We’d absolutely book with her again.”

About: I am the proud owner of a Boston Terrier and have taken care of animals for many years. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats, as well as used Rover for my own dog. I am available for drop-in visits and dog walking afternoons and evenings during the week, depending on my work schedule. Send me a message so we can connect and work out a plan for your pet.

I stay alert on walks, keep dogs close when needed, wait for pedestrian signals before crossing, and pay attention to our surroundings.

I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated, including letting you know if I notice anything unusual about your dog’s behavior or well-being.

Felipe was very helpful, patient, and kind with my energetic dog! I really appreciated how understanding and attentive he was. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Vivian is great. I have 3 large dogs (2 of them are over 100 pounds) and she didn’t flinch about walking them. She came exactly when she said she would, sent me updates and took great care of them. I can highly recommend Vivian and look forward to using her again.
Zoe and Alec are great!! They were able to work around our tight schedule with ease! Zoe took Fig on a nice long walk and hung out with him inside and made sure he was comfy with sw treats and his favorite show before heading out! Will definitely be asking for their help in the future!
Victor has been an excellent dog walker for Louise so far. He’s responsible, communicative, and flexible and it’s such peace of mind knowing that my pup has a buddy that is checking in on her during the work day. We are really looking forward to continuing to work with Victor.

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 College Park. 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.
