About: I’ve been dog sitting for my neighbors since I was in elementary school. I have also owned my own dogs for all of my life. I pride myself on ensuring that every dog I take care of is given above average care. I make sure that they are walked everyday I am taking care of them and also play with them on top of that. I’ve also helped in the process of raising a puppy, which has taught me even more about what dogs require. I don’t have as much experience with cats but I was a cat sitter for my neighbor throughout all of elementary school and middle school (they moved away). I’m a college student so when I’m home for the summer the only things I have are my part time job. This means I’m very openly available to check on the pets, walk them, and play with them. I typically go to the gym every morning, so they’ll be up early and fed early. I will also walk them daily so they’ll get plenty of exercise throughout the day. I provide reliable, attentive care to each pet i care for. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision, lots of bathroom trips, playtime, and rest. There are no kids in my house so it is a very comfortable and calm environment. Even when everyone is home, it’s a comfortable and calm space. In a client’s home, I stick closely to the normal schedule so your pet is as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates with photos so you are confident your pet is being taken good care of. My goal is always to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you’re gone.
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and 3 years with dogs. I trained my dog when he was a puppy, rescued stray cats and helped a lost dog find a new home. Also introduce my second cat who is a strayed cat to my first cat. I’m currently in my gap year so I have lots of time to caring your cat or dogs (also puppy!) Pet care fits into my daily routine as I enjoy spending time training, feeding, and playing with them. Boarding pets will have their own bedroom, and share the living room with/without resident cats depending on how they get along. I have a safe environment at home. There’s no child in home. Additionally, I have experience with pet training and caring for both rescueds and domestic pets. I ensure a loving and secure atmosphere for your furry companions.
“Sarah went above and beyond and notified me of a leak in my kitchen when she came to walk my dog. Without her prompt attention the water would’ve continued flowing for several more hours!”
“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Maxwell is great! He’s always on time and goes above and beyond every visit. It’s a huge relief knowing Maxwell takes such good care of my dog while I’m stuck at work. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
“Hope is amazing! She’s prompt, responsive, follows care instructions carefully, does extra things like bringing in mail (so thoughtful), and seems to truly care about my senior pup. Highly recommended!”

“Prompt, reliable, capable and could be a professional pet photographer all describe Hayley. She has been walking my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy for several weeks. She arrives at the requested time, she's patient with my energetic puppy and takes the best pictures (I've posted them on social media and my friends absolutely LOVE her!). She communicates in a timely manner. I work FT and need someone I can depend on to care for my pet, and Hayley has done a fantastic job doing it. Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve had a dog (my Bestfriend) my whole life but she is unable to walk anymore. I want to relive those moments with other dogs while making other families happy and get away from the chaos in and delight of having a dog. I do have a summer job right now but I wanted to fill up my whole week so most my free days would be Sunday and Monday. I will be available some other days but it would have to be in the early mornings. I would prefer to do walking jobs or taking care of pets for a certain period of time in clients homes. I am in my parents home so it would best best if my services were done somewhere else.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wellston
Sarah is awesome! It was my first time using Rover and she responded to my last-minute request for dog walking immediately. She arrived on time, took pics, and provided a thorough report card after the walk. My dog was sad to see her leave, he watched through the window until she drove off!
Megan helped take care of our golden retriever while we were out of town on vacation. Megan was very thoughtful and kind with his specific needs (training collar, trying to eat EVERYTHING). Amazing communication and quick to respond to our messages as well! We highly recommend Megan for any of your pet sitting needs!!
Margaret walked Alfie weekly for 6 months, and she has been wonderful to work with. She is communicative, punctual, reliable, and very dependable. Alfie is always excited to see her and clearly enjoys their walks together. We really appreciate the care and consistency she brings each week.
Miranda is amazing. She takes care of Tofu so well every time and he is so happy to see her. She is punctual and communicative. I especially love all the action photos and updates she sends of them two throughout the walk! So happy to have someone as wonderful as Miranda taking care of Tofu.
Booked a series of walks from Merrell for our rescue pit mix and rescue greyhound, and they loved every day! Came home happy and ready to rest each time. Merrell was easy to work with and very communicative on the app, I will look forward to booking again any time we need a helping hand with dog walks!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Wellston. 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 Wellston.

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 Wellston. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
