“Angela was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. They can be a handful so I appreciated her attentiveness to them. She was always punctual and an excellent communicator. I definitely plan to book her again.”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats and now raising my own 5-year-old Australian Shepherd. Caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed has taught me the importance of consistency, enrichment, exercise, and understanding each dog's unique personality. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and nervous or reactive dogs, and I'm comfortable adapting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable in new situations. I trained my own dog when she was a puppy and have learned a lot about reactive dog training as well. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or prefers a slower pace and extra patience, I'm happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and affection that I'd want for my own pet. I'll make sure your furry family member stays happy, active, and well cared for while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I am currently unemployed, so my schedule is very free currently. Weekdays are more flexible than weekends, but happy to shift my schedule where needed. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I'll care for them as if they were my own, following their routine, respecting their unique personality, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Whether they enjoy an active game of fetch, a long walk, or simply relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their needs. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, comfortable following detailed care instructions, and committed to providing a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. You can also count on regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is in good hands.
“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”
“Sarah came by on short notice and was great with Benji, taking lots of pictures and giving him a longer walk than I probably would have. Huge help while we're adjusting to the new city.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had a deep love for animals! One of my favorite things about pet sitting for my neighborhood growing up was getting to know each pet’s unique personality and what makes them special. I’m a dependable, caring, and communicative pet sitter who understands how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos, messages, and timely communication, so you can see how much fun we’re having! Whether your dog loves long adventures or quick neighborhood walks, I’m happy to match their energy. I also enjoy playtime and giving plenty of attention and affection. After a fun day/walk together, they’ll be ready for a well earned pup nap! I work from home 3 days a week and am flexible on timing, so seeing your pup throughout the day or for a lunchtime walk is no problem at all! I am almost always local on the weekends as well. I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible! I know pets feel most at ease in familiar surroundings, so I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””
About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Dogs are by far the best pet and friend to have. I’m pretty athletic so your dog will get good exercise. I will love and care for your dogs just as I do my own. I have a small dog and a large dog at home, so I am used to caring and the needs of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I will listen to any special instructions you have for me in order for your dog to have the best and safest experience. We will have plenty of fun and will offer plenty of love for your dog while you’re gone. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog, I hope you choose me to fulfill your needs. I work remote during the day. Which makes me free in the mornings before 9 am, any time around lunch and after 6 during the week. Weekend's are open to for movement on scheduling times I have lived and grown with our pets/furry loved ones my whole life. I have learned and loved so them all so much. I also understand what they need as well and can do as instructed whenever needed.
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.
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for 11 years. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, and feed their pets! I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech's Arlington campus. This summer I will be working remotely with plenty of time to care for your pet! Unfortunately I cannot care for your pets in my own home because our landlord does not allow pets however I am happy to care for them in your home!
About: I have two dogs of my own at home where I am originally from. I have helped raise them from puppies to adults. I know first hand how important a dog is to their owner. I will make sure I entertain your dog as well and keep them safe and happy! I currently am a full time student and have a part time job. The weekend work the best for me but I can also do evenings and Tuesday and Thursdays after three. When I am at home with my dogs, I keep them entertained as much as possible. I love taking them on walks and throwing the ball for them.
“Julia walked my two dogs all summer while I was working. From the beginning, Julia took the time to make sure she understood my (very detailed!) preferences, always made sure she got things right, and was accommodating for schedule changes and when we moved. Julia was such a big help and I could entrust her with walking my two fur-babies. She is great!”
“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."”

Keira walked our dog Ducky twice a week for 5 months from March to July. She was able to take on this scheduled walk in short notice, even though it was late walks ending at 10 PM. Keira was a great walker, and Ducky really liked and got along with her! Being a 1 year old 75-pound lab mix with infinite energy, Ducky definitely was a lot to handle, but Keira was able to take on the challenge and be a great companion to Ducky! She was very detailed, noting all the bio breaks Ducky took along the way and gave us an updates after coming back. Thank you so much Keira for all your help these past few months!
Dominique is a true star sitter! From our very first interaction, his communication has been flawless, clear, and timely. Finding someone you trust with your pet can be daunting, but my dog accepted him right away and was immediately drawn to his positive energy. It is such a relief to know my pup is in such capable hands. I cannot recommend his services highly enough!
Maria has been wonderful with my beagle, Ziggy. She is resourceful, responsible, reliable, and truly committed to his well-being. She consistently goes above and beyond, communicates well, and gives me complete peace of mind knowing Ziggy is in such caring hands. She has earned my complete trust, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends. We feel very fortunate to have found her!

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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
