She took her time, ensuring Hazel felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The detailed report card Lily provided after each walk was impressive, giving us a clear picture of Hazel's adventures. We're so grateful to have found Lily and can't wait to have her as our go-to for weekly walks. She truly is a dog lover's dream come true! Five paws up!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, and I have 10 years of professional pet care experience. I can care for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, chickens, and rodents. I enjoy walking, watching, feeding and just generally caring for all animals. Anytime on weekends. I am also available during the day all week except for Tuesday. I take care of animals on a farm and that is taken care of at dawn and dusk. I come with plenty of poop bags, water, and healthy dog treats. I follow instructions to the letter and I make the safety of animals my priority.
About: With years of hands on experience caring for my own dogs, family/friends and volunteering at rescue animal shelter dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just reliability. I bring genuine love and connection to every pet I meet. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, from energetic playtime to calming routines, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. My goal is simple: to give your dog the happiest, safest, and most tail wagging experience while you're away. I am currently working a part time job so the days I am available to work are Monday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's! I am available anytime from 8am-1pm and if needed evening walks as well just shoot me a message and I will do my best to work around your schedule and needs! I am very open and flexible! I understand how important it is to build trust with both pets and their owners. For me, safety is always a top priority. At home, I ensure my pets are in a secure environment by using properly fitted collars, safe walking routes, and monitoring their behavior during play to avoid any potential hazards. I keep my home pet-proofed, making sure harmful items are out of reach. When I’m looking after clients' pets, I treat them with the same level of care and attention, sticking to any specific safety guidelines provided by the owner, like dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or leash rules. Trust is earned by being reliable, communicative, and consistent, so I make sure to keep pet parents updated with photos, texts, and progress reports.

About: I specialize in caring for calm, well-trained, highly independent pets while maintaining a clean, organized, and well-cared-for home. My goal is to follow your pet’s established routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. I’m a great fit for households with pets that are well-mannered, comfortable with their routines, and able to settle independently. I focus on maintaining the environment your pets are already familiar with, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout your absence. As a full-time traveling house sitter that has cared for 25+ homes, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days around each pet’s established feeding, exercise, play, and care routines while maintaining the home as if it were my own. Because this is my full time focus, I’m able to provide consistent attention, adapt to each household’s preferences, and ensure pets receive dependable care throughout my stay. House and pet sitting gives me the ability to experience new environments while maintaining structure and consistency in my daily life. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and presence of pets in the home. I like learning their personalities, how different animals and breeds interact with their environment, and what helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy play, interaction, and building a calm, steady presence with them during a sit. I provide structured, routine based care including feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and oral medication when it can be given with ease and cooperation. I value calm, stable home environments with clear instructions and consistent routines. I do best in well maintained, organized homes that are clutter free, odor free, clean, and with minimal excess pet hair buildup. I also appreciate the use of air purifiers when available. While I work remotely and am primarily at home, my work includes focused independent periods, and I check in on pets throughout the day as part of their routine care. A video call (Zoom or Google Meet) is required prior to confirming a sit to ensure a mutual fit for both home and pet care expectations. I appreciate homeowners who are familiar with my profile and come prepared with any questions as well. I am not a fit for: • Highly Velcro pets requiring constant proximity or attention • Aggressive behavior toward humans or other animals • Physical force based handling, training, or behavior modification responsibilities • Daily intensive mess cleanup or unmanaged accidents • Co-sleeping (pets must sleep independently in their own space outside the bedroom) • Frequent last minute changes, unclear schedules, or unstable routines I value clear communication, respectful, hospitable, and well structured sits.
About: I have a very flexible schedule and I love animals from small to big! i make sure the animals i care for are spoiled and loved. I’m mobile from Cedar Rapids, Iowa city, and North Liberty. If this is your first time booking with me/rover let me know for $20 off I am open to care for your pet at your home, i am open to driving them around anywhere, dropping off, going on walks etc.

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 Descanso. 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.

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.
