About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.
About: I have had pets growing up and enjoy them and their company. Oddly enough while walking anywhere if there is an animal it will approach me. My wife says I have "Disney Princess" skills. I have two dogs that I care for everyday throughout the day, however, for others my evenings are the best times to during the week, and anytime during the weekend. I ensure I have a clean home, and monitor what my dogs are around to include knowing what can and cannot come into the house. Having a safe and clean environment allows for a helathy life for pets who are family.
“Marina is incredibly responsive and provided wonderful care for my old dog. I can tell my dog likes her visits and walks. Marina is attentive, asks questions, and overall very caring. Highly recommend Marina!”
About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

I work mainly home and can easily care for the pet throughout the week at any flexible hours whenever in need of having a pet sitter except Wednesday since I am required to work in office, if Wednesday would like to book, please book at anytime after 5:30pm I am available. I feed them, look after them, and ensure they are in a safe environment when in my care. I also have a big yard outside my apartment for them to play, run, and enjoy the fresh air when outside with me.
“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”
About: I’ve had love for animals my entire life, I love caring for animals of all types. Many of my family members who own animals rely on me to feed, play, and bathe their fur babies. I’m currently searching for a job, so as of now I am available every day of the week including weekends at all times of the day. I do have a fenced backyard with enough space to move around in, I also will take your pet out at night to allow them to use the bathroom if needed.
“We were going out of town for a few days so we needed someone to walk our dog while we were away. Amanda was nothing but amazing. She quickly responded with any questions I had and the photos she took were so great to see. The biggest win is that Phoebe (our 70lb American Staffordshire Terrier) loved being around Amanda. Everyone had such positive things to say about Amanda. We will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies.

During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly!

About: Loving, Experienced Care for Your Dogs 🐾 I’ve been around dogs and caring for family dogs since I was 10 years old, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I treat my dogs like family my dog Hunter and my dog Rose is truly like my children and I would provide that same level of love, attention, and care to your dog. I’m currently available and working from home, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends depending on your scheduling needs. I have a fully vaccinated household with just myself, my husband, and our two dogs, Hunter and Rose. Hunter is a very friendly, well-behaved dog who enjoys going to the dog park almost every day. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities and is also very friendly with people and children. Rose is our sweet girl who is lovely, affectionate, and incredibly smart. She has a wonderful personality and is comfortable around other dogs. Both Hunter and Rose are used to being part of our everyday family life, so visiting dogs will have plenty of opportunities for companionship and socialization if they are comfortable with it. A Comfortable, Dog-Friendly Home I have a home with a private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I **pick up after the dogs every day** to keep the yard clean and comfortable. They have elevated dog beds for relaxing, a kiddie pool filled with toys for playtime, and a backyard fan to help keep them comfortable when spending time outside. Dogs staying with us will also have **24/7 access to the inside of our home through a large doggy door**, so they can move freely between the house and backyard whenever they need to. They will be treated as part of the family and are welcome to spend as much time indoors as they want. In addition to plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day, visiting dogs will receive **at least one walk every day**, with additional activity and outdoor time depending on their individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is to make every dog staying with us feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home while their family is away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, loving care in a home environment. In addition I send pictures and videos daily to give you updates on how your doggy is doing. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because my dogs are a big part of my everyday life. I’m currently available during the week and have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also make sure the yard is cleaned daily and that the dogs have a safe, comfortable environment to relax and play. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for while their families are away. I care for pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, meals, and potty breaks. In my home, they have access to a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor and outdoor space. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

I have also lived with family pets (two other cats and one dog). I love going for walks and I would have our family dog tag along all the time and would take care of her when the family was busy. I have experience in giving oral medication to cats + following a medication/feeding schedule. I’m currently working full time, Monday-Friday, I’m available to walk and care for pets during my work breaks, evenings during the week, or any time during the weekend. I provide a loving environment to any animal I come across. I want them to feel safe and comfortable enough to trust that I am a friend!

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 Central. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
