“Tamara is so patient with our anxious dog! Our dog warmed up so quickly to Tamara and its a relief knowing our pup will be looking forward to walks while we are away at work. Tamara sends great updates and leaves notes to let us know how our dog is doing while we are at the office. She even came for a meet and greet to make sure our dog felt safe with her before her first walk.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life! I had a puppy as a young girl, and cared for her through her old age. I also have extensive pet sitting experience, and have watched 5 dogs simultaneously. I have a very caring personality and would love to care for your fur babies! When it comes to cats, I have about 12 years of experience. I have taken care of numerous outdoor stray cats, and have rehomed many of them, including taking two into my own home. I am self employed (jewelry artist!) so I have plenty of time to check in with your pets, walk/play etc. I am available anytime during the week (M-F) and usually on the weekends as well. I currently live in a small apartment, and would need to come by you. I am excellent at following directions, and will cater to you and your pets needs.
“Natalia walks both our dogs and she's great with them. They're so excited to see her and she's so courteous when coming to the house or bringing them home. We will continue to have her walk our very energetic pup and older gentlemen for weekly walks and have no reservations about fully recommending her.”
About: I've spent a few years pet-sitting for family members and friends with many dogs and some cats. I can do feedings, walks, play-time, baths, or whatever is needed. I can also administer medication in liquid form , tablets, or topical ointments. I am currently volunteering/fostering at a cat shelter! I've lived with dogs and I also have my own 2-year-old cat that is living her best life. I am currently a graduate student with classes once per week, clinic twice per week, and a part-time job. I am otherwise available: Saturdays/Sundays any time Mondays and Tuesdays after 6pm Thursdays before 11am and after 4pm Fridays before 4pm I will always respect an animal's boundaries and adjust to their personality. I like giving them their space and letting them control the situation. I can provide minimal care if needed, such as feeding or basic check-ins, or I can go beyond that and also provide walks, play time, baths, etc. I will do whatever is best for you and your pet! :)
“I’m so glad Edgar is taking care of my dog during the day. I love getting my message and pictures, and I know he’s getting exercise, a potty break and some attention. I highly recommend Edgar to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“I am so happy to be able to rely on the fact that James is extremely punctual. He is here every morning at the designated time. He has been patient with my small dog, who has a preference for women and has had to grow accustomed to a male dog walker. James has given him space and encouragement.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I’ve had many dogs over the years and all were loved, cared for, and given a life they deserve. I’m currently working part time and have hybrid classes. So, I have time to meet the needs of families and their fur babies. I am available to drop in the day, or spend nights to make sure your animals are cared for. I make sure they have clean water and food when needed. I let them out to run around and take pets on walks. I brush animals to make their coats soft, and offer baths.
About: Hi, I’m Gabriela! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been officially pet sitting since 2023. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention to gentle senior dogs who require a softer touch and steady routine. Because I work a standard 9-to-4 schedule Monday through Friday, I’m available for evening visits and overnights during the week, with full, open availability on the weekends. I’m proud to have maintained a 4.9-star rating across 64 reviews, and I always aim to give every dog the same genuine care, comfort, and attention I'd want for my own. Weekday care is ideal for drop ins or dogs that are used to this schedule. Weekends offer complete flexibility for full day care, longer walks, or taking on puppies and dogs with higher daytime needs. I have 1 pup that is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends. This is good for pups that are used to having someone around so that they don’t feel lonely.
About: I run a dog walking and training business in Chicago, and pet care is at the center of everything I do. I hold a search and rescue dog training certification, which means I bring real behavioral know-how to every walk: reading body language, managing leash reactivity, and helping anxious dogs feel safe in new environments. Whether it's a high-energy pup needing a solid outlet or a senior dog needing a gentler pace, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I'm background-checked and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can trust your pup is in steady, capable hands. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my business, so dog walks and visits are built into the core of my week rather than squeezed in around something else. I keep a flexible daily schedule that lets me offer consistent walk times your dog can count on, plus room for same-week bookings when plans change. Mornings and early afternoons tend to be my most open windows, and I'm always happy to work with you to find a recurring time that fits your routine. Safety comes first on every walk. I'm background-checked, and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can feel confident handing over your leash. Before a first walk, I always do a meet and greet to get a feel for your dog's temperament, energy level, and any triggers, so I can adjust my approach accordingly, with secure leash handling and close attention to signs of stress or fatigue. In your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors and gates secure and leaving everything exactly as I found it.

“Angelina is fantastic with Griffey! She is super communicative, punctual, and makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Love the updates and photos too; it’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’m an animal lover and long time cat mom to rescues. I’ve been pet sitting since I’ve been a teen. Most of my pet sitting jobs have come from families that I babysit for or referrals. I have amazing references. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes. I enjoy long walks and nature. I’m trustworthy, reliable, dedicated, loving and caring. I treat everyone’s pets as if they were my own. I take pride in walking, feeding, and providing endless affection to all pets. I always provide extra love and care for my clients fur-babies! I have no problem collecting mail or packages, tending to the garden or flowers, and keeping the house tidy.

About: I am a human nurse and have a dog with hemiplegia, so I am well-versed in bladder expression and monitoring for injury. Having 3 special needs pets, means I know how to administer oral medication, eyedrops, injections, and topicals I am not an early riser so if you have a late night out, midnight is not a problem! My availability varies upon my work schedule. I will follow the instructions the pawrents have left. Give all the scritches and love your pet deserves and is accustomed to with photos updates and video
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I can provide expert care for every stage of your pets life , I have knowledge of various breeds and species I have good techniques for safe handling. I start each day by planning in prioritizing my pets care. whether it’s morning walks or feeding schedules or administering medications throughout the week, I maintain a schedule that accommodates both regular visits and any special needs such as training sessions or senior care. I for example, have a snake in my house. I ensure that they are integrated into a safe and good environment. I provided dedicated space for rest for them as usual diet and feeding schedule every two days I give them water And give them two times a month mice, snakes are more tended to grow when they are fed more. For my client that I used to sitter their routine was different it was based on play , tend to their needs and routines. Since their pets enjoyed regular exercise . We would go to nearby parks and maintain usual diet three times a day and around the clock supervision.

Another great booking with Rosario! We booked her for drop in visits for our dog while we were out of state for a wedding. She always sends lots of photos and videos of our boy having a great time - putting us at ease that he’s in good hands. Our return flight got cancelled multiple times and Rosario was so helpful and flexible with extending her visits so our boy wasn’t left alone until we finally got home two days later. We are so grateful
James did a great job with my dog, Daisy! He walked her once on Thursday and twice on Saturday, and everything went really smoothly. He was always on time, friendly, and clearly comfortable with her. Daisy currently has an injured knee, so she needs limited activity, and James was very attentive to that. He listened to my instructions and took great care of her. I also appreciated the updates and photos through the Rover app after each visit—it gave me peace of mind. I felt very comfortable with James and will definitely be booking him again!
Jessica is marvelous! My dog EllieBean takes a while to warm up to new people. Jessica took her time over several visits to gain EB's trust. She was patient and professional, even when the weather and EB were a challenge. They have now become great friends. In addition, Jessica is a pleasure to work with and always shows up on time. I'm so grateful to have found Jessica!
This is our second booking with Carly. She’s been extremely efficient and friendly with our dog. Each time she walked him through the area he liked and he always enjoyed his time with her, you could tell how happy he was when they returned. We recommend Carly 100%!

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 View. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 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.
