About: I have a deaf dog that is 10 years old who is my best friend and she learns with hand signals. I love every dog and treat them like they're my own. You can trust that I'm the one for your best friend. As of now my schedule is very open and flexible. We can set up a schedule that works best for you and your pup to get the job done properly. I am available to go to your home and check on your dog as often as needed. I will give them walks as often as they're use to in a neighborhood you're comfortable with. Also, if you have a fenced in yard, I am wiling to let them out and play with them there as well.
“Gill was able to do a meet-and-greet with us and walk Poppy on short notice! It is reassuring knowing that our puppy was able to have great care right off the get-go. Gill sent us pictures and gave us a descriptive update on how the walk went while we weren't home. We appreciate her love for animals and the thoroughness of care!”

About: Whether you own a cat or a dog or some other pet, every pet owner knows that our animals play a key role in our life. They are there through thick and thin, always wanting to provide comfort and pure love, while requesting it all in return as it is much deserved.

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 Columbia. 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.

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.

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.
