“I am so happy we found Jennifer to walk our dog. She's a very caring and responsible person. She asked great questions when we met for introductions. She was on time and let me know of schedule changes and was flexible in rescheduling. Our dog loves her. I highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pets.”
About: My empathy and hypersensitivity have made me an animal lover since birth. My mother was the neighborhood vet and animal caretaker growing up. I learned a lot from her and carry that love and care with all animals I encounter. I have cared for friends and families pets while they are away and always put them first. I know what it's like to worry about my pets and want the best for them, so I strive to provide that to all pets I care for. I'm currently unemployed, so I have mostly open availability. The weekends are a bit busier, but depending on plans, I may have some weekend availability. I have cared for pets in their own homes and am very respectful of your space and your pets space. I appreciate instructions but also hope to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure they are not surprised by my visiting once you are gone.
“Thanks Dayna! We appreciate you taking care of Sammy today. Thanks for giving him snuggles and love while it rained! He likes perfect weather and that’s about it lol. Glad you guys got out before it started raining ! Thanks again !!”
“Sara was incredible and patient walking with our 8 year old GD. Our doggy is big in the outside but little in the inside and Sara treated her with such gentleness. Highly recommend Sara as a dog walker.”
About: I have taken care of large Akitas my whole life. They were very difficult to walk and struggle with other dogs so plenty of experience with more difficult walkers. I also currently live with a Jack Russell! Recent UVA Law graduate waiting for my job to start in January so available almost any time of day. Need more of a heads up for last minute walks to make sure I can be there, but other than that I am a trustworthy young adult with a lot of time on her hands! Handle everything I do with extreme care. I will make sure to treat your pet with the upmost care and concern necessary for any walk or check-in.
“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”
“Sidney is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her! She is really good at communicating and sent the best pictures of my dog when I was missing him. She was willing to give medications and did a great job overall.”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of every kind my entire life basically. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me since I was a little girl to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently dog sit full time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding all seven days of the week at anytime of need! I have a spacious yard and two friendly female dogs(both spayed) to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I'm a genuine animal lover who treats every home and pet as if they were my own. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra care, a shy pup who takes time to warm up, or a small apartment with a feisty terrier — I show up prepared, patient, and attentive. My priority is making sure your pets are happy and your home is respected, so you can travel with real peace of mind. I welcome meet-and-greets beforehand, communicate throughout the stay, and always leave your home just as I found it. Pet sitting is my primary focus when I take a sit — I'm not squeezing it in around a busy schedule. Your pets get my full attention, not leftover time. I stay in your home for the full sit, keeping your pets in their own space with their familiar routines, smells, and comfort. No disruption, no transport — just consistent care in the environment they already trust.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life since then I have been taking care of my own, neighbors, friends and families fur babies too! I’m currently working from home but have flexibility.

Taking care of your dog is my main priority making sure to make their and your day go smoothly I will follow any directions that you’d like for your fur baby!
“Jimmy is amazing with Alton. He has a clear love for dogs and passion for doing what is needed to care for them. I’m always impressed at seeing the maps of the nice walks they take. Which I’m sure Alton very much appreciates when he’s pouty that I’m away. Jimmy is also very easy to communicate with and always responsive. 10/10 recommend.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra but I tend to go by Lexy. I have had dogs and cats and so many other animals in my household since before I was even born. My mom grew up on a big farm so she was used to being around animals. She wanted to make sure she had the same experience for my brother and I. I have been a part time dog sitter through word of mouth mainly. I just recently graduated from college with my bachelors in Public Health and am looking for a fun filler throughout my summer while I plan next steps. Animals (especially dogs) are my safe space. So please, entrust in me with your fury friend and I promise you will not regret it! I am currently only working part-time on weekends. So schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible. I am also available to do over nights as I have someone at my house who can watch my animals! I will not be offering any services at my own home as I have a pretty full house of animals. To sustain their comfort I want to keep this separate. At my house I have a fenced in yard but a large yard outside that fence the dogs are able to roam. They have an electric fence so they know how far they are supposed to go.
About: Many years of experience with family and friend pet care. I always have a great vibe with animals. I will treat your pet like family. I currently work 2 part time jobs The Madison Club downtown and Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin. I do occasionally work weekend nights at one job. Times of availability may vary depending on the day of the week needed. If giving enough notice I can work around my schedule to help out. Thursday's I know my weekly schedule for the following week. I do have a fenced in back yard if any pets come over. Lots of room to run around. I live in a great neighborhood on the Eastside of Madison for walking any dogs. I will also sit and relax with your pet if that's what is needed. I like knowing all the things they love to do with you.
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I have open availability so I can take pets anytime and any day. I can do both cats and dogs as I have experience in both and experience in different energy levels I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I have experience with all age ranges of pets. I enjoy taking care of mine and my family members pets! I often watch my parents 2 year old energetic boxer mix, as well as 3 cats, one who has heart failure. I also love spending time with my sisters 5 year old mini doxie. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, cleaning litter boxes and providing basic medical needs. I look forward to meeting the furry important members of your family and providing the best care I can! I have an open availability for Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm. I’m available for longer walks if needed or short in and out trips. I take my parents dog Willie on walks around local parks, he’s a very energetic dog and likes to pull. So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.

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 Brooklyn. 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 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 .
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.
