About: I've been around cats and critters my whole life. Right now I have my sweet Torti Twix and Noche, my mama's boy. I recently lost my soul kitty, Bronson, and would love to be surrounded by more kitties again. I used to have a leopard gecko named Pedro, so bring on your scaled friends as well. Rats, buns, whatever you have! I accept ALL dog breeds! Find me on Facebook at Lor's Pet Sitting! I also volunteer at a no-kill shelter called Focus on Ferals. I have experience humanely administering pills/oral medication. *Trained in feline first aid* A drop-in includes: feeding, potty time/litterbox cleaning, playtime, love & cuddles, enrichment activities, medication administration (if needed), light housework (sweeping, trash, counters, etc), and daily updates with photos/videos. Rover is my full-time gig, which means I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm available mainly for overnight cat boarding and cat/dog drop-ins. I'd also love to walk your dog, whether they're big or small (I love them all)! Please inquire about services provided. I accept ALL dog breeds! My specialty is working with shy or skittish kitties. I'm patient enough to get on their level, approach slowly, earn their trust, and let them know I'm a safe person. It's incredibly rewarding work. I'm also a sucker for the elderly pets.

About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.

About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

About: I have cared for a dog for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I gave my own. As a social worker, caring for others is a big part of who I am, and that naturally extends to animals too. I am dependable, gentle, and attentive, and I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8-3:30. I also have 2 daughters, which is a full time job on its' own! With that being said, my availability would typically be M,F,S,Su 11am-3pm and after 8pm most days. I will care for pets in their own home, where they are already comfortable with their normal routine and environment. I will follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty needs, walks, playtime, and any other specific care requests. I will also make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before I leave, and the home is treated with respect. I am happy to provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and doing well while they are away.

About: Are you looking for someone to take your dog on walks while you’re away? I’m your girl! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have a lot of free time and would love to help take care of your dog. I’m currently working part time and a stay at home mom, so I’m able to pickup shifts easily to help take care of your pets! Please let me know if you’re looking for someone dependable and available! In the clients home, I care for pets the same way I’d care for them if they were my own- with love and attention. The owners knows best as well, so I love a detailed list of instructions when caring for a pet the first time.

About: I have been around animals for most of my life and have over 50 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve owned about nine dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd and two sugar gliders, so I’m comfortable with both active dogs and animals that need more specialized care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and attentive caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I'm a retired firefighter who went into nursing after that career but retired from that now, too. I really enjoy the company of dogs and they seem to enjoy me, too. My wife is in and out of the house because she still works full time, so you may or may not meet her. However I am the one who's retired and gets to be home with any fur babies 24/7 so you will be working with me directly. I have a fenced in backyard, a friendly Aussie who likes to play and numerous sized cages if your dog prefers that for sleeping or escape. I take a walk everyday (usually to the park two blocks away) and I would be happy to include your dog on my daily walk. If I come to your house , I'd be happy to walk your dog around your neighborhood , play ball or frisbee in the backyard or work on commands .. I have done all of these in the past.

“Kelsey has been a huge help for our family. We got a new pup this summer and as a teacher I was nervous about leaving her at home all day for the first time. Our high energy vizsla girl very much enjoys her 30 minute walk each day with Kelsey. I would recommend her services to my friends and neighbors.”

About: I have Two dogs of my own (shared custody) and have had dogs my entire life. As of the past few years I have house and pet sat for my friends, coworkers and family and have really enjoyed it! I work 10 minutes from my home, so going back and forth isn’t an issue so I’m able to do frequent potty breaks and walks throughout the day. There are plenty of walking areas around me that are safe and accessible as well as a park right down the street. My apartment is very large and very pet friendly!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and cats, and I genuinely believe they are incredibly intelligent, emotional, and individual creatures with their own personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for many of my coworkers’, neighbors, friends, and my families pets, including dogs and cats that were described as shy, nervous, or not particularly friendly with new people. I’ve always been surprised by how quickly they tend to warm up to me. I’m patient with animals and pay close attention to their body language, giving them space when they need it while finding ways to build trust and keep them engaged. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially excited to take dogs on walks, hikes, adventures around the neighborhood, or to a park to play fetch and burn some energy. At the same time, I’m just as happy spending quiet time with a cat or a more relaxed pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, independent, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is always the same to make them feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I don’t just want to be their sitter I want to be someone they’re excited to see again. My current weekly routine is flexible and allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for pets. I work as a youth hockey coach, with practices or coaching responsibilities lasting approximately two and a half to three hours in the evening. I also work as a bar back three days a week. On those days, I typically do not need to be at work until 2:30 p.m., although my shifts usually end around midnight. Because of this schedule, I have availability during mornings, early afternoons, and on days when I am not working at the bar. I am able to plan pet care around my work commitments and make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, and companionship. I understand that watching pets can affect my weekly routine, so I am careful to communicate clearly, organize my schedule in advance, and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. I primarily provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets are already familiar with their surroundings and can maintain their normal routines. I believe this is the safest and most comfortable environment for most dogs and cats, especially when they are away from their owners. My home is relatively small, is not located in the most suitable area for walking pets, and does not have a fenced-in backyard, so I do not feel it would provide the best environment for boarding animals. Caring for pets in their own home allows me to give them individualized attention while keeping them in a familiar, secure setting. I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other household pets, depending on their specific needs and care instructions.

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life as well as fostering both for six years. I have experience with puppies, kittens, seniors, reactive dogs, and medication administration! I’m just looking for something fun to do between classes during the week and on my off days! It also allows me some much needed time with dogs as I unfortunately don’t have any since moving from Northern Michigan! I would treat them as if they were my own pet follow the owners instructions and be respectful of their home. I’m comfortable administering medications and working with reactive animals.

About: I bring useful energy and enthusiasm that resonates with small medium dogs. I have hands on experience with basic puppy training, which makes our time together both fun and educational. I also provide compassionate care for senior dogs, and ensuring they receive the gentle attention they need. My active lifestyle allows me to engage your pets through play and exercise, keeping them happy and healthy. Each dog’s unique personalities important to me, and I ensure they feel loved and secure while you’re away! As a college student classes, three days a week and Tuesdays and Thursdays off, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. On my class days, I make sure to schedule walks and playtime around my classes, ensuring the dogs get the exercise and attention they need. On my days off, I dedicate extra time and longer play dates, allowing me to engage with them fully. This schedule allows me to balance my studies with reliable care for pets. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily life, as it brings me joy in fulfillment while helping me stay active and connected with the dogs When pets stay with me, I create a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have a designated sleeping area, access to toys, and plenty of space to play. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, making sure they feel secure and loved. I also monitor their health and behavior closely, keeping an eye out for any changes or concerns. When caring for pets in clients home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to minimize stress. I follow their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I ensure their living space is clean and safe, following any house rules to make the pets feel at ease while their owners are away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Abby was absolutely wonderful with Aspen. From the moment we connected, I felt comfortable and confident leaving Aspen in her care. She was attentive, kind, and truly treated Aspen like her own. I could tell Aspen was relaxed and happy, which says everything. Communication was great, and I appreciated the updates and care she provided. I would 100% trust Abby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving with their pup.

Ava is the BEST! She stepped in last minute for Poppy on Christmas Eve AND Christmas. She updated us with photos, a cute video, and even asked some important questions I completely missed when we initially talked. I could not be more grateful for her care of our dog and we are already looking forward to the next opportunity to have her care for Poppy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Walker is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,555 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Walker. 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 Walker. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Walker 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 , 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 .

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

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
