About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

I high recommend Rachel, she was outstanding! She provided great photos and updates while we were out of town and adjusted the walk schedule based on the summer temperatures and our dog ability to walk long distances. She agreed to do a pre-visit to ensure all communication was clear. Her communication was quick and responsive to me each step along the way. We will definitely book her again. Thanks Rachel!!!

About: I am super flexible and comfortable with dog care. I currently have an energetic young german shepherd so I understand the importance of dogs getting lots of exercise so that they can relax throughout the day. The main breeds I have experience with are Labs/Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, Mixed Breed herding dogs, and Horses! I understand when dogs want to play and when they need their own space to relax. I currently have a german shepherd that I exercise twice a day either by walking, hiking, fetching or chasing hose water. Typically, I do one of these activities in the morning and one in the evening. My dog is free fed throughout the day, but I am familiar with dogs that prefer the routine of scheduled feeding or don't have self control, so I am comfortable following the routine that the dog is used to. I have a great walkable neighborhood, but I am very familiar with great places to walk and hike with dogs throughout the city. I am a grad student with lots of flexibility so my schedule is different from week to week, during the summer I will have lots of time each day to spend with your pup, but during the year I will provide excersize but less one-on-one time. I have a fenced in yard and a 1900 square foot home with hard surfaced floors. I don't allow my dogs on furniture, but if your dog is used to it, that is not currently a concern. My fences are sturdy and chain link, and about four feet tall. I prefer dogs that are crate trained overnight, and am happy to provide my own crates for them to sleep in. If they are not, I would happy to set up a play pen environment for them to be in!

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Becca, and I have been pet-sitting for 8 years. Throughout that experience, many pet parents of varying ages have entrusted me with their furry children. I adore caring for animals, as I have a sweet orange cat of my own! I promise that I will give the same care and love to your pet that I give to my own little one. I currently work part time, and I am usually off at the critical times when I would need to drop in to feed your pet! I am always able to adjust my schedule to fit the times you will need me, especially in advance. The biggest thing for me when caring for my pets as well as your pet is to prioritize quality time with them. In addition to food of course. I make sure to spend as much time with my pets as I can, as they definitely notice when you're not interested in spending time with them. "Most importantly, I will try my best to make sure your pet is comfortable and not stressed. Trust between myself and my clients and their pets is essential!

About: I grew up owning pets of all kinds and played a significant role in the care and education of them from an early age. Whether it was cleaning up their messes, bathing them, walking them, feeding them, or breeding cocker spaniels, it was something I loved to do. I was taught that our pets were family and so I will treat yours like my best friends at the very least. I find it difficult to leave my little buddy when I leave town, so you can rest assured yours will be given the same care I expect from whomever I leave in care of my pets. I don't want them to sit in a crate all day and night, I expect for them to get the exercise and attention they need to grow and feel loved.

She was on it and made me feel so comfortable that a drop of a dime she was there to take care of my sweet pup. She sent me a pic of my pup that helped me calm down while I was LITERALLY boarding a plane for a work trip. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

About: Since I was little, I was around animals all the time. My mom‘s cat lady gene was very strong, because I have six very special cats myself: Ruby (an orange tabby with three legs), Freya (a long-haired dilute torbie), Luna (a silly calico), Phoebe (a tortie with white socks), Callisto (a gray teddybear who came to us as a yard stray) and Poe (void cat who was born in our house). Although I do not want the commitment of adding a dog to the mix full-time, I also love taking care and playing with all puppers! I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible work times. I can schedule walks and check-ups early in the mornings and starting after 5 pm in the afternoon. I am available most weekends, both Saturday and Sunday. I will familiarize myself with your space and where your pets are allowed. It is important to me to understand if your pet will try to test limits and rules with me that might apply in your home. Both cats and dogs react differently to strangers, so it is important for me to not force them to interact if they want their space.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for senior pets and administering medications according to their specific needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to provide personalized care, whether that means maintaining a consistent routine, offering extra patience to older pets, or ensuring active pets get plenty of exercise and attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands. As an Interior Design student at the University of Alabama, I maintain a flexible but structured schedule that allows me to balance my academic responsibilities with my part-time job. While classes and work keep me busy, I make it a priority to stay organized and manage my time effectively. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable pet care, ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and the care they need throughout each visit. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.

I will be available to check on your pets every 2-4 hours, and I have a very open schedule!

I am comfortable with crating, medicating, cleaning after, and exercising any type of pet. I aim to make sure the pets are comfortable and happy while their owners are away!

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs! Since I haven’t been able to get a dog of my own, I decided to start dogsitting, boarding, and walking. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. We will go to the park, play, and take naps together. I am very patient, loving, and engaged. Your dogs will be in a safe space, and be treated just as you would treat them. I believe I am different from other sitters and walkers because I am flexible, and very understanding. Everyone has things that come up and we all want the very best for our animals. Allow me to give your dogs a fun time, feel safe and protected, and allow you to get your business handled.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Woodland Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 254 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Woodland Forest. 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 Woodland Forest. 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 Woodland Forest.

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 Woodland Forest. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
