About: Hey I'm Lauren 37yrs old. I love looking after animals in my spare time. I have had dogs and cats all my life, I have experience with giving medicine and shots. I have a 10yr old American Pit Bull Terrier named Gunner. And we rescued a female Lab/ Pit mix, we named Mocha. I like to think of them as fur babies. I have a 2 sons too. We also have Luna my 13yrs old Tabby cat but like a typical cat she keeps to herself. I could play fetch all day and cuddle if I could. Treat time is my favorite! Let me help out your family. I work a 8-5 job weekdays but would love being around pups & kittys more. With most of my weekday visits won’t be until after 5. In my home I let my dogs on there dog beds, and one of them cuddles up to my husband. We feed them twice a day, same with our cat.
About: I’m a former veterinary assistant with nearly 3 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of many ages and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and support. I’m comfortable giving medications, watching for any signs of illness, and helping pets feel calm and safe in new situations. I truly enjoy building trust with each pet and keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the week. I’m typically available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, with more open availability on weekends. I make sure to keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so each pet gets consistent care, attention, and timely visits. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their usual routines and any specific instructions closely. In clients’ homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets feel secure and cared for. I keep a clean, calm environment, monitor pets closely during walks or visits, and provide updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Amber took such great care of my THREE! doggos. She handled them all well and was able to manage the somewhat hectic walking and notes and harnesses, etc. 😀. I got updates and pics and would definitely have her walk my pups again! They can be a handful, and she managed them with no issues. Thank you, Amber!”
About: I know how much you love your pet and how hard it is to leave him/her with someone you trust. I’m the same way. I decided to join Rover when I had to leave my pup, and my family wasn't available to care for her. I found someone who ended up being a lifesaver, and I wanted to help in the same way. I have cared for dogs from puppies to older pups, and love each stage. I can also help with any special needs your furbaby might have. I have watched family, friends, & neighbors' pups for ages and volunteered at the Roger's Humane Society for years. Hi! My name is Rebecca. Two things about me make me a great pet sitter: 1) I love pets & 2) I'm home all day. I want your pet to feel right at home. I am fortunate to work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to adhere to your routine – whether that's set mealtimes or going for walks at a certain time each day – as well as plenty of time for lots of love and cuddles. I have a large home with a huge fenced-in yard and a Golden who loves to play. She's one of the reasons I joined. She's happiest when she has fur friends over and has never met a pup she doesn't like. Our home has a doggy door that leads into our large fenced-in yard, allowing your pup to go to the bathroom, go out and play, lie outside, and even sunbathe on the deck. It's completely up to them, and they can enjoy being outside whenever they want. I am happy to text and/or email with you as much as you would like, with lots of photos & videos – giving you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is not only safe, but they're having just as wonderful a time as you are.

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 Avoca. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
