About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: Hello!! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since i was 11 years old! I have been around animals all my life(of all ages and sizes)! I currently have a yorkie and a golden doodle, both friendly with dogs(can be separated if needed)We also have a fenced in backyard for some playtime! My Grandma is also connected with the vets around us! Please lmk what I can do to help with any vacations or just need time. Thank you!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and enjoy staying active. Throughout the day I make time for walks in my neighborhood, outdoor play in my fenced-in backyard, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention and companionship. I plan my day around making sure the pets I’m watching are comfortable, exercised, and cared for. On a weekly basis, I maintain a consistent routine so pets have structure, including regular walks, playtime, and relaxation time, helping them feel safe and at home while their owners are away. 🐶🌿 I have a big fenced in backyard with a dog house and heaters and ac when it’s hot out there. A good neighborhood to walk in and also dog crates that rage from small to large if needed for your dog!! I have 2 dogs myself(yorkie and golden doodle) Both good with other dogs!! If needed to put away they can be.

About: I have always had dogs growing up and got my own when i moved out. I have a 3yr old dog that’s fully trained by myself! I have plenty of free time and flexibility and can’t wait to spend it with your pet! I don’t have very many schedule restrictions and am home a majority of the time. I abide by any rules and schedules you may have for your home or pet! I worry when I leave my own dog, and want to make your time away from your furry friend as comfortable as possible!

My schedule is very open, which allows me to take extra time to care for any animal's needs. I have a great routine of feeding, exercising, and letting them go outside. It is important for our furry friends to feel calm while they are in a new environment.

About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite! I raised a miniature schnauzer for 15 years (RIP Dooney). I now have a senior rescue named, Layla Grayce. I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters and have fostered dogs as well. I will love your fur baby just as they were my own! Thank you for trusting me and allowing me the opportunity to look after your fur baby 💕🐶🐱😊 I work remotely from home. This flexibility allows me to make myself available as needed for your pets needs. I will honor your pups schedule for all feedings, walks, and potty breaks. Layla would be a great companion for your pup as she is gentle and calm. At bedtime, I can crate your pup or allow them to roam my home. I will give them the attention they deserve while doing my best to make sure they feel safe and at home. I’ll also take photos and provide frequent updates while I care for your fur baby :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have cared for many different pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and turtles. I’ve rescued animals, cared for my own pets for many years, and have experience dog-sitting for different families. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care around my classes and work. I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and on days when I don’t have classes, and I’m happy to work with each owner to find a schedule that works best for their pet’s needs. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and follow their normal routine. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and other care based on each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.

About: I’m a dedicated cat owner of two adorable cats and understand how important routines, litter box monitoring, feeding schedules, and daily updates are for pet parents. My cats have had their fair share of issues too so I am accustomed to daily medications and special behaviors. My childhood dog passed away last year, but he was an 110 lb German Shepherd /Alaskan Malamute and I would walk him daily, so I am no stranger to big dogs! I will make sure to send many update pics 😊 Use my code below for $20 off your first Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/audref10358 I currently work a 9-5 but am off at 12 on Fridays, so I am available after work for walks and drop-in’s as well as anytime Friday after 1 and anytime on the weekends! My cats are indoor cats but I am no stranger to taking care of dogs, and big ones at that. Your pet’s safety is my #1 concern

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Welcome. 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 Welcome. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Welcome.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Welcome. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
