“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.”
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 balancing being in school, but I am open to finding a time that works for both of us. Feel free to message me. ☺️ 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.
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.
“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”
“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’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and currently have four dogs of my own, ranging from giant breeds to my small Corgi, Zeek. Having a variety of dogs has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors who need extra patience and attention. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and learned the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm companion, I will treat them like one of my own and provide plenty of love, attention, and updates throughout their stay. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, attention, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, and accommodating any special needs or routines. I provide a clean, loving, and stress-free environment and will keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. My family has cared for many breeds of dogs including a Rottweiler, Great Dane, German Shepherd, Yorkie, and Chihuahua. I am the first person my friends and family come to when their pets need care. I have several years of experience walking, feeding, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I am currently a college student and will have lots of time to spend time with your pet. I am available in the afternoon/night and all day on the weekends. While caring for your pet, my time and attention will be completely devoted to their individual needs. While providing services at your home, my focus and priority will be on your pet as if they were my own.
“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 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 don’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had with a dog was with a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite my lack of experience I am willing to learn. My love for animals in general is why I am open to learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.
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 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'm an experienced canine care giver. I've loved dogs all my life + I'll love your dogs like they're my own. My first dog was a black Lab named Maddy. Later I rescued a border collie/labrador mix named Sareena. I've cared for all kinds of dogs - high energy, big, tiny, sick, seniors + more. I recently retired and live with my dog, Sareena. She is a now a senior citizen (11 years) and still has daily walks. I am very flexible with my time. I have plenty of places for them to curl up, toys, treats as per your instructions. I have crates (if necessary), big front yard with lots of leads, great area for walking. Whether walking or staying in my home ... I am extremely punctual and reliable. I will always send you pictures and updates. You can count on me.
About: I first started dog sitting when I was just 9 years old. It was the first job I ever had and it has continued to be a love of mine throughout my life. I come from a family that treats their pets like family and have plenty of love to offer your pet. My mom often dogsat when I was growing up, so I'm terrific with animals that aren't already familiar with me. I am also an active runner and have plenty of energy to keep up with even the most enthusiastic pet and would enjoy taking your beloved pet on lengthy runs and walks if to their liking. When it comes to reliability I have several years of customer service background and have a solid resume to back me up. I have a flexible full-time job. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday I have the most availability. The rest of the week I am available only in the mornings before 9am and then again any time after 5pm. I can also do quick/flexible lunch break work as well around 12pm. I have my own car and am available to travel and take trips to surrounding parks or for long walks. I am also open to staying at a residence for the day Sun-Tues.
About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old. I currently have three dogs of my own - a 12 year old male, a 10 year old female, and a 10 month old puppy. I have raised all of them since they were puppies. I also have 30+ years experience caring for cats. I am a local real estate agent, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available any day of the week for walks or drop in visits. I am available for drop-in visits for your dogs or cats. I have three dogs of my own, so I am used to walking and caring for dogs. I grew up with cats so I am comfortable with any feeding or cleaning needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ben Avon Heights
Jeremy was very thoughtful and he was asking a lot of questions about Buddy. He wanted to get to know him before his walk. I appreciate that! Jeremy was on time and took pride in his job! He is differently an animal lover! He was very thoughtful about our concern about Buddy. Very responsible!
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!
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.

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.
