“This is my first time hiring Leslie. It’s impressive that she followed all my instructions and requests. And all my dogs were so happy to see her. I will definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to all the pet owners.”
“We were gone for the weekend and Mallory was wonderful with our 2 pups! They are usually crazy and destructive when we leave but they loved Mallory and behaved so well! Would highly recommend for pup sitting and walking.”
About: I have owned several dogs (I don't at the moment, but I can't wait to get a furry friends when my living situation permits!), from when I was a child up until a short time ago. I have several years experience working in kennels, as well as dog walking, sitting and boarding for friends, family and foster dogs, respectively. I also have volunteer experience at local shelters, including Pet Pals in St. Petersburg. Your dog is in safe hands!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others. Experienced with small to large breeds dogs with elder care experience including walking/standing restrictions, special diet needs, and medication distribution. I'm currently studying online courses and can be available most hours and days for pet care with little restrictions. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, treating them as if they were my own. My main goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize anxiety while you are away. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and exercise guidelines, and I provide photo updates after each visit for your total peace of mind.
“I am so glad we found Ashlee. She arrived on time and immediately connected in a lovely way with my pup, Murphy. I was able to accomplish my errands with my mind completely at ease. Ashlee is kind friendly capable and experienced. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have grown up around dogs, trained and taken care of them myself. We have two dogs at home, one is a tripaw. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs as well. I love all dogs as much as I love my own. I have experience with larger dogs, senior dogs, puppies and tripaws. I currently have a flexible job and make my own schedule so I am available during the week to walk or hike with your pup! I love walking and hiking with my pups! I can walk your dog from your home or take him/her to a park or hike near by.
“Ryan has been such a consistent and reliable dog walker for our puppies over the last few years. She knows dogs well and often gives us advice when we have questions regarding the health, behavior, or overall well-being of our animals. We literally could not have survived without her! Ryan is also available often times even last minute which is super helpful given our busy and forever changing schedules.”
“Amazing! I reached out and they had time to take a booking right away! Great job with our two 70lb dogs on an hour long walk. So thoughtful with leaving us homemade dog treats too. Thank you Michelle and Dale!”
“Jennie was wonderful with my elderly, blind dog Rand. They had a great walk, she's very patient with him as he moves really slow. She sent pictures and stayed at least the full half hour. I will certainly re book!”
“Krista took my dog Brody on many walks. It was so nice to know he was being well taken care of while I'm at work. She is an excellent communicator and sent pictures each time she walked my boy. Will absolutely book again!”
About: I have pet sat for friends, family and co workers over the years in addition to always having two of my own cats. I treat all pets as I would want someone to treat mine! 🥰 I am a reservist in the Coast Guard. I only work one weekend a month and am trying to find more work with things I am passionate about. To me, nothing is better than hanging out with furry friends! I have a small fenced in patio and a three bedroom home. I live close to a park and love to go walking! Again, I always treat other people’s pets how I would care for my own.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I provide personalized, attentive care and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my day around my clients’ needs and give each pet the individual attention and care they deserve. I’m organized about keeping feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications on schedule, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I also enjoy keeping pet parents updated so they know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I provide in-home pet care by following each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their needed potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention, and receive medications when needed. I’m respectful of the owner’s home and keep things clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos during my visits so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away.
“Denisse was so thorough! She even went the extra mile after walking our Miller and taking him to potty to pick up after him. We appreciate you so much for helping with our Miller man and for the extra pictures of him ?”
“Thanks, Savannah! She took our doggie on walks while we were away on our trip. Coco connected with her right away the very first time they met, so we knew she was going to be in good hands. We really appreciated knowing Coco was cared for and loved while we were away! ❤️”
“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!

After I broke my ankle, I desperately needed help with my big, sometimes leash reactive pup. I had never let anyone but my sister walk him until now and Denisse has been amazing! She listens and is attentive to his needs and quirks and takes the time necessary to ensure his safety and my comfort level! Even my neighbors have commented on how good she is with my boy. I highly recommend her!
Mallory was awesome. I needed her to walk my two dogs for a couple of weeks while I could not do it myself and I think I looked forward to seeing her each day as much as the dogs did! She had several disruptive events in her life during our booking and she still managed to arrange her schedule to get here and do the walks. She is an excellent communicator and kept me well informed about her arrival times, the dogs behavior, and any thing that seemed out of the ordinary. I look forward to the next opportunity I .may have to use her services. Highly recommended.
Kayla was wonderful! I’d never left my girl home alone while I was on an overnight trip but Kayla took all that anxiety away. She was so communicative and even shared pictures/report cards for each walk. She was even sweet enough to sit with Winter for a while so that she could get more comfortable with her. Thank you so much for taking good care of Winter!

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 Balfour. 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 Meet & Greet .

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.
