“So thankful Elise was able to come check on my high energy GSD. She has been very accommodating for my last minute scheduling. She sent photos and updates when she arrived so I wasn’t worried at work. Will be rebooking her visits!”

“Our two wild animals had a great time on their walks with Sabrina. She treated them like they were her own fur babies and it’s such a relief to know that she’s around! We came home to two very happy, clearly well taken care of pups. We are so thankful!”

About: Hello pet owners! My name is Kylie, and I am a lover of all animals. I currently have 2 cats that are 7 years old, a Black Lab pup that is 6, a Hound dog that is 4 and our most recent rescue is a Pitbull pup that is 10 months old. I have also raised 2 other rescues that I had the joy of having from the time they were pups though their senior years. I have 20+ years of experience in animal care and would love to take care of your family members. I am currently a full time teacher looking to work with part time with your pet. I am currently able to do pet care in your home. At this time I am not able to take care of pets in our home. We are still working with the new rescue dog and getting him adapted to our home.

About: I have had numerous dogs over the years, from rescue to purebred, ranging from 8 weeks old to adopting a rescue at 4 years old. I have worked with potty training my dog, to helping my rescue dog realize she's safe now and loved. Lucy is my dog I have now, she is a rescue and the sweetest dog I've had. I am happy to offer professional dog walking and drop-in services. I am currently available Monday-Fridays, morning and lunchtime walks, and all day on Saturdays. My dog walking and drop-in includes walking, spending time with your dog, making sure they have fresh water and food if they need to be fed. I like to meet with you and your dog before I start so they become familiar with me. During this meet and greet I can find out if there are specific needs (oral medications, puppy training, senior dog) you would like me to do while I’m there. I provide updates when I arrive and when I leave letting you know how they are doing. I look forward to meeting you and can be trusted to follow the instructions you provide for the best care and safety for your family dog.

About: Hi there! I’ve been dog bathing since I was 15. When I was bathing our goal was to keep the dogs happy and relaxed. Letting them learn who we are and getting them comfortable with us so they know they can trust us and feel safe. I’ve loved building connections with animals over the years. I have no issue bathing dogs or trimming nails if you supply me with what’s needed! My husband is in the army and loves pets as well. We have a fenced in backyard, and plenty of room for your pup to run around and play fetch or whatever they like to do! If owners are willing I’m okay with watching two clients at a time! I’d love to go on walks with them, curl up and watch a movie. Etc. With my husband leaving often due to being in the army I really appreciate the company! Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies! I look forward to meeting you! After having my son I am trying to become a stay at home mom full time. My husband is home at a different times throughout the week due to his job but is home on weekends with me. I play with them, give them plenty of attention. Normally we go on walks, eat based on their schedule. If they have a dog bed I set that up and whatever their owners brought. If not I do allow dogs on my furniture. I have a ball that I tend to let pups play with. I plan on getting more toys and creating a basket!

“I have a rescue pittie named Peter thats only been with me for about 4 months, and he currently needs a lot of extra care, attention, patience, and love. Nicole has been so kind and willing to accommodate his needs, and Peter loves her! He looks so happy in all the update pictures she sends— I’m grateful to have found somebody that both me and my dog feel comfy with.”

Jackie was super sweet and patient with Bailey. I know Bailey can be hard to handle but she was the best. She also would go over the regular 30mins walk and play with him. Definitely recommend.

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 Black River. 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 request a 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.

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.
