About: I have always had animals in my life. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, birds, horses, ducks, chickens, turkeys and goats. I currently have 3 cats and a dog. For as long as I can remember animals have always been in my life! I’ve worked with animals from young kittens and puppies to seniors, I absolutely love spending time with other people’s pets along with my own. I am a college student taking classes in the summer. I am available to take care of your pet babies overnight and in the morning to afternoon to early evening I give all our cats and dog the best treatment possible, I wake up and feed them, take our dog on walks, cuddle up with the kitties while doing homework and spend the night with all of them sleeping in my bed with me (I love them so much I let them sleep on my pillow and steal 90% of the bed space😂)
About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well! For cats I love being with them and keeping them company, while feeding and providing clean up.
“Brianna was communicative, kind and clearly took wonderful care of our pup! She provided thorough details about her time with our doggo and the pictures were proof of just how happy our little one was in her care. 5/5, 10/10 and any other top ratings we could share 🌟”
“Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.”
“Maddy was once again wonderful. Always communicating with me well and going above and beyond to help when my pups when she was sick! Will definitely book again in future :)”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently my family has a golden retriever since 2019 and helped train and take care of him all these years. I genuinely love dogs and think they should be treated well and taken care of and given love as they always give us love and affection. I work full time at a restaurant but always mornings so the second half of my day is pretty available and flexible to do walks. House visits on days I work may be hard because I have to leave for work very early but it just depends on the circumstances. I’m willing to be open and flexible about such things. I rent out of my family’s house so I will not be offering that kind of care in my own home only in the clients.
About: A animal lover who truly enjoys taking care of animals (any species). Currently residing with 5 best friends-3 cats, 2 dogs -German Shepherd (female 3 years old) and Amstaff Lab Mix (9.5 years old),of course the cats run the show! I have trained puppies and older dogs basic obedience. I have experience giving medications to dogs as well as wound care. I believe that a safe environment is the most important part when handling animals or being around animals as it creates the necessary foundation for healthy relationships between dogs,cats (other animals) and humans. I’m currently not working and have plenty of time to care for dogs, go on walks with dogs and play with dogs. I am able to provide an environment for doggy play dates in my backyard that is 5 acres fully fenced. I am also able to board dogs, if needed. I have a fenced backyard on 5 acres where your dogs can run free, play with toys, cool off in a pool (during summer time) as well as play with my 2 dogs. I am able to crate dogs if needed as well as take them on walks.
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog, Shaggy, for the past 11 years, so I understand the patience, love, and attention pets need every day. A few years ago, my family also welcomed another dog, Bella, into our home, and we’ve been caring for her ever since. Looking after two dogs has taught me how to meet different personalities and needs, whether that’s going on fun walks, playing, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they receive plenty of love, care, and attentio I am working part time and have plenty of time this summer to meet and take care of many cute faces I am available almost anytime. In my home we have two dogs who are my best friends I love carrying for them a well as having a good time and seeing them have fun.
“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”
“Extremely great experience. Our dog is always excited and happy when Siria arrives for a walk. Very professional at all times and takes care our dog extremely well! Highly recommend!!”
“Jay displayed professionalism and patience when my dogs were being difficult. She had great communication and made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Would 100% recommend!”
“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”
About: My name Brittani and I’m here to tell you I have expertise in many kinds of animals. I have 11 pets (8 small exotics and 1 Yorkie) that I care for from rescues and other outlets. I also have two neutered male cats who are very loving. I have vets come to my home regularly and I have experience with many types of dogs. I’m most experienced in dogs under 50lbs. I own my own accounting business and I work from home only 1 day a week. The rest is taking care of my pets. So, your pet will be with someone who loves them and cares for them. I have always been an animal person since I was little. I love to learn more about your pet and what you need to help make your furry friend as happy as can be. I work from home and can be here for your pet 24/7. I will give your pet plenty of human time and cuddles. I will also follow your feeding instructions and schedule from home. In my home, your pet is our pet. They will sleep with us (unless exotic) and have free roam of the house. I’m home all day so they will have plenty of human time as well.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
“Eugene was responsive, reliable, punctual, polite, and thoughtful. We scheduled him for a last minute walk with our two large dogs, who are also rather quirky. Eugene asked smart questions, listened attentively, and did a great job. We're hiring him again already.”
“Erin has provided daily mid-day walks for my senior beagle mix, Amigo, for more than a month now. She is utterly reliable, punctual, organized, friendly, and simply a joy to work with. Erin is kind and affectionate my dog, and he adores her. She has a wealth of experience in caring for pets and gave me great ideas that I hadn't thought of for making things run smoothly, such as getting a lock box for the house key as well as advice on comforting a dog who's alarmed by thunder and other loud noises. She is a smart, polished professional and the ideal person to hire to care for your beloved pet.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Yocum on Rover is $22.2 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 Yocum. 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 Yocum.

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 Yocum. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
