About: I've spent my whole life with dogs and cats, and some crazier pets like snakes or even a tarantula! My dad has a tendency to get pets he can't afford... but it certainly taught me to take care of animals! I work full-time, and would love to spend my days off meeting and caring for pets (as well as making a little extra lol... things are expensive!) I have two indoor cats who I love love love! They've got lots and lots of toys, and I love playing with them :) I grew up with a dog who unfortunately had to stay with my parents after I moved out, but I absolutely loved him and playing with him too!
“Thank you Audrey for helping out with Terra on such short notice (and on a holiday weekend, to boot!)! I really appreciate you! Fast, friendly communication. Very attentive to our needs & special requests. Terra was perfectly happy when I got home from my trip!”
About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.
About: I love pets of all kinds and sizes! I have done dog sitting for many family members with many different breeds in their homes, and have done drop/in visits for friends when they’re away. I have also done overnight stays for many nights for my sister, who has 2 dogs and a cat. I currently work as salon manager at a tanning salon which a varying schedule. However, I always have Fridays off and am available for pet care all day on Fridays! Wednesdays and Thursdays I am available anytime before noon! I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention! I have a two bedroom apartment, so there is plenty of room for play.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️
About: I have been taking care of my 18-year-old cat since she was born. She has recently gone deaf and requires more attention. For two years, I frequently took care of a family with 5 children and 2 Great Danes. I give my cat attention daily, making sure she feels loved and content. This often includes filling her food, water, and changing her litter box, as well as many pets and cuddles. I would love to walk, play with, and take care of your pets. At home, I make sure my cat has a clean litter box and plenty of attention.
About: I have loved and have been owned by many animals for all of my 61 years. Caring for them is an honor I cherish greatly! I taught high school for almost 30 years at Concordia Lutheran High School and almost 8 years as a social worker. I’ve absolutely adored my students and clients and would like to shower my love on your pet-angel(s) as well! I have recently retired from my careers as a high school teacher and from social work. What this means is that I now have ample time to spend with your pet(s) each weekday and weeknight as well as on the weekends! create my own schedule on an as-needed basis for you…plus I usually have weekends free for ample time with your pet. I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit and send updates each night so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.
About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.
“Natasha is my go-to for my dog walking needs! She is flexible and works with me and my crazy schedule, and best of all my doggo loves her. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends me during her visits - it’s a relief to me during a long day at work to know that I don’t have to worry about my pup.”

About: I have had pets my whole entire life and helped my dad and stepmom with their dog rescue. I love being around animals more than people ;-) Currently not working and wanting to only do things that bring me joy. Animals do that for me 100% and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard for my Bailey, our 1 and half year old Saint Berdoodle who absolutely loves everyone.

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 Defiance. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Defiance.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
