About: Hello! I specialize in caring for cats and big dogs, but I love all animals. I especially love cuddly and low energy pets. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets for a few years and now would like to expand my pet sitting services. I currently have two cats and have grown up with dogs as well. I’m a full time college student, currently attending night classes Monday-Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and early afternoon on these days. Scheduling overnights on these days depend on how frequently your pets need check ins. Thursday-Sunday I’m available all day to give your pets the attention they need! Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority. I take the time to get to know your pets and understand what they need from my visit, whether it’s high energy playtime or cuddles and belly rubs.

About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pups gets plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each dog is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pets needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each doggo gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!

“Oreo and I so appreciate Amanda and Hector’s help during these beginning weeks of the new school year! I know Oreo looks forward to going on his lunch potty breaks with Hector where he can sniff to his heart’s content. 🐕 💜 🥰 We truly appreciate Hector’s flexibility when he comes a bit earlier some days due to the hotter weather or Oreo’s needs. We will definitely be requesting Amanda & Hector again!”

About: I loved animals since I was young and have experience caring and sitting for them, whether it be dogs or cats. I have experience dog and cat sitting for my friends and family for years, and believe every animal should get the love and respect they deserve! As a dog mom to my own Maltipoo, Mochi, I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and patience as I would my own :) * I have hands on experience administering insulin injections for diabetic cats. I have experience pet sitting for my friend's cat, Kiwi, such as changing her food and water bowls, cleaning out the litter box, and making sure to follow vet specific medication and insulin routines. * I have experience walking dogs of all breeds, from small pups to larger, stronger breeds. I make sure collar and leashes are secure before walking, and I am attentive to them during and after walks. * I ensure to follow feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and household rules to keep your pet's routine consistent! I make sure to clean and change water and food bowls, clean up messes in the backyard and/or litter boxes, engage in lots of play times, and have experience giving dog baths when requested. * I pay close attention to each pet's body language, distinct personalities, and individual energy levels to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I also make sure to give speedy updates to owners with pictures and messages :) I currently have open and flexible availability and will do my best to adjust to your availability and schedule :) From mid-day walks to strict feeding times, I would be able to provide tailored pet care times. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for animals, I want to make sure they feel secured and well loved by double checking harnesses and collars before every walk and stay fully aware of our surroundings, adjusting my handling depending on your dog's size and energy. I also make sure to bring drinking water if requested. I also make sure all doors, gates, and windows are locked during visits so pets stay safe indoors, along with regular updates and photos during visits and/or walks!

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I love playing with them, taking care of them, giving them love, and any other care they need. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I just had my first baby a couple months ago who is not yet crawling or walking. So I’m available throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced yard with space for pets to run around and get some air. I do have a 3 month old kitten but I have a lot of space in my house and if your pet doesn’t get along with cats I am able to section off my kitty to one side of the house during your furry friend’s stay here.

About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Emily, and I am thrilled to offer a safe, fun, and reliable home-away-from-home for your beloved four-legged family members. As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is an energetic ball of fluff who needs to burn off some energy, or a sweet senior soul who just wants a quiet cuddle on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique personality and routine! 🐕 Services Provided & Activities When your pet is with me, their day will be filled with structure, safety, and a whole lot of fun. The services I provide are fully customizable, but a typical day of care or visit often includes: Tailored Exercise & Neighborhood Walks: Active walks to explore local spots, sniff all the good trails, and get some great fresh air. Engaging Playtime & Mental Stimulation: From classic games of fetch to interactive toys, I love keeping pets mentally and physically sharp. Cozy Cuddle Time & Companionship: Plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and relaxing downtime to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and loved. Routine Maintenance: Timely feeding, refreshing water bowls, administering any required medications, and ensuring a clean environment (including keeping litter boxes spotless for feline friends). Daily Photo Updates: I love capturing great candid moments! You can expect regular, bright photo and text updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you're away. 📚 My Pet Care Experience I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from high-energy dogs to independent, sweet cats. My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive. My Schedule: I manage my professional responsibilities with an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet's needs first. Time Spent with Your Pet: Because I have excellent control over my daily calendar, your pet will never be an afterthought. I am able to dedicate significant chunks of the day to direct interaction, frequent potty breaks, and structured play. Evenings & Weekends: I have fantastic availability for overnight stays, weekend boarding, or dedicated evening drop-ins, ensuring that your pet maintains their normal routine without disruption. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions, details about your pet's specific quirks, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.

About: Greetings! I grew up in a home that could only be described as “animal-enthusiast central”—dogs, cats, the occasional parakeet, even a mouse or two. Caring for animals has quite literally been a lifelong habit, not just a job. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments and breeds (honestly, I haven’t met one I didn’t love). I’ve also volunteered with Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior and care. I’m comfortable with: • Administering medications • Multi-pet households • Special routines and quirks • Keeping your home in order (mail, trash bins, etc.) I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own—reliable, attentive, and always tuned in to what your pet needs to feel safe and happy. Because I currently have a few stray cats who’ve decided my yard is their forever home, I’m offering in-home care only—overnights, drop-ins, or custom schedules that fit your needs. If you’re looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to connect. Let’s set up a meet & greet and make sure it’s the perfect fit—for you and your pets 🐶🐱 Pretty open to all requests and try to accommodate for last minute scenarios. I retired semi early so my schedule is fairly adaptable to all. Former 5-star sitter here, making my grand return to Rover after a brief (and not-so-passionate) detour into another career. Turns out, nothing compares to caring for animals—so I’m back doing what I genuinely love.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & cannot imagine life without one. My current fur baby is a 4 year old black lab & I’ve learned a lot about dog training over the last 4 years. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day & they rely on their humans for everything. Please allow me to love, entertain, & care for your fur babies whenever you are not available. I’m happy to be their second best friend. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 humans & 1 Labrador Retriever. I am available weekdays before 3pm with some flexibility 3-5pm. Available for meet & greet Saturday or Sunday. I will take notes on any special instructions or requests you have. Every pet has a different play style & individual needs so I aim to treat each one in a way that makes them (& you) happy.

About: I am a long-time animal lover, animal advocate, and animal welfare professional. I've had animals all my life, have volunteered for numerous animal groups, and have worked for a national animal welfare organization for the past 20 years. I have fostered neonatal kittens and have had several special-needs cats in my lifetime. I know how to administer sub Q fluids, give insulin injections, trim nails, and more. While I am a cat owner, I love dogs equally and will give your dog the love and care he/she'd receive in your own home. I’d love the opportunity to give you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for while you’re out of town. Thank you for considering me! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate most pet care needs. I am the mom to a teenage son, so I have lots of time on my hands and I’d love to spend my time giving your pet the love and care they deserve. I know a lot of people have specific instructions on how to care for their pet while they’re away, I adhere to all requests and rules, and make sure there’s lots of time for play and snuggles too.

Stephanie was great and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking and other pet care services. Stephanie was extremely friendly and very communicative while we were away on a recent trip. Her updates gave us peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands and we really enjoyed the pictures she sent. It was so nice to know that our dogs were getting regular exercise and much needed mid day attention. We will definitely be using her services again the next time we are out of town.

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

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Arden-Arcade after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 .

  • 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
