About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently doing online college, majoring In Biomedical Science! Because of this, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the week and (or) weekends! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house-sitting, and I have reliable transportation. I love staying active and spending time with fur babies, so this fits perfectly into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be one of my top priorities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, grooming, walks, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal has different types of needs and personalities, so I always take time to make them feel safe and relaxed. I also love to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and in good hands! 🐾
“Alison has been great with our puppy for walks! She gives him lots of scratches and snuggles while we’re out and we feel better knowing she’s spending time with him!”
“Melissa helped us out on short notice and was amazing! She was on time and cared for Lady like she was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
“Rosie took my dog for a walk for the first time recently. My dog is extremely wary of new people, but Rosie managed to win her favor. She sent me lots of status updates and a video of my dog playing with her VERY happily, which is always a great sign. I'm sure we'll be using Rosie again in the future!”
“Rachel was a pleasure. Phoebe can be a little quirky, but liked Rachel. Rachel was extremely professional and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her hands. I will use Rachel’s services again in the future.”
“My dog Loki had a fantastic time going for walks and romps in the fields with Lauren. He's a high energy puppy and I enjoyed seeing his daily updates Lauren provided, that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Definitely will use her services again. Thanks a ton Lauren.”

“By the pictures alone, Ralph seems to have loved it. When we made it home, it was nice to know he was able to relieve himself while we were both unable to do so due to a strange glitch in our schedules. JEN WAS GREAT! Her communication was perfect, she was as very attentive and made me feel at ease from close to 100 miles away from 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 Yerkes. 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 Yerkes.

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 Yerkes. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
