“Chandra was super nice and took on a last minute dog walk request; she also put in some extra time to make sure they had a chance to do their business. Highly recommend working with her!”

“Morgan is amazing! She really helped me out when I was in a pinch with a last minute booking. Even interrupted her Valentine’s Day plans to chat with me. Would love to work with her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, pet sit, feed, and care for their pets. I currently work remotely with tons of opportunities for breaks to walk your pup(s). I am also frequently available on weekends and holidays morning, noon, and night. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in their home, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and unique personalities so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, medication, litter box maintenance, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, as well as cats of all ages, including kittens and seniors. As a kitten foster and senior cat owner, I'm comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. I also make sure pet parents stay updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for at home.
“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”
“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”

About: I grew up walking my neighbor's dogs and have always had a soft spot in my heart for them. I feel a kindred connection to Huskies because of my active lifestyle, but really just like all dogs. I can run, walk, or Netfix with all breeds! I work in the schools and am currently on summer break, so I have time to get into dog walking and pet sitting more consistently at the moment. Dogs are quite friendly and respectful with me. I'd like to think I am the same with them in that I can lead them but also follow their cues. I can also adhere to whatever instructions the owners give when sitting or walking.

About: Hello! As a lifelong cat owner and recent but enthusiastic dog sitter/walker, I'm prepared to give your pets the dedicated, stress-free care they deserve right in the comfort of their own home. Over the past year, my professional experience has focused heavily on high-quality drop-in visits for my dedicated clients. To round out my professional experience, I spent last summer walking my sister's dog, which gave me great real-world experience managing a pup out on a leash. Safe, Attentive Drop-Ins & Walks: Whether I am stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a stroll, safety is my absolute highest priority. Before stepping out the front door, I perform a thorough security check on all harnesses, collars, and leashes to prevent any sudden escapes. I track our route closely and actively avoid chaotic environments or un-introduced dogs. Your pup will get a fantastic mix of mental stimulation, healthy exercise, and fresh air. 🗓️ Service Schedule & Weight Limits: Drop-Ins: Monday through Saturday — Up to 100 lbs. Dog Walking: Monday, Wednesday, Friday — Up to 60 lbs (must be well leash-trained). Core Visiting Hours: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. (Please Note: I am unavailable for early morning visits before 10:00 AM or late-night visits after 8:00 PM). Core Walking Hours: 10:00 AM to Sunset/Dusk (Please Note: For pet safety and visibility, I do not schedule outdoor walks after daylight hours.) Booking Buffer: I require a minimum of 3 days' notice for all new clients so we can comfortably schedule a required Meet & Greet prior to booking. ● To maintain a safe and trustworthy environment, a brief, 15-minute Meet & Greet is mandatory for all first-time clients before a booking can be confirmed. ● I am highly proactive about pet wellness and am currently planning to expand my skill set with formal pet first aid training in the near future. ● Please note that clients must provide all necessary cleaning supplies for their pets' spaces.

I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs.

This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, or other pet care needs throughout the day. I have both a cat and a dog at home, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities.

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.
