About: My pet care experience comes from having my own pets, caring for family and friends, volunteering, and working as a veterinary technician. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, including shy, anxious, young, and senior pets. I’m skilled in administering medications and vaccines, and I create a calm, safe, and loving environment, tailoring attention and activities to each pet’s individual needs so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I have flexible availability. Im available for multiple walks a day if needed or even pop up if you needed someone to check in on your fur baby. I have a friendly dog who will play with your pup or take naps for those who are passed the puppy stage. I can do light basic training
“Samantha is always so caring and attentive with Nala! 🐶💕 She was also very helpful always changing her pee pad and cleaning up Nala’s messes. I really appreciated her help and kindness. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Svetlana is so nice! She’s very careful and responsible, and sends me a lot of pictures when he walks my dog. She took my dog to the dog park after asking me if it’s ok, and they had a lot of fun! My dog Leon trusts and likes her. I can tell Svetlana loves dogs.”
“Steve has been walking Buck for a couple of months now and he has been wonderful with Buck! When I forget to book them for the week they always reach out to see if it was a mistake or not and they still accommodate if I forgot.”
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. From a young age, I developed a deep understanding of pet care, particularly with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Four years ago, I adopted two puppies and personally trained them into well-behaved, obedient dogs, which taught me invaluable lessons in responsibility, patience, and proper pet care. In addition to my personal experience, I spent two years volunteering at CAPS Animal Shelter, where I was responsible for dog walking, feeding, cleaning cages, and ensuring the animals were happy and comfortable. Through this, I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments and needs. I work fully remotely, meaning I am home the majority of the day and have plenty of availability and flexibility. I also have extensive experience house and dog sitting and have never had a bad review! I have 10+ 5 star reviews I can reference for you. I take pride in being trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of your space and pets. I am currently working from home, fully remote so I am home majority of the day and have tons of availability and flexibility for your pets. I have had many years of experience house and dog sitting and have never had a bad review! I am very trustworthy and will be respectful of your space!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy pets, and I’m always reliable and communicative. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I offer daytime services like drop-ins, walks, and playtime, and I plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m dependable, flexible, and make sure each visit is focused, fun, and tailored to the pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk, feeding, or some one-on-one attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—meal times, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—to reduce stress while their owners are away. I always follow any specific instructions, from medications to feeding preferences, and I give regular updates and photos to keep pet parents in the loop. I’m clean, respectful of the home, and make sure every pet feels at ease while in my care.
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”
“Gonzalo is so good with my Penny. Shes a difficult one, but he goes out of his way to avoid situations that cause her stress. He provides me with thorough updates on their walks. The first time he met her she loved him, which if youre a dog person you know, our dogs know who to trust and not. I highly recommend Gonzalo to take care of your fur babies!!! As a bonus he takes GREAT photos of my baby which i love seeing ❤️”

About: I grew up with four big dogs and loved every moment of it. Now, I have one dog, Ollie, who I love to spoil and spend my time with on walks and outside. I’m currently a college student, the hardest part about leaving for college was leaving him. I am a college student in Boston so I have summers off.

Their safety is always my number one priority. I have also done a lot of babysitting in my past and have always been responsible and respectful in others homes, I know how scary it can be to let someone into your home so I value all of your needs.
About: Growing up, my home was always full of pets, including cats, dogs, parrots, and bunnies. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the unique opportunity to learn about pet care firsthand, including administering medications, dog first aid, and CPR. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and even administer medications to their pets. Now, as a recent college graduate in Boston, I’m excited to bring my passion and years of experience to help local pet parents care for their furry companions! I feel more comfortable working for girls or couples! I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pet! My calendar is always up to date but please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about availability. I live in Boston, where I have access to beautiful parks and pet-friendly areas for fun and safe walks. I’m always mindful of your pet’s safety and comfort, ensuring they get exercise, love, and attention while in my care. Whether it’s a quiet stroll, a trip to a dog park, or games at home, I’ll tailor the experience to your pet’s personality.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, as my family has always had them. I love playing with dogs, taking them for walks, and helping them enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, playtime, and giving your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I will keep your dog safe by following your instructions, using a secure leash, staying aware of our surroundings, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection.
About: I love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ll take care of your dog or cat as if they were my own. I’m also a pet parent myself - I have a British Shorthair cat named Bella, and she means the world to me. Because of that, I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pet with someone else. I have experience walking dogs and caring for pets through Wag, where I hold a 5-star rating. I’ve been doing pet care part-time and have completed a variety of services, including home visits, cat sitting, dog sitting, and daily walks. I’ve also done longer stays (4–7 days), so I’m comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, and giving pets plenty of companionship. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me - and we’ll definitely enjoy our time together. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m not working full-time right now and I’m able to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, and consistent care. I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and needs. Some days I might be away for the whole day. I always prioritize safety. I make sure doors are closed securely, pets don’t slip outside, and dogs are always taken out on a leash. I follow your feeding instructions exactly and never give pets anything outside their normal diet. I keep their space clean, calm, and comfortable so they feel safe while you’re away.

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.
