“Nikki was our best rover booking yet!!! She came over three times this week for lunchtime walks. She was super attentive and even gave us some recommendations on how to keep him entertained. Nikki is very knowledgeable and caring, especially with little puppies. Would highly recommend booking her.”
“Ashton is absolutely wonderful! She is definitely a dog person - seen by all of the pictures she sends and the great summary of how things went. My dog Mabel is high energy and working on training - Ashton is knowledgeable about keeping things consistent for Mabel and asked great questions to make sure she had all information to care for Mabel. Will definitely continue to book!”
“Shaina is amazing as always! She is reliable and capable, I know Munch is getting the exercise and training that he needs while I'm away. Munch loves going for his walks with her!”
About: I grew up with cats but have rescued many cats and dogs over the years. I've rescued kittens, adults, and senior animals alike. I have loved many pets through old age, administer medicine, and loved them beyond their last breath. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I am a teacher who is off in the summer time. My schedule is flexible through August. During the school year, I am available on the weekends. I have rescued many animals, helping them get acclimated to their new setting. I rescued a half-starved kitten, keeping her in a separate room for months, giving her special care until she thrived. I have had senior pets and cared for a cat and dog through cancer, administering medicine. I have rescued a dog applying the 3-3-3 rule. I currently have a special needs cat who needs medicine twice a day.
“Caitlyn was amazing and truly saved the day when we needed a last-minute walk for our dog! She responded quickly, was a great communicator, and was so easy to work with. We could tell our dog was well cared for, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jake has recently started doing daily walks with my girl Flower (and was her sitter once before), and he is awesome. Always on time, super flexible with changes, and Flower absolutely loves him!”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I am also able to accept last minute bookings if needed! I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.
“Thank you Faux for taking such great care of Rondo while we were away! Faux followed all of Rondo's needs and provided detailed information so I felt at ease. I will be booking again!”
“Jessica was a huge help for me with doing a drop in visit to give my English Setter a break as I’m at work. She was excellent with communication and using the Rover app for updates. I would definitely use Jessica again”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would my own. I work part-time LPN. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own. I always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I also keep your home clean, respect your space, and send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve worked in a dog daycare/boarding facility for two years, & I’ve worked in a kennel for one year. I’ve cared for a range of dog ages, from puppies to senior dogs. The knowledge I’ve gained from my past experience has helped me to learn how to care for dogs, feeding tricks, training techniques, how to stop minor issues a dog may experience, and overall how to love and care for each dog because everyone is different! What may work for one dog won’t work for another and that’s okay! I’ve always treated any dog under my care with the same love & nurturing I give to my old dog. I work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays and don’t work on weekends! This gives me the time to tend to a dog whether they need to be played with, need potty breaks or a walk! I have the flexibility to be available starting at anytime & can either drop a dog off, have a dog picked up starting at 7pm. I would treat a clients dog like they are my own. Making sure the dog is feed, played with & given attention. My own dog goes on 2-3 walks per day, fed twice a day & given treats, the same treatment would be provided to a clients dog, and I can always adjust to what the client would like me to do!
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs in a single parent household, so I did a lot of the work to take care of them and train them. Most recently, I helped raise a golden retriever, who is now one hundred and ten pounds of pure love. I find myself gravitating towards animals more than people at times and no matter where I am, if there is an animal around, we always seem to find our way to one another. I do currently work full-time. However, I am remote some days and off on weekends, so my schedule does allow for flexibility at this time. I would follow the guidance and rules set in place by the homeowner. One example could be ensuring a dog is leashed at all times while on a walk. Another could be sticking to feeding the animals. Only the food provided by the owner and understanding any dietary restrictions or allergies the animal may have.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

Ashton is absolutely wonderful! She is definitely a dog person - seen by all of the pictures she sends and the great summary of how things went.

Grace was great with our little boy! Very responsive & detailed in her walks with Berni. He seemed to enjoy his walks very much, & he was clearly cared for. We would book Grace again, & recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. She was even flexible when our plans changed last minute, & we are thankful for that.

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.

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.
