About: With over 14 years of personal pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy and thriving. For over a decade, I lovingly cared for my own dog through all stages of life, and I have spent years fostering dogs of various breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments. Fostering has taught me how to be incredibly patient, how to read canine body language, and how to help anxious or shy dogs feel safe in a new environment. I treat every guest with the same dedicated, individualized care I gave my own pets and fosters.🐾🐶 I currently work part-time, which gives me a very consistent and reliable daily routine. I am fully available every single day during the afternoon from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, making me the perfect fit for midday potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have plenty of extra time in the evenings during the weekend for dinner feedings or cozy companionship! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, so I do my best to keep their usual routine consistent—including feeding times, walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks—to help ease any stress or separation anxiety. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked and ensuring pets are safely inside before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in caring hands! 🐕

“Marisol was excellent - on time, bonded well with my <30lb Boston Terrier mix, and came with excellent referrals from ongoing clients. Will use again as soon as our schedules align!”
“Mike walks Cali on a regular basis. Cali loves going on walks with Mike and is happy to see him. This particular walk was requested last minute. Mike was flexible and said he would help right away. He even asked if Cali needed to eat as well. It was a huge help and he is a fantastic dog walker!”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
This was Jett’s first walk with someone new, and Allie did an amazing job! She took him on several walks around the neighborhood and made sure to burn off some of his energy playing fetch in the backyard. Allie is reliable and great with dogs—I would recommend her. Thank you, Allie!
Brian has been great with our young and energetic American Bulldog. We were looking for someone sturdy who is comfortable around large dogs and can read them well (i.e overheating) and he has done just that! He is also very communicative and clear which is always the gold standard when you are entrusting someone with your dog and access to home.

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 Dover. 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 Dover.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
