About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have dogs, cats, pet rats, snakes, geckos, and frogs. I work with dogs with behavioral issues, sassy snakes, geckos who fling themselves into the air and birds who aren't interested in my company! There's nothing on this planet I can't find a reason to love. I work full time during the day from 11-7 so I am unable to do midday visits, but I am happy to do breakfast and dinner check-ins What type of care I give is catered specifically to the individual animal. Some want cuddles, some want someone to sit nearby and be read to, some just want to eat! I let the animal set the stage of our interactions, I find that it fosters a deeper connection in the long term. This method is applied to the best of my ability when it comes to pets requiring medication as needing medication requires a more active hands on approach
“Danielle was communicative and really great with our dog Rogue! She asked questions when needed and Rogue was nice and tired after their walks.”
“Christina really is the best!! She goes above and beyond like putting on the calming dog music YouTube video we play for Lincoln without me even asking :’) And love the pics and videos”
“Malaysia is extremely reliable and professional. My dog loves her, she is warm and friendly and she sends me a cute picture on her walk with Venus! We sincerely appreciate her help! Thank you Malaysia!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love, cherish, and take care of. I have walked dogs for my neighbors and family before, always ensuring the most safe and nurturing experience for them. Currently I am in school, but very flexible for walking on weekdays. I am always open to figuring something out that works around my schedule. The weekends are a little more busy, but again times can be worked around. I will care for the pets greatly in their environment in which they feel comfortable in. I walk my dogs a lot and always make sure they are safe and protected.
“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”
About: As a devoted cat mom of two, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. I regularly pet-sit for friends, providing reliable house sitting, daily walks, and enrichment activities to keep their pups engaged. Having grown up in a multi-pet household, ranging from a high-energy dog to a cat and a parrot, I am comfortable with a wide variety of personalities and needs. I’m looking forward to expanding my services and treating your pets like family. I work at a school in Northwest Philly from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, so I'm available on weekday nights and all day on the weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to provide a seamless transition so the animals feel secure and the home remains in excellent condition. I strictly follow established feeding schedules and ensure fresh water is always available. I am diligent about following any specific dietary instructions or medication needs.I provide structured walks and active play sessions. Whether it’s playing fetch or using interactive toys, I make sure the pets get the physical and mental stimulation they need to stay happy while their owners are away.Beyond pet care, I am happy to help with light household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and ensuring all pet areas are kept clean and tidy.

“Maureen was a life-saver. I am recovering from surgery and my Mercedes being an early riser with a specific morning routine. It was hard. She was extremely anxious with seeing me in bed and unable to carry her and keeping her morning routine was nearly impossible. She had become increasingly anxious. Maureen came in every morning on time at 6 am, let Mercedes out, fed her and walk her. She gave Mercedes belly rubs, lots loving and Mercedes calmed down. Maureen followed my directions, was puntual and gave TLC to Mercedes and was polite with us. She noted concerns when needed . Though minor, we were able to deal with the issues right away. Everything worked like a charm. I thank God that I was able to connect with Maureen and she was overall EXCELLENT. Mercedes calmed down and was excited to see Maureen. She took a load off us on the most difficult part of my recovery. Surely a God sent.”
“Yoel was great as always! He always sends us photos of our pets to set our minds at ease. This visit he was even able to win over our pathologically shy, anxious cat and we were so relieved that she got some affection while we were gone. Yoel always seems to really enjoy our pets, which is a great feeling for us now that we have our hands full traveling with a baby.”
About: Hello! My name is Kylie. I was raised in Hawai'i and just moved from Brooklyn, NY. I love staying active, doing yoga, and just being outside in the sun. I am a huge animal lover, one of big reasons that I am vegan. I have many experiences with all kinds of home pets. I have experiences taking care of all kinds of animals, because I have had everything from a dog, a cat, chickens, parrots, a jackson chameleon named Jackson, and of course, many fish. I started walking dogs in middle school at the humane society, where I was trained, so I am very qualified and passionate about animal's wellbeing. I would love to walk your dog and get to know them, because dogs are the most precious creatures.
About: Ever since I was young, I've shared my life and heart with feline companions, embracing the joy and unconditional love that comes with being a dedicated cat owner. My journey as a passionate pet enthusiast took an even more delightful turn when, five years ago, I welcomed an adorable bunny into my life, creating a bond that added a new dimension to my love for animals. From the tender days of nurturing tiny kittens to the sweet moments of watching my furry bunny hop around playfully, the experience has been nothing short of heartwarming.. Im a fulltime video editor and videographer so I work from home most of the time. im typically available in the mornings and late afternoons I have a 3 story house as well as a nice size yard in the back of my house for the pets to play in
“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”
“Jordan has been wonderful to work with! I feel so comfortable leaving Finn with her, and he seems to welcome her company. She’s also very responsive and gives detailed summaries. I definitely recommend her!!”
About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have been caring for pets around my neighborhood for about two years. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have 2 years of hands on experience providing dedicated pet care through pet sitting for my neighbors and friends. My responsibilities have included caring for dogs, cats, and small animals of various breeds and temperaments. I follow detailed care instructions provided by each pet owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special dietary needs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention every day. I do also work part time on certain days. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I begin by gathering detailed information about each pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical history, and behavior. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I respect their space by maintaining cleanliness and ensuring all areas accessed by the pet remain secure and organized. I monitor the pet closely, engage them in appropriate physical and mental activities, and provide companionship to ensure they feel safe and cared for. Whether at home or on-site, I am attentive, patient, and responsive to each animal’s unique needs, always aiming to create a nurturing and trustworthy environment.
About: I usually connect well with dogs and kids I think I have a kindness with them that most people dont. I have owned a dog-walking business with my brother when we were kids. It consisted of us walking and watching dogs for the neighbors. It also showed me how to run a business and how to make my customers happy. Careful, professional dog walking demands technical skill, physical stamina, and in-depth knowledge of everything from dog behavior to pet first aid to knowing and understanding city laws. I think it is a wonderful oppurtunity for me to connect with animals again and show them there is love for them. they are such a huge part of our lives they deserve to be treated with care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Rock
Ally was absolutely wonderful! She recognized that our puppy was a tad nervous on her first stroll with a new-to-her person, so she allowed her time to do her thing and get comfortable, which paid dividends, as she eventually warmed up and I’m sure will look forward to her next jaunt with Ally.
Courtney was amazing. I booked her on short notice. She canceled her appointment which was completely unnecessary to come in. Dogs hit my dog. She was professional and was sweet and loving to my puppy. She was confident and took charge, which is exactly what we needed. I will hundred percent use her again and I hope that you guys use her services. Your pet would be thankful that you set up an appointment with Courtney.
Thank you! You took great care of my two dogs, and accommodated my changes in schedule with ease. I so appreciate your flexibility, your punctuality, and how you checked in with me about the heat and my one dogs resistance to a walk. Thank you! I will definitely use you again.
I highly recommend Alexys for your pet care needs! I’ve been working with her for about a month, and she has quickly become one of my most trusted, go-to sitters. She is incredibly professional, kind, and communicates effectively, which I truly appreciate given my busy schedule. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of my dog; I can see how comfortable my pup is with her, and the frequent updates during bookings give me complete peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

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.
