“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Morgan is the BEST! She is communicative, reliable, replies quickly, and has rolled with all of my schedule changes which I really appreciate.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and my understanding of the patience and attention they need at every stage of life. I grew up with two Border Collies who both lived to be 13 years old, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs as well as the needs that come with caring for a senior dog. One of my dogs developed arthritis as he got older, so I understand the importance of being patient with dogs experiencing pain or mobility issues and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and comfort. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll treat your dog like family, follow their routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of patience, attention, exercise, and affection while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule because I work as a freelance gardener, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to dedicate time to visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship rather than having to fit pet care into a rigid schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and can be flexible with visit times and routines. I’ll make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedule, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. I understand that being in their own home can help pets feel more comfortable, so I’ll give them the care and companionship they need while respecting their space and routines. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and be attentive to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have grown up caring for dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I've volunteered at many rescues for the past 30 years and have a lot of experience watching friends' and neighbors' dogs. I currently work from home all day, every day, so am available for full time in-home care. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to take your doggos on walks or just visit them at your home throughout the day. I have a large, fenced backyard with a security camera. The backyard has plenty of room to run and play and is located on a beautiful greenbelt with lots of opportunities to watch squirrels and other dogs walk by. I also have a large home, with multiple large kennels in a quiet room, if needed, for nap time. I have 2 small dogs that are very friendly and love to play!
“Audrey is extremely communicative and professional. She completed a meet and greet with us and asked such well thought out questions that I knew she would take great care of my dog.”
“Noah is absolutely wonderful. He is so patient with our pup, he cleaned up when we had an incident with poop in the crate. He cleaned up, reached out and asked where the cleaning products were, made sure our pup wasn’t soiled. We really appreciate his help and how well he is with our girl”
About: As an animal lover, I've had dogs, cats, and small animals all my life. As a current cat owner, I know how lonely they get when left alone. So during my visit, I try my best to give as much stimulation and companionship as possible. During daily visit I'll I'll spoil them silly by giving tons of pets, attention, or - as some cats prefer - simple companionship. And of course I'll send photos. Your beloved fur balls will be in good hands. I used to foster cats for a private rescue so I'm familiar with cats of all ages and temperaments. I've had cats with asthma and chronic health issues so I'm familiar with giving asthma medication, sub q fluids, oral medications including pills. Note for pet rat owners: I LOVE rats! I don't currently have any, but I'd love to take care of them. I'm also very good with bunnies, hamsters, mice, etc. If you have well behaved dogs, I'm happy to take care of them too: give them potty breaks or walk around the neighborhood. Got any other animals? Ask me. I love all animals equally and will spoil them equally. I realise that it is an honor and privilege to have your trust in the care I provide to your cats and home. I'm reliable, responsive, a home owner, and a professional. Rest assured that I'll be taking care of your furbabies and home the way I do my own. I currently work as a freelancer from home so I have flexible schedule. Let me know how many visits you need and what time, and I'll work with your routine. Pets thrive on routine so I'll work with you to provide them with as close of a sense of normalcy as possible. I'll give them plenty of love in addition to their feeding/bathroom needs.
“Ion took such great care of our dog Eevie and gave great updates! She can be kind of a nervous dog but she got comfortable with him right away. We'll definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Ion!”
“Polina is more than a walker to my dog Zoro, she gives him attention and love. I hired her multiple days while out of town and definitely gonna hire her again!”
“We had a great experience with Paige! She was excellent at communicating before, during, and after every walk, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She always left thoughtful updates about what they worked on together and how things went. Our dog is a newly adopted shelter pup with lots of energy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about giving her the attention, structure, and care she needs. You can tell she truly loves dogs and takes her work seriously. We really appreciated her patience, reliability, and the effort she put into helping our rambunctious boy thrive. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay is the best!! I’d like to continue to share my duties with Lindsay but now it’s my turn to turn up the dial. My procedure was denied Lindsay so now I must go this alone before I lose any more muscle mass. Happy Birthday to you Aug 14th. I’ll be in touch if we need to resume. Thank you!!!”
“Thank you Nikki for giving our boy Rusty his afternoon walk! We loved the pictures you sent and update. Thank you for putting our minds at ease while we are traveling without him.”
“Logan is an excellent dog walker—attentive to my dog’s needs and great with all kinds of dogs, including our energetic puppy. He’s reliable, gets the walks done in a timely manner, and always makes sure the dogs are well cared for. I really appreciate that he takes photos during each visit—it gives me peace of mind and makes my day. I highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!”
About: My weekday availability is any time after 4pm. I am available on weekends at any time! Safety is my top priority so you can relax while you're away knowing they're in good hands. My weekday availability is any time after 4pm. I am available on weekends at any time! Open to walks and dropins during these times! I am completely available on weekends My wife and I live in a one bedroom apartment, but our connected living room and 'dining room' (we leave it open for the extra space) are wide with plenty of room to roam and play!

Regina was absolutely wonderful with my puppy! Since she’s a shelter dog, it takes her a little extra time to feel comfortable with new people, and Regina was so patient and gave her the time and space she needed. She always sends the best progress updates about their walks and how my puppy is doing, which really puts me at ease. The pictures she sends are the sweetest, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Ashley is amazing! She is reliable and has excellent communication. You can tell she really loves her work. She is observant and even took a little extra time to refill my pups water bowl at the end of their walk. This is the second time I have hired her and won’t be the last!
Great walk with Alexandra! This was her first time watching Angus and Guinness, and she did a wonderful job getting to know both of them over the two days. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly comfortable with dogs of different personalities. Angus and Guinness came back happy from their walks. Will definitely book her again!
I have nothing but good things to say about Ion. Right away during the initial interaction our dog Dulce, who is normally timid with new people, immediately trusted him and felt comfortable around him. He showed up at the agreed times and took her on her walks and provided plenty of updates and photos and accommodated any requests. Would highly recommend Ion if you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like his own.

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 Castlewood. 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.

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.
