About: Hi, I’m Desiree! I’m 29 years old, and my love for animals has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and throughout my life I’ve opened my heart and home to many pets in need. I had the privilege of fostering animals for two years, caring for pets from different backgrounds and with different personalities. While I eventually stepped away from fostering because saying goodbye became so difficult, my passion for helping animals never faded. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter. I’m also the proud dog mom of three amazing dogs of all sizes, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. When your pet is in my care, they’ll be treated like family—with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dogs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I offer weekday, evening, and weekend availability with advance notice. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priority. I carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care your pet may need. I provide a clean, secure environment, constant supervision, and plenty of affection to help your pet feel at ease. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and give them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate weekday, evening, and weekend bookings with advance notice. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and affection while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I maintain a clean, safe environment, provide constant supervision, and make sure pets feel relaxed and loved. I also have experience caring for my own dogs and understand the importance of patience and positive interactions.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages over the years—from helping pups transition off their mother’s milk to supporting senior dogs through their final vet visits. I’ve experienced many different situations with dogs, each one teaching me something new. No matter how much time I’ve spent with them, I always stay open to learning and growing alongside them. I currently work full-time with a school district, with hours until 6 PM Monday through Friday. During the school year, my weekends are fully open for pet care, and I’ll also be available on weekdays whenever we are on school breaks or vacations. I treat my cats and dog as if they were my own children, and I would extend that same love and care to your pets as well. From administering medication and accommodating picky eaters to playtime, fresh water, and all the details that go into attentive pet care—I handle it all with patience and dedication.
“This was my first time ever utilizing the app. I was so nervous and worried. She ensured me all would be fine. Sophia sent pictures along the way. She did amazing. She will definitely be my Mercedes favorite person in no time. 🩷”
About: Well I’ve been helping and taking care of animals since I was 8 and I even have lots of experience because I used to volunteer at animal shelters such as the humane society. I am completely free and just looking for a summer job. I am willing to drop everything to help you take care of your baby! I have a fenced yard but it’s huge and very grassy, I have lots of dog toys and one little dog but she’s very friendly and has been with other dogs before :)
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I worked at PetSmart as a dog bather, where I gained experience safely bathing dogs, handling different coat types, and keeping pets calm and comfortable during grooming. This helped me develop patience, gentle handling skills, and the ability to read animal behavior. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I work full time, but I’m available for weekday walks and weekend pet sitting when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️
“Alisha is great! She has excellent communication and is respectful of our home. She takes great care of Sage and Beauty and they are always smiling in their pictures. Thanks Alisha!”

About: I am young and active so I’m able to walk dogs for miles as well having the experience with unique breeds like an Alaskan malamute I wake up in the morning at 5 am to feed my dog and I take her out on a mile walk and sometimes run. I treat all dogs the same, I give them the love they need as well as play with them and give them belly rubs too.
“Carla and her partner took such great care of my pup! They walked her 3x/week for 3+ months. They even trained her and brought their pup to provide some playtime for my little girl. Always so communicative and helpful, I’m grateful I found them! Thank you for all of your help! Definitely will be reaching back out. ☺️”
About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in Service, therapy and emotional support dogs. I have 25+ years of experience and a true passion for the care and training of dogs. In order to provide the best experience for your pet we offer homestyle boarding, this means that we try to offer a boarding experience that feels like home. Does your pet sleep in your bed? If yes, they can sleep in a bed with us. Do you cook for your pets? If so, we will make sure to serve them the same meals they eat at home (you provide the food). We will offer a daily routine that is ideal for YOUR pet. Some dogs want to play, while some dogs what relax and nap on the couch.... no matter what their ideal day is we have it covered. I will gladly provide references from current and former clients as well as local rescues. I am a professional dog trainer with the appropriate set-up to do boarding right. Most of the time someone is home with the dogs, on the occasion when that is not possible all dogs are put in a private kennel in our living room. Dogs are only outside for scheduled playtimes when the weather is nice otherwise, they are inside our home. We have outdoor and indoor cameras where needed. Since dogs are in our living room or bedrooms we can always hear them and monitor them for distress. We care for your dogs just like they are our own. Safety and health are always a priority but the most important part of a good boarding experience is making sure that dogs feel as little stress as possible. My knowledge of canine body language and behavior enables me to make the necessary adjustments on a case-by-case basis because the is no single experience that works for every dog.
“Emily was absolutely incredible. She was able to accommodate Malbec and I last minute. She was very nice and professional and my favorite was the fact that she kept updating me and sending pics. My boy was very happy and was so well taken care of. She went above and beyond making sure he had all he need at home before she left. I definitely recommend her to take care of any of your fur guys. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Valeria was super flexible with my schedule. She even helped me out with some funky requests. Thor was so happy and tired after his walks! I can’t say enough for how great she was! 10/10 recommend”
“We use Lupita regularly and enjoy having her care for our puppy. I find Lupita to be reliable, responsible and trustworthy and my dog really enjoys her visits with her! It's a win-win!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up and to the date. We are a dog loving family including my two daughters and son. My girls are nurturing and love caring for their own pets and others as well. Can’t wait to meet your specialty furry member. We are active as well and like to take plenty of walks. I have a yard big enough for them to run and play and plenty of shade. I’m a stay at home mom and I homeschool my children. They are taught to earn money for whatever they want to buy. This is a great way for them to get involved by serving their own community and learning how to be responsible. I hope you consider calling us soon. I stay home and homeschool my own children. I’m home most of the day. My kids enjoy playing outside with the dogs as well. You won’t be disappointed. I have a fenced yard and a separate area for smaller dogs. We let the dogs in most of the day and supervise them outside.
About: All my life, I have been around animals. I had pets, and I took care of my family's pets. Being an only child, the animal became a family to me!! Usually when I'm boarding a pet, I like to taking to walks so the can feel comfortable and enjoy the stay. Once back from the walks, I love to play with them so we can nap together right after! Based on what the pet parents indicated to me. I will ensure they get all the attention and the company your pet deserves. Will feed them, walk them, play with them, and bathe them if necessary. My goal is to make sure they feel as loved as their parents make them feel

As of August 2026, there are 640 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Vinton. 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 Vinton. 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 Vinton.

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 Vinton. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
