About: I’m a Licensed Vet tech and can take care of small animals. From older puppies to seniors. I’ll take care of them like my own dog. I’m looking towards working and can help out in many ways for your pets needs. From feeding to going out to go potty, and even naps! I walk them out the potty. And have 2 dogs to keep them company. I have crate to put them in at night, if needed.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals, grew up on a farm, and currently live on one. I currently work with horses. I quit nursing to do something I love and work with animals. If I cannot give your animal the care I would expect mine to get for some reason, I won't take the job. I currently work with horses every day. I live on a farm where we have goats 🐐, horses 🐎, chickens 🐔, a pig 🐖, cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, a rabbit 🐇, and a guinea pig so I'm no stranger to animals. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own. If my scheduling conflicts with their care, I will simply turn the job down because it's just not fair to them. I'm not really about leaving them locked up. I enjoy playing with them, walking them, and getting to know their personalities.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize their routine, safety, and happiness. I am currently a stay at home pet mom! I am in the Indiana national guard, so I have tons of free time! I have two pets of my own, with very simple schedules! I’m very good a paying attention to what your fur baby will need. I’m also more then happy to potty train and teach tricks to any pups needing assistance!
About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.

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.

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.
