“Madison is awesome with Cashmere. Madison is communicative, arrives promptly, respectful of our home by taking off her shoes as she dresses Cashmere for the walk. I would recommend Madison to others.”
About: I care for pets the same way I care for my own family, with patience, reliability, and real affection. I pay close attention to the details that matter to each pet such as favorite toys, routines, quirks, energy levels, or comfort needs. I am especially good with puppies who need extra guidance and consistency and with senior pets who benefit from a slower pace and a gentle touch. I make it a priority to communicate with you often so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you are away. What truly sets me apart is the combination of responsibility and genuine love behind everything I do which helps pets feel comfortable, understood, and cared for every moment they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already build my days around structure and responsibility as a Lipscomb student. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for regular walks, feeding times, play breaks, and check ins. I enjoy starting my mornings with movement, so taking pets out early fits perfectly. I also have long breaks between classes which allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. On weekends I am even more available, so I can focus fully on longer walks, outings, and extra attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it feels like a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday routine. I live in an apartment that is clean, comfortable, and set up to be a safe space for pets. When caring for pets in my home I follow whatever routines they are used to, keep their environment calm, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I am mindful of their comfort and always keep their feeding, crate, and potty schedules consistent with what they know. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home I make sure to respect their space and follow their established routines exactly. I keep everything clean, stick to the instructions you provide, and give your pet the same level of love and attention they would get if you were home. Whether I am in my own apartment or in your home my focus is always on making your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.
About: My sweet goldendoodle, Lily, passed away almost 3 years ago and while I'm not quite ready to get another dog, I am missing having a dog in my life. I have experience in every stage of life from puppy to senior. I work 10 minutes from home and would love to love on someone's dog while they are away. Thought this would be a great way to do that! I'm an active person so I would love nothing more than to walk your dog before and after work, can also do lunch if needed. Weekends allow even more time for all of that. Just an animal lover trying to make some extra income. I do live in a condo so I don't have a fenced in situation but that being said my community is fully of dogs and very walkable. We also have a dog park. Pets in my home are like family so unless they need to be in a kennel out of concern for destroying things and/or during the puppy phase, I tend to prefer letting them roam my condo.
“Kait was amazing and so easy to communicate with! So glad she brought her pup along for Ralph to have someone to play and walk with!! 10/10 recommend! She sent lots of updates and pictures!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around furry friends has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also spent lots of time dog/cat sitting for family and friends, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs and cuddles, or just hanging out together, I’m always happy to keep your pet company! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I’m able to work around my schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they have everything they need, including fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I know that being away from their owners can be an adjustment for pets, so I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m happy to spend extra time with them, give them lots of cuddles and playtime, and make sure they’re never feeling lonely. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I give your pets. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your furry family members are in good hands while you’re away!
About: My family has had many pets and I raised and took care of them all since I was a little kid. From Dogs, Cats, Ducks, and Parrots. I’ve done nail and beak clippings to just taking dogs for walks. I am currently a student athlete at Lipscomb University and love animals so I’m looking to make a little money on the side taking care of any pets. I take care of all my dogs and cats when I’m at home and throughout my childhood. I can feed, clean, or take dogs for walks.
“I hired Haley for daily morning walks with our pups. Haley has been walking them for the past week. She is punctual, friendly, and the dogs really enjoy their walks with her! Highly recommend her for your dogs walks.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and dealt with many different kinds! I personally have 2 Belgian malinois, zero and Mila. I volunteer at local dog shelters and help with adoption events in my community! I’m currently a college freshman at Columbia state so I have lots of time between classes. I currently work a part time job usually in the mornings on weekends but it’s very flexible so my schedule is open and able to move around! I’m not available for pet care at my own home but I crate my own dogs so I am familiar with that and I’m willing to learn any personal needs your dogs might have!
About: Hi! I’m Ella 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover with tons of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m active, attentive, and always happy to give plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. I’m also comfortable with different routines and making sure your pup feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’d love to help! I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can be flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’ll always make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and care they need! As someone who has experience caring for multiple dogs of different ages and personalities, I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to laid-back senior dogs. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and stress-free.

“Kathy is amazing with Gwen! She’s super reliable and always keeps us in the loop with updates. You can tell she genuinely enjoys the dogs she walks. Highly recommend!”
“We LOVE Avery! She is so gentle and kind! Avery is communicative, proactive, responsive, and clear. She thinks ahead, confirms scheduling questions, sends TONS of cutie pics, is super observant and lets you know of any atypical qualities in your pet, and is beyond flexible. The first time my dog, Sasha, met Avery, she acted like they had known each other forever! What a gift to make dogs feel so safe, comfortable, and at home! We enjoy using Avery on a recurring basis for midday walks, and I'm so thankful for her availability and flexibility in scheduling! Couldn't ask for more!!”
“Fantastic sitter! We were visiting from out of town and never used Rover before. Maimee was quick to respond and flexible when we needed to adjust the schedule. She was communicative and gave us peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of. Will absolutely book again with her when we return to Nashville.”

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 Forest Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
