“Jade is an excellent and very caring animal lover who goes above and beyond to make sure our mini poodle, Ruthie is taken care of. She is trustworthy, reliable and kind. We highly recommend her!”


“My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!”


“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”


“I am so grateful for the amazing care Caroline gave my dog! This was their first time meeting, and my dog absolutely loved her. Despite the tricky weather, she was incredibly patient, waiting for the rain to pass so she could still give my dog a proper walk. I truly appreciate how kind, sweet, and thoughtful she was throughout. I couldn’t be happier with my first experience on Rover .. we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”


About: My entire life, I've been around animals of all sorts. From Small, loud, and feisty chihuahuas to big, stoic, and strong Pitbulls. I've owned cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits before and each one has only made my love and care of all animals grow each day. I'm available full time, 24/7 for whatever your pet needs may be. Any request you have, I can get it done and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they want and need. Walks, play, cuddles, or personal space. I'm also immune to the eyes by this point.

“I can't say enough about how wonderful Mykaela and her mom have been. They take such GREAT care of Ruby. From all the pictures I get , I can see how happy she is. Thank you for showing her so much love!”


“Anthony is fantastic with our dog, Maverick! Maverick is a bit anxious with new people but finding out that our neighbor was on rover was perfect for him! Anthony is super responsive and easy to book with and very reliable! He is understanding of Maverick’s leash reactivity and making sure that Maverick is safe and happy on his walks is his top priority. We recommend Anthony’s services and are excited to continue to book with him for our dog!”


About: I love Animals! ♡ I am blessed to remember a childhood with animals; from dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, bunnies, etc. I love all breeds of dogs (especially Pugs)!! I love being in the presence of animals and embrace their unconditional love; of course reciprocating the same love to your furry friend. Although I am currently trying to make extra income, I thoroughly enjoy spending time with animals and those who love animals as much as I do. I treat all animals with respect and dignity. My home has one black pug; who's 8 yrs old and full of energy & cuddles. Nuestra Casa es tu Casa. Thank you for checking my profile and hope to meet your loved one(s) soon. "Be Kind to One Another". xoxo Zuly & Benji I work full time; petcare happens before/after work. Weekends- petcare occurs all day! We do dog parks at least once or twice a week; or make sure to run around outdoors. I care for all pets with the utmost respect and dignity. I am gentle and try my best to read all cues the animal gives off.

“First time working with Kelsey. Would definitely hire her again to walk and take care of our pups. She was punctual kept us posted and even towel dried them back at home after being caught in the rain during their walk. She was perfect!”


About: Hey there! I’m Gabie 👋🏽—a dog-loving nurse with a leash in one hand and treats in the other. When I’m not caring for people, I’m out making tails wag and paws prance. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, including my own four-legged best friend, Hana 🐶, so your pup is in very good hands. As a nurse, I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for those who can’t always speak up—which makes me a natural when it comes to dogs. Whether your pup is a speedy explorer, a sniff-every-bush kind of walker, or just needs some gentle company, I’m here to give them the exercise, love, and attention they need. Reliable, caring, and always ready with belly rubs—I’d love to be your dog’s new favorite part of the day! Let’s make walk time the best time of their day. 🐾 As a full time ICU nurse, I work a few long shifts a week, which actually gives me several full days off to dedicate to pet care. I plan my schedule so I can give each dog plenty of time and attention—whether that’s a good walk before or after work, or longer hangouts on my off days. Spending time with dogs is honestly one of my favorite ways to unwind. It doesn’t feel like a chore—it’s something I look forward to. I make sure every pup I care for gets the love, exercise, and companionship they need, no matter how busy life gets. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—like part of the family. I follow your routines closely, because I know how much pets thrive on familiarity. That means feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and even little habits like where they like to nap or how they like to be greeted. In my home, pets have a calm, cozy space to relax and play, with plenty of attention and snuggles. I keep things clean, safe, and stress-free. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s environment peaceful and secure. Whether it’s giving meds, cleaning up muddy paws, or just sitting with them while they rest, I care for every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs.

About: I am here to walk your pup when you are busy, tired, or simply unavailable. I believe outdoor time allows dogs to relax from the self-inflicted pressure of always looking out for us, and allows them to simply be a dog for a short while, sniffing and prancing and watching the world. As an introverted individual, I get a lot of joy and energy out of my time with animals. While I have often been described as quiet and easy-going, I am a natural leader and enjoy forming new relationships with dogs (and their lucky owners). More than anything, I am dependable, happy-natured, and I desperately need more walks in my life. I would be delighted to take some of the pressure off of being a pet parent, and shed a little love on your pet! I have knowledge in basic training, medication dispensing, and wound care. I currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to stay and play! My schedule changes weekly depending on my client load, but I am always happy to try to work something out! I have an unfenced yard, as well as rooms to separate animals as needed. I’m happy to discuss and adapt to any special needs your fur baby may have.

“I had the pleasure of having Sasha walk my dogs for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed. I appreciate her commitment to making sure my pets had a great experience. I’m looking forward to having Sasha walk my dogs again and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and reliable pet walker.”


About: I have taken care of friends dogs/mostly cats since I was about 16 and I give the love and attention to their pets as if they were my own. My senior cat requires extra care and needs vitamins so I am extra attentive to that. I spend about 90% of my time interacting with my animals since I work from home . I am currently working from home with a-lot of downtime during the day and am able to step out if need be at any point! my schedule is incredibly flexible I do not mess around when it comes to my babies (papa & ziggy) they are my world maybe spoiled but rightfully so! I am a loving cat mom I rescued both my boys and many other animals in the past. Pet care is incredibly important to me, since they do not have voices we need to be their voice

About: Availability: All day (occasional 4-6 hr shifts) I’m a teacher with my summer off and lots of free time. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and I believe care and comfort is best achieved through maintaining consistency for your pet and providing them with plenty of attention, making sure they get fed on time, have their daily walks, and most importantly got some affection and playtime from me as well. I moved over to Rover from TrustedHouseSitters where my partner and I house/pet sit for others. I have housesit for 9 different hosts for a total of 90 nights, caring for both cats and dogs, and we had a 5-star review from all of our hosts which you can see in my pictures. My experience as a teacher has prepped me for taking care of people’s little ones at the same time and I hope to bring that experience with me when I get to know you and your pet! I enjoy running, so if your have a very active dog that would enjoy going on a run with me, I would be happy to take them with me in the morning or evening. Summer just started so I’m available with enough notice most times of day and would be happy to spend time with your pets on weekends! With my experience housesitting, I'm used to caring for pets and a host's home! I'm communicative and love sending updates/pictures of how everyone is doing. I prioritize maintaining a clean space, a set feeding and walking schedule, and spending time with the dogs to give them good company. I'm careful when it comes to walks and stick to the sidewalks, quiet roads, and parks. I am male, so if your dog is aggressive around men, please keep my safety in mind as well.

About: I have many experience taking care of pets. I want pets to have a great experience. Therefore, I take the experience of pets very seriously. For Summer, I have a lot of availability. I cannot wait to take care of your dog or cat! I look forward to providing the best care possible for your loved one. I am very understanding and know how important pets are. Therefore, I would like to know how I can provide the best care for your pet.

About: Hi there! My name is Valeria, and I’m currently a law student with a passion for animals. I’ve had the joy of owning a dog in the past and currently share my home with a wonderful cat. With my sister being a veterinarian, I have a solid understanding of pet care and their unique needs. I’m dedicated to providing a loving and attentive environment for your furry friends. Plus, my schedule is flexible, so I’m available to accommodate your pet's needs. Currently I am a student so my schedule is flexible. I live close to campus so I am never more than three hours away from my home. I care for pets in my home by applying the notes the owner gives me. I understand that pets may feel uncomfortable in a new setting so I want to make it as comfortable as possible.

“Thank you Abby for getting Guinness out for a much needed walk!! He definitely calmed down after being out!! lol Appreciate the pics.. I will be sure to call on you again before you leave.. Thanks again”

Veva "Beth" Y.
“What a great service to help us find wonderful people to love our pets! Beth is an amazing, vibrant young lady with an obvious deep love for all animals! She is responsible, attentive and reliable! I have a cat and a very needy and mischievous 100+lb Alaskan malamute (Kaya)... It's not always easy to find someone able/willing to take on such a challenge. However, Beth has been wonderful and always gives Kaya all the love and pampering she thinks she deserves lol Kaya is always excited to see Beth and I know my pets always well taken care of when Beth watches them for me. She has a very kind, loving spirit, I would definitely recommend her to care for your fur-babies! - Kerri”

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times

- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services.
