“Rebecca has been great so far. Aries is happy he gets to see new people and get extra time outside. Rebecca also goes above and beyond, not just for the dogs but as a person as well.”
“I am so glad I found Cassidy! I work long hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so my poor pup was usually home for 11hrs or so on those days. I felt terrible. My boss recommended Rover and I landed on Cassidy after doing some searching. She is so good with my pup and plays with her plenty on days when it’s too hot out for a long walk. I always get pictures from the walk/play time and I swear some of the best pics of my pup have come from Cassidy. She’s fantastic, reliable, and I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker 😊”
“Jill was so amazing and helped me out with a last minute walk. I’m looking forward to her helping me out with his regular walks in the future! She is super kind and prompt with communication!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs of all ages since I was 9. I also have experience working on a family farm with all sorts of other animals. I have a 1 year old Aussie who is extremely friendly. I currently work part-time and have a lot of free time to spend with your pups. Most weekday mornings and afternoons are open with my work schedule being very flexible. I have a lot of experience dog sitting for family, and by bringing your dog into my home, I would treat them like family. My dog is very friendly with other dogs and would love a playmate or walkmate. I am a hiking enthusiast and experienced with walking all sorts of breeds and ages and would be more than happy to take your pup on an adventure.
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.
“Outstanding and caring! I’m so grateful for Rachel. My dogs loved her. I really appreciated how she did little things to ensure their comfort like walking in the shade when the pavement was hot. I highly recommend her to my neighbors and friends!!”
“Tess was one of the best walkers I have found on Rover. Her communication was great and always sent pictures. She is definitely at the top of my list if I need to book a walker in the future! 10/10 recommend!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful experience! She took great care of Buzz and was very reliable and communicative throughout the week. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and I came home to a happy pup! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Iliana is amazing! Hallie warmed up to her after one day and she is always very happy when we get home. I highly recommend Iliana. She is very loving and caring and takes excellent care of Hallie. We look forward to continue using Iliana for dog walking services.”
“Sarah is the absolute best always will my boy. She always sends me the cutest pictures along with giving detailed descriptions of how things are going. You’re amazing Sarah :)”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and care to what makes your pet happiest. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! Plus, you can absolutely expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while they’re with me! And treats if allowed of course :) BACKGROUND CHECK FRIENDLY I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or house sitting. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible. I can always work on the go and will communicate my meeting schedule with you, so you know exactly what periods of the day I’ll need to be focused on work. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding, walking, and potty routine consistent, and make sure they’re comfortable in my care. I live in an apartment, so pets staying with me will get regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. I take this more seriously than anything! Your pet will become part of my family and I will always put their needs and safety first. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly.
“Nathan was amazing! He was able to walk Maui on very short notice and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I really appreciate his communication, reliability, and willingness to help. Highly recommend!!!”
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.
About: I've been pet sitting since high school (cats, dogs and horses) and have worked with a range of small to large animals. My current clientele includes a senior Beagle with lots to say, 2 mischievous indoor/outdoor cat sisters, an 120 pound mixed-breed run loving dog, and 5 Thoroughbred/Dutch Warmblood and Quarter horse friends among others. I am a self-proclaimed neat freak and professional organizer so your pets and home will receive exceptional care and your home will always be cleaner than when you left it :) I house/pet sit full time and am currently on the job hunt for fully remote positions as I have been a fully remote worker for the past couple of years. Working remotely has allowed me to spend most of my time at my client's homes during the day and give their pets the attention and care needed while their owners are away. If I am away, it is at most 2-3 hours at a time to go on a run or care for my horse at my barn. I care for my clients pets by spending days/staying overnights in their homes and/or doing drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether it be medication administration, crating dogs when away for a couple hours or for bedtime, calling outdoor/indoor cats back inside for the night or their daily meals, or giving anxious attachment pets extra love and attention, I pride myself on an exceptional pet care experience. AND as a clean freak and professional organizer, your house will look just as it was when you return or even cleaner!
“Thank you Jessie, you are literally the Best, our Mama Bear loves you and so do we!! Thank you for being so dependable, flexible and caring for our Fur Baby, we appreciate you!!”

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 , 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 .
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.
