About: I have one year of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving extra attention to shy or anxious pets. I am home all day! Your pet will never be left alone for long. I’m happy to handle morning and midday walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, and last-minute requests. Because I’m home all day, I can watch your pet closely and give plenty of attention. I keep a calm, clean, pet-safe space, follow your feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates.
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”

About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.

I love walking and caring for dogs but all animals are available for care with my services.
About: I want to be able to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment where your pets can get the love and attention they deserve just like mine. I've always love dogs. Right now I have a female corgi which is adorable and love her so much. I'd be delighted to come to your home to walk your dog, take him/her to Vet or to a grooming appointment.

I’m currently working a part time job and am in school part time I’m available most weekends and Thursdays and fridays. Working mostly mornings and afternoons. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I live with my parents and sister, who also have pet sitting experience, so pets are never alone and always supervised.
About: Over the years I have taken care of many different kinds of animals including dogs and cats (of which I've owned two of each), guinea pigs, mice, and more! In my veterinary science classes, I learned a lot about the handling of dogs, cats, and small animals and got lots of hands-on experience working with dogs during weekly grooming days. Previously, I have worked in a dog hotel as a kennel assistant where I provided many different services for dogs including feeding, cleaning and walking. Along with this, I also often pet sit for my friends and family :D I have a good amount of time on weekdays to look after pets. If anything pops up that will be communicated through messages or on my calendar 👍 I have experience working with a variety of tempers in dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm very patient with nervous/shy animals and can match a higher energy as well.
“She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling. She was also friendly and approachable, which made coordinating everything a smooth and pleasant experience. We appreciated her availability and flexibility and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”
“Thank you, Carson and Elizabeth! You were a huge help to me today when I really wasn’t able to give you more notice about my need for a dog walk. Much appreciated! I hope you enjoyed Enzo. The photos look like he had a good time too! Do you do walks only? Are there days other week you can’t do walks?”
About: I've been pet-sitting for different families for the past three years, and I also have experience caring for animals on a farm. I love being around animals and making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I'm happy to work around each pet's needs. I make time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets attention and care while their owners are away. I'm responsible, flexible, and enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, whether that means feeding them, playing with them, going on walks, or just spending time with them. I try to stick to their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure to follow any instructions the owners leave me and keep their space clean and safe.
About: The main reason I started rover is to give my dog some social time with other puppies as well as I figured I should put my love of animals to good use and help other owners watch over their fur babies with compassion and care. I can assure you I will treat your pet like they were my own child and my dog will treat them like their life long best friend! I work Sunday-Wednesdays and am off 3 days a week but I will always put your pets needs as top priority when they stay with me. If my schedule doesn’t work well for your pets needs I am also always happy to stop off after work or on the weekends if you just need a quick helping hand. If working full time is not an issue pets are always welcome to spend the night with me if you ever have a trip you need to take, just please keep in mind my own work schedule vs your pets daily needs! I am a huge cuddle bug and am happy to share my bed or couch with any pet! However you treat your furry friend I can promise I will follow the same schedule and give them lots of attention! I am also very happy to keep you updated with tons of photos and constant texts!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax Station
Bridget did a great job helping take care of our dog Thor when he needed to be taken out a couple times during the day since he’s a lot for me to handle alone! Our other dog Loki also loved having her come over to give him some extra love! We would definitely use her services again!
Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)

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.
