About: I’ve always loved animals and started pet sitting when I was 15. I’ve taken care of many sizes and types, from small dachshunds and cats to big golden doodles. I also grew up with two dogs who I frequently babysit when my mama is out of town. I’m experienced in walking, feeding, boarding and consoling animals who miss their owners (: I am home full time all week during the summer. I have my own cat who does get along well with other dogs and cats. I love to play with animals and I’ll make sure to keep your pet entertained while I’m visiting. I have a fenced in yard at my home. If they get along with other dogs, i’ll let them hang out at the nearby dog park as well.
“Very thankful for Valeriia , she communicates and keeps me up to date on his eating habits and how he may be feeling. Appreciate her time and I’m sure my dog does too. Absolutely will continue to book with her.”

“Presley was excellent. She did really well with my dog. Apollo even played with him a little after the walk. Presley asked a lot of questions in that first meeting to anticipate the needs of my dog which put me at ease later on. I definitely would love to use her as a dog walker again.”
“Arrived home to 2 happy dogs. They enjoyed their time while I was away. Jessica was great with my bark happy, un-friendly to other dogs, furbabies. She took great care of them.”

About: Hi, I’m Britt! Caring for animals has always been a source of peace and joy for me. I’ve been fortunate to care for both people and pets ranging from infants to furry companionship,but there’s something special about the unconditional love and trust that animals offer. Over the years, I’ve gained experience through hands on pet care and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I supported the well being of dogs, cats, and other rescues. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them the attention they crave, I treat every animal as if they were my own. For me, it’s a passion that brings balance and happiness to my life. I’m excited to provide attentive, thoughtful care to your beloved pets!🐾✨ My daily and weekly schedule revolves around ensuring pets get the love and attention they need while balancing their routines with my own. Each day starts with feeding and hydration, followed by engaging activities like walks in the morning or exploring nearby parks. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to interactive games and mental stimulation, such as puzzles or sniffing activities for dogs, and playful toys for cats. I prioritize keeping track of each pet's unique needs—whether it’s medications, exercise preferences, or calming techniques for nervous pets. Home visits allow me to adapt to their environments, offering tailored care that mirrors their usual habits. My goal is to integrate their care into my routine seamlessly, balancing work and personal time with being their reliable companion. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, along with a cozy area for resting. Their feeding and exercise schedules will mirror their normal routine as closely as possible, and I'll provide enrichment activities like interactive toys or sniffing games to keep them happy and engaged. For pets who need a little extra attention, I offer calm reassurance and maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help them feel at ease. In the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and sense of familiarity. I’ll follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs or medications. I also keep the home clean and tidy, ensuring that toys, bedding, and food areas are in good condition. If the pet enjoys walks, I’ll take them out exploring, providing physical activity and mental stimulation. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, as if they were with a trusted friend.
“Jaclyn was very communicative throughout the entire watch for my dog. Her thorough updates made me at ease knowing that she really cared for my dog. I would definitely use her again on future walks!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life! I had a chihuahua growing up and I also took care of a rescue lab mix for a few years. Currently I have two cats that I love and care for, as well as a third cat that is my roommates. I’m well versed with taking care of all pets. I currently work full time but I work on a hybrid schedule. I will be available for long weekends of Friday-Monday to check in on your pets or to stay with them for your short vacation. I’ll make sure to keep your pets company and to send pictures periodically, or whenever you just miss them. I love spending time with pets so I don’t want you worrying they’ll be alone for long. I normally will either go out or bring food for lunch at your home. I also will take an extended break during dinner time between 3-4 hours, before spending the rest of the night with your pet. If that time frame is too long, please let me know and we can discuss how to accommodate you and your pets needs.
About: I had my first dog when I was 5 and up until I was a Junior in highschool when we lost our beloved Burnie. He was my best friend, I would always tell people I was his go-to human we had our daily walks. Since then I have been the family pet sitter which have included plenty of dogs. I am currently a full-time college student but I am free everyday after 4pm. On the weekends I am a little more flexible I just need to know ahead a few days prior if you need services earlier than 4! I do live inside of an apartment but I have space in the back where I can give walks and potty breaks. There are currently no pets inside of my home but your pet is allowed on top of my sofa!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dessau
Arfa was a lifesaver. She’s a real lover of dogs and cares for them like they are her own. You can trust her inside your home and more importantly with your 4 legged family members. She takes lots of pictures when she’s with your dog and keeps you updated on everything that’s going on. I can’t say enough good things about this young lady. She really gives you that peace of mind that your dog is in good hands and you have nothing to worry about.
Megan was the best! She accepted a few walks for our dog fairly last minute, was very responsive and reliable! Griz absolutely loved her and it seems like had a great time together :) she took him on long walks, sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout! Highly recommend!! Thanks Megan!
Hana is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly caring, responsible, and truly has a genuine love for dogs. The way she cares for Odin and her own dog Bentley is unmatched. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her, it’s something she truly enjoys. She always sends pictures and updates, which gives me so much peace of mind. Every time Odin comes back from a walk with her, he’s so happy and excited it says everything. Odin is my baby, and I don’t trust just anyone with him, but with Hana I feel completely confident. She is fantastic, bar none. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet!
Linda has been so wonderful with my Sam! She’s a great, fast communicator and she’s been so flexible with our schedule. Sam can be a stubborn shih tzu and she’s worked with him wonderfully - even brought a stroller on a rainy day and saved the day! I would definitely recommend her to a friend

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 Dessau. 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 Dessau.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dessau. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
