“David is a tower of respect for my energetic dogs. They took to him at first meeting and saw him as a leader. I like David’s and friendliness and warmth. He is a pleasure to have come to my home.”
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.
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.
About: My combined experience from growing up with pets as well as pet sitting for others, makes me comfortable and reliable when it comes to caring for them and satisfying their needs. I have strong sense of responsibility and the ability to follow instructions, while providing loving care for your pets. I do have a part time job, so my schedule/availability will change from week to week as I don't get my schedule for the job until the week of. If I stay overnight at a house, I make sure to be on high alert to listen and interpret what I think the animal needs. I also make sure to be respectful of the household's boundaries and rules as well as taking responsibility of the safety (locking doors and etc.) of the house.

We would follow your instructions and keep an eye on them but also having fun and lots of cuddles.
“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: Ever since I can remember I have always been around and loved animals. I have grown up with animals my entire life including dogs, cats, a bunny, and hamsters. In addition to taking care of my pets at home, I’ve started caring for others’ pets over the last few years. I have experience with dogs (large and small), cats, bunnies, and horses/farm animals of all ages. I have volunteered at the local Humane Society and no-kill shelter. I currently do not work and am going to school part-time online pursuing psychology. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to love and care for your pet! I treat your pets with the love and care that I treat my pets at home with! The safety, the well-being, and the comfort of your animal(s) is my top priority!

About: A lifetime of loving puppies of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike. I’m a master of belly rubs and daily walks! I’m currently available for house sitting, check ins, walks & Belly Rubs. I work from home with some part time work once in a while. I love having furry friends to spend time with.

About: Hey there Rover. My pet-sitting journey started with caring for friends' and family's animals before joining Rover. After taking a break to raise my own little ones, I'm excited to be back! I look forward to keeping your furry family members safe, happy, and well cared for! I have a daytime job Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so pets in my care should be comfortable during those hours. Outside of work, I'm available for walks, playtime, drop-in visits, and plenty of attention. To provide the best care and flexibility, I only accept Rover bookings during the weeks my children are with their dad. This allows me to fully focus on your pets and their routines while you're away. I can not board pets as my partners German Shepherd is territorial! But, basically I try to keep the same house rules as the owner.
About: Expert in ear scratches for critters big and small. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love to run, if you’re looking to get exercise for your pup. I also have experience with senior animals that just want to snuggle. I’m available every weekend and work part time during the week. I can work walks or runs in with your pet during the week the week as well. I’d love to check on your pet in the comfort of their home, where all their favorite toys and treats are. I’m looking forward to scheduling!
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs over the past 10 years. Friends, family and friends of clients have trusted me to feed, walk and entertain their pets and homes for weekends and weeks at a time. I genuinely enjoy animals and show them nothing but love and respect. I currently am working part time and have plenty of time to cater to your fur babies needs. I can ensure they are taken outside as needed, play and spend time with them so they aren't so lonely while you're away. I am very clean and respectful of peoples homes and I am ready to meet any and all animals! I prefer to only dog sit at the clients home because I do not have the space to at my own. I visit homes to care for animals and that is it. Meaning, I will not enter spaces that do not pertain to the animal I am looking after. I do this to ensure your privacy. I always lock up as I come and go to ensure the security of your home and most importantly, I will treat your animals as my own!

I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely

“Louise is obviously a dog person. I appreciated having a meet and greet before hand. My pup felt immediately comfortable with her and so did I. Louise showed up when she said she would, took time for walks and play and my pup and home were in great shape when i got home. I will definitely use her again when in area.”

Mallory checked in on my senior pup and super senior kitten and made fast friends. She was reliable, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout her care. She taught me a few tricks to increase comfort levels for my pets, which I greatly appreciate. Thank you, Mallory. Hope to work with you again!

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 Barker 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 Barker 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barker Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
