About: Hi! I'm Ashley, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I previously owned and operated Happy Tales Pet Care, a professional pet sitting and dog walking business serving families in the area. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as cats, rabbits, and even a house pig! Whether your pet needs a walk or a drop-in visit while you're away, I will treat them like one of my own. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away so you can relax knowing they are in good hands. Although I no longer run my pet sitting business full-time, I'm excited to offer pet care services again this summer and reconnect with the community I previously served. I offer complimentary meet-and-greets for new clients and look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m able to follow your pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs like oral medication. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care every visit. I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and oral medications or special diets when needed. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and well cared for, while respecting the home and maintaining a clean environment during each visit.
About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
About: I have two dogs of my own, one raised from a puppy who is now 8 and a rescue that came to me as an adult but needed alot of help with anxiety and has high energy so I'm well rounded with dog care. I've spent my whole life around animals and I love having a friend to walk and play with and would love to fill my free time fulfilling your pets needs! I'm home during the day so I'll have plenty of time for your friend. I'm available for check-ins and walks between 9am-3pm. Most days any time after 3 I am available but will have two helpers who also love animals. My schedule is flexible so any concerns or adjustments can most likely be accommodated. I always carry spare bags and leashes so I'm prepared if I can't find your pets or their business happens in an inopportune place. My dogs are crate trained so I have no problem remembering to put them back after a visit if that's something you need.
About: I have managed a boarding facility for the last 8 years. I decided that our fur babies need a lot more attention. I have bathed pups, done nails, given meds including insulin, built bonds with fearful dogs with patience and time. I have always owned senior animals so I do well with our senior fur babies as well with gentle loving care. My life has evolved around pet care. I have worked 60+ hours a week at a boarding facility. So I can be available 24 hours a day to keep strictly to your pet care routine. Routines are important with our fur babies I will make sure your pups and cats are fed on time. Taken out regularly and clean up where ever they do potty. I will play with them outside or inside so they get both physical stimulation and love on them for the emotional and mental stimulation

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in West Branch on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 West Branch. 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 West Branch.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
