Jenn walked my dog a couple of times while I was out of town. She showed up when requested and actually made my lazy dog walk with her. She did a great job and I look forward to having her walk my dog again.

Karen is great! I can tell my pup is much more comfortable when I get home because she gets energy out of him on their walk! Also very flexible!

About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

I had an excellent experience with Amber meeting my dog for the first time. I loved receiving all of the thoughtful updates throughout out our booking - it was such a relief knowing that my dog was being looked after with such care. Amber is patient and attentive - she really went above and beyond with being sensitive of my dogs needs, especially when it comes to meeting new people. I'm looking forward to booking Amber again in the future.

About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’ve always been an animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats myself (who I’m totally obsessed with), so I understand how important it is to leave your pets in good hands. Whether I’m going for a walk with your pup or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things—every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Caring for cats is a daily routine for me, as I’m the proud owner of two feline companions. I delight in pampering them with treats and expressing my affection through play whenever there are toys at hand. I have two cats of my own who love being in my company, and I’ve frequently cared for my friends’ pets when they’re away. They affectionately refer to me as their pets’ honorary aunt.

About: Growing up in a home with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when caring for pets. I’m very comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just helping them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I know every dog is different, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up in a home with multiple cats and dogs. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Because I’ve always been around animals, caring for them feels like a normal and easy part of my everyday life. I’m used to living in a multi-pet household, so I pay attention to different needs at the same time. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully by making sure they’re fed on time, getting the exercise and attention they need, and making sure they always have a clean, safe space. I also focus on being calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s comfort level.

About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $20! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.

About: Hi, my name is Margaret and I would love to take care of your furry friend! I grew up with dogs and cats of all different sizes. I have years of experience with a variety of dogs and their unique personalities. I am a teacher, so my schedule allows me to give a lot of attention to your dog, especially on the weekends and during the summer break. My husband and I own a house in Murray Hill. Our house has a fenced in backyard. There is also a park just a block from our house that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. We have a labradoodle, Olive, who loves playing with other doggos. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat, Lola, that tolerates being around dogs, as most cats do. I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule is fairly flexible during the school year. Evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers offer me plenty of time to check in and be with your furry friends! I have a playful labradoodle that will keep your pup busy and entertained as well as a dog door to a fenced in backyard that keeps them safe and allows for all the potty breaks. The dog door can be closed off if needed.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injections for diabetes, and pride myself on providing dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and routine. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins anytime between 9am and 7pm daily, making it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention for your pets. This is especially perfect for pet owners who work during the day and want peace of mind knowing their pet is getting care, companionship, and attention while they’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any specific preferences or routines their pet is used to. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to accommodate special requests to help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I also make sure to provide plenty of attention, affection, updates, and dependable care so pet owners can have peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of many different types of dogs since I started dogsitting at a young age. I have had the opportunity to dogsit french bulldogs, labradors, golden retrievers, doodles of all kinds, and beagles! I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of your furry family members and help you out!! I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to leave and take walks when needed. I also wake up early in the morning so I am happy to take your pups on their morning walk if need be! I like starting my morning early anyways, so it's a plus if I get to add a furry friend to it as well!! I am an attentive caretaker due to my work-from-home job. It allows me the flexibility to drop in on your pets, take them for walks to the park and give them a lot of love.

Vizslas are notoriously aloof and skeptical with new people. Moose is also currently in his angsty tween stage. We had a few previous meetings and greets where he decided he wasn’t a good match with the prospective dog walkers. Jordan arrived on time dressed both professionally and appropriately for a first meeting and walk with a high energy dog. She took the time to introduce herself, meet and bond with Moose, and was very easy to get along with and knowledgeable about not only working dogs but also the Rover program itself. She immediately put both myself and moose at ease. She spent time in the back yard playing fetch with him (he tends to make you feel like you’re an automatic tennis ball thrower) and then took him for a nice walk. She quickly learned his hand signals and Dutch and English voice commands. He was very disappointed to see his new friend go and is looking forward to his next adventure with her- as he has been missing his daily runs with me and now has a new awesome exercise buddy! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!

I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Avondale.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.
