Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alpha
Jessenia is absolutely wonderful with my puppy! You can tell she genuinely cares about him and takes the time to make his walks a positive experience. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she is with him. She is very educated on large high energy puppies and I would definitely book her again!
We recently worked with Kristie, as she helped routinely walk our dog while we were away on vacation. Before we left, Kristie came on her own time and met us and our dog. We were a bit nervous for anyone to walk our dog because he is a near 100 lb. chocolate Labrador Retriever who is full of energy and pulls while walking. While we were away, Kristie handled him great and it was evident that our dog loved her. Great people like Kristie are hard to come by and we would highly recommend her! We plan to use Kristie anytime we need pet sitting or dog walking in the future!

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 Alpha. 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.

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.
