“Nautica was great ! She took her time to really get to know Styles and it showed during her care. She went to his favorite parks and even bought him a toy!! The pictures were so cute, I could see his excitement through the pictures !! I also appreciated her willingness to give food and water and clean up the mess my other pets made.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
“Would definitely recommend and choose Cheryl again! She walked and played with our high energy, 1 year old border heeler while we were away. We were at ease knowing he was with someone who could handle all of his wildness. Thanks again!”
“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”
“Thank you Bronte for taking such good care of Olivia, and for the beautiful photos of her walk :-) She is a nervous little dog and it means so much to us that she is in good hands <3 <3 <3”
“Ryan was so attentive and went above and beyond for our leash-reactive pup on their twice-daily walks. He made us feel comfortable leaving the country and leaving our dog in someone else’s care.”
“Julian is great with my baby Sully! Sully is very stubborn (but also very sweet!). Julian has been patient with him and very caring. He has done a wonderful job! We will continue to use him for our walks! Thank you Julian!!!”
“Maria is amazing! She came to my rescue fairly last minute with a series of walks for my big ol AmStaff and Daisy loves her! She spent time loving in her every walk which was super sweet and even helped with clean up when my anxious pup had an accident on the carpet. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her(: Thank you, Maria!!”
“Casie, is a joy to work with. She is always on time. She is so caring and loving with my puppy. I can tell she really cares. Will definitely continue to use her.”
About: *UPDATE*- I am home from college so I am available around South Jersey! I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I currently have 6 cats, a senior dog and a fish named Pedro, after the infamous Pedro Pascal. I’ve dealt with animals healthy and disabled, I’ve also dealt with animals of all sizes including horses! I rode horses for 14 years of my life and I’ve dealt with animals as small as a fish. For $15 extra I can do a professional photography photo shoot with the pets and include 5 digital photos and 1 complimentary 8x10 print 😊 I am currently a Junior at Stevenson University, so the pets I sit need to be okay with being let alone for a couple of hours while I attend classes. I also work part-time as a student film worker at my university's equipment room, and that's about ten hours a week. I care for pets very cautiously. I love all animals and want to make sure all pets are happy and safe within the environment I create.
“My Zeus is so happy with Dimitri that when he arrives he grabs his leash and refuses to let us say hi! We are extremely happy with Dimitri he is on time and communicates very well with any changes or updates. I would highly recommend him just not on my day and time.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was in 5th grade. I have had a dog my whole life who is dog reactive and territorial and I have played a huge part in training her. I have taken care of my neighbors' pets and my family members' pets for the past 12 years every time they go away on vacation or need last-minute emergency help. I also volunteered as a dog walker at the SPCA in 2019 and went through animal behavior training. I have pet-sit both dogs and cats, old and young, and have taken care of dogs in need of taking medication. I am a very reliable, patient, and understanding person who is excited to work with you and your pets! I am currently a graduate student and work part-time. My schedule is pretty flexible and I have availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will communicate any specific time conflicts before booking. I do not offer to take care of pets in my home at the moment. I will be able to take care of your dog in your home however you prefer. I am very respectful of other people's homes and will be very flexible to your pet's specific schedule or needs.
“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

My services include daily walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

Whether it’s a quick walk, extended sitting, or companionship throughout the day, I treat every dog like family—making sure they’re happy, active, and well cared for at all times. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first. 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, and I structure my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent, attentive care. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I make sure each dog gets the right balance of exercise, play, and rest depending on their energy level and needs. I also build in time for updates to pet owners, so they always know how their dog is doing. Throughout the week, I stay organized by scheduling regular walks and sitting visits in advance, while still allowing flexibility for last-minute requests when possible.

Maria provided last-minute support and handled everything with professionalism and care. She Communicated clearly throughout. Maggie was well cared for, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would confidently recommend Maria and look forward to working with her again.
Breanna was amazing! My dog and puppy immediately felt comfortable with their new friend. She communicated with me through the entire process so it was easy to book a walk and also know how the pups were doing. My dogs enjoyed their walks and outside time. They were well cared for! I will definitely be booking with Breanna again!
Michael is attentive to the details when he takes care of my dogs. Today he noticed that I’d accidentally left a door open that could have led to them getting out - he contacted me to check if it was intentional and took care of it right away when I confirmed it was a mistake. Michael is the best :)

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 Academy Acres. 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.

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 Academy Acres. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
