About: I take care animals during my days off from work so i can be with your fur babies all day. I have been caring for puppies to elderly dogs in some kind of capacity for the past twenty-five years, I typically walk and play with the dogs that I am caring for but if there is something you or your dog would like just ask and I'll be sure to do those things. I have worked in a vetienerian clinic as well so if I need to I am able to give CPR. I have had multiple senior dogs of my own and so I know what it takes to take care of dogs of all ages. I love all kinds of animals and the care that I have for them comes through when I take care of them. My schedule is able to change around you and your babies. If you feel would be more comfortable with me being with your fur babies more often that can work. I typically take care of your babies in their own environment where they are more comfortable and used to. They know their home and have all of their own toys.
About: I currently have 1 dog named Willow. She is a husky mix so we go for lots of walks together. I work full time as an athletic trainer so I don’t go in for work until afternoons/evenings. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and give your pet exercise, potty breaks, and food while you are gone. I work 2:30-6pm most nights. Game nights later. Most weekends are off or limited hours for games. Available all morning and lunch time Take the time to give pet exercise, food, and of course lots of pets while you are gone. Will make sure things are kept clean or cleaned up if fur baby has any accidents.
About: I’ve been a dog lover and dog owner my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I regularly help care for my son’s dogs when he needs an extra hand. Now that I’m retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your pup plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll treat every pup in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I’ve always given my own. I’m retired, so plenty of availability! I’m also an early riser, and available on weekends. Scheduling with me will be very flexible and easy to coordinate. I never look at my phone or get distracted when I walk with a dog and am very conscious of ensuring the dog is safe from any cars or other furry friends.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being with dogs and cats more than people. I am a cat mom currently. I’ll always be reliable and responsible. I love doing it for the pets. I work part time but I make a sitting work anytime. My schedule is flexible as long as I know beforehand. I always want to make sure the pets are well looked after. I have an indoor cat that loves to go outside. I sit with him until he is ready to come inside. I never leave him unsupervised. I will always care and be responsible for any pets like their my own.

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 Blue Ridge. 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.
