About: Hello, I'm Kylie. My two dogs, Shanti and Nova, and I would be glad to care for your dog while you're away! I'm a healthcare professional with over 20 years of experience, and I work from home full-time. My mother is a retired nurse and shares the home with me. Your pup will never be left alone. At least one of us is always here to give steady attention and company throughout the day. We live in a farmhouse on nearly 3 acres in South Bristol/Canandaigua, a quiet, peaceful setting where dogs can relax and settle in comfortably. Meet my pup crew: • Nova is 10, a border collie/golden retriever mix, and still young at heart. She lives for a belly scratch from anyone she meets and is always ready to greet visitors with her ball. She also loves her frisbee and a good bone to chew. • Shanti is 7, a chihuahua mix. She can be shy and standoffish at first, but she warms up. She spends most of the day snoozing and snuggling into the coziest nook she can find. Your dog will go outside several times a day for walks, fresh air and exercise, and I'm happy to add more at your request. In between, there's plenty of affection, playtime and treats, because a happy dog is a relaxed one. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and am very experienced in giving medications and managing special diets. I follow your dog's routine closely and would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, if you’d like. Every new client stay starts with a meet-and-greet so everyone can get comfortable, and I introduce dogs gradually. Message me about your dog's personality, routine and needs, and we'll make a plan together. I look forward to hearing from you. Pet care is built into my day. I work from home and my mother is retired and lives here too, so our dogs, and any guests, are part of the household routine. We take several outdoor breaks each day, depending on the weather, with plenty of time for play, snuggles and rest in between. Your dog stays in my home, where they're treated as part of the household. I work from home and my mother is retired and lives here too, so someone is always around to keep an eye on the pups and give them company. Safety comes first. Every stay starts with a meet-and-greet, and I introduce the dogs gradually. I ask about your dog's health, behavior, routine and any special needs ahead of time. All dogs must be current on vaccinations, with proof provided before the stay. I follow your feeding and medication instructions closely and would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, if you’d like. Sleeping arrangements follow your dog's usual routine. My dogs sleep in our bedrooms at night, so yours is welcome to as well. I'm also comfortable with crated dogs if that's what they're used to. Outdoor time is supervised, and we take several breaks throughout the day, depending on the weather. We live on nearly 3 acres in a quiet, peaceful setting, which makes for a calm, low-stress stay.
“As usual, Elizabeth was absolute magic with my two dogs. She has incredible empathy, and the dogs adore her. She also goes above and beyond to keep my house in immaculate condition. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I am loving, honest, and willing to go above and beyond for your animal. I can take care of medication needs, training, potty training, and more. I have CPR training and can provide comfort for the anxious friends too! I am disabled, but have 100% commitment and free time to help your fur baby out. My schedule is open and readily available. I can also provide last minute services. I treat every animal with respect and love, mine or not. They deserve the best care regardless of breed, size, or condition. Each animal gets the same one on one care.
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. I’ve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if they’re on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 460 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wayland. 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 Wayland. 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 Wayland 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 Wayland. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
