“Ilia was excellent. Could not recommend more highly. She was very friendly and flexible when a last minute emergency hit. She took Huey to her house to ensure he would be well cared for. Thank you so much!”
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.
“Mariela accepted my dog visit bookings on short notice over the 4th of July weekend and took great care of them. She followed my instructions expertly and sent me photos. I recommend her 10/10!”
About: My experience comes from caring for my own pets and giving them consistent, loving care. I’ve had a cat since I was around 12–13 and have been responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing with, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog and have lived in homes with dogs, so I’m comfortable around both cats and dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have pets of my own as of now, but I am always free to show animals the love and care needed. I'm available for pet care and happy to help!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I follow each pet's routine , keep them supervised, and make sure they have food, water, attention, and a comfortable space.
About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.
About: I've always had a special love for pets that allows me to treat every pet like my own. To love and nurture them like my child. I don't have much experience being a sitter but I can always gain & work harder to ensure the best experience for every pet. I'm currently a part-time worker, permitting me to have a lot of available time which I would love to spend with your pups. All weekend I'm available & Tuesdays. All other days I'm available before 3pm & after 9pm. Whenever I dog-sit for a friend I always treat their pup like a toddler. All my attention goes to them to gain trust & understanding. To feed and take bathroom breaks on schedule. To have as much fun as possible so that when it is time to rest they will have the best sleep.
About: I am a very patient person and I use that patience to get to know every animal i interact with. I adore the beauty and intelligence of every animal I come across. I don’t have a full time job yet so my schedule is pretty much wide open for any and every listing. I am ready to meet your babies! I spend time with animals outside the home just to make sure they don’t feel trapped in the home. I think dogs mainly could use fresh air and be allowed to run and walk around freely while in the home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to watch after their furry loved ones. I have my own dog who we adopted from our local rescue shelter. I am a college student with a very flexible schedule. I also have reliable transportation which allows me to travel to you and your pet(s). I can only care for pets in the clients home since I currently live in on campus housing which does not allow for non service or approved animals.
About: Hi there! I’m a friendly, bubbly dog lover serving the Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth areas. Whether I’m caring for a tiny puppy, a gentle senior, or a big goofy breed with lots of personality, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Dogs bring so much joy into my life, and I love giving that same joy right back through reliable, attentive care. I am in the military, but my schedule is really flexible and im off every weekends, I go to work at 08am on weekdays so I have time to take the dogs out before work and at 2pm when I get back. I take safety seriously. I monitor all dogs closely, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure every walk, visit, or stay is secure and stress‑free. I’m comfortable with leashes, crates, feeding routines, and managing multiple dogs at once.
“Emma is so great with our cats, we love having her hang out with them while we’re away. She’s communicative and attentive; we feel comfortable knowing our cats are in great hands when we’re out of town. Thanks again, Emma!”
About: Hello! I've had dogs all my life and worked as part of a rescue group for part of that time. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I can take them for walks, give them lots of attention and if they take any medication, I have experience with that as well. I'm good with any size dog since I've had a lot of different ones from Cocker Spaniels to Irish Wolfhounds. I don't have any "official" recommendations but I have pet sitted for friends of my family a time or two. I'm also good with multiple dogs, having grown up around 6-12 in my house at any given time, along with multiple cats. I would love to be able to pet sit for you! I currently work from home, so I am able to be flexible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members, rain or shine! I can do doggy daycare in my house if your furry friend gets along with mine, but also more than happy to take care of your pets in your home, whether taking them out for a walk, feeding them, or letting them out into the yard.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my dedication to personalized, attentive care. As a dog mom to two pups, I know how essential it is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I’m a student, I’m able to offer constant companionship and a predictable routine. I tailor every visit to match your pet’s unique personality and needs, giving them the same affection and attention they get from you. Being a student means plenty of flexible time for your furry friends! My peak availability starts at 3:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m wide open all day on weekends. I'm ready to onboard and meet your pets whenever you are. Staying active through dog walking and playtime is my favorite part of the job! Please share any special considerations or instructions so I can tailor my care to your pet's routine. I'm available for an in-person meeting prior to booking if you'd like to chat first. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and abilities. I have six cats of my own and also care for a feral cat colony, which has taught me a lot about patience, trust, and meeting animals where they are. I also help care for my family’s dogs, including a very happy three-legged mutt who reminds me every day that a disability doesn’t get in the way of a wonderful life! I’m comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections. I also practice cooperative care, helping animals feel safe and comfortable during medication and handling rather than making those experiences scary. I believe building trust and respecting an animal’s boundaries can make a huge difference in their well-being. When pet parents are away, I love doing more than just the basics. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, learning their personalities, and planning enrichment activities that keep them mentally stimulated, engaged, and happy. Whether that means playtime, sniffing games, puzzle feeders, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also love learning all the little things that make your pets feel at home! Tell me their favorite treats, toys, hiding spots, sleeping spaces, blankets, routines, and quirky habits. The more I know about what makes them comfortable and happy, the better I can recreate the familiar comforts of home while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel like you’ve just stepped out for coffee rather than gone on vacation! I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, enriched, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time apart knowing they’re in good hands! I currently work a desk job but can visit your pet in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I unwind by spending time with animals, so being with your pet will probably be my favorite part of my day. It will not just be another item on my to do list. At home I live on a 1/3 of acer with a fenced in yard. Inside I have a 6 cats with lots of cat trees and space for cats to go up and get a good view of the world. We also have separate rooms for cats (or small dogs) to have their own space if they get overwhelmed or want their own space
“Kay truly goes above and beyond. She’s great at communicating and always keeps me in the loop, which gives me so much peace of mind. Even when I forget something last minute, she’s more than happy to help without any stress. I always know my kitties are well taken care of, fed on time, and have fresh water. I never worry when they’re with her.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was very young. My family has always loved animals and we have always loved dogs and cats. We currently have 5 of our own dogs; german shepherd, mastiff, bloodhound, pit/chow mix, and a boston terrier. We also have two cats, one of which has special needs as she is blind in one eye and her leg was injured as a kitten before I took her in. I have experience in training as well as my uncle is a professional dog trainer in the LA area. He has taught me how to train my dogs as well as had me help him when I go visit him. I absolutely love animals and have worked with so many different breeds and sizes and love them all:) I currently work from home, but have a lot of free time on my hands and am looking for work to do in my spare time. I prefer to care for pets in their home as it is an environment they are already familiar and comfortable in. I love playing with all pets so you can be sure they will receive plenty of enrichment. Depending on the owners' wishes, I am more than willing to take pets on walks as well. I also keep a pretty strict feeding schedule for my own pets, so I can fulfill any strict schedules that your pet may have:)
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life from family pets to working at a pet hospital. I feel as our pets are our babies, they are not just animals. The way you care/treat a pet they will forever remember it. I have two fur babies that are my girls !! I rescued them back in 2025 from a hoarding situation. I’m available 7 days a week, from 6 AM to midnight, with a flexible schedule to fit your needs! Whether it’s morning walks, drop-in visits, or evening care, I’m happy to help. Your fur babies will receive the same love, patience, and attention I give my own girls! I live in an apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air. There’s also a lovely walking trail where I enjoy taking my two girls on daily walks.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ardwick
Bryanna was wonderful with our furry crew! She took such great care of everyone and even our shyest kitties opened up to her! I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for conscientious and loving care for your pets. She was timely and communicated well with us the entire time.
I highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker. I have known Latoya for about four years because she lives in my community, and I have seen firsthand how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I often see her walking her own dog, Chosen, throughout the community. Chosen is always friendly, well behaved, and clearly very well cared for, which made me feel completely comfortable trusting Latoya with my two dogs. Since hiring Latoya through Rover, she has done an excellent job. She communicates with me before arriving and again after she leaves, keeps me updated, and sends photos through the Rover app so I can see how my dogs are doing. That level of communication gives me great peace of mind when I am away from home. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her. They are comfortable and happy around her, and it is obvious that Latoya treats them with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She is reliable, responsible, professional, and someone I completely trust in my home and with my dogs. When you trust someone with your pets, you want to know they are being cared for by someone who will treat them like their own, and that is exactly what Latoya does. I feel fortunate to have someone I know and trust taking care of my dogs. I would highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for dog walking or pet care services through Rover. She has earned my trust, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.
Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters 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 sitter.
