About: I have had an interest in animals since before I could walk. Growing up watching animal planet over cartoons, I have always been fascinated by creatures of all shapes and sizes. From studying veterinary science, to volunteering at an animal shelter, to working at pet stores, and even reading current veterinary magazines and articles, I strive to continue my passion and involvement with animals. I have experience with complex feeding routines, medication application, as well as behavioral knowledge that I can apply to animals I care for. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your preferences and your pet's needs. I am a freelance artist who builds and manages their own schedule, with a desire to use my love for animals and knowledge of their care to take opportunities to get out of the house and do something I enjoy--- Meeting you and helping to take care of your baby! My schedule is flexible, I am easily able to work around your needs, especially on a repeat schedule. I do travel, but I always have ample notice, and will be able to inform you a month or two in advance if there is a conflict-- and plan a visit for my return! Comfort and safety are my top priorities when I care for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand so that we can become familiar comfortably, and you can tell me all about your routines, preferences, and needs. I love to learn about my clients and what makes them happy!

“Michaela has been taking my girl for walks and she’s been great! I appreciate how she communicates when she’s on her way, and takes care of my girl when they go for their walks. 10/10 recommend 💜”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for in house care/walks everyday but Mondays and Tuesday. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs and a cat to keep your pups company. I have a crate available if needed during their stay.
About: We were raised with large dogs and had medium dogs as adults. Our senior most dog had illness before he passed so we have experience with senior dogs. Our youngest dog was high energy and the older dog was low energy so we know how to handle both. Our youngest dog was aggressive towards other dogs so we also have experience walking with an aggressive dog. 90% of the time we are at home. We will only be leaving to get food or groceries from the store. We’re homebodies at this point so your babies won’t be alone for more than 2 hours max if necessary. We have a semi fenced yard and a pretty regular schedule. We wake up at the same time everyday and go to sleep around the same time everyday so you’re babies will be cared for as needed!
“Divya is always great! She has been helping me out with last minute walks and I can’t thank her enough. She is so careful with my dog - who is crazy on the leash - and even teaches him new things! Highly highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!”

“Our first time using rover, and we will Definitely be using Cassidy again! She came over the day before to pick up a key and meet our dog. She is very nice and accommodating and good with animals. We certainly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter who’s cared for multiple dogs & cats for friends and family over the years. I work from home 2-3 times a week, have weekends off, and a flexible schedule for drop-ins or overnight stays. I send daily photos/videos and love spending quality time with every pet I care for - whether in your home or mine! I’ll treat your furry friend like family. Pet care fits into my weekly routine pretty seamlessly, I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets - whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and I always provide updates with photos and videos. Even though my dogs don’t currently live with me (they are in Texas), I still care for them from time to time, so I’m used to balancing pet responsibilities with my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or snuggles, making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved is something that naturally fits into my lifestyle. Plus, I genuinely love being around animals, so it never feels like “work” to me 🥹 In My Home: • I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. • Pets get lots of attention, belly rubs, and playtime—whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, etc. • I follow any dietary and feeding instructions closely, making sure they get their meals and treats as scheduled. • Regular potty breaks and walks are a must • I send plenty of daily photo and video updates, so owners always know how their pet is doing. • If staying overnight, I make sure they have a comfy spot to sleep and feel right at home. In a Client’s Home: • I respect their space and ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent. • Whether it’s a drop-in visit or an extended stay, I provide companionship, playtime, and all the love they need. • I stick to their feeding schedule, refresh water, and clean up after them. • Walks and potty breaks happen just as the owner requests. • I make sure to leave everything tidy—no mess left behind. • Communication is key. I send updates, photos, and videos, so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Georgie gets so excited when he hears Jason’s name. He loves his walks. Jason is reliable, considerate, flexible, and the apple of Georgie’s eye—no higher praise is available. I’m so grateful for Jason and Jenna helping me keep Georgie happy and healthy when life gets in the way. I highly recommend them and so does G.

I am so thankful to have found Sydney. My dog has severe anxiety when I board her so I thought if she was in her home environment she would be more comfortable. Sydney was amazing with Paige. Sydney obviously knows dogs, how to read their body language, and cared for Paige as much as I do. I can’t recommend her enough and I will definitely be reaching out to her again when In leave town.

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 Derby. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
