About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and their innocence. I am reliable and sweet to them at all times! I am currently working a part time job and my hours fluctuate, but I still have a flexible schedule to dog walk either when I get off or before work! I have a shih tzu at home who is a very calm dog. I feed her twice a day with blood pressure meds. She might already be tired of how much love I show her every second of the day!

About: I work in a rescue clinic where I have developed skills like administering medication, working with all ages from newborns to seniors, and working with animals of all sizes! I have owned a variety of pets over the years, and have had them from newborns up to 20 yrs old. My years of caring for animals includes everything from daily care, medications, subcutaneous fluids, special needs animals, fostering cats & dogs, and just about everything in between. My current role with a group I work with is TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) of feral & community cats, as well as working in the vet clinic. The spicy kitties and scared doggies are some of my favorites because they need patience, compassion, and a different approach than a typical pet. From the furry & fuzzy animals to the scaly & slithering, they are all welcome in my life! I would love to meet your babies and help you feel good knowing they are loved and cared for during your time away. I am not available on Tuesdays since that is the day I work in a rescue vet clinic. Every day I care for my personal pets, and would love to add your fur babies to my days. At this time, I'm not available to care for your pets in my home but I would be happy to recommend facilities that can care for your pets.
“Catecha really stepped in for us while in a bind due to last minute work trips and my overnight work schedule. Diesel loves walks, so I know he was excited for a morning one. Thanks again!”

“Elizabeth was great....in communication, early arriving (for military people, on time), able to successfully walk my 3 dogs. She is what my dogs and I both needed.”


About: I have had pets all of my life, and I have helped take care of them from puppies to seniors. I have applied that knowledge into my professional work as well. I can feed and bathe pets, walk, and administer pills. I have previously worked with dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies. I am also close to several animal shelters and help socialize, walk, help with adoptions, and foster when needed. I am currently working as a contract worker, so I have free time and flexibility to take care of your fur babies! I take care of my own personal kitty cat, but other than that I am completely free to take care of your fur kids. When caring for animals at a client's home, I make sure to find out any and all safety features or precautions needed for their pets. I try to make sure the pets stay on their schedule, including any routines they may have such as walking a certain path, going out a specific door, etc.
“Our Eli loves Karen and we trust her with our precious little boy. She’s always on time and takes the time to make sure Eli is cared for and settled before she leaves. Thank you, Karen!”

About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets since I was 7 years old. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny pups to giant breeds. And I’m comfortable handling energetic, strong, and high-maintenance dogs as well. I understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and quirks, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and dependable presence, I’m happy to help! I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I currently work part time and have a new baby, but I am available Thursday-Sunday anytime before 2pm! If a day is needed outside those days and hours it will depend on if I have child care available! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I respect your home and your pet’s space, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away!
About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.

I will nurture your dog make them feel safe and be able to trust me.. I don’t have much of a special kills as far as teaching your dog how to do tricks lol but I can at least try. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule.

About: Caring for pets and house sitting has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’m just getting started here on Rover, but I have over 15 years of experience managing homes and caring for all kinds of animals. Whether looking after my own pets or stepping in to help others, I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to every detail. Having owned a senior pets myself, I understand the patience, gentle touch, and close monitoring they require. I am fully trained and comfortable administering medications, including oral doses and injections, so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing your pet's health is in expert hands. My schedule is currently flexible and I'm eager to help you and your furry friends. I'm usually available after after a 24 hour notice. For House Sitting or Drop-Ins I treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your security routines. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are locked securely behind me. During visits, your pets are kept on a leash in unfenced areas. For Dog Walking Your dog's physical safety is my primary focus. I double-check all equipment (collars, harnesses, and leashes) before we leave the house and strictly avoid high-traffic or hazardous walking paths. I keep dogs on-leash at all times and remain highly alert to other dogs and traffic in your neighborhood.

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.
