“Melissa and Buster have made it very easy for me to recoup from a broken ankle by walking Penny three times a day for the last month plus. Penny absolutely adores them and is always anxious to go on her walks. They love her as much as she loves them with lots of kisses and hugs. I will definitely call on them in the future and recommend them to anyone who wants caring walkers or sitters.”
About: I’ve been having dogs my whole life had a one for 10 years and had another one she just little over a year old now my Frenchi Zara love to help others who need a sitter or a play date with my little munchkin I work a 2-2-3 schedule I work full time at 2-2-3 schedule message me to set up date and times , I have days where I’m completely open and love to help hope you will let me thank you I have a Frenchi and she is super well cared for very spoiled and loves a play dates if that or more then welcome to go to your home and give the time for your pet !
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and responsibility I bring to caring for dogs. I have experience living with and caring for multiple dogs, so I understand that each dog has their own personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, including energetic puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs who may need extra patience and attention. With puppies, I can help reinforce routines, provide appropriate play and stimulation, work on basic manners, and maintain consistency with their schedule. With senior dogs, I’m attentive to their comfort, mobility, feeding routines, bathroom needs, medication instructions, and need for a calmer pace. I’m also comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering medications when instructed, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I pay close attention to changes in a dog’s behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits so I can communicate any concerns to their owner. Most importantly, I don’t view pet sitting as simply stopping by to provide food and water. I want each dog to receive companionship, attention, exercise, and affection while their family is away. I treat the pets in my care like my own and make their safety and well-being my priority. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I have several dogs, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine. I help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with my animals, and they’re a big part of my life. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are kept in a safe, clean environment. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure to give them plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.

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 Advance. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
