“Bradley is a gem! He accepted my request at the last minute after two other walkers cancelled. Juliet loves him. She comes home tired and happy. He even managed to get my other dog out the door for a potty (Owen is a mama's boy and only goes out for me). Super pleased and very grateful for the professionalism.”

“Joshua was incredible with our pup ! We had a very busy week & had to rely on Joshua to ensure our dog had some stability while we weren’t able to. We felt comfortable with Joshua entering the house with no one home & taking good care of our pup including feeding her after their walk. Thank you Joshua !”

About: I’ve been the designated pet babysitter for my extended family for years. I often house sit or drop-in visit and have taken care of dogs at all life stages, from rowdy puppies to seniors with a laundry list of pills to take. I’ve got free time in my schedule so I am open to watching weekends and most weekdays. I am open to watching them for a long weekend so you can get away knowing your furry friends are taken care of! The most important part of watching pets in the home is keeping to their established routine. I’ve found that dogs are always more comfortable when disruption is kept to a minimum.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and more. My husband and I currently have 6 cats and 2 dogs so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. ❤️ Safety is always my #1 priority. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, body language, and individual needs. Whether your pet is outgoing and wants to be my best friend immediately or needs a little extra time and patience to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I also know firsthand just how particular animals can be! If your pet will only eat in a certain room, needs their food prepared a specific way, prefers you to stand nearby while they eat, has a special feeding routine, or has any other little quirks I completely understand. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a Corgi if that helps confirm anything 😂 I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, treats, walks, potty routines, medications, crates, sleeping arrangements, playtime, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. No detail is “too much” when it comes to your animals, you know them best, and I want to care for them the way you would. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave home without worrying about whether your pets are safe, comfortable, and being loved. I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want someone to give my own. And yes, I’m absolutely the type of sitter who will happily send you plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! 🤍 My schedule is pretty flexible! My husband and I work from home so I have extra free time during the week and most weekends. I can work with your schedule. I am able to provide care inside and outside of my home. One of my dogs is reactive on walks however he is best friends with our other dog who is much smaller. He would be perfectly fine with a smaller dog in our house but I am not comfortable bringing a bigger dog into his space. We have a pretty decent size, fenced in back yard for them to run around.
“Once again Karla has come to our rescue. I needed nightly walks for a week. She braved some of the coldest days and walked them every evening to my doggies delight to see their favorite sitter. Much appreciated!”

About: 30 + years experience with dogs. I've owned or cared for other people's dogs since childhood. I have a large fenced in backyard for your pup to play! I love dogs and want to spoil and snuggle yours because I currently do not have a dog.

I would treat them like a child of mine I wake up Every day and take care of my baby outside of that I don’t have any hobbies besides taking care of my dog as well, so taking care of your animal will ensure I’m on my feet and happy I make sure water is ensured at all times, when they have to use the bathroom the backyard is always assessable for bathroom time and they are walked and played with whenever need be

About: I have about 2 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have provided dog-sitting and currently cat-sit, as well as offer drop-in visits to feed pets, let dogs out, provide companionship, and follow any specific instructions from their owners. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for a cat who has been staying with me, and Monday through Friday I care for two of my neighbors’ dogs by letting them out, feeding and watering them, and spending time playing with them. I enjoy caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. In my home, I care for our dogs and cats by feeding and watering them, grooming and bathing them, playing with them, and working on basic training. I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions and routines to make sure their pets receive the same level of care and attention they are used to.
“Aaron and Bethany were great. I naturally worried because I’ve never had to leave them before with someone I didn’t know but I worried for nothing. I would definitely choose them again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, including family pets and those of friends, for the last 10 years. I now have two pups of my own! :) Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, administer medication to, and otherwise care for their dogs for many years. I love spending time with all the fluffy friends! I work from home and am generally flexible with my schedule! Just let me know, and we can find something that works for all of us. I have a fenced yard and my friendly own dogs can keep your fur babies company. We can also separate them completely if you prefer. We have two sides of the house with separate entrances to the backyard.
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and animal lover my entire life, caring for both dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for multiple pets, including those adopted, rescued, or entrusted to me by others. At one point, I lovingly managed a household of five pets, ensuring each received attentive, compassionate care. My experience also includes caring for a beloved dog left to me by a close friend, honoring his wish that I provide a safe and loving home. Today, I continue that same level of care by helping my son and his wife with their dogs whenever they travel—my “granddogs,” who I adore. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and genuine affection when it comes to pet care. I am now excited to extend that care to others in my community, offering reliable, attentive support for pet owners who need assistance while traveling or during busy workdays. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your pets—they will be treated like family. I'm currently retired I retired from the federal government working for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters after 33 years of service. I've been enjoying travel and visiting with family and friends and when I'm home I thought I could do some things that I enjoy and help other people that may need or want to travel or just need help with their fur babies 🐕🐾🐈⬛️🐈 I currently do this for my son and his wife when they want to travel the world or have business trips with my granddogs 👑🐾😆🐕 For clients that need assistance with pet sitting, I usually love to have an outline of what you prefer so that I can honor the type care that you also provide your pets. I follow an outline when I care for my family's pets when they travel and they provide the list of the vitamins or any quarks or anything that I need to know a timeline and I just try to honor whoever needs care by how they would like the care handled while they are away. The main thing is that I don't want anybody to worry when I'm caring for their pets. You should be able to travel and handle business trips or vacations without worrying if you're not able to take your pet with you that they're safe and well cared for. I also like to make notes daily,if I'm giving vitamins or supplements or anything occurs I want to share. I like to keep track of it and leave that sheet for you when you return.
About: I’m a 23-year-old registered pediatric nurse with a lifelong love for animals! Becoming a veterinarian was actually my second career choice because of how much I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes. My family had Boxers and Pit Bulls throughout my childhood, and we also rescued several different breeds as I got older. I’ve cared for my own childhood dogs, as well as family and friends’ dogs, since I was a teenager. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. We recently lost our beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu-Bichon mix, who was a very special part of our family. Caring for him throughout his senior years taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, gentle care, and understanding that older dogs may have different routines and needs. My husband and I currently have a one-year-old Pit Bull whom we rescued from the SPCA when he was just two months old. Caring for him has given me even more experience with puppies, high energy dogs, training, patience, and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. As a pediatric nurse, I’m naturally patient, attentive, responsible, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I understand how important it is to treat every pet as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and care, I would love the opportunity to treat them like family while you’re away. I work three days a week, including every Saturday and Sunday, with my third workday varying. My schedule gives me plenty of time on my days off to dedicate to caring for pets. I’ll consistently update my Rover calendar so my availability is accurate. I am married so my household consists of my husband and I and our 1 year old pit bull. However, I will be handling all of the care involving your pet when you book with me ! My priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, follow their care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. For stays in my home, I’ll also make sure your pet and my dog are a good fit and are introduced safely.

“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”

Most of my life I’ve taken care of friends and families pets, so I’m more than accustomed to giving them the love and attention they deserve.

I can follow directions clear and to the letter, and know every pet has their own rituals and fine print. Just let me know ow what needs done, and it’ll happen.

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

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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
