About: I have over 12 years of experience in dog care, with a strong background in grooming, vet assisting, training, and behavioral work. I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.

“Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.”

“Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!”

About: I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats! I have had repeat clients and have helped family and friends with their pets on many occasions. I will always treat and love them as I would my own. I am a stay at home mom and I don’t go anywhere often, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I typically provide potty breaks every 1-2 hours and will go on walks if requested, as long as it’s not too hot out. I have a large 2 story house and a fenced in area. I do have my 4 year old son and 5 year old girls at home until they go to school in August so your babies need to like kids!

If going to someone else’s home, I will follow all instructions left for me, and take care of your home and pets as I do my own! 🩷

About: As an experienced dog owner of medium and large sized dogs, and a lover of little dogs, I can offer loving companionship and care for your pet. I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and those recovering from surgeries and can assist with those needs as well.

For pet care in your home, I will follow any instructions you have for their care and comfort. A typical visit would include a potty break/walk, a treat, and a little time petting them and telling them what a good and lovely baby they are. If feeding or medication is needed that can also be handled during my visit.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
