played with him, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. Throughout the day, Alexia sent us thoughtful updates and adorable pictures, which meant so much to us. Knowing Dougie was being so well cared for allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding without worrying. We are incredibly grateful for Alexia’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, we can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Alexia! You are the best!”

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 Vermillion. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
