About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog received while we were away on vacation. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt loved, comfortable, and well-exercised every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. From daily walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and photos, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her and it showed! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything about the quality of care provided. We are so grateful and highly recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs!”
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!
About: Hi I'm Ryan! I've worked professionally in the animal industry for 5 years. I started my journey as a dog handler at a daycare. Now I'm currently a dog groomer, walker, and sitter. I also have 6 dogs myself! I have experience looking after dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and exotic pets. I can't wait to meet your fur babies. I have plenty of free time and would like for this to be my full time job for while! I do plan on going to a local college but other than that I'm pretty free for scheduling. I come to your house to make it easier on your pets. I'll stop in a couple times a day to feed, water, let them go outside, and play with them. I'll make sure your babies are not lonely when you are gone. I also offer luxury walks for your pups so they can get the exercise they need to stay happy and keep you happy.
“Molly was super responsive to my messages. She agreed to walk my Millie with little notice, before even meeting. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog-walker.”
About: I have spent my whole life caring for animals! As a toddler and young child, I would chase dog walkers down the sidewalk calling out, “excuse me, can I pet your dog?” Animals seem to sense my love for them, as they tend to be especially friendly and calm around me. I’ve seen this as a horseback rider and barn volunteer, regular pet sitter for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages, and as the “favorite human” of many dogs in my life! I would love the opportunity to help your animals experience peace, safety, and fun while we’re together. My schedule is very flexible. I currently am taking a gap year from college and have free hours available to care for your pets. I have access to my own car to come to you. I am willing to come to your home, meet you and your pets, and take care of them, including feedings, walks, play, exercise, companionship, and other caring needs.
About: Hi! I’m Kyle — a reliable, active, and detail-oriented pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals and years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection I would want for my own. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks, outdoor time, structured routines, and giving dogs the engagement they need to stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves high-energy adventures, slow sniff walks, playtime, or simply companionship and consistency, I adapt to their individual needs. My background in coaching and leadership has made me extremely dependable, communicative, and organized. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is safe and having a great time. I’m especially good with: * High-energy dogs that need exercise and structure * Nervous or shy dogs that need patience and calm handling * Puppies working on routines and consistency * Senior dogs needing extra care and attention * Large breeds and strong pullers Safety and trust are my top priorities. I pay close attention to leash safety, surroundings, hydration, body language, and overall comfort during every walk or stay. I also understand how important communication is when trusting someone with your pet, so I pride myself on being responsive, punctual, and transparent. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, overnight sitting, vacation coverage, or last-minute help, I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make your life easier. I currently work from home, so I'm flexible at multiple points in the day. I will be able to provide high quality service up to 4:00 pm every day. In the evenings I do have commitments to my soccer teams that I coach. However I can also stop by after 8 pm if needed for late night walks. I will come to your place and walk or if needed a short car ride to an appropriate area to walk your dog for as long as needed. Hikes, or long walks can also be included.
About: I have had a dog almost my whole life and have taken care of him especially when he got older and couldn’t do stuff oh his own. I will be sure to take great care of your dogs when you are away and I will check in with you so you know how your dog has been. On weekends I have nothing to do so I am able to go to your house and take care of your pet as much as needed. I will make sure to be respectful to you and your furry friend, I will take them on walks, make sure to feed them , and play with them.

About: I’ve been around animals ever since I could walk, I’ve always had a love for them. I started pet sitting family members animals ever since the age of 12. I also have prior experience working in a doggy daycare so I have some professional experience caring for animals as well. I currently work full-time, I have funky hours so I have a lot of time free as well. I’m more so looking to pet sit at your home over boarding due to the family I reside with being allergic to dogs. Every animal is different because some have restrictions or specify routines. Therefore I would really just listen to what the animal parents schedules are with their animals and follow that.
About: I’m a professional dog trainer and licensed vet tech. I have over 30 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. I do pet sitting, walking and training as my full time job. I am available all days and nights, including holidays, for your pet’s care. I can stay in your pet’s own home or just do visits as needed. I walk dogs on your leash and collars or my own harnesses.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, including a German Shepherd and a Harrier, I understand that every dog has their own needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs, going on longer walks and outdoor adventures, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and take safety seriously, whether that means keeping a close eye on a dog’s behavior, following specific care instructions, or adjusting to what makes an individual dog most comfortable. I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and respect I’d want someone to give my own dogs I’m currently working full time as an EMT with rotating week days and weekends. This means I’d have plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention and exercise needed on my days off. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pets, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I treat every animal like I would my own and take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, boundaries, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient with pets that may need a little extra time to warm up, and I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I’m never putting them in a situation they’re uncomfortable with. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I’ll keep you updated and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
About: I've been dog, cat, and baby sitting since I was 12 years old (I'm 25 now). I guess I've always had a nurturing quality about me😄. I've grown up with many pets, (dogs, rabbit, turtle, hamsters, degus, etc...) and love to give them the best care, because they deserve it! Currently I have a 5 year old pup named Muffin. She is the sweetest girl in the world! Currently she's visiting my parents (her grand-pawrents🥹) who she loves sooo much. I miss her DEARLY but I will pour that love into your fur baby instead!❤️ My schedule is open at the moment, and I'm ready to care for your precious pups. I'm flexible with my time, and if you have specific care requests, so feel free to reach out with any questions/requests. I will put the safety of your pup first, in all situations. I don't crate pups, I don't let pups go up to others when on walks, or take them to dog parks (unless desired by owner). I keep the pup leashed at all times outside, unless otherwise stated by the owner. I have had no accidents while pet sitting, and do not intend to. You and your pups safety and happiness are my top priority. If your pup wants pets for an hour, I'll pet them for an hour, if they want to play fetch or other games, I'll do that! I just want to ensure your pup is well loved and cared for.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have a 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a 1.5 year old Pomsky, so I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a home with my girlfriend, her two children, and our two friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new furry friends. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, they'll be treated like a member of our family. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a job where I work from home so am home most of the day to take care of all of the puppy needs! :) We have 2 dogs to keep your puppy company. We have an unfenced yard that we can take your dog out on a leash as often as needed for potty breaks. We also have a couple kids who love dogs and would love to have more puppies to play with.
About: My love for dogs began at a very young age, nothing can make me happier. I assisted my mom in running her kennel for many years, (we had 6 of our own) i was able to learn a lot from that and even got familiar with delivering puppies and working with dogs on behavioral issues before they were placed into their permanent homes. At 18 i got a job working as a kennel technician at a local pet shoppe, after showing my hard work and dedication i was given their assistant manager title! and i now own 2 dogs of my own, Everest & Copper. I am always willing to see if i can make something work out! i have a job but consistent hours can be a struggle within my work place. I truly believe that its all up to the owner, every dog is very different and has their own schedule and way they like to do things ! communication and listening to my clients is very important to me in order to make sure I'm respecting wishes and making their pup comfortable and happy as possible during our times spent together.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I will have plenty of time to care for your pup. I am available for boarding, pet sitting, walks, daily check-ins, and lots of cuddles and playtime. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups your furbaby will be more than happy to play with for hours at a time.

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 Fortney. 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.

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 .

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.
