“This was my first time ever utilizing the app. I was so nervous and worried. She ensured me all would be fine. Sophia sent pictures along the way. She did amazing. She will definitely be my Mercedes favorite person in no time. 🩷”
About: I am an Army spouse wanting to help other military members with watching their fur babies. I can relate to the difficulty of not having family and friends in the area to watch over them when you have to or want to travel. I have had pets all my life. Currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats, have owned chickens. Very good at taking care of pets and haven’t come across any animal that hasn’t liked me. I am an Army spouse with plenty of time to look after your fur babies. I have time to play with them and walk them if needed. I can watch them during weekdays and weekends if needed. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. They will have plenty of fun being able to play. I can crate your dog if needed.
“Ana has been EXTRA Greta with our overactive Dalmatian. Ana is very professional, very friendly, and is always on time. She takes extra good care of our girl. I am so happy we found Ana to help us with our dog walking needs.”
About: I provide thoughtful, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. I take the time to build trust at your pet’s pace, keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Beyond the basics, I focus on the little details—clean spaces, fresh food and water, engaging playtime, and plenty of affection (when they want it). I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care. Being available throughout the day means I can accommodate feeding times, play sessions, and any special needs, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care. My home environment is safe, clean, and well-suited for pets, providing a calm and comfortable space where animals can feel secure. I maintain a tidy, hazard-free area by keeping toxic substances, small objects, and other potential dangers out of reach. The space is regularly cleaned and properly ventilated, ensuring good hygiene for both pets and their surroundings. I also create a quiet, low-stress atmosphere that allows pets to relax, while still offering space for play and movement. Overall, my environment is designed to prioritize pet safety, comfort, and trust at all times.
“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
About: As a Christian I know to love everyone like myself. But animals are impossible to love more than anything else. They are the most pure thing with the kindest angel heart. I also worked as a caregiver because I love helping everyone. I’m a full time student but caring for animals is my full time job. But it’s not work when you love what you do! I love seeing animals and being with animals all the time. I have a big backyard for animals to run and play as much as they’d like, including a big fence all around to prevent anyone coming in or them going out.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: As a pet mom of 17 to 18 years, I have experience in taking care of both cats and dogs. I have had my fur babies since I was a child so I am also familiar with taking care of kittens/puppies as well as special care for senior dogs and senior cats with arthritis, kidney disease, and seizures. I have an especially soft spot for cats but adore all animals the same. Every fur baby deserves to feel safe and loved. I am currently focusing on my small crochet business so my schedule is pretty flexible. I prefer to work in the afternoons, as mornings are the bane of my existence. But! I am open to working in the mornings if needed <3 Whether its taking them for a walk, playing till their hearts content, cleaning up after especially messy babies (including dreaded baths), scheduled feeding, supplying them with a cozy lap to nap on, or even special care such as giving medication, or caring for senior babies. Anything they would need, I would be delighted to do it all for your baby to feel safe and loved while their parents are away!
“Nayeli is always so professional in and around my home and my dogs--she is knowledgeable and friendly! Even my shy kid warmed up to her almost immediately! My dogs love her! I haven't been able to walk my dogs due to some health issues, and she has been so valuable to our family. Thank you so much for your continued care!”
About: I have a schnauzer/ terrier mix. Love my dog, I care about animals just like you do! Teach me how to take care of yours! I am currently on the job market, so I have lots of free time to take care of those fur babies! Love them all haha. I respect boundaries and limitations, especially at someone’s house, I work well with animals because they’re easier to babysit, not as unpredictable as humans haha.
About: i’ve taken care of pets my whole life, i’ve also trained a few pups in my life so i believe i could also train yours! Since I’m home for the summer and don’t currently have a job, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m able to spend plenty of time feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so I can easily work around different pets’ needs and routines. I care for pets by providing a safe and comfortable environment. i would like to optimize the pets comfort even if it’s over my own. I plan to go above and beyond since i know how important and scary it can be to let a stranger care for your loved one. Whatever the animal needs to be happy, i will do it even if it’s a little song before they eat or to be tucked in to nap.
About: I love dogs of all kinds, but I have a soft spot for anxious or reactive dogs. I know how to give them the extra patience and care they need. My own dog brings light to my world so I know how special it is to trust someone with your best friend. I provide dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting. I have a dog myself so I’m familiar with how to care for dogs. I don’t work currently so I’m free every week day and weekend! I can crate pets, feed them, play with them, and clean up after them! I know how to be firm but gentle and loving and kind to animals
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care. I work Monday through Wednesday. I can also work Friday and Saturday if needed, and prefer to have Sundays off to maintain a balanced schedule. Currently living in a townhouse with a small fenced yard. Living with three dogs, we have 2 crates we use when all occupants are out of the house.
About: I absolutely love doggies they make my heart complete. I have 8 years of experience working at PetSmart and doing teeth cleanings at 24 hour night clinics. I treat them like my own because there is no better company than a dogs company. I am at home all day so I enjoy taking them for walks and playing with them. I will make sure they feel at home My yard is big and has a brick wall about 5 feet tall. They are under constant supervision between me and my kids they will feel right at home.
“Michelle is such a joy to work with. She was accommodating to meet the boys prior to their first walk, and they all took to each other quite well. She's thoughtful in her walk activities to their individual needs and environmental concerns (like the heat and sun). The rover cards are always wl documented and provided with plenty of cute photos.”
About: Grew up with several dogs and farm animals of my own, and cared for many different breeds and sizes. Coming from a military family, since the age of 8, I have cared and babysat my families, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats while away. With caring for my two family dogs, I have attended several dog training courses teaching the importance of basic commands, socializing them properly, getting them both the right amount of exercise daily. I love personally teaching and training animals with treat puzzles, hide and sniff, treat Kongs that require mental stimulation and thinking! I am also able to take your fur babies to dog parks, walks, runs, work and trails/hikes with permission! I have a ton of experience with pets in general, I have grown up with animals my whole life - then when I got a place of my own that’s when I realized I can help care for yours as well! Your pet will be in great hands. I have a four bedroom home with plenty of space for your pet(s) to explore and hang out, I have a park near my house, and a fenced yard as well. If you rather your pet get some one on one time that can be arranged too! I am reliable and flexible with scheduled and last minute plans! I absolutely love animals and I understand the trust and responsibility required to care for your fur babies. Health and welfare of your animals is of the utmost importance to me. I will make sure I meet all your pets needs. Your pet will come first! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! My schedule is flexible for your needs! Whether it be in-home boarding or frequent visits to your home, I am able to care and tend to your fur babies throughout the day. Health and welfare of animals is of utmost importance to me.

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.

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.
