About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets for many years! All types of animals as well. I have taken care of high energy dogs like Huskies, and Belgian Malinois. I also have grown up with dogs that can be aggressive and dogs with anxiety. I can administer medication, take them for long walks and play with them thoroughly. I’m working full time but a flexible schedule. I’m usually working mid day with an hour break. And I can adjust my schedule with notice in advance to work around your pets needs. I will gladly play with your pets in a backyard, take them for long walks, play with them inside etc. My pets are like my kids and I will treat yours as such!
About: My experience with animals goes beyond caring for my personal household pets for 13 years and my volunteering with shelters/rescues for 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I take the time to pay attention to those individual differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, social, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety, routine, and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as weekends, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate different pet routines and needs. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and provide the specific care they’re booked for, while also paying attention to the little things that make them feel loved and at ease.
About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I occasionally work in afternoons, sometimes in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.

Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily.

In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.

As a dog mom myself, I know how much your pet means to you, and I’m committed to giving them love and attention as I do my own. I’m here to keep your pet safe and happy! I currently have an almost 4 year old great collie who is very reactive! We train everyday to work on specific behaviors such as unnecessary barking, pulling, and smaller behaviors like jumping. Although she is super sweet and loves hogging all the attention! My dog, Myron, has always cherished her toys so in return we have LOADS of toys! We go on walks often and visit the dog park to get the daily zoomies out as well. Although I live in a smaller apartment and will not be able to house any animals at home!

About: Hi, my name is Catherine and I am looking to help out by walking dogs and performing drop-in visits! I’ve grown up with dogs in the home for my entire life. We have had many different sizes and breeds, allowing me to become more familiar with different behaviors and tendencies. I also had a private dog sitting job where I watched 2 dogs and a cat on weekdays. I would walk the dogs, prepare them dinner, and play with them at the park. This job allowed me to learn how to handle dogs other than my own. I love animals and will make sure to treat them well. I will be able to come to the house and feed, walk, and clean up after the pets. I can give them medicine if needed, and prepare food specially if needed. I will play with them or simply walk them around. Since I am working part time, I will have free time. However, my schedule is not exactly the same each week. I will choose bookings around that schedule to ensure that I am free. Tuesdays I don’t work, so I would be completely free. Most days I would be free in the morning or evening. I am ready to help and meet new animals!! I work part time at Publix, but will definitely be able to dog sit. I have lots of free time and am excited to spend it with animals. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs, but one lives with my mom. One dog is in home with me. They are both friendly.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for years, and caring for them is something I have extensive hands-on experience with. My family and I currently have five dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, so I’m very comfortable adapting to the individual needs of each dog. Two of our dogs are rescues that I personally adopted through a North Florida dog rescue that I have been helping run for the past three years. My rescue experience has given me the opportunity to work with hundreds of dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I have experience handling everything from puppies and high-energy dogs to large, strong dogs, shy or fearful dogs, and dogs who may need a little extra patience while adjusting to a new environment. Through rescue, I have helped with fostering, daily care, feeding, walking, medication and preventatives, adoption events, transporting dogs, coordinating foster homes, and helping dogs transition from shelters or difficult situations into safe and loving homes. Working in rescue has also taught me how important it is to pay close attention to a dog’s body language, routine, personality, and comfort level. I understand that every dog is different, and I always approach new dogs with patience and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m also very accustomed to following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, medication instructions, and any other directions an owner provides. In addition to my rescue experience, I previously provided pet care through Rover throughout the summer of 2023. I loved the experience, but took a break when I returned to college in North Florida. Now that I have graduated and am back in Miami permanently, I’m excited to begin offering pet care again! Above all, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. As a lifelong dog owner, rescue volunteer, and dog mom myself, I treat every dog I care for with the same attention, patience, safety, and love that I would want someone to give my own. Whether your dog is 10 pounds or 100 pounds, outgoing or shy, a couch potato or full of energy, I’m confident and comfortable making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾♥️ I currently work 9-5 during the week, and am available in the evenings or weekends to help care for your pets! Let me know if this is what you are looking for! I live in miami lakes in a home with a huge yard for your dog to roam around in! I also own a few other dogs for them to play with.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I've been dog sitting for over a year and had my own dogs for more than 7 years. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I don't see Rover as just a job, it's more like a hobby that I really enjoy. Since I can't have a dog of my own right now, caring for other people's dogs allows me to enjoy their company and give them lots of love and attention I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I live in a spacious home with a large backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. Since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow each pet's routine and owner's instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care ❤️🐶

About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds since I was young, including two dogs and my own cat. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family, ensuring they’re fed, walked, and happy. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for two consecutive summers, gaining hands on experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’m comfortable with young puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I treat every animal with love and patience. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a full-time student at FSU with a part-time job, I manage my schedule carefully and have plenty of availability. I don’t have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me large blocks of free time, and even on class days I have breaks that allow me to check in, play with, and care for pets. I also have open weekends, so I’m able to dedicate as much time as needed to ensure pets are well cared for, active, and happy. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and energy level to understand what they need, whether that’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship and a calm presence. My goal is to create a trusting environment where pets feel relaxed, attended to, and happy.
About: I grew up around hunting dogs and have a passion for all of God’s creatures. I am especially experienced with English Pointers, English Setters, English Cockers, Tea Cup Poodles, and Labrador Retriever. I’m currently in a transitional phase of my life, making my schedule highly adaptable to fit the needs of your pup! I’m also a dad of four boys who all have experience with and love dogs.

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 Capitola. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Capitola after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
