“Michael is punctual, a great communicator, and it’s obvious he loves animals. Meeko took to him right away and looked forward to his walks. He would fall asleep before Michael could pull away in his car! I HIGHLY recommend Michael and will definitely reach again should the need arise.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and many more pets my entire life. I consider pets as part of the family and love them so much! I have been involved in animal rescue and rehabilitation since I was 10 years old. I have multiple years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and other pets. I have even cared for medically complicated dogs and cats. I have experiencing with animals that have had diabetes, heart disease, muscular skeletal disease, and many more ailments. I am very comfortable with administering medication. Currently my dog has epilepsy so I understand and empathize with the extra love and care required when treating medical conditions. I love animals more than anything, and love to care for them. My schedule is open during weekdays. Sometimes I am able to be available on weekends with enough of a notice. Please just let me know! I have a fenced in backyard and have multiple leashes, poop bags and other pet care tools of my own, that I always keep on hand.
“Jennifer was awesome! She sent me a picture of my dog on her walk and also left a note to let me know how everything went while she was there. I will be using Jennifer again!”
“Hope walks our dog Riggins twice a week and is always on time, consistent, and our dog loves her visits! He usually is an anxiety-ridden dog, but warmed up to Hope so quickly and it was a great relief for us as I started to return to the office. Highly recommend her!”
About: Let me care for your fur baby as if it were my own! I have owned dogs, cats and horses and am excited to get to know yours! I'm transitioning out of corporate America so am available Monday-Fridays from 8am-4pm but can flex those hours if needed. Look forward to taking care of your pet! I can accommodate almost any pet need and will treat your home with the utmost care and respect. Gates, keys, whatever you have, I'll take care of it like it were my own.
About: I have the cutest dog in the world, next to yours, anyway. I have 25 years experience as a veterinary technician. I promise to spoil your baby like I do my own. I will let them jump on the furniture and throw the ball. I am pretty strict about no people food, but will give dog treats and some veggies, if allowed. Rudy loves other dogs and would enjoy having a friend around. I can also medicate if needed, including injections. I have some mobility issues, so can only keep small dogs. I have cats, but they will tolerate new dogs in the house. I am happy to help with basic training, as long as we agree on style. Looking forward to meeting your pet!!
About: Dogs are family, and I'll treat your pooch as such. I've had my own dogs and looked after friend's and neighbor's. I'll make sure that we all get the exercise we need. We don't deserve dogs, but I am so glad they're a part of our lives. I have a flexible work from home schedule. I make my own hours. I have my own dog and we have our daily activities, so I can make room for more friends. We have a fenced in back and side yard covered in synthetic grass. We have a gate available for our stairs if needed, and we can crate as necessary. Feel free to ask about anything!
About: We have owned and have cared for dogs our whole lives. With my (Kayla) first dog I learned to care for dogs with more intensive needs as she became paralyzed and had multiple surgeries. After that I had experience caring for multiple dogs at once with 2 yorkie siblings. Blake has experience with dogs of all sizes as well as experience with training dogs. Now, we own a Newfoundland/Poodle mix and she is our pride and joy. She is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. We have a dog park at our apartment complex so your dog would get all of the exercise they need. We know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your fur baby with someone else and we promise to put your mid at ease as much as we can! I am currently a student doing clinical rotations so I work 4- 10 hour shifts. My husband works 12 hour shifts a couple times a week. That being said, your dog will be home with someone most of the time and if not we have cameras watching the dogs at all times. We have 1 dog who is 3 years old who is very friendly with other dogs and always wants to play so be ready for a tired pup once your trip is over. Our dog is crated when we leave the house but we are happy to accommodate however you have trained your dog when you leave your home.
“Laurel-Ann was great with our two larger than life pups! Even when one wasn’t feeling good, she kept me in the loop with detailed updates and pictures. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Emily is amazing! She has become our regular dog walker for our reacue pup Yoshi. Because he is a rescue, he came to us very sick. She took his kennel cough on in stride and without my asking she offered to confirm for me that he was passing worms in his stool! Seriously, that is above and beyond!!! I feel as though she cares for him as much as I do - letting me know when his behavior is off and alerting me to his needs. She takes great pictures and communicates well. I was skeptical about giving my house key to someone I didnt know - she set me at ease at our meet and greet and was tje best decision we made after taling Yoshi home. Hire her! She is our go to for midday walks.”
About: I've taking care of dogs since I'm 5 years old. There's when I got my first dog. She had a baby and we kept him with us. So my entire life I've have had dogs. I've been a volunteer in an animal shelter for 2 years and I really like dogs I work online so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs. I'm very flexible because my schedule at my work is very flexible too. I like walking dogs and play with them. I consider myself very lovely and sweet 😊 And very creative when it's time to play and teach them some tricks
About: We have been around animals all our life since living on a small family dairy farm including 4-H as a kid. We can care for all types of animals. We can administrator shots and pills. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. My husband is retired and loves animals as well. So your fur baby will get 2 for 1 as he also loves to care for animals too. Pets are less stressed and relax more when in their own home. While you are away you know your pets are being well cared for in their own environment.
“Jessica was wonderful! She graciously did drop ins and walks with our energetic Aussie for 7 days, with less than a week’s notice. She is very communicative, sent several photos per visit with a little blurb of what they did. Jessica asked good questions, followed up, and paid close attention to Biscuit and his needs. We will definitely be booking again!”

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 Cathcart. 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 .

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.
