“Vanessa and her partner were very sweet, caring and diligent when caring for my dog Finn. They took him on long walks and provided lots of photos and summaries of their time together. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!!”

About: I have been pet foster parent since 2018, in this time I have been able to care for around 30 pets. Some come with special challenges but have thoroughly enjoyed and fallen in love with every one of them. Goodbyes have been tough, they have gone on to loving home and thrived. I am thankful to be a small part of their journey! I am currently on work break, which gives me plenty of time to play, take long walks, and give your pet the attentive, dedicated care they deserve. I live in a townhouse with a large living / dining room and if needed can create a separate area for the pet's comfort. I have access to a large non-fenced backyard and long walking paths.

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

About: Am always the go-to sitter for my friends and family members whenever they’re traveling! You can count on me to keep your pet feeling loved and safe while you’re out of town! Starting Sept 4, I will only be available to take at night requests for walks (430 or later) and/or occasionally on weekends. I will do my best to accommodate. I am a great choice for a pop-in visit, but not for long-term care, due to working full time as a teacher. 👩🏼‍🏫 Thanks! I currently work part time in retail but my hours are flexible. The more notice in advance, the better! Send me a request and we will find something that fits! My kitty is indoor only and has her own area, but roams freely. I can crate dogs or allow them their space, whichever style of living is preferred by you!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10+ years! I love spending time with all animals so petsitting is like a vacation for me. I am a full time lab technician and have flexible hours to watch over any furbabies :) I have a full time job that is very flexible with my hours. I am very detail oriented, punctual, and patient. I am free outside of work and would love to occupy my time, whenever need be, to help someone else who needs help watching their dog or cat! My biggest worry is not letting your furbabies run loose! I always check my surroundings before entering a home and be cautious so that no animal runs out or gets hurt in the process. While taking care of pets it is easy to let them run wild and have fun, but we can also do so without making the home messy! I will treat anyones dog or cat as my own, as well as make sure that I leave a home the way it was when coming in.

About: Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve spent years around dogs and other pets, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and any animal of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies that need lots of exercise to older dogs that prefer slower walks and extra care. I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Currently work part time at nights and weekends predominantly so I have morning/daytime availablility during the week while you are at work! Can also do overnights any day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always follow each pet’s routine, care instructions, and any special needs provided by the owner to make sure they feel secure and well cared for. I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Whether it’s during a walk, a drop in visit, or extended care, I always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and any changes in mood or energy so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I also make sure pets have fresh water, proper feeding, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of affection. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and messages to keep owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both pets and their owners feel completely at ease.

About: I have a college degree in Equine Studies and have been taking care of pets for over 10 years. Even as a kid I was trusted to take care of the neighborhood pets. I work part time at a barn taking care of the horses. In my free time, I spend time with my friends and their pets! I would be available to check on your pets multiple times a day due to my limited hours. I am able to take care of your pet the way you want them to be cared for. I am able to stick to any routine that you have created. I am flexible and communicative, happy to send pictures of your fur babies!

About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, but professionally, I’ve spent years working in veterinary medicine. I currently work as a veterinary nurse in the oncology department of a large specialty hospital, and I have experience in multiple veterinary clinics and hospitals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets with chronic or complex medical conditions. I can administer oral and topical medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and my veterinary background means I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t right and responding appropriately in an emergency. I’m also Fear Free Certified and take low-stress handling seriously. I’m happy to work with pets who are nervous, shy, spicy, or simply need a little more patience than the average sitter may be comfortable providing. For pets who need a little maintenance while you’re away, I can also provide nail trims, sanitary trims, and anal gland expressions when appropriate and requested. At home, I have my goofy rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Fae, and two cats: Baby, my beautiful but spicy failed foster, and Boo, my precious social recluse. Between them and my years in veterinary medicine, I’m very accustomed to animals having wildly different ideas about what constitutes a good time. For house sitting, my goal is to keep your pet’s life as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. For walks and drop-ins, I’m equally happy with a leisurely sniff-every-blade-of-grass walk, an energetic outing, or simply keeping an older pet company and taking care of their needs. I am in clinical rotations for my graduate program from Monday-Thursday 8:30am-4:30pm and work the odd Friday per diem at my veterinary hospital. If you don’t see a date you need, just message me! At your home I will adhere to what is normal for your pet and I can follow any rules and instructions you may have, including medications, feeding schedules, walks, play time and exercise, or just “hanging out” to make your pet feel less lonely while you’re away.

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 24,747 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bernards. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bernards after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bernards. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
