“Sarah has been walking our pups for the past two weeks, and they’ve already fallen in love with her. She’s punctual and ensures they get their walks, treats, and belly rubs. I had a hard time finding someone I could trust to take care of them, but I’ve found my perfect match in Sarah.”

“Wonderful service from Sydney. She is reliable and trustworthy with my Scottish terrier, Walle, and he looks forward to their weekly walks now. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet.”

“Jenna saved my bacon when I got stuck up in Snowbird today. She responded quickly and communicated well, very kind. She took Aly for a good walk (probably saved an accident), sent pics and fed her. Aly was so happy and my stresses were negated as soon as Jenna jumped in. Thanks from us both.”

“Anna was amazing. I contacted her last minute after another sitter ghosted me. She responded quickly and did a great job with my dog. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future.”

“Lydia did a great job watching our dog while we were out of town. She provided consistent and timely updates and our dog Rosie seemed really happy when we got back home. We will definitely be asking her to take care of Rosie again!”

“Payton is the best! So amazing with animals can’t say I’ve seen anyone relate to animals so well. So Happy to have found Payton! Whole heart and soul ! Thank You Sooooo very much for walking Maestro ❤️”

“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my pups- they love her!! She was so easy to work with and it was really nice to know she was taking care of them when we weren’t home. Will definitely book her again.”


“Sadie always has a great time with Sheila! Since I'm gone 12 hours a day, it feels good knowing that I can depend on Sheila to help take care of my dog. She was very thorough and asked good questions during our first meeting, and lets me know far in advance if she's going to be out of town.”

“Emily was very responsive through the app, and came to meet my dog before her first walk. She even came out for an extra quick trip outside to make sure my pup didn't have to wait too long. She really went above and beyond! Thanks Emily!”

About: I have loved animals all my life! From living in a household of cats, to taking care of family and friends dogs from days to weeks on end, I’ve always loved to be around pets. I’ve lived with either cats, dogs, or both consistently for 15+ years. Can’t wait to take great care of your pets and make some new furry friends! I have a wide range of availability! My work is a hybrid schedule, so there is flexibility with times. I can take care of pets during both weekdays and weekends, so let me know when you need some help. I will follow your instructions to a T. If you are particular about certain aspects of your pet care, I will absolutely take that into great consideration and follow accordingly! I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable as possible, so whatever that may be, please let me know.

About: I am a stay at home husband with a lifelong passion and love for all animals. I have been caring for animals since I was young, and have experience with all variety of cats and dogs. I've handled everything from basic routine walking and feeding, to post-surgery care and diaper changes, from baby to senior. Rest assured, I will treat your pets with the utmost respect and care, because they deserve nothing less. I’m very excited to be a part of the Rover family and look forward to caring for your pets. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fairly open schedule, and will never rush with your pets! I'm more than happy to dedicate as long as your pet needs to receive the care it deserves! I keep a routine schedule with my dog Zuko, including feeding, walking, exercise, and medications. I also regularly watch my neighbor's pets, performing tasks such as playing, picking up, maintaining litter boxes, feeding, and walking.
About: Having grown up training and working an XL breed alongside a frenchie, I have experience with dogs great and small. I love big dogs, trained dogs, elderly dogs and puppies. I’m comfortable crate training and caring for working jobs with training schedules. I currently work part time at a bank so I’m available most holidays and weekends, and can stay full time at your home to take dogs on potty breaks at all hours. I tend to keep a low profile in a client’s home beyond dirtying linens. I typically go for the guest bedroom and will only cook in the microwave if at all. I ask that I am left written instructions and schedules to best care for your animals.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently own both a Husky with a seizure disorder and a senior Malamute with arthritis. Caring for special needs and senior dogs has given me hands-on experience with medications, mobility support, routines, and recognizing behavioral changes quickly. I have also personally trained my own dogs and am comfortable working with high-energy breeds, strong personalities, and dogs that need extra patience and structure. I am currently a full-time student and work from home doing freelance projects, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention. I am available for drop-ins and dog walks throughout the week, overnight boarding in my home (I do have two large breed dogs but they get along with others), and outings to local parks or dog parks like Tanner Park for socialization and exercise. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and energy level so I can provide consistent care with as little stress as possible. In my home, dogs are supervised, exercised appropriately, and given a calm environment with plenty of attention, play, and structure. I also have a fully fenced yard with a dog door so dogs have safe access to outdoor time and potty breaks throughout the day. I am experienced with medications, mobility support, and monitoring behavioral changes due to caring for both a special needs Husky and a senior Malamute.
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thanks Marissa for walking my favourite son, Logan. I really appreciate the quick responses during a chaotic time for us (having just moved from another country). Logan is an anxious dog, sometimes not ok w other dogs and judging by the feedback and photos Marissa sent, she’s managed to help him make new furry friends already!! Thank you so much.

Kristen was amazingly patient with Hero. Having a vet tech background and experience with so many different animals made me feel completely at ease leaving our senior boy with her. She followed all of our specific walking routines perfectly, and as a wonderful bonus, she took the most beautiful photos of Hero! Highly recommend her!

Highly recommend Matt. He is punctual and communicates very well. I initially used him when my regular rover guy was on vacation. Now I use Matt full time as I was more impressed with him. We work long hours and work about an hour away. And I do not stress if my babies are being taken care of.

Claire was amazing! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire experience. She took such great care of Molly, and it was clear that Molly felt comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Molly was in such good hands. I would absolutely book Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Elena was great!! She took such good care of our pups, taking them on long walks (even in the rain) and sent many cute photos that were better than the ones we have even been able to take! We were relieved knowing that Elena was coming over to feed and check on the pups after having been gone for a long day because we knew she would take great care of them and the pups love her.

Sarah has been walking our pups for the past two weeks, and they’ve already fallen in love with her. She’s punctual and ensures they get their walks, treats, and belly rubs. I had a hard time finding someone I could trust to take care of them, but I’ve found my perfect match in Sarah.

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services.
