“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
“I have ZERO concerns when Honey is in Cassandra’s care!! She is friendly, punctual, a great communicator & can tell she really loves her job and all of the animals! 10/10 would recommend, I’ll definitely be rebooking for Honey again in the future!”
“Dante is the best! He’s our go-to walker. He’s great with our dogs, gets to know them, and is great at what he does. Thankful for his reliability and flexibility too.”
About: I've had pets since I was 6, ranging from an older Jack Russel Terrier, shy/abused German Shepherd/Rottweiler, and now a hyper Pitbull! I accept the personalities of all animals I currently work a full-time job. I have flexible lunch breaks and can contribute to care within the 11-1 PM schedule. I am available after 3:30 PM until 8 PM every weekday if given 2-3 days notice. On weekends, if I am not traveling, I can be flexible. I am an early riser!!! So if you need a 6 AM walk, I am SUPER happy to oblige. I'm available to take dogs on walks, supervise play time in a fenced in area, or adjust to whatever exercise your dog may need. I'm happy to feed and water them and provide care specific to their needs.
“Amanda was great! She is always on time and makes our dogs care her priority. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog sitter or walker.”
“Cara is the BEST! My buddy Apollo is always happy to see her because he knows he’s going for his walk that he loves. Cara is always pleasant, great with Apollo and has concern for his welfare whether it’s too hot, if he can have a treat, or if he pooped haha! Cara rules!”
“Heather was wonderful!! She was super patient with Rue during the meet and greet and was willing to spend extra time with her as she warmed up ~ Rue is our anxious lil bean. Finding a trustworthy sitter can be challenging but Heather helped keep our minds at ease. She took lots of pictures and provided a prompt update after the visit. THANKS HEATHER!!!”
About: Through out my life I have owned two senior dogs who required extra love and attention. I have trained and worked with puppies as well. I am currently available weekdays at anytime throughout the day. I can do morning or evenings. I can not wait to play with your dogs! I have experience watching fur babies in clients homes. I can help in anyway that you need whether it’s medicine, walks, playtime, or nap time.
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and sizes. I understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and quirks, and I make it a priority to provide the same love, attention, and care they’re used to at home. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m dependable and attentive. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work as a nanny of elementary school aged children. So I have availability while they are at school on Tuesdays and Fridays between 11am-2pm. Weekends I am more flexible with any time frame! I’m attentive to your pet’s needs and routines and will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, and daily care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and strive to create an experience built on trust, communication, and lots of love!
About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.
About: Being a pet owner (of all types) most of my adult life has blessed me in ways I can't even put into words. I have looked after 8 week old puppies as well as cared for the elderly. It would be my honor to look after and care for your four-legged family members in the same way I would want my "kiddos" to be looked after. I will always put them first and I will ensure that they receive the same love and affection that they would receive from you during every visit/stay. I love to send my clients pictures during those days/nights that they are away, and give them that assurance that their pet is in good hands and is being well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Ariel and I'm here to take care of your pet. I have owned at least one dog my entire life. I also had cats so I am a dog and cat lover! One of my own dogs was diabetic so I have experience with insulin injections and administering medicine to animals. From taking care of my diabetic pet, I am very reliable and on time as I know some animals must stick to their schedule. While I have my own personal experience with pets, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter in Wilmington. There I have walked dogs, taken care of puppies, cared for cats and other animals (there was once a cute pig named Hamlet). I love working with and taking care of animals. I treat my dog like a member of the family and more specifically like my own baby. I'd love to care for your member of the family too! I'll treat them as if they were my own so you know your pet will be in safe and loving hands. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please feel free to ask!
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I love meeting new dogs and cats. When I am out at a park I always want to say hi as long as the owner is ok with saying hello. I am available daily for pet visits, walks and playtime. I am a full time pet sitter and available to fit your schedule or if you go on vacation. I will follow all instructions in and at your home. If you want a drop in visit I will be sure to play with them and give them lots of attention.

Thank you, Gavin. French Fry gave you two paws up. He's very responsible, very reliable, and very attuned to my dog's needs. It will definitely use him again, and I have actually recommended him to my mom for her dogYou will definitely use him again and I actually have recommended him to my mom for her dog.
Janelle is very friendly, patient, and helpful! My dog is usually nervous around people she doesnt know but she warmed right up to her immediately and enjoyed her walks. Communication was great and the overall experience was pleasant. I look forward to booking with Janelle again in the future(:
Joy is amazing! Joy signed on to take care of my mom’s dog during a recent illness. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met her. She is someone both people and pets feel totally comfortable around. Joy was communicative, flexible, responsive, kind, and completely reliable. And she clearly loves dogs! We feel lucky to have found our way to her and to have developed an ongoing caretaking relationship. Highly recommend!!

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 Barkley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
