About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, often stepping in for walks, feeding, and daily care when they're out of town. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and I make sure each dog's routine is followed so they stay comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. At home I have a mini schnauzer and a sheepadoodle, so I'm very familiar with both smaller, high energy personalities and larger, playful dogs. Managing both has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read different temperaments quickly. I'm comfortable adjusting to each dog's needs and making sure they get the right mix of exercise, attention, and care. I work in dental sales, which gives me a flexible schedule that I can easily work around pet care needs. I’m able to stop by for walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day and adjust my schedule as needed. This flexibility also allows me to take on regular or last-minute bookings and be reliable for pets and their owners. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress free. I handle feeding, walks, and basic care in the client’s home, and make sure pets get the attention and exercise they need based on their normal habits, personality, and daily routine.

“Olivia did an outstanding job with our labs. She came over for a pre-visit to get to know them and we knew immediately it was a perfect fit! She interacted with our VERY active boys and they were sad to see her leave. She was very professional, arrived on time, and went above and beyond of what was asked of her. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I love and care for all animals, and I promise that your pet will be in good hands. I have cared for animals of all ages from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I love and care for them as if they were my own, so trusting me to watch over your pets is a choice you won't regret! I currently work part-time M-F and am in college W-F and so I thought this would be a good side gig for me to do as a college student. I follow any feeding schedule you prefer for your pet, bathroom breaks when needed, and I will make sure to provide lots of play time where the pets are free to run off built-up energy.

About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life. After years of looking after the animals of friends and family, I am excited to expand my services and provide that same trusted, dedicated care to your furry family members! I am a small business owner at a salon and also work part-time as a gym receptionist. Since my shifts are only 2 to 3 hours long, I have a lot of flexibility! As a proud owner of three cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Whether your pet loves energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I tailor my routine to their specific needs. I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, clean environments, and providing plenty of affection so you can have total peace of mind while you're away!

About: Pets are more than just animals. They are part of our families and deserv to be spoiled and loved since they are only with us for a short time. I do transports for rescues as often as possible to help as many as possible to find loving homes. I currently have two dogs and between jobs so my availabilty is pretty open. I can't do overnight/house sit because of my two boys, but can check in and visit anytime. I'm available for walks and house visits, but can't do overnights. I can check or visit at any time though. I treat all animals as good, if not better than my own. I appreciate their various personalites and quirks. One of mine is reactive towards mainly men and other dogs, so I understand some need special attention that others may not. They are all unique individuals.

About: I’ve owned all types animals ranging from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. They have all lived long and spoiled lives. I love animals and treat them very well regardless of whether they belong to me or not. I’m a friendly and cheerful personality. I’m very patient with even the most stubborn of fur babies. I set walk or restroom schedules based on the needs of the pets and adhere to all rules given by the owners. I’m a very detailed-oriented person. I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and ex-coworkers for the last three years. I really enjoy spending time with animals and helping people out. It can be stressful trying to work or go on vacation and constantly worrying about your four-legged family members. You can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in good hands. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8 am until 4 pm. I’m available for lunchtime potty and play breaks if needed. My nights and weekends are free to give your fur family the attention and care they deserve. I do not offer boarding services as I have a kitten that prefers to be the only four legged creature inside of the house at all times. Just let me know what activities your pets enjoy and I will make sure to keep them engaged during the stay.

About: I have been taking care of animals, specifically dogs and cats, since I was around 12 years old. My parish does not have an animal shelter or any service to help with strays so I began to take them in (I was basically fostering them). As I grew up my love for them never stopped growing. I worked at an animal shelter in college. I gained experience working at a grooming/boarding facility, and I also have had a little bit of experience in a vet’s office as a tech. I currently have 5 dogs of my own ranging in sizes XXL (100lbs)-XS (8lbs). They are like my children to me! My boyfriend and I also have 7 chickens and plan to hatch more soon. We also feed all the strays cats around our house and will never hesitate to help any animal in need. My main focus will be on dog walking and check in visits, as well as overnight stays. I would be happy to provide a bath and brushing, toe nail clipping, and anything else needed! Spending my days with animals seems to best way to do it to me. I can walk dogs any day of the week! My times available for walking are 6:00am-5:00pm. I am available to go check in on them any day as well. My availability for overnight stays is the same, reach out to me any day of the week! While your pet is in my home they will be my main focus and be with me basically 24/7! If they are comfortable with car rides they can come with me on any errands I need to do. I can also come to your home and watch your fur baby! I will follow any schedule you give me for them and try to figure out the best way to cater to their needs. Whether that be laying on the couch watching TV, taking a walk around the neighborhood, playing fetch, playing with the water hose, etc! I can provide medication if needed as well and make sure to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary in their behavior.

“Paige was an incredible care-giver to our 4 dogs. They range in age from 3 months, to almost 18 years, and she treated them all wonderfully during her daily visit for nearly 2 weeks. I was able to count on her anytime, and she always reported the conditions of our dogs, and was in constant communication. Paige is a highly recommended pet sitter!!!”

About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering with dogs for years, so I’m comfortable with all kinds. I really enjoy training too, whether it’s playing ball, doing some basic obedience work, or just sitting and creating a relaxed state of mind. I’m good at reading cues and making sure the dogs feel safe while they’re with me. Options include field play time, scent games, recall work, and a slat-mill for burning energy inside during the hottest months. I am certified by Animal Behavior College and have been training at Larry Benoit's facility for about 6 months. I care for all of the dogs just like my own! I have many dogs here and allow friends to play. I can also crate and rotate if you're not sure your dog will get along with others. When we train, we focus one on one!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Walker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Walker on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 581 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Walker. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Walker stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Walker choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter 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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Walker with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walker. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.

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 sitter.
