About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of class is dedicated to providing attentive and dependable care for your pet. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I’m also currently offering doggy daycare in my home! ❣️ During a typical daycare visit, your dog can enjoy: -Several walks around the neighborhood -Nature walks -Supervised playtime and enrichment -Playdates with my dog, Journei, when appropriate -Plenty of affection, attention, time to relax and lots of treats (with owner’s permission, of course!❣️) Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Before booking daycare, I recommend a meet-and-greet to ensure our dogs are comfortable together. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. At home, I currently have a pitbull mix and a weiner dog, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. I also have experience caring for cats and other family dogs over the years. I regularly dog sat a Vizsla named Henry, which gave me experience with high-energy breeds that need lots of attention, exercise, and affection. In addition to pet care, I currently work as a nanny for a family with a French Bulldog and a Bernedoodle, so I’m around dogs every day and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is something that’s naturally built into my everyday life and routine. My dogs are a huge part of my day, whether it’s waking up and letting them out first thing in the morning, feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or just spending time with them throughout the day. I’m very used to giving animals constant attention, comfort, and structure because that’s just how I’ve always cared for my own pets. Having both a pitbull mix and a weiner dog has taught me how different every dog’s personality and needs can be. One may want to cuddle while the other wants to play or go outside, so I’m very attentive to their behavior and routines. I also work as a nanny for a family with a French Bulldog and Bernedoodle, so caring for dogs is something that continues throughout my day even while I’m working. I honestly love being around animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Spending time with dogs doesn’t feel like a chore to me at all — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and naturally prioritize in my daily life. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so their pets feel comfortable, safe, and less stressed while they’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can make sure they’re happy and doing well. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person staying in their home with their pets, so I’m very respectful, dependable, and clean. I make sure the home stays tidy, follow any instructions carefully, and keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they know their pets are being well cared for. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making them feel loved and comfortable while their family is away.

“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently working part-time after almost a 9 months of unemployment. I have time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !

About: My goal is simple: to be the absolute best part of your pet's day! Loving animals is what I do best, and having owned dogs for over two decades, I know firsthand the immense joy they bring to a home—and how intimidating it can be to leave them in someone else's care. (I also have a 20-year-old fat cat, so I’m well-versed in all 27 feline moods and love them through every single one!) Let me take the stress off your mind so you can rest easy knowing your fur kids are in patient, loving hands while you're away. After stepping away from the corporate grind, I'm fully pouring my passion into pet care! I bring over two decades of hands-on pet ownership along with professional dog walking experience to make sure your fur babies get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve while you're away. Safety is first! Collars and harnesses are fit checked before we ever leave the house. It's just as important to me that your pet is safe in my care. I check doorways before opening and closing, check areas for debris of any kind on the floor or in reachable areas that might result in a "not-so good time". Keeping your pet safe is my #1 goal.

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks! since i've moved to care for my grandma and can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet and loves exploring local parks and trails. i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff heavy' stroll for seniors or 4 legged friends who love getting distracted! all sizes welcome: i absolutely love dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra large breeds. if you have a giant dog, you are in safe hands here! being a taller, sturdily built person gives me a natural physical advantage and a grounded presence :) i don't get easily knocked off balance or intimidated by heavy pullers, meaning your big dogs get the steady, confident, and secure handling they need! hot weather: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide low-stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!). i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in-home, whether it's playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! my growing services & training: i am now certified in dog training, and offer a train & walk bundle if you're interested!! :) my ultimate goal is to become a true one-stop shop for your dogs, so i am also currently working toward learning professional grooming to add to my services soon! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of august ive completed my initial dog training certification and continue learning to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child & the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked & tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!

Halie gave twice a day coverage for our animals while we were out of town for 8 days, followed our instructions without issue and overall showed no difficulties with showing up on time, communication or with our reactive dog. She also provided plenty of pictures and updates on the animals which was appreciated. Overall a great experience, thank you.

This was our first time using Kennedy for our three cats and she did an awesome job caring for them. She was able to get my shy kitty to come out and be social. She is normally afraid when we are gone. She went beyond to do some extra clean up as well. I would highly recommend her services.

Taylor was great with my dog, Nika. She accepted a last minute booking when my regular sitter fell through which was a lifesaver for both me and my dog’s old lady bladder! My dog was also comfortable enough with Taylor to eat some food so that was an added bonus. I’ll be happy to book with Taylor again

Asis was absolutely incredible. I was concerned my dog would be difficult to manage due to his age, and congestive heart failure. I did a lot of research on Rover to find the right sitter that can handle the medication schedule, and special instructions for an elderly dog. Asis was timely, reliable, and definitely loved by my dog named Rex. I not only recommend using her, but I plan on using her often in the future. Thank you very much!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Walton Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,641 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walton Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters 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 sitter.
