“Brian was AMAZING! It was so much peace of mind having someone caring to take care of our very rambunctious GSP! He was flexible, timely, went above and beyond when the door code didn't work and waited until we could get it worked out. We will definitely be hiring Brian again!”
About: Hi, my name is Tessa and I am 29 years old with a bachelors of science in biology from Penn State University. I have been an animal lover ever since I was little and have grown myself professionally in the animal field over the last several years! I am a trained professional in administering medication via orally and through injection, therefore, if your pet needs any medication I will not have an issue administering it. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, thus, the size and breed of your dog is irrelevant to me. I have owned dogs who were partially blind, completely deaf, had autoimmune diseases and one in which had epilepsy. Special needs pets and reactive pets are welcome in my care. If you are looking for a responsible, knowledgeable animal caretaker- look no further! My schedule is currently completely open on Saturdays and Sundays when it comes to making sure your fur baby is well cared for from 6:00am-11:30pm. When walking your pup, rest assured, they will be leashed at all times. If you would like off leash exercise for your dog, we will remain in a secured area for the safety of your dog.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals from dogs to cats and even rats. I have pet-sat for neighbors and family since I was 15 and 3 cats of my own at home. I have also dealt with animals with special needs including my family dog that has seizures and another family dog that is deaf, blind and has to receive insulin injections after every meal. My schedule is currently very open and I am available any day throughout the week as well as weekends. I am not currently looking for too many overnight stays because I do have 3 cats of my own to watch after. I have 3 very spoiled cats of my own that gets all of the attention that I can provide as well as daily play time and brushing. I keep to a very strict feeding schedule because one of my cat does have some food insecurity issues so I try to be very mindful of that. While taking care of my family’s dogs that require medical attention, I keep a check off list next to the food in order to insure that their medications that are either taken with or taken right after food are administered accordingly.
About: I am currently helping care for 3 dogs weekly and have been doing this for about a year. I have 2 dogs and 3 kitties. I take my youngest daughter to daycare around 8:30am and pick her up around 3:30. I just earned my degree in business administration in June of 2023. I go daily around lunchtime to let three dogs out to use the bathroom. Make sure they have water and then let them back inside put the puppy in her crate.
About: Hello, pet lovers and owners! I have grown up with a variety of animals all my life and have always had a passionate love for them. I was a dog groomer for about 2 years. This allowed my knowledge of animals to grow, I am very familiar with dogs body language and the way they communicate with it. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, different dog breeds, dogs with behavioral challenges, dogs with health issues, and am knowledgeable on the ways to adapt to their needs. I would be happy to take care of any grooming needs for your animals as well. I have also worked at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and a kennel tech at a humane society . I have a worked with animals for years and have never met one I didn’t love. I currently work 4 days a week, 8 hour shifts. On those days I can stop by before and after work to hang out with your pups. I am able to stay overnight on those days as well. The other 3 days of the week my availability is open! I don’t offer my home up for pets because I am in an apartment. However, when at a clients home I respect their space and privacy. I listen to their boundaries and do not cross them. If staying over night I always clean up after myself and the dogs of course.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and caring for animals has always been a core part of my life. Alongside long-term sitting experience, I have a strong background in both the veterinary and farm industries, giving me hands-on knowledge of animal behavior, health, and safety across a wide range of species and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, and keeping a calm, attentive eye on subtle changes in behavior. From energetic puppies and senior pets to anxious animals who need a little extra patience, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make your animals feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I prioritize, not squeeze in. I structure my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Because I have long-term experience in both veterinary and farm settings, I’m used to managing multiple animals and maintaining reliable routines. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead for any special needs like medications, training reinforcement, enrichment activities, or extra exercise. I’m organized, dependable, and flexible, so pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle rather than feeling rushed or transactional. I care for pets the same way I’d want my own animals cared for: with consistency, patience, and close attention to their individual needs. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I have had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I am very comfortable providing help for animals with special accommodations, administering medicine and handling picky eaters. I am here to go above and beyond of your animal’s care and make a lasting relationship with every client. I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all sorts and sizes and allowing owners to have a piece of mind while away. I am a recent college graduate who is home most of the day, so I am able to mold my schedule directly to your animal’s needs. I am able to play, walk, give bathroom breaks, and deliver medication as often as needed. When I stay at other people’s homes I am making sure to go over every part of the animal(s)’ checklist and daily routine to ensure it is a great experience for all parties. I am a very organized person who loves to stay on top of things and I bring these aspects into my dog sitting.
About: Over the last 20 years I have dog sat for my brother and a couple friends. I would let the dogs out to play, potty, feed them etc. My brother also has cats and a fish tank as well. I have had dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Right now I have a hound mix that is 100 pounds and his name is Logan. I will treat your furry friend like my own and love on them as well. I love animals in general. I believe every animal deserves to be cared for wit love, respect, and dignity. They are like humans they have feelings as well. I would love to help you and your family out with your furry friend. You can reach out to me anytime. I currently have a 100 pound hound mix who i absolutely love. He is five years old and five months. He took some time to get used to us as a puppy as we think he was abused. I take him for walks, let him out back and stay with him, and play with him with his favorite toy(tennis balls) I have grown up with animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, upon many others. I have also watched animals for friends and family. I will treat anyone's animals with love. I have a fenced in backyard I let my dog out in. I'm constantly outside with him playing and loving on him to make sure he is safe from anything that will hurt him. I take him on walks in my subdivision to give him a little more exercise. When someone needs to me watch their pet I am letting them out back to play while remaining outside with them and making sure they have fresh air. I will also do daily walks when needed.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 when I first started dog sitting for my neighbors elderly dog. Since then, my experience has grown from household stays to quick drop by’s when you’re away at work. I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs, and cats of all ages, understanding that all pets have their own unique needs. I’m recent graduate from Kennesaw State University, which means I have plenty of extra time to dedicate to pet care! I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and I’m excited to find even more opportunities. I have open availability and am happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I am following their usual routines, making sure they feel at ease and well-loved while their owners are away.

To ensure you feel good about leaving your precious fur babies with me, I provide daily updates and pictures to keep you connected!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During college, I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. In addition to my professional experience, I have rescued and fostered numerous dogs over the years, helping them transition into loving forever homes. As a proud dog parent to five dogs of my own, I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, attention, and care we would give our own. I am responsible, compassionate, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while you're away. I look forward to treating your furry family member like one of my own! Experience with: •Senior care •Puppy care •Pets with disabilities •Pet medication administration This season of life has taught me to slow down and focus on what matters most. As I recover from cancer and gradually return to work, pet sitting has become something that brings me joy, purpose, and healing. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, responsible, and attentive hands. I provide attentive, loving care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets are treated like family and given a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep them happy while their owners are away. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.

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 Buffington. 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.

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.
