About: I’ve been around dogs for years and I’m very comfortable caring for them. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company. I’m patient with different dog personalities and I’ll always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I can work around your dog’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I keep doors and gates secure, pay attention to their behavior, and make sure they have food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention.

About: I’ve been a loving dog mom for the past 20 years. I’ve loved and cared for Mochi, our 19 yr old Shih Tzu who recently passed away. I’ve devoted myself to making sure Mochi lived a long and happy life, which he did! Now, with no pets and more free time on my hands, I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m currently retired and spend most of my time with my grandson. I would love to fit dog boarding into my flexible schedule as I am home a lot of the times. I spend most days with my 4 year old grandson, so the house is very much baby proofed. Dogs are like our children! I’m very mindful about keeping anything toxic or with chemicals on high shelves, toilet seat covers down, and trash bins covered.

“I booked Beverly for consecutive walks with my dog while I’m away at work and I am so glad I did! It was very apparent that Beverly was very knowledgeable with working with dogs. Beverly communicates really well before, during, and even after the walks! It really gave me peace of mind to know that my dog was in amazing hands! Would without a doubt re-book with Beverly again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised 5 dogs of my own—Money, Little Bro, Sugar, Latte, and my beloved senior pup Bear Bear, who was with us until the age of 18. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, including overnight stays in my home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I also love capturing sweet, candid moments and sharing photos with pet parents so they can see how their pups are doing while they’re away. I recently stepped away from my full-time career and am enjoying having more flexibility in my schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need. I’m generally available throughout the week and can work with your dog’s routine and schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and each dog’s individual routine and needs. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully and treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and know your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now. It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. It’s amazing how much love and loyalty they show. 1. Feeding: • Once or twice a day depending on the animal and vet recommendations. 2. Fresh Water: • Change water at least once daily. 3. Exercise/Playtime: • Dogs need walks (15–30minutes depending on breed). 4. Grooming (as needed): • Brushing, checking for ticks/fleas, especially for long-haired animals. 5. Clean-ups: • Scoop litter boxes, clean up after walks, or spot-clean cages. Routine Care Includes: • Feeding and Watering: According to the pet’s normal schedule. • Exercise & Play: Walks for dogs, play sessions for cats or small animals. • Medication Administration: If required — pills, drops, or injections (if trained). • Litter Box or Yard Clean-Up: Scooping, changing litter, picking up after walks. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, light tidying up, alternating lights or blinds to make the home look lived in.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the type of person who treats them like family. I currently have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Copper (7) and Oso (3), so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and stimulation. I’m an active person and genuinely enjoy being outside, so I’d love to take your dog on walks, hikes, or even runs if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable with puppies and can help with things like potty training and reinforcing basic training while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat Copper and Oso. I’d love to meet your fur babies! I attend school every other day and try to do homework over the weekends, so I’d be available All day Monday and Wednesday and Friday mornings! I have had dogs all my life and will always be sure that the pets I am trusted with are always safe and in good hands!

I live with my fiancé (also another fellow animal lover), along with our two dogs and one cat, so your pets will always have company and never feel alone.

About: I've worked with all types of dogs from helping to train them for obedience to being a K9 Decoy for bite work. I don't mind walking any sized dog or any age for that matter. I also have experience and knowledge on what to look for when it comes to K9 health specially during the summertime and this heat. I work from home for the most part and my schedule does vary week to week but with proper communication and timing I can take the doggos out for a walk without any issues. My retired bomb dog and my active four paw work partner are both crated but their doors are open and have their beds in them. They have a room with AC and are never alone at home. They have individual water buckets and food trays. They go on daily walks with me when the weather is nice and cool to prevent overheating during summer times. Plenty or moving all day and lots of play time with me and each other on the weekends. They also enjoy their training time with some of the K9 Clubs I attend.

About: I didn’t realize how much I love dogs until my best friend adopted a Pit Collie puppy in Texas. Ever since then, I’ve paid more attention to dogs on my runs, watched so many dog training videos, and frequently visit the animal shelter to give the dogs and cats there some TLC. I’d get a dog or cat of my own, but I’m still testing the waters to see what breed is best fit for me. I’d love to help you take care of your lovely dog. No dog is too rough or shy for me, as I’ve trained myself to read them, communicate with them, and understand them by consuming far too many videos and articles. Let me walk, play with, and hang out with your dog when you’re busy! I’ll be a good leader for them!

About: Hi! My name is Rosa 🌹I’ve been dog sitting for several years. I had a dog child, her name was Blanca. She was the most sassy husky I had ever met. She enjoyed running and staying active so I learned to enjoy it too. She was the reason I got up many times. Unfortunately she passed away December 2025. She taught me many many things and I’ll forever miss her for the rest of my life. I know she’d want me to continue being in other pets life too. That is why I’m continuing to dog sit and hang out with different breeds. To continue sharing my love and care even if my Blanca isn’t with me anymore. I like to run, walk, hike, and even just stay at home and have lazy days. I adapt to their routine very quickly. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior babies. If you have anymore questions please reach out and I’d be happy to chat more. I have a flexible schedule during the week. For example, check-ins or dog walking, I like to get my steps in and nothing better than having a furry friend to accompany me! Respecting my clients homes is my priority. I want to make sure your fur child is comfortable, safe and most importantly happy. I like to discuss their routine first and make sure I follow it that way the fur baby’s routine does not change and confuse them.

About: Your dog’s home-away-from-home—where they feel safe and loved. I offer small-scale boarding (not a kennel). This is a great option for pet parents seeking a safer alternative to kennels. Training-informed, positive-reinforcement environment. Deep experience with rescue, reactive, separation anxiety and other special-needs dogs who require a calm home environment. Home atmosphere + constant human presence. My home is quiet with a front yard that feels like you're in a small forest. Good vibes all around. I'm truly an all-around dog lover, and I and have a passion for saving, fostering, and boarding if it means a happier life for a dog and his/her human. I've had a passion for caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I've rescued several dogs from a high-kill shelter and fostered them until we found a forever home. I currently work closely with a couple of dog rescues that help find fosters or adopters for high-energy dogs in overcrowded shelters, once they've gone through an evaluation stage and the necessary training. I have dog training knowledge, and I'm also trained in dog psychology. My goal is to work with service dogs and get them ready for their new human. I have experience working with extra large breeds as well as the cute, tiny ones. I also have experience with special need dogs who require medication, If you have a special needs dog, I have experience in: Oral medication administration Injected medication administration Senior dog experience Special needs dog experience I currently work part time from my home office and tend to my plants which allows me plenty of time to devote to your furry family member. I enjoy time at home, painting, reading, cooking, gardening, playing my congas or simply relaxing in front of the television.  I enjoy caring for pets as if they were my own, which means getting to know their personalities and what they like to do for fun. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. A possible daily routine: A morning walk or let them roam the yard (depends on the owners choice), followed by breakfast and some loving. Afternoon time consists of potty breaks and some play time in the yard or indoors and some afternoon treats for everyone before they nap. I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or just lounge. I don't have any pets (as I have been fostering) or children, and there's very little to nothing that your pet could get into. My house is secured and all the windowns and doors will remain secured while your pet is visiting. My yard has a five and a half foot fence and it's secured all the way around. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. If I'm pet sitting at your location, I will follow the list of do's and don't and will always treat your home with respect.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.

Edith makes dog walking look so easy and fun. Bubs gets so excited to see her when she picks him up. He can be skittish from an attack from another dog when he was a puppy and now that he’s a senior Edith is so patient with him and he’s doing great because of that!

Entrusting your dogs to the right person makes all the difference, and she is someone you can count on completely. She is kind, dependable, and has a genuine passion for caring for animals. Whether it’s routine walks, outdoor adventures, or plenty of playtime, she always makes sure the dogs are well exercised, entertained, and happy. One of her greatest qualities is the way she connects with dogs so naturally. She has a calm and reassuring presence that helps dogs feel comfortable right away. It’s clear that she truly enjoys being around animals and takes pride in making sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved. She is also incredibly professional and easy to work with. She communicates well, shows up when expected, and consistently brings a positive attitude. My dog is always excited to see her, and I feel completely confident knowing they are receiving excellent care and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a trustworthy and compassionate person who will care for their dogs as if they were her own.

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 Avocado Heights. 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 Avocado Heights 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.

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
