“Zola is awesome! Super communicative and the dogs seem to love her. She was super flexible in adding an extra day for walks at the last minute. So glad that she’ll be walking my dogs regularly.”

“A True Dog Professional - Highly Recommended! Whinde is simply amazing as a human, and more importantly, she is an incredibly skilled professional who deeply understands dogs and their specific needs, especially for medium/large sizes. We reached out to her with very short notice, and she was able to accommodate a meet-and-greet on the same day. She knew exactly how to approach our Labrador who is shy with strangers, putting him (and us!) immediately at ease. Her communication, engagement, and timing are excellent—I feel totally confident and know I can trust her with my fur baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I'm already becoming a repeat customer.”

About: Growing up, I've always had an affinity for animals. I've spent much of my life caring for my family's dog, and spending time caring for my neighbors' and friends' pets when they were away.

About: Throughout my childhood I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds - dogs in particular. My family has always had at least one dog in our household and I’ve spent a combined three years volunteering, shadowing, and working at animal hospitals / clinics - learning how to meet the needs of every dog or cat I encounter. The passion I had as a child led me to pursue zoology. I recently graduated from Cal Poly Humboldt and while there I worked at the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center. It was here that I learned to confidently and humanely rehabilitate numerous critters. I’ve worked with everything from raccoons to seabirds! The experience I’ve collected throughout my life has left me confident in my ability to provide structured and comforting care to any cat, dog, or other critters you may have. Please feel free to reach out with more questions or inquiries! :) Taking care of pets is my passion and priority. I'm available any time of the day, on both weekends and weekdays, to give good care to your animals. The most important things I focus on are giving love to all pets and ensuring they feel safe. Additionally, I have or create a schedule for taking care of the pet's needs, from meals to potty breaks to medication.
“Michele was great - she very professionally and thoughtfully managed our unruly dogs. She was reliable and followed through on all details and communication. She made it easy for us to be away. We didn't have to worrying about a thing. Our furry family members were in safe hands.”
About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Pet Sitter and a pet mom to two cats and a puppy. Spending so much time with my own pets has taught me how different every cat and dog can be, and how much their comfort depends on routine, body language, trust, and personality. My Fear Free training gives me a more thoughtful and systematic way to understand how a pet is feeling during each visit. I adjust my approach based on their personality, comfort level, and the care plan you’ve shared with me. Some pets are ready to play right away, while others need more space and time. I’m happy to meet them where they are and let trust build naturally. Most importantly, I want every visit, even a single 30-minute drop-in, to feel like a positive experience for your pet. I never see a short visit as something to simply get through. Whether I’m feeding, walking, giving medication, playing, or just sitting quietly nearby, I want them to feel safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while I’m there. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m patient, observant, and very detail-oriented when caring for pets. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to body language and signs of fear, anxiety, or stress, and I avoid forcing interaction when a pet needs space. For shy pets, I’m happy to take things slowly and let trust build over multiple visits. If medication or special handling is needed, I’ll always discuss the pet’s usual routine and comfort level with you beforehand.

“Jamie was wonderful to work with! She took the time to calmly listen as I shared all the details about my dog’s daily routine, arthritis, likes, and needs. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. She also showed me her home and backyard, which made me feel very comfortable and confident that my dog would be in a safe, loving environment. We had a great 30-minute walk together, and Jamie was so gentle and kind with my dog. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and takes the time to get to know each pet. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a compassionate pet caregiver. In fact, after our meet-and-greet walk, I felt so comfortable that I’ve already booked her to dog sit for my dog for 10 days in July. Thank you, Jamie!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Buena Vista
Nicole has been such a great help over the past few weeks and completely indispensable. She is always punctual, incredibly reliable, and her patience and attentiveness with Quattro are truly second to none. I highly recommend her to anyone on Rover looking for a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker.

Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my English bulldog. She sent lots of pictures, left great updates that made me laugh, and my home was just as clean as when I left. I felt very comfortable and at ease while on my trip with Rachel taking care of my pets and will definitely hire her again!

Megan took care of and was walking Pepper for over a week. I am very happy I found such an amazing walker for Pepper. She is super reliable, always showed up right on time, and gave me peace of mind. Her communication is awesome, she made sure I knew house and dog were in good hands. She told me of her desire of being more with dogs again after her move to CA. She took the best care of Pepper and treated him like one of her own. It seemed to me that Pepper looks even happier, healthier than before they started their walks. Highly recommended and I will ask her again next time when I am away.

Claudia was so sweet to take my last minute request to walk my dog. She was on time and she was so attentive my baby girl. I met Claudia at a coffee shop a few weeks ago and she told me she used Rover, shared her booking link, and it came so handy yesterday where I needed a last minute walker. I see her profile is new, but she definitely experienced with dogs. Well definitely book her again. Thank you so much!!
Yumi is incredibly conscientious, thorough, and punctual. She asks all the right questions and pays close attention to even the smallest details. She also has a real sixth sense when it comes to animals and seems to understand how they are feeling and what they need. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in the right hands with her. I especially love the connection she has with Rio. Sometimes I feel like they must have met in another life. Their bond is genuinely special, and Rio gets so excited to see her. It is clear that he absolutely adores her.

Rachel was fantastic with our enthusiastic hound dog during our last getaway, so we booked her again for dog walks while we were out of town over the long weekend. Unfortunately, our pup developed an unexpected stomach issue the day we left. Rachel was extremely communicative and kindly worked with us as we assessed our dog's health and recovery. She was patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful—we were ultimately able to continue our vacation plans knowing that our dog was in great hands. We look forward to requesting Rachel’s help again during our next trip, and our dog does too!

Wenran was amazing with my dog! She was super patient and attentive, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with him. I especially loved that she actually interacted with him and communicated with him throughout the stay, rather than just taking care of the basics. She was very caring and thoughtful, and I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would definitely book with Wenran again!

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.
