“Morgan has been amazing with my pups! They clearly love her and she has been very responsive and any directions and routines. It has made going back to work after the summer so much easier with a new puppy.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around animals and truly believe they are family, not just pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and at different stages of life, including my senior dog Jacob (11). Having an older dog has taught me to be patient, notice the little things, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for as they get older. I’ve also worked with my dog Atlas, who has had some behavioral challenges. Helping him over the years has taught me that every animal is different and that trust, consistency, and patience go a long way. I enjoy taking the time to understand each pet and what helps them feel safe and happy. Since I have a multi-pet household with dogs, cats, and birds, I’m comfortable with different routines and different types of care. I know every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that I truly care about the animals I look after. I don’t just show up to feed them—I want to build a connection with them, make them feel comfortable, and give them the same care and love I would want someone to give my own pets. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine. Every day, I feed my three dogs, two cats, and two parakeets, make sure they always have fresh water, and spend time playing with and caring for them. My dogs get regular walks and outdoor time, and I love taking them on hikes whenever I can. My cats get plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment, and I make sure their litter boxes stay clean. I also care for my parakeets by cleaning their cage, refreshing their food and water, and giving them time to interact and explore. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, adding your pet to my routine feels. I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own pets. I care for every pet like they are my own because I truly believe pets are family. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love taking the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy. At home, I care for my three dogs, Jacob (11), Luna (7), and Atlas (8), my two cats, Stinky (5) and Kiwi (6), and my two parakeets, Suki and Dewy. My dogs get lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures like walks and hikes. Luna has had some behavioral challenges, which has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal learns and grows at their own pace. Seeing how much she has improved over the years has shown me how important love and patience are when caring for pets. My cats, Stinky and Kiwi, have completely different personalities, and that’s one of the things I love most about cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them entertained, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they have a comfortable and happy environment. I also have experience caring for my parakeets, Suki and Dewy. I’m comfortable with feeding them, cleaning their cage, changing their water, and making sure they get attention and enrichment. While I haven’t owned larger birds, I’m always willing to learn and make sure I understand each pet’s needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll respect their routine and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets because I know how much they mean to your family.
“Ayesha was so patient and sweet with our crazy puppy Balto. Always on time and following all the instructions for your pet’s unique needs. Will be definitely booking with her again as Balto loves her!”

“Charles does 3x weekly walks for my pup and has been absolutely great. He is reliable, easy to communicate with about any schedule adjustments, thoughtful in his care, and my doggo is always extra happy on the days he comes by. Despite him claiming to be a cat whisperer, he’s pretty darn great with dogs too! I absolutely recommend his services.”

About: Owners and animals will love my service because I'm very hands on and love to engage with the animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own who are extremely well behaved with other animals. I've worked with dogs In particular in the past and found a passion with it. It doesn't matter if it's big dogs or small, I love to meet and interact with new animals. I have worked with aggressive breeds in the past so I know how to engage and interact with different breeds and needs. I know not all dogs are the same and each dog requires different techniques for that dog to feel safe and comfortable with a stranger. I feel confident with my ability to walk or sit most dogs. I have open availability for anyone's needs! All I ask is you reach out ahead of time just incase I have anything else booked. I follow the guidelines set by the owners. Each pet is individual and requires certain attention. My job isnt to change the comfortability or routines you have set for your animals. If I encounter any concerns or have any suggestions I will always bring them to the owner before I change any daily routine.

“Kelsey is incredibly reliable and always shows up on time. My dog absolutely adores her, and I can tell she gets plenty of exercise and love during their walks and dog park visits. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in good hands. Thank you for being so dependable and caring!”

“Tab is so wonderful with my pittie mix, Abbie. She can be reactive on walks, but Tab does a great job of keeping her and others safe while they are out for walks in the woods! Abbie is always tired out and happy after a walk with Tab.”

“Rosa was amazing watching Moose. She walked her three times a day for several days and administered her food and medication without any issues. Rosa sent a photo and update with every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose was clearly well cared for, and we would highly recommend Rosa and book her again.”


About: I have looked after pets of many family members and friends for most of my life, including older pets that require medications and certain accommodations. I consider myself very patient and attentive to pets' needs. I work freelance with flexible hours, so my availability is pretty much wide open. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I am able to focus solely on my client's pet(s). I am happy to bring the attention and comfort to your pets that they need. That includes walking dogs frequently, playing often, maintaining diet and clean drinking water, picking up poos, and cleaning up messes! I am also happy to accommodate on overnight stays pets who may want to sleep in the bed or require night/early morning care.
About: Hey! I have a service dog of my own. I enjoy having my dog with me during my walks and jogs. She rides in the passenger majority of time sitting up like she’s a human. I know everyone treats their dog a certain way, if you were to explain how you are with your dog, I can adapt to that. I work from my laptop so I’ll adapt to the time as needed. I walk my dog at least 3 times a day. Sometimes the walks are 1-3 miles depending on how much exercise she gets throughout the week. I enjoy working out myself, so I feel it’s unfair to the dog to not stay active as well. I am attentive to what dogs are putting in the mouths. I make sure they are well fed, hydrated, and meds are taken. I have dog wipes to wipe their paws from the debris before going through the home.

About: I’m a caring, dependable, and patient pet lover who treats every dog like they’re part of the family. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’m especially comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and love. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care for dogs and cats when they need it. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their familiar and comfortable environment. I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2024, originally helping my mom out with her own pet sitting business. For the past 6 months, I’ve been offering services of my own. I have experience with both cats and dogs and specialize in in-home stays to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own home. I graduated high school early in January and have been working on my pet care company since then. I am not currently in school, giving me 24/7 availability. I believe the best way to care for pets is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I love house sitting for my clients, as their furry friends get to stay in their own home!
“Lori J. was helping us by providing daily walks for our standard poodle, Hermione, while we were on vacation, having left her with the grandparents who find it difficult to provide exercise for Hermione. She is a really nice person and loves dogs and cats. She has experience, so she knows how to maintain discipline with the animal on the walk; she reads its needs and quirks very well. The very next day after her morning and evening walk with Lori, Hermione would wait impatiently for her to arrive (as promised) and expressed her happiness to see Lori as dogs do - tail wagging happily and mouth open in excitement. We highly recommend Lori as a reliable, cheerful and warm-hearted person who really seems to love her work.”

She’s extremely polite very courteous and storm absolutely loves her. I really appreciate her transparency and her energy is very positive

Erin was amazing! She was able to accommodate my last-minute booking request, arrived promptly, and was incredibly kind and professional throughout the process. Diesel seemed to really enjoy his walk, and I appreciated the peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

Such a wonderful person to have watch our senior baby. We had a worry-free vacation knowing that such a caring soul was looking after Hans and meeting his needs each walk, no matter how particular and stubborn he can be. We genuinely looked forward to each walk summary. I personally think you could blog these interactions! Thank you so much. 🐾

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 Blands. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
