About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently going to be doing rover full time so I'll always have availability for your pets. Also I'm almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.
About: I have been a dog mama for 16 years and a dog rescue volunteer for 10+ years. In the dog rescue world I have fostered pups from puppies 6 weeks old up to 6-8 years old plus. It doesn’t make a difference what age they are, they will always be a puppy at heart and that is why I usually call them pups or puppies. I have fostered medical pups, I also had a pup of my own that was diabetic so I have had to administer insulin besides regular medications. I am good to administer any medications. I also transport for the rescue. I have been one of the main transporters for the last five years. The rescue I volunteer with accepts all breeds. So, I have had the pleasure of working with many breeds through fostering, transporting, meet and greets, fundraising and all the other jobs that we have with the rescue. It has been a privilege and honor to volunteer to help these pups. It is more like a passion some days. As for my own pups/pack, I currently have three medium to large pups. I have had 2 dashies or as most people call them doxies that were rescue pups and they lived great long lives to 14 and 15 years old. Plus I had an American Bulldog who loved life and lived to the age of nine (that darn cancer word.) My current pups are a boxer (age 8), shepherd/Husky mix (age 7), and as I call him a my Heinz 57 mix ( he has 5 breeds that make up his DNA - that is what the DNA test showed and he just turned 4 years old.) My shep/husky is the queen bee/leader of the pack (it is that husky in her) and the other two are sweethearts that are foodies all the way. Both my shepherd/Husky and my Heinz 57 pups are rescue pups that I fostered, adopted, and trained. My boxer was a re-homing situation due to having to downsize. One thing when you foster from your own home, all the foster pups are treated like one of your own pups/like family until they are adopted. So, if they are puppies they are potty trained to go outside, kennel trained, leash trained, and etc. Actually, we make sure all our pups that are adopted are kennel trained, leash trained for walks, potty trained to go outside and etc. as some of the pups we get come from commercial breeders. We just make sure they all know these things. One other note from me is some days I find it easier to just hang out with the pups than to try and communicate/socialize with people. What’s that saying they have “I’d rather be with my dog!” I work a full-time job but I will be able to check on your pup in the morning if needed and/or at my lunch hour and in the evening. We will work out a plan for a schedule. My employer/manager is very flexible and understanding. It will depend on which service(s) the client has selected; we will meet and work out a plan for the type of service(s) that is needed for your pup(s). Depending on if it is drop in care or dog walking, they are two very different services or both.
“We have been using Zach to walk our dog for the past couple months. Very respectful, polite, and keeps me updated with all the bookings. Excellent at responding and extremely trustworthy. We will continue to book- very happy customers!! :)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a house with a backyard where I can comfortably host pets and provide a safe, welcoming environment. Dogs have the freedom to enjoy the backyard throughout their stay, giving them space to play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’m also able to provide walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m flexible and always prioritize clear communication with owners to ensure their pets receive the care they need.
About: I've provided pet services and pet/house sitting for a small group of people I've known and been referred to. I've been wanting to expand my clientele, as I have a lot to offer. Although I consider it to be a small side gig, I like to refer to my business affectionately as "No Place Like Home". I have 20 plus years experience, including managing a dog day care for two years. It also includes working with special needs, administering medication orally and through injections. I have references as well as my own personal experience with my cat. I am energetic and can keep up with even the most active dogs. They are my passion. Not only that, pet sitting in your house creates a calmer and safer environment for your pets, as well as keeping your home safe and occupied. I am semi retired. I have a lot of time to spend with your pets in your home ensuring several potty breaks, play and exercise. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I follow instructions left by the owner and will ensure play and exercise
“Olivia had great communication and offered to help with short notice. It was so nice knowing we could leave for a long period of time and Baxter was taken care of! She took him for a walk and made sure he had fresh water after. Love all the pictures! I will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: I have raised and sold puppies for over 10 years. Many friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets over short and long periods of time. I love dogs so much and I am looking forward to watching a lot of cute and loving doggies. 😊 I’m currently not working in the summers because I’m a teacher, but during the school year I work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your furry babies. I’m free mostly on weekdays, but I can also work many weekends. My yard is not fenced in, but I do have an underground electric fence. I can easily crate your pet if needed, or give them 24/7 attention if needed. I also have two very nice golden retrieves that can keep your fur babies company. 😊 I'm currently not working in the summers because I'm a teacher, but during the school year I work part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your furry babies.

About: With over 10 years of experience, I combine a passion for animals with professional expertise. As a nurse, I understand the importance of compassionate care, and that’s exactly what I provide for your furry family members. Meet the Team: As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for countless dogs, cats, and other critters. My own pets are my pride and joy, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. My Little Helpers: With three children under the age of 7, our home is always bustling with energy and laughter. Your pets will enjoy the playful company of our little ones during their stay. I am also a professional photographer and would love to capture some fun photos of your furry friend! Ask me about my add on photography service! Between my husband and I, someone is always home. It would not be a problem if your pet would need frequent bathroom breaks. As a part time nurse, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I also have a cat that keeps to himself. He is allowed to free roam the main floor. They play outside whenever I am out. Your animal will be treated like my own pet with your typical rules and requests respected.
About: I have loved taking care of and being around all breeds of dogs since I was very little. I am a nurse full time so I naturally love taking care of people (and dogs). I have a special place for dogs in my heart! My husband and I have obedience trained our 3 dogs and trained them ourselves to hunt. I currently work 4 days a week so I am available for drop ins/walks. I am willing to go out of my way to make sure your pups are taken care of. At our home, we have a fenced in backyard and my dogs love to welcome new dogs in to play. I like to make sure they enjoy their time in our home with lots of outdoor time, play time, walks, and sleep in a comfortable place. They are welcome in our bed!
About: I have lived on a farm my whole life therefore I am very familiar with dogs! I have worked at a vet clinic before so I am comfortable with different breeds:) I recently had a baby girl and I would love to stay home with her as much as possible! So in order to do so… I’d love to get active again and take your dogs on walks and/or get out of the house to drop in and visit your pets! Living on a farm has never required me to walk my dogs but I feel that I am responsible and trustworthy enough to walk your dog(s) safely! I know how important your pets are to you and I will do everything to keep them safe and healthy!

Paris was wonderful with my pup, Frankie! She even took the time to come for a meet and greet beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable having someone come into my home and care for him. She was very responsive, kept me updated throughout the visit, and sent lots of pictures. I could tell Frankie was in great hands! I highly recommend Paris and would definitely book with her 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 Benton Township. 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.
