“Katherine is the best! She has been a wonderful addition to Winnie's life and makes our lives so much easier, knowing that our pup is taken care of when we are out of the house.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals all throughout my childhood, which i’ve helped care for. I had 4 dogs in my family home and loved growing up with them. This has helped me learn many skills and how to care for dogs. I was so interested in joining Rover because caring for animals is something I naturally enjoy. I would love to help families and to be a trusted person that you can rely on. My animals mean the world to me and I know how important it is to find the right person to care for them. Would love to get to know your four legged friends! I’m currently available during the weekdays as well as weekends. I work a job but have some time in between assignments so I am currently very flexible. I will accommodate to the needs of every animal making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as they can be. I will build trust and help every animal.
About: I intentionally take one dog, or one dog family, at a time because I want every pup staying with me to receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. They’re family, and you want to know they’re not just being watched. You want to know they’re being cared for, and loved. That’s exactly what I try to provide. Your dog gets to stay in a comfortable home environment, become part of our routine, and receive plenty of individual attention instead of being one of several dogs competing for a sitter’s time. One of the things I especially love about caring for dogs is getting to know what makes each individual dog comfortable and happy. I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including senior dogs, so I understand that not every pup needs the same kind of care. Some dogs want to play all day, while others are happiest curled up beside you. Some need extra patience and reassurance, while others just want to know when dinner is coming. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs who need a little extra help, including following feeding routines, administering oral medications, and keeping up with individual care instructions. If your dog has medication, supplements, mobility limitations, a specific feeding schedule, anxiety, or simply needs a little more patience and attention, I’m happy to work with their normal routine. My goal is to make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Because I keep boarding intentionally small, I can give your dog the individual attention that can be difficult to provide in a busy boarding environment. Depending on your dog’s personality and routine, their stay may include: One on one attention and companionship Couch cuddles and cozy naps Playtime and enrichment Supervised outdoor time Lots of affection and reassurance Meals, treats, and supplements according to their normal routine Medication administration when needed Comfortable sleeping arrangements Regular photos and updates for you I’m happy to follow the routines you already have at home. The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them. Of course, no stay at our house would be complete without Kenobi, my 4 year old yellow Lab and resident Buddy. Kenobi is goofy, affectionate, laid back, and has yet to meet a dog he doesn’t like. He’s always excited to make a new friend and loves having another dog around. I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and have cared for dogs since I was young. My dogs have been an incredibly important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets. They each have their own personalities, needs, routines, and ways of communicating. My goal isn’t simply to give your dog somewhere to stay. I want them to feel like they’re spending a little time at their second home. I am currently working part-time for a real estate agency as an admin. I can work from home or in the office so my schedule is flexible. My dog is on a routine from walks to feedings and I do my best to stick to it everyday. I will always be prompt and timely to make sure your pets stay on schedule as well.
“Ellen always does a wonderful job walking Quincy! He always has so much fun with her! She takes such good care of him! I will be booking more walks with her in the future!”

About: I have always found myself surrounded with dogs of one kind or another and have loved each and every one from my own dear family dog, who we lost last year, or the puppy that I visit twice a week for family friends. I think that dogs, like people, have their own personalities and traits that make them unique and lovable in their own ways. You can get a doggo who is docile and sweet and only wants cuddles or you can have that crazy little thing that runs around like there is no tomorrow. I love to discover these quirks and tendencies of these four legged buddies and then develop a bond with them. I believe it is important to make a meaningful connection with your charges and from there you can really build a lasting relationship with the dogs. Every day is a little bit different but what is always the same is the level of care provided for your pet. The basics of breakfast, dinner, and pottying are all covered but I like to throw in some extra enrichment and fun so maybe your pet will get a trip to a coffee shop or the dog beach or maybe a pet friendly store. It really depends on what your pet might want on a particular day. Whatever it is, you’ll get tons of pictures and the occasional arts and crafts because it brings me joy 🤩 At my home, I have a large backyard that is fully fenced and the dogs get full range. The only portion they’re not invited into is my garden. I like to be the only one who does the watering there. Inside the pups get to hang out where they choose and if your dog needs a little quite space, I have a couple crates or baby gates that will help with that. Safety is the biggest priority though and cameras are in every room because I cannot be. I do my best to match dogs to other dogs they’re going to have a nice time with and also keep separate the ones that would prefer to have a closer knit circle of friends. Every animal is unique and I’d like them all to have an enjoyable time while they’re under my care
“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”

I bring compassion, reliability, and experience to every pet I care for—because I know firsthand how much they mean to you. Whether your pup needs a long, energizing walk or your kitty needs meds and a cuddle, I’ve got it covered. I’ve been a cat mom my entire life and cared for my family dog throughout high school and college, so I’m equally comfortable with both. ✅ Available 7 AM – 7 PM, flexible for short notice ✅ Mobile with my own transportation—vet visits and errands included ✅ Skilled in feeding routines, giving meds, and handling special care ✅ Single and fully focused—your pets are my top priority! Let’s chat about how I can help keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away or at work. I’d be honored to be part of your pet’s care team! I'm currently starting my own business so my time is very flexible.

I'm available to come to your home, pick up your dog for walks, vet visits and in your home I'll be their #1 fan! Providing quality care!
About: Hi, my name is Maddy! I am an energetic and hard-working healthcare professional and dog-lover. I’m available for walking, drop ins, or occasional sitting for dogs of all shapes, sizes, energy levels, and ages. My baby is an 80 pound Shepard mix named Booker, and we’re attached at all hours of the day. Reach out with any questions or requests! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so if you’re in the area I can work around your pet’s needs for the most part! I have a fenced in yard with my own dog, who loves to play fetch in the yard or at the park. We also love to go on long walks to the coffee shop or through the metroparks.
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
About: I connect with dogs and they are a major part of my life as a caretaker, walking neighborhoods, and hiking and jogging trails with them in order for them to live a balanced, healthy life. As a former state regulator, and private insurance company quality reviewer, competitive athlete and coach, I bring discipline, safety, passion, and compassion to my interactions with your loved one(s). I care for dogs full time, 7 days a week through all weather. I walk and run an average of 50 - 120 miles a week. I offer dog walking, hiking, and jogging. If your dog needs overnight care, I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs to keep your loved one(s) company, and can easily give your dog safe space in a crate with their own room, adjacent to my room or your dog can sleep in the living area with my dogs.

About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!

About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.

About: Growing up with a Mother who bred dogs, I lived and helped care for 14 different breeds while at home! Of course, I always had one of "my own". Around the year 2000, I became more structured working with dogs, including turning an abandoned barn dog into the best behaved house dog, and adopting a street rescue that I rehabbed into a great family pet. I am the alpha, firm but I'm FUN, FUN, FUN! I am also a cat lover! For awhile I lived out on a country farm and took care of 13 cats! (They were indoor family pets, not strays or barn cats.) I miss my kitties and would love to spend time with yours. I can care for horses too! Tina I love going for walks in the park. And I love being home, doing homey things like cooking, listening to music, playing music, working on creative projects. That's the day or night for your dog, walks and hanging out. I have a fully fenced yard and give frequent short walks also. I offer cage free overnight boarding in my home to provide your dog a calm, relaxed stay. My dog, Z, is very friendly and my cat, Jonesy, is very comfortable with dogs :)

Tina was so helpful! She responded to my request on Rover almost immediately which was very helpful since it was a last minute request. She came over for a meet and greet so that she could understand our house and meet Ashe. Her walk with Ashe was exactly 30 minutes and Ashe seemed happy as could be from the photos she sent us! Excited to keep working with Tina.

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 Brooklyn. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Brooklyn after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
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.

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
