About: I have studied and completed my nutrition course for the past two years. I am in the process of going back to school to become a veterinarian. Live to study about animals and keep up to date on caring for them. I have walked pets, monitored their health and nutrition, have sitting at my home for other families and friends who have gone on vacation, I love playing and interacting with dogs, taken them to appointments, and listen to what the owner's pets wants and need are. I place great importance in taking care of the pet(s) needs and wants. I love to bake and try to find good nutritional treats for the training and praising of the pet. Most of all, I am very enthusiastic about taking of new pets and learning their habits and way of living.
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 40 years and have spent more than 30 years caring for pets for friends and family. My mom runs a cat rescue and is a former vet tech, which gave me a strong understanding of proper, attentive pet care from an early age. I’m also a trusted real estate agent with over 23 years of experience, which reflects my commitment to being reliable and trustworthy. I take pride in being genuine, well-liked, and someone people can depend on. I have a flexible work schedule and am highly organized when it comes to managing appointments and commitments. If I am unable to assist, I will always respond promptly so you can make other arrangements without delay. I am happy to provide care in your home and follow all instructions you provide to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and needs, and I take care to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as directed.
About: When you choose me to care for your pet, you’re choosing a passionate and experienced pet lover who prioritizes not only your pet’s comfort and happiness, but also your peace of mind. I understand how important your furry family member is to you, and I strive to provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love they receive from you. While you’re away, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe, caring hands, with updates provided to ensure you remain connected to their well-being. I have experience caring for younger animals with energetic needs who require frequent playtime. I’ve also dedicated time to caring for senior pets, providing them with gentle exercise, extra comfort, and making any necessary dietary adjustments to support their health and comfort. Currently, I care for a 17-year-old cat who requires more delicate care. Additionally, my background includes working with anxious pets, where I’ve applied my professional clinical experience to soothe, calm, and build their confidence, helping them feel more secure in unfamiliar environments. I work from home and run my own business, so my availability can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’m flexible with scheduling and can provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs midday walks or frequent drop-in visits, I’m happy to help make things easier for you. I will offer whatever service and care is most similar to your pets current environment. If you would like them crated, I am able to accommodate. However, if you are more comfortable with your pet having more freedom within your home or my home, I am happy to provide that environment as well!
“Alyssa was able to accommodate my last minute booking request and was great with communication before and during service. My dog is highly anxious and she did wonderful with her! She took the time to ask questions and get to know her and what she needed.”

About: Animals are an integral part of my life. In addition to pet sitting, I have three dogs & two cats of my own and I foster for Coffee & Paws Rescue, Inc. I’ve also cared for wild residents of a rehabilitation facility in Brazil, injured birds at the Tales & Scales Aviary at Cunningham Falls State Park, horses at a local barn where I volunteered as a teen and again when volunteered with rescue horses at The Mule Shack, LLC., the three dogs I lived with growing up (including palliative care for my last dog who I spent 2 years helping through degenerative myelopathy using diapers and a wheelchair), and my friends’ cats. I work a flexible remote schedule, so I can be available almost any time I’m needed. Between my pets and the dogs I’m fostering, I usually have several animals in the house, but I maintain a separate space for boarding furry friends to ensure they’re comfortable while staying with me. I am safety oriented and will do everything in my power to keep your pets comfortable in your absence. I have a cat who takes every opportunity to attempt to escape, so I’m skilled at entering and exiting homes to ensure the animal occupants stay inside unless they’re properly leashed to go out.
About: I have 5 years of professional pet-care experience working in a doggy daycare, along with 10 years of experience providing dog walking and sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, as well as all energy levels — including very high-energy dogs. I offer dog walking, playtimes, and dog sitting. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I have experience administering pills and am open to learning how to care for dogs with additional needs while carefully following their specific care instructions. I’m a student at Towson University and a mom, so my schedule is planned around my classes and family responsibilities. I’m happy to communicate my availability in advance and work with you to find times that fit your dog’s routine. I’m flexible with walks, playtimes, and sitting, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule and daily routine. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for dogs in a professional daycare environment. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including dogs who need lots of exercise and stimulation. I always follow the owner’s instructions and pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs while they’re in my care.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats on different occasions for my neighbors and family members many times since I was a kid. I have taken care of them for multiple weeks while their families have been out of town. I'm currently a full-time college student at UBalt.

About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.
About: I have 5+ years of dog walking/sitting experience. I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter and love being around and taking care of dogs. I will love your dog like he/she is my own. If your dog isn't comfortable staying with me, I will come to their happy place. I love to cuddle and will guarantee your dog will be in great hands. I am the perfect temporary companion for your dog! I will also spoil your dog with all the love and affection and probably too many treats. I also have some experience with dog training and can work on commands that he/she already knows and possibly teach them something new! As an added bonus, I am a photographer and will spoil you with all the amazingly adorable photos of your fur baby while they are in my care. I work part-time so there is plenty of time for me to take your dog on a walk or simply let out for a potty walk while with you are at work or away from home. Unfortunately I am unable to host your pets at my home, due my current dog, but I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will clean up after myself, tidy up, and make sure to pick up any poop in the yard and of course on walks. I am here to help give your dog a well-deserved potty break, walk or fun adventure while you are away. I was on staff and currently volunteer at an animal shelter so you can trust I will care for your pets in the most humane and safe way possible.
About: I have been pet sitting/walking since I was 9 years old. It is one of the best jobs ever. I love helping out everyone in my neighborhood with their animals all the time. Usually I will go and care for the dogs when families are away which includes any needs you need met for your fur baby. Most regularly I will go and spend time with a dog and give them what they need if you are gone for a long amount of time. I will be open to staying overnight with the dogs or cats if requested. Whether it is extra medical needs or extra attention I will make sure to fulfill their needs. I work on weekdays from 8:45-4:00pm. Sometimes 1-6pm, I work multiple jobs so just let me know what would work best for you! During the mid summer it changes and I work 11:45-6pm until the end of the summer. I am very open with any needs that you have around my work times whether needing a late or early visit in the day, I usually will make it my goal to make sure your dogs get the proper limit of time alone without someone in the house. My family has owned dogs before I was born, and we are fairly educated on canine care. My dog is crate and yard trained. My family strives with having happy and disciplined dogs. We make sure to give our pets, or should I say spoil, lots of toys and love. I have been around dogs my entire life, so I am very understanding of any special needs needing to be met.

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 Clayton. 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.
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.
