“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
“Sarah was great with my senior pup and her love for animals is clear. I appreciated that she was available for a meet and greet and booking on short notice. Would gladly have her care for Finn again!”
“Anne has been a godsend since my return to the office 5 days a week. She is a great communicator and sends really cute photos. Highly recommend!”
“Megan was great! She did a meet and greet and was very patient in learning all of my dog’s special care needs (he is a COVID pup who is not used to being home alone all day now that I’m back in office full time). Bailey loved her and she took all of my instructions about how to get him to warm up to her/trust her as a new person entering his space. Highly recommend!”
“AMAZING ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Communicative - so kind - prompt - great pics and info. Ladybird was so happy after her walk and it’s wonderful to know that I’m doing “right” by my dog by making sure she gets activity. Really happy I found Chloe on Rover and how easy everything was - I highly recommend her.”
“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.
“Amanda is incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and such a dog person. Rosie was in love with her at first sight. Lucky to have her as part of my "dog team."”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, and each experience has taught me how to be patient, loving, and responsible. I looked after my sweet poodle for 17 years, especially when she grew older and developed Alzheimer’s. It was a challenging time, but I cared for her with all my heart. I also helped care for dogs adopted by my family. My elderly aunt adopted a street dog named Fred, and since she couldn’t manage walks and vet visits on her own, I was the one who took care of him. Later, my grandmother adopted another rescue named Bruce, and I became his main walking companion because of her limited mobility. Currently, I live with my host family, and they have a wonderful rescue dog named Rosie. Whenever they travel, I’m fully responsible for her care — from walks to cuddles — and she has truly become my best friend. These experiences taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, whether they’re seniors, rescues, or playful companions. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a very flexible routine, which allows me to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. I can adjust my schedule to make sure they’re cared for and happy. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety and comfort. I make sure to follow their usual routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so they feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m always careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks. Whether in my client’s home or with a pet I’m sitting, I treat their space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I do everything with responsibility and care.
“Celeste is dependable and a good communicator. She kept our dog happy and walked, cleaned her before leaving each day so muddy walks were not an issue after leaving our dog until we were home from work. Thank you Celeste!”
“Julia literally gave our dog an extra cashmere sweater she had to keep him warm on his walks in the snow! She is incredible and has the biggest heart! Every morning Banx waits for her by the door- he can’t wait for his walks!”
“Isabella was a wonderful caretaker of our dog Chili! She took time before our walking appointment to meet with us. She arrived right on time and sent numerous pictures of our dog during the walk. We can’t wait to have her watch Chili again!”
“Eric is a great dog walker! He walks Ranger every week and manages him well. Since he’s a bigger dog, I always ensure a walker feels comfortable managing him, and Eric is great! He is easy to communicate with, flexible to last minute needs, and proactive in ensuring we have our weekly walk booked for a convenient time. I highly recommend Eric’s services for your one-off or regular dog care needs!”
About: I have had a mini Goldendoodle for the past five years and raising him has made me adore dogs. Seeing all their unique personalities is enjoyable and I love giving them the best life possible. I regularly watch his cousin so I have plenty of experience handling multiple dogs. I work from home so have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I currently walk my dog a few times throughout the day to get out of the house. I provide attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes by following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping their home clean and secure.
About: I absolutely love dogs and would be so excited to welcome another pup into our home! I have a 1.5-year-old rescue dog named Cooper who is super friendly, playful, and loves having other dogs around. He would be thrilled to have a new friend to play with and hang out with! I work a hybrid schedule, and my roommates are often home when I’m working, so your pup would have plenty of company and attention. I also have experience with reactive dogs through Cooper, so I understand the importance of being patient, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. I would love to give your pup some attention, playtime, and a new friend!! I work a hybrid schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the week. When I’m working in the office, my roommates are usually home, so your dog won’t have to be alone if they prefer company. I’m also happy to provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly, very high energy 1.5-year-old rescue dog, Cooper, who loves playing with other dogs and would be excited to have a new friend! I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and needs time to feel comfortable in a new environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, since I was very young. This goes for longer term care at home and short term stays. I have well experience with senior dogs and puppies. Training experience is basic. I am available to board with 24/7 attention on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Monday-Thursday I can offer drop in’s and walks. My schedule is fairly flexible dependent on the need. In my home or a client’s home, I keep pets in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and stick closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and rest. I’m attentive to their surroundings and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also believe communication is an important part of building trust. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want them to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while they’re in my care.
About: I love pets because I cherish the special bond between a human and a pet even when none of them speak the same language :) I have had a cat for 8 years and could watch friends dogs for over a year I really enjoy walking with a dog because it makes me feel zen and happy! I currently have a part time and remote job, so I have a flexible schedule. I can easily plan my day around walks, feeding, and spending time with pets. I make sure they get consistent attention and care throughout the day. I live a in a safe neighborhood with close dog parks. I stick to each pet’s usual routine as much as possible. In your home, I follow your instructions closely. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for wherever they are.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Charles is absolutely wonderful! Truly one of the kindest and most caring people you could ever trust with your pet. He took such amazing care of Mr. Ziggy and treated him with so much love and attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing my boy was in such caring, trustworthy hands. Charles is also incredibly easy to communicate with, dependable, and just a genuinely lovely person. I cannot say enough good things about him. Mr. Ziggy and I are so grateful for Charles! Highly, highly recommended! ❤️🐾
Another great experience with Bryan! He is extremely reliable, communicative, and clearly puts a lot of care into each visit. I really appreciate the thoughtful updates and photos, and it’s obvious that he pays close attention to my dog’s personality and what makes her comfortable. She is always happy and well cared for with him. I would absolutely recommend Bryan and will definitely continue booking with him!
Our dog Hope loved Grant as soon as she met him at the meet and greet, and she was so excited when he showed up for her walk. Grant is kind and loving towards Hope, and is very understanding about her quirky golden personality. He’s also a good communicator about logistics and scheduling, and is very on time. We highly recommend Grant.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
