“Had a last-minute family emergency come up Jenna was very responsive and easy to talk to. I wasn’t able to meet her first but Rex was very well taken care of. She was very thoughtful about his food and water 100 out of 10 rating! She had great updates throughout the walk and throughout the day!”
About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.
About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers! All of my work is freelance work so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I book for walks or drop in visits! Safety is my number one priority! When doing drop in visits I make sure your pet is safe and happy! During walks I always use a good grip on the leash and make sure your pet is safe at all times!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16, and I've trained my own pup from just a few weeks old into a well behaved companion. I often house-sit and watch the animals of friends and family, because they trust me to take good care of their things, and this has given me experience with all different types of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I set my own work schedule and work from home when I want to, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’m also very active, walking or running around 5 miles a day, and love keeping the dogs active too! We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard, shared with our 1-year-old neutered pup, Bo! We can separate dogs if needed, and I love staying active with multiple walks and plenty of playtime throughout the day!
About: Growing up on a farm, I was taught to care for animals at a young age. From feeding, bathing, exercising, basic wound care, grooming, etc. I have experience with many types of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, snakes, birds, fish, hamsters, etc. I also work well with “hard to tame” pets. Animals with anxiety, trauma responses, or just bad attitudes are my forte. I have trained multiple dogs alongside support care animals. Let’s see what your furry friend can do! I make my own schedule. I own my own businesses that need little oversight. Let me know when I’m needed and I’ll do my best to make it work! I have a large yard, not yet fenced. Plenty of trees if you have you pup tie-out trained. I also have multiple sized crates, an outdoor pen, and a small fenced in run about area adjacent.
About: I have long term experience with all animals. I have owned horses, cats, and dogs. I can provide expectational care for your babies while you are away. You can enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are being treated as if they were my own. My work hours are conducive to making sure your pets are not alone for long periods of time. I am able to make sure all their needs are cared for. I live in a dog friendly community with plenty of room for safe walks and play though I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home. I have found that most animals respond better to the safety and smells of their house. I am a trustworthy person with a 100% clean background and can ensure that your pets and home are treated with the utmost respect.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I currently work as a full time veterinary technician at general practice animal hospital where I am pursuing my degree in veterinary technology. I also have previous experience working in veterinary vaccination clinics, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with animal handling, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, following detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have pets of my own, including a large dog and three cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide every pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, both at home and through my work as a veterinary technician. I fit bookings around my work schedule and confirm availability beforehand so each pet gets the time and attention they need. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and care, keep doors and gates secure, and respect your home. You can also expect updates and photos while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up with family pets and have had a handful of my own. Dogs are the way to my heart but I have experiences with cats and even farm animals too. I am fortunate to be in charge of my schedule and am somewhat flexible most days. I can come/go as needed for the most part in the Cool Springs area anytime during my work week hours (Tues- Sat 9-4) and of course anytime outside of that I can travel wherever needed. I have a large fenced in yard perfect for the pups to play. I have a young and playful mini wienie and an older laid back black lab (former service dog).
“Ashley has been a repeat walker for my foster Bull Terrier Ezequiel & she is so accommodating in every possible way. She even gives him fresh water & let’s him pee wherever he feels like marking his territory. That’s is a lot of compassion and patience. Thank you so much Ashley! You’re the BEST!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a sophomore in high school, graduated in 2019. I volunteered and then became a worker at a groomer near me. Loved my job, and have cared for many animals since. Currently do not have a job, so I have a free schedule and nothing but love to give to the fur babies, including cats of course. I am very respectful to others homes and belongings. I only want to care for the animals, very trustworthy. If staying at my home, I am sure to take them out every hour, hour in a half unless given specific details. They have their free roam, I also have a pretty decent sized screen in back porch that they can run around a little in.
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. I had a dog named gizmo who was a purebred collie for 13 year, who was my best friend. I understand taking the extra gentle care needed for dogs that are senior or have dementia. I like to talk animals and make them always feel safe. My dog that's currently still in Florida until time being with my mom, I used to sing too every day. I just moved from south Florida after 12 years. I have alot of down time currently. I do Uber and door dash for other side work. I am very flexible if you need me to do pop in visits during any hour, overnight stays etc. I understand the importance of having someone you can trust depend on while youre away from your fur babies. It can be a very stressful situation. I am good at communicating. I understand the importance of phone calls, texts, picture updates, and keeping you daily informed on your animal. I would follow through on your list of instructions and if I had any questions contact you, to make sure everything was done to ensure the highest quality care for your pet. I would treat your animals safety, happiness, well being like they are my own 😃
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when we adopted a stray that was pregnant. Throughout Sweetie’s pregnancy, birthing, and weening, and our raising of her puppy Zorro, my mom taught me all about dogs, since her dad used to breed pugs and cavalier King Charles spaniels. Before Sweetie came to us, I had been wanting another dog, as our previous golden retriever, Jasmine, had been stolen. So, my mom bought me several books on all the different dog breeds, so I could educate myself on what to expect and what I wanted when we got our next dog. I learned so much throughout this time, and have only continued my education and experience with dogs. I love dogs so much that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. Every dog I meet, no matter how old, will always be a puppy to me. I sometimes think that the closest we will ever get to experiencing a physical manifestation of the love of God, is the love dogs have for us. I’m self-employed and currently don’t have any pets, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog(s) routines! Noting and being aware of any specifications, such as meds, their usual routine/schedule, unique preferences, and any special requests the owner has made. Consistency is so important in maintaining mental health and stability for your pets!

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 Athendale. 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.
