About: I am a trained Veterinary Tech Assistant that worked in animal rescue / spay & neuter clinic. I also previously worked in a small, local pet store where I became educated and extremely fascinated with pet health and animal nutrition! I absolutely love spoiling and spending time with all critters, so please do me a favor and give me a call! I am very flexible, and will also admit that my dog eats WAY better than I do, so I’ll be sure to accommodate any of your best friends needs!! I am a stay at home mom, and I have a very flexible schedule. My rates are lower than most in the area as I am not able to do overnights in your home, and full disclosure - there’s a chance one of my kids might need to tag along with me during drop ins. I enjoy being outdoors rain (more likely snow) or shine, and I’ll be keeping the dogs company for a game of fetch or some belly rubs in the yard. I have a large un-fenced yard, and a comfortable indoor area for dogs to play or unwind. I can easily accommodate space for a crate if your pup has their own.
“We were delighted to meet Abby, she walked our mini schnauzer for a week. He can be a challenge but she was so understanding and communicative and put us at ease. She is kind, smart and trustworthy and we are so happy to look for her help in the future. She deserves all the stars, I can’t speak highly enough of her. Thank you Abby!”

My home is immaculate, pet-proofed and has plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable.

“Val was so prompt and reliable when picking Evie up from my workplace, and the two of them had a lovely walk! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t recommend Val more. Evie clearly had a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Val again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been raising a mini Aussie puppy since September. I understand how to handle puppies and many different breeds. I have helped family and friends take care of dogs. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pets! On average I work 4 days a week in the evenings for 3-6 hours, typically weekends and 1 or 2 other days a week. My schedule during the day is very open for walks, potty breaks, or meals at just about any time. I can also do late-night checkups as needed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly mini Aussie puppy who loves to play. My home is pet proof, so there should be no concerns about your pet getting into/eating anything they’re not supposed to. When in your home, I am very respectful. I do not snoop around and will ensure everything is okay with your pet. If desired, I can bring my puppy over for a playdate and/or walks.

Taylor does a fantastic job. He was available very last minute for me and always does a great job. He shows up on time and does exactly what is asked of him. Layka loves to go on her walks with him as well. Very reliable, I would highly recommend him for whatever your need may be:)

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

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.
