About: I have owned pets my entire life and cared for many animals throughout that time. I have the most experience with large and xl dogs, including those who are puppies, have more energy, and may still need some extra training. I’m well acquainted with caring for pets with different medical needs, such as mobility issues, medication needs, and sensitivities. I work from home mostly with a flexible day to day, so I can spend time with your pet whenever they need! I have the ability to work from your home if your pet prefers a companion throughout the day or can stop in for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. Leaving your pet in someone’s care is not a simple task and I want to make you feel most comfortable! My priorities will be meeting your instructions for the pet and your home to ensure you’re confident in my care. Trust from both you and your pet are key.
About: I've almost always had a cat and small animals in my home since I was a kid, and I love all animals! If I'm unsure of a certain animal or breed for sitting, I'll happily do my research before the interaction. Any questions, please feel free to reach out! I have done many cat sitting/house sitting gigs in the past. I currently have a completely open schedule so your pets will be my #1 priority. They will get all the attention and play they can handle! I have 3 cats of my own, my standards for them are cleaning the litter boxes once per day (I have 5 of them), daily brushing for my long-haired cat and weekly for my short-hairs, scheduled feeding and clean fountains at all times! Lots of one-on-one play time as well, and I'm happy to do all of this and more for your furry friends.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Right now, I have two cats who are my baby boys, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and their routines. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities—from high-energy dogs to more independent or shy pets—and I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I’m very detail-oriented and reliable, especially when it comes to following feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I make that a priority. I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me some flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and pet care. I have the most availability after 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends. I’m also available for overnight stays in my clients’ homes, since I live in an apartment and am not offering boarding in my own home. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and routines. I always make sure doors are secure, pets have fresh water, and their space is clean and safe before I leave. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets are doing well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, focusing on rescues and special needs animals. I love spoiling our furry friends! I’ve raised two puppies from 8 weeks and am patient and loving towards all pets. I am patient and understand different temperaments and energy levels. I’m friendly and adaptable and can follow any specific instructions. Your pet will be well cared for with me! I work from home full time so I have a lot of flexible free time to care for your pet! I can do drops ins any time of day and love spoiling your pets. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood or mine, and I’m extremely careful to always ensure pets are secured and safe!

About: I grew up owning dogs, so I understand routines, patience, and consistency. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on providing calm, respectful care tailored to each dog.

About: Taken care of my sweet Diesel for 11 years (RIP). Also cared for my family’s dogs (french bulldog, corgi) and my neighbor’s dogs, incl. golden retrievers. Love to play and bring out their unique personalities. I love to go on walks and chuck the ball at the park with them! Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work part time as a preschool teacher and am currently studying for my teaching credential. My schedule allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for dogs and cats while balancing my work and studies. I’m happy to spend time with pets, follow their routines, and give them the companionship, exercise, and care they need. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I’m familiar with leashes, harnesses, crates, and following specific feeding instructions, including food restrictions and dietary needs. If pets stay at my home, I have a fenced yard where they can enjoy supervised outdoor time safely. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine and providing a calm, secure, and comfortable environment :)
About: I've had both cats and dogs as family members for many years. Now I currently love my family and friends' pets as if they were my own. I am recently retired after working 30+ years for the same company. I'm a home body so I'm comfortable snuggling and spending playtime with your pets. I love the outdoors and enjoy talking walks. I usually watch my friends and family's pets in the comfort of their own homes. I often have their pets at my home as well but usually for short periods, though sometimes overnight. I usually initiate playtime and welcome snuggling.
About: I have had animals all my life. I would love to take care of yours. If you are looking for a happy, healthy, and loving place to be when you are not available, then I am your lady. I am a retired lady so my schedule is mostly open. I plan ahead for engagements and appointments so once you are on my calendar, you are set. I live in a one story condo. I am happy to take your pet for walks or let your pet enjoy the outdoors on a lead. I of course will provide a safe place for your pet
“First time hiring a pet sitter, wasn't sure what to expect. Molly was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond what I had expected. I would recommend her to anyone as someone to take care of their pets.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old where family and friends have trusted me with there dogs to feed and walk and play with them. I currently work part time 3/4 days a week ranging from 3-5 hours per day where I can still come back and let your fur baby out and spend quality time with them. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I’m happy to bring him as a play mate for your dog if you would like.
“My dog is not the easiest dog to walk at times. Lauren kept him safe from dog encounters and responsibly showed up to take him out. She updated me about every walk with great detail and honesty. She was available during Christmas and showed up at 7:30AM, 4:30 PM and 9PM (not an easy itinerary). I highly recommend Lauren.”
About: I have cared for animals since I was 14 years old for my family, neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I really enjoy seeing the unique personality of each animal & how they need to feel love and care. I recognize each animal is different in their care and I attend to these details. I typically work 9a-4p Monday through Thursday. So, I am free those days before work, during lunch hour and after work for drop-ins or walks. My weekends are open Friday and Saturday for care. Sundays I typically work 8a-12p. I do not have any pets of my own. When caring for animals at my home, I am able to put dogs on a leash for walks. I keep doors shut to my basement, my bedroom, and outdoors. I adhere to requirements that clients ask of their pets in their own homes.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cat since I was 14 years old. I love pets and can provide them with excellent care. I currently have a part time job but have a lot of free time that I would love to fill with pets.

When taking them for walks I will make sure they have access to water when necessary.

Jackie was so good with Skye. She arrived on time with such positive energy and Skye immediately took to her. Skye got a lot of hugs and pats from Jackie and then they both went on a walk and I could see that Skye was very happy on her return. Jackie is affectionate and great pet sitter.
Lauren was great with our dogs! She was patient with our one dog that takes a little bit of time to warm up to people. Her communication was fantastic and she sent lots of pictures so we knew everything was going well. Will definitely use her again in the future!!

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 Canton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
