About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my seven -year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home the majority of the time to care for your pet. I work from home three out of five days a week, and I am available on weekends. I am in the office two days per week, However, I drive home on my lunch hour to care for our new friends. I will provide your pet with a quiet, safe environment. If you are boarding your pet with me, I will ensure they receive care tailored to their unique needs and personality

About: Are you looking for someone to take your dog on walks while you’re away? I’m your girl! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have a lot of free time and would love to help take care of your dog. I’m currently working part time and a stay at home mom, so I’m able to pickup shifts easily to help take care of your pets! Please let me know if you’re looking for someone dependable and available! In the clients home, I care for pets the same way I’d care for them if they were my own- with love and attention. The owners knows best as well, so I love a detailed list of instructions when caring for a pet the first time.

“Our little Cavapoo loved having Julia stop by to take her for a walk and have some playtime. Julia was very punctual, she took note of all of our instructions, and provided excellent care for our girl. She sent us a great update after the walk with detailed info on the visit and some great pictures of our happy dog. I know our pup is going to look forward to Julia’s next visit!”

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and have owned my own large breed for 8 years. I love spending my free time with animals! I am in school right now, and perform music on the weekends. It's difficult to fit a traditional 9-5 in my schedule, so I love that I'm able to make ends meet while doing what I love, spending time with animals❤️ I am strong, and accustomed to walking big dogs. I'm familiar with keeping a calm composure, and understand that all animals need time to earn trust. Everyone's fur baby is safe with me, and will be treated as my own!💛

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m Amina — a lifelong dog lover and very proud dog mom :) I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting for friends, family, and people I know since I was 16. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing nonstop, lounging on the couch, or getting ALL the cuddles, I’m happy to match their personality and routine. I also have a 2-year-old Shih Tzu-Bichon named Jack who is super friendly, playful, and always excited to make a new furry friend! He loves having a buddy around just as much as I do. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-racking, so my goal is to make both you AND your pup feel completely comfortable. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of photo updates while you’re away! 📸 Your pup won’t just be “watched” — they’ll be treated like part of the family! 🐾 I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets! My schedule is very open, which means I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, playtime, and lots of extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get all the love and care they’re used to while you’re away. I live in a townhome-style condo with my super friendly 2-year-old Shih Tzu-Bichon, Jack! While I don’t have a private fenced yard, there is plenty of grassy yard space around my home for potty breaks and outdoor time, plus a dog park within walking distance for pups who enjoy it. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, crate time, medications, or any special instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home.

About: I have Two dogs of my own (shared custody) and have had dogs my entire life. As of the past few years I have house and pet sat for my friends, coworkers and family and have really enjoyed it! I work 10 minutes from my home, so going back and forth isn’t an issue so I’m able to do frequent potty breaks and walks throughout the day. There are plenty of walking areas around me that are safe and accessible as well as a park right down the street. My apartment is very large and very pet friendly!

About: I've been caring for friends' and family's pets since high school, and I truly love every kind of animal. Whether it's a tiny pup or a giant breed, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies who need to burn off energy to seniors who need a slower pace and extra patience. Pets aren't just animals to me. They're family, and I treat them like my own. I'm back and taking new clients! I work part-time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible for dog walks and drop-in visits during mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether you need a regular midday walk or a few check-ins while you're out, I can be consistent and reliable so your pet's routine stays on track. All my visits happen at your home, so your pet stays comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your instructions exactly, from feeding schedules and medications to potty breaks and walking routes. I always double-check that doors and gates are locked before I leave, and I'll send photo updates after every visit so you know your pet is safe and happy. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert around other dogs, traffic, and wildlife.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Ballards Corners. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ballards Corners 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 , 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

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 .

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.
