“The best dog walker! Samantha worked with us for almost 3 years doing dog walks for our pup during the week. She is fantastic, goes above and beyond, and our dog absolutely loves her. We are sad to have her leave us!”
About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
About: I have a dog and three cats, I do school online and have a very open schedule. I grew up with animals and babysit frequently. I’ve watched rabbits to horses and everything in between. I am currently in school and have a very open schedule. I am able to come and stop by or watch overnight. I am very reliable and have my own transportation. I have fostered a wonderful environment for my pets at home. My dogs fully trained on and off leash. He has excellent recall and trust with me. My cats are all free range in the house and we have gates put in place so they can have their own space. While watching others pets I am very proactive and careful of where I bring them and watch them carefully.
About: I’ve worked at an animal boarding facility for a year. I have experience with giving dogs medications, feeding, walking, enrichment and grooming! I’ve also been pet sitting for 2 years. I currently have an open schedule so anytime I am available! I want to focus myself more on animals and the opportunity to take care of them! I treat all of my clients with the same respect I would want them to treat me! I will love your animals and take care of them just like they’re my own!
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. I’ve fostered animals, dog and pet sat, and I have two dogs of my own. I am a college student home for the summer trying to raise money for school. I am excited to help families and meet new animals! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of pups! I either work 8am-1pm or 4pm-8pm on weekdays so I could dog-sit before or after work depending on my shifts and what is needed of me. I have a very flexible schedule and a very open schedule. I can work weekdays or weekends. At home, I have two big rescue dogs that unfortunately aren’t good with other dogs so all pet-sitting will have to be at the client’s home. However, they have given me experience working with reactive and unbehaved dogs so I can provide care for any dog. I have fostered over 10 dogs with my mom from puppies to 12+ aged dogs so I have lots of experience with different breeds, and types of dogs. I am very loving and caring and I love animals so it will be easy for me to love on your pups!

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 Cottage Grove. 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.
