“Heidi is amazing! She has this beautiful combination of a peaceful spirit when she’s around the dogs, but she’s extremely high energy and friendly and bubbly and just a really colorful person and I am so glad that we have connected. You can tell that she really does care about the animals and makes it a point. I would imagine to make my dog feel like he’s the only dog in the world and he is happier and more exercised and it really truly has been a blessing!”
About: Hi guys! So I’m originally from Phoenix and now live in Gilbert with my XL American Pitbull Terrier, Spanky. I’ve taught him to sit, wait for his food, paw, lay down, and roll over.

I’d love to teach your dog new tricks and walk them so they will be more relaxed to be around. :) I am currently working part time and set my own schedule so my availability is very flexible to accommodate your needs. I’ll be able to work from 6AM-7PM everyday. I have a dog of my own so we can have them play together if you’d like. I have him crated for the majority of the time though. Also, I have a pronged collar of my own to make it easier to walk a bigger dog. I have fields in my apartment with shade to keep your pet entertained while I throw them a ball or have them go potty while you’re out.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
