About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve cared for friends and families dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a female American bully but in the past I’ve had English mastiffs, pit bulls, and a border collie.

I am currently a student athlete at EKU so I’m normally at the school early in the mornings with breaks throughout the day then finished around 2pm. I currently live in an apartment. I also have one friendly and very active pup to keep yours company. I will always be outside with the pups they are never out there alone.
“Sloane is an absolute gem. She is conscientious, dedicated, and thorough. She takes care of our basket-case of a rescue dog several times per week and has been our savior from the ridiculousness of his unending energy and anxiety while we’re away. Her report cards are filled with humor and have us laughing out loud every time. Cannot recommend her enough!”

Another great experience with Tiffany! She continues to be reliable, thoughtful, and flexible with my changing work schedule. Knowing Sable is in such caring and capable hands while I'm working long shifts gives me tremendous peace of mind. Tiffany's consistency, communication, and genuine affection for Sable really stand out. It's wonderful to have someone I can trust and count on time after time. Thank you, Tiffany, for all you do for Sable! Highly recommended!
Tiffany has been absolutely wonderful with Sable. She is dependable, caring, and always works with me around my changing work schedule, including days when Sable needs both a morning and afternoon walk. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing Sable is being well cared for while I’m at work. Tiffany has been consistently reliable, communicates well, and genuinely cares about Sable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their dog.
Tiffany has been wonderful with Sable and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She was always kind, attentive, and thoughtful during her visits, and Sable enjoyed her time with her. Tiffany communicated openly and honestly when her availability changed, which I truly appreciated, and she even offered to continue helping while we transition to another walker. I’m grateful for the care she provided and wish her all the best moving forward.

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 Waco. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
