About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.
“Both my cat and dog loved Morgan and were beaming when I got home from vacation! Morgan is communicative and curious and I really appreciate her approach to animals. Anyone is lucky to have her care for their pets :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently take care of my parents dog when needed, my best friends new puppy, and have prior experience with senior dog I used to care for. I work fully remote job so I have flexibility throughout the day to care for a dog as well as fenced area to let dog out in. It is just myself in a single family home with a fenced in back yard for all dog sitting needs. I also have a car and easily commute for any in-home calls and jobs.
“Megan has been awesome walking with our excitable GSD! She is prompt, communicative, and friendly. I love the detailed updates and photos she shares on her walks and trust her to handle our big pup.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.
About: I grew up on a farm with pitbulls and cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and have experience in giving them plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you with your needs! I’m available for overnight boarding all nights but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only available after 530. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor playtime. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed, from feeding and walks to cuddle time and rest. I also keep a close eye on them during outdoor activities to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and secure.
“Alison has been very reliable and responsive. She’s been walking our new puppy for the last couple weeks to help us get her out of the crate during our work day so she isn’t in there more than 4hrs. Puppy dealing with some pretty bad stomach issues and Alison very helpful with this as far as checking in with worried pup mom and offering more water/different options when pup not up for a walk. She’s been wonderful and we’re very grateful. Will continue to use her services as long as we can and are in a situation where work schedule forces pup into crate for too many hours.”

About: I am reliable and have a flexible schedule, and can't wait to meet your pet! I've taken care of animals since I was a teenager. Six years ago I adopted a dog and it changed my life. <3 She's now a senior and enjoys her sleep, walks, and toys. I have experience with blind and deaf dogs too.

About: I have extensive experience providing compassionate care for a variety of animals, ranging from neighborhood fish and family pets to caring for a lab puppy for a week. As an elementary education major, I am naturally patient, responsible, and highly attentive to the needs of others. I have a genuine love for both dogs and cats and would be thrilled to provide reliable, loving care for your pets. I am currently a student at Thomas More University. I am available for dog walking and pet sitting on Thursdays, weekends, and Tuesdays during the day, as well as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. I ensure your pets are fed three times a day, or according to your specific feeding schedule.

About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.
“Siri is great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and from the moment my dog met her, it was easy to see she understands and cares for animals. My dog can be shy with new people, but Siri has this calm confidence, and they connected immediately. Every walk was on time, with detailed updates and photos that gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting good care and happy. It’s good day when you find someone who treats your pet like their own, Siri is one of those special people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and competent person to care for your pet.”
About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. Grew up walking stuffed animals around on a leash just to prove to my parents that I was responsible enough to own one myself. I had two dogs that both lived to 16 so my track record is good I am currently working from home three to four days a week and that allows for me to be flexible with my timing. I can leave the house, let a dog out or just give him/her some extra belly rubs I have a fenced in yard that allows your fur baby to run around freely, but within the home I love to snuggle. Your pets are allowed on furniture and in beds at this household, as long as it’s okay with you.
“Video chat was a great way to do an introduction and walk thru for first time meeting. Loved the pictures and video sent, made me confident my dog was happy and well cared for. Will use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Place
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with Stella and Lucy! They both love her, and it’s easy to see why. She doesn’t just show up, walk them, and leave. She really takes the time to get to know each dog individually, understand their personalities, and figure out what they need. I’ve especially noticed a huge difference with Stella. Olivia has gradually helped increase her activity and endurance, and Stella is doing so much better because of it. I really appreciate that Olivia pays attention to what she can handle while still helping her improve. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that both of my dogs are with someone who genuinely cares about their health and happiness. Olivia is also great at communicating, dependable, patient, and just an all-around great person. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with and treats them like more than just another appointment on her schedule. Stella and Lucy are always happy to see her, which probably says more than any review I could write. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. We’re very lucky to have found her! 🐾❤️
Breanna was fantastic! My husky love her. She was always on time. If\nShe was stuck on traffic or something.She immediately texted me and kept me updated. She\nWas very flexible when I needed to make small changes in the schedule Timing. She was just very reliable and very easy to work with.
Dan is awesome! My GSD grew to love him really quickly. He handles her on walks with no problem and always makes sure she gets plenty of attention and exercise. He’s also very responsive and does his best to fit us into his schedule. The detailed Rover cards he sends after each walk are a great bonus too! 🐾

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 Elmwood Place. 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
