“Mia has been a great walker got my dog. She bonded with him easily and was flexible around weather and My dog’s occasional refusal to walk very far. I will definitely re-hire her and recommend her to others.”
“Cassandra is so great with our dog. She is reactive with other dogs so it’s very important to us to have a dog walker who can handle that. Our dog is so much happier and calmer when Cassandra has walked her that day and the pictures she sends us always make my day.”
About: Tail-wagging care you can count on! I have 20 years of pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet personalities and temperaments and 25 years of loving my own fur babies as well. I specialize in puppy care and basic training reinforcement (housetraining, play based development, leash manners), senior pet care (gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration), and special needs and rescue animals (with an understanding of anxiety, therapeutic support, and slow-trust building). I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, reliability, and plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. You can relax knowing your pet is not only safe, but genuinely cared for. :) I'm currently working part time from home so I prioritize caring for your pet with the same attention I gave to my own pets - making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. I have a fenced yard and an animal-friendly home. Currently there are no other pets in the home because my three fur babies have since passed on after 15-17 years of life. I now have two children (my daughter is 7, and my son is 4) who love animals and are very gentle and caring. If your pet doesn't prefer children, please let me know and I wouldn't bring them with me to care for your pet. :)
“We have been consistently using Beverly since our pup was 3 months old. Beverly does weekly walks for us as well as daycare and overnight stays. Charley loves her Beverly and she has quickly become part of our family.”
About: I was raised in a household filled with dogs, cats, fish and birds and my fascination with and love for animals has never waned. I have more than two years of kennel experience, have received a lot of kisses and cleaned a lot of poop. Proud Cat Daddy to three gorgeous felines. I have a lot of availability. I can do most jobs in the mornings, afternoons or evenings. Morning walks or evening meds - let me be your guy! As a visitor to your home, I'll have the utmost respect for you and your animals' sanctuary. I will always give attention to each and every animal and let no one feel left out.
“Sara's been taking our two pups on daily walks for us. She's great with the dogs, great about communicating walk times, and flexible when we need to switch things up. I couldn't recommend her more!”
About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!
“Jayden was GREAT! This was our first time using Rover for in home services and it was the best experience with Jayden! They were on time, sent updates, and pictures, and cleaned up any mess that was on sight when they arrived. They're friendly and great to work with ! Definitely will be using them from now on!”
About: I grew up with dogs - my Afghan, Kesha, was my first best friend and how I learned to braid (lol). I've cared for Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Cockers, and Min Pins. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for family and neighbors for years, and now my daughters and I are ready to open our peaceful home and fenced yard to pets needing love while their people are away. Our house has a crate, a basement space, and plenty of tail-wagging energy. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered forever. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect. I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector, a home care aide, and an insurance rep, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood. My daughters and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet we care for will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, a crate if needed, and a quiet, unoccupied basement space for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.
About: In the few years I’ve been caring for various animals of my own and others, I feel I treat them as if they are my own human children. I see them as more than pets but companions that deserves a home away from home. I work from home most nights and have plenty of time to care and closely monitor your pets. Playtime is always a given with my own dogs as well I can ensure you that while your pets are in my possession, they are closely monitored and will be entertained. Like stated before I work from home most nights so I’m flexible to work and care at the same time

“Great and communicative service again! Sent pics too:)”
Alexa B.Star Sitter
“I've had Alexa cat sit for us several times when I've gone on vacation. She always takes care to make sure that the cats are fed and that the litter box is cleaned on time. Another nice thing about Alexa is that she also gives the cats plenty of physical activity which is greatly appreciated. One final thing that I want to make a note of is that she is very careful regarding how much she feeds the cats. One of our cats tends to over eat and can be food aggressive, so it is tempting to over feed him. Alexa does not give into his demands and helps him stay on his intended diet.”
Jaden G.
“Omgg I was looking for a sitter for months. If it wasn’t for Jaden watching my Guinea Pigs last min. I would have had to cancel my vacation. I was so excited. Thanks Jaden you really came through”

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Chatham.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. 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
- A map of their walk with total distance
- 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. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
