“Lindsey met my wife in a timely manner at condo entrance. Per my wife, she was friendly and Memphis came back wagging his tail. Appreciate Lyndsey time and it was our first experience using Rover!”

About: I bring 13 years of pet care/pet sitting experience and the goal of making your pet’s day feel similar, even while you’re away. I enjoy taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and the little things you know about them best. My approach is patient, attentive, and guided by your instructions. I know there’s a lot of trust involved in handing someone else your leash and I take pride in you feeling comfortable leaving them with me and getting the little things right. I work part-time as a nurse and am in graduate school, so my availability changes from week to week. No particular day or time is off-limits—it just depends on my work and class schedule. Share the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I can accommodate! Before caring for your pet, I’ll ask about their habits, house rules, and anything that might need extra attention. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and give your pet time to get comfortable with me. You can expect updates along the way, and if something seems out of the ordinary, I’ll reach out to you immediately rather than guess.

About: I have taken care of dogs as large as an Italian Mastiff and as small as mini schnauzers. I am comfortable and confident with handling dogs of all temperaments. I currently go to college full time. I only have classes in the mornings, so my days are pretty open to spend time with dogs or take them on walks. I currently have 4 mini schnauzers at home and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I would bring that same care for your beloved pet.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 8 years old with my first dog being a border collie mix, who I trained in 4H for 5 or 6 years. After I moved out, I got my own dog, a lab/GSD mix, and she is now 7.5 years old. There are 5 dogs in my family, ranging from 9months to 10 years old. I’ve been a professional dog trainer for 5 years now, and can give meds as needed. I work full time at a pet store, but if needed I can do potty breaks on my lunch break (depending on how far your house is away from my work). I can do pretty much any wake up time/morning routines so your dog isn’t too stressed. I work til 8 or 9:30 T/W/Th so they might have later nights than normal, but the rest of the days are more flexible. I will stay with your dogs, and follow your instructions. If they’re better in the crate at night, I’ll crate them, if they’d rather sleep out free, they can do that. I try not to change their schedule/routines too much whenever possible.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs of mine that I’ve trained . I know how hard it is to leave pets behind so helping people take care of them while they are gone is a passion. I currently work part time in the mornings and have a very flexible schedule. I would be happy to help your family out when needed. I have 1 frenchie and 3 cats. Our yard is fenced in. If no fence, I ALWAYS use a leash! Safety is my top priority!

About: Full time college student which allows for flexibility. I have dogs of my own but trusted with family and friends to care for their pets as well. I have classes Monday-Friday with a super flexible schedule especially mid-day. I work part time and I’m easy to schedule with for your specific needs. My favorite part of my day is taking my dogs outside for a walk, and I would love to take care of your dog(s) with the same love and care. I am able to crate your dog if you prefer, walk them safely, potty breaks during the day if needed, any TLC your dogs may need.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Viola

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 278 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Viola. 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 Viola. 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 Viola 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 Viola. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
