“Alex has been so great with our pup, Toby! Our dog has a lot of energy and a lot of quirks and Alex was so patient with him. Alex clearly cares a lot about dogs and I know Toby is well taken care of!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I have personal experience owning both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided in-home pet care for both drop-ins and overnight stays. I have a car, so I’m happy to take a trip to the dog park or explore new areas for a walk! Whether it’s checking in, going for walks, or just giving some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Animals bring me so much joy, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for short walks during the day. In the morning and evenings I can take longer walks. I am committed to making sure you are stress-free when it comes to pet care, so I will update you with photos, videos, and messages every time I take care of your furry friend! I’m happy to send as many updates as will make you comfortable!
About: I have a senior dog and cat, and have always had multiple cats and foster dogs in my home. I will walk, play, and snuggle your pets like they are my own! I have been taking care of friends' and neighbors' pets for several years. I also have experience providing medication. I am currently not working as I am home from college for summer break. I have an online class from 12-2 every day, so I will have plenty of free time to take care and play with your pets! I can play with your pets and walk them. I also have experience with giving medication and taking care of older animals. I will snuggle them and give them lots of love while you're gone!
“Kayla was wonderful with my dog - she was highly responsive and shared both photos and videos of their adventures. I appreciated the details she shared about my dog’s walks and other activities. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Scotty was great for dog walking. Took excellent car of our dog and gave him much needed exercise on days we couldn't be home with Stripes! Would recommend him and use him again!”
“We are extremely pleased and worry free with David in charge of our 3 fur babies. He received immediate approval from the leader of the pack, during the Meet & Greet. The youngest is a socialite so his opinion didn't quite count. Then there is the cautious one, after a test walk he sauntered over to get a scratch behind the ears. With David providing the mid-afternoon walk, everyone sleeps great at night. He exhausts their energy. David has been an awesome addition to supporting the boys with our crazy work schedules. One of us is able to telework with some office hours during the week. However the office hours can fluctuate, all we have to do is reach out to David and ask him to add a walk. If you read reviews, like I do, I am willing to vouch for his compassion for his job, our furry family members and his integrity!”
“Cassie is just awesome! Cassie makes sure that Coco is having a good time during her morning walks. Cassie provides detailed information about the walks and shares Coco’s pictures. Cassie makes sure Coco is happy and tired by the end of her walks.”
“Betty is now my "go-to" walker for Orion. She goes above and beyond to ensure he's taken care of. Thank you and Orion and I look forward to continued business with you. AAA+++👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿”
“Alyssa is wonderful and very thoughtful! She was very loving and patient with Ivy. We can’t wait to use Alyssa again. Ivy really likes Alyssa and looks forward to seeing her. Thank you for a great job every day.”
“First time rover customer here, needless to say I was a little timid relying on a stranger with my dog. I was so surprised to find such a caring walker for my pup! She truly exudes kindness for animals and took great care of our dogs and even kept our cats company! I trust my dog and she bonded quickly with Olena, so that tells me all I needed to know! As long as she’s on the app, she will be my first choice for a rover. 100/10 service, thank you.”
About: I love pets like my own. Clean home, big heart—because your dog deserves more than care; they deserve connection, comfort, and genuine attention. Due to personal preference or local laws, I do not accept Pitbulls, Dobermans, Rottweilers, or Cane Corsos. I'm home daily with a flexible schedule to care for your pup with focused love, peace, calm, and personal care -- just like you would. Meet and greet is required! I have a spacious, fenced yard and a cozy indoor space. Just tell me your pup's routine, needs, and preferences.
About: I have started taking care of neighbors and family friends pets ever since I was 11 years old. I have experience pet sitting cats and dogs. The clients I would pet sit for have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and provide medicine to their pets. I am currently working from home from 8:30-5:30 on weekdays, but I am usually available in the mornings before 8:30 am and in the evenings after 5:30 pm. My weekends are very flexible. I have a dog, who is very active and friendly! He gets along with other animals and will be able to keep your pet company!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life! I’ve also been a dog owner my whole life so I am very familiar with dogs. Built on trust, driven by love and dedicated to exceptional care! I am currently a stay at home military wife who has plenty of time for individualized and attentive care. I can be flexible with your schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard, that is well care for and cleaned nightly. And I also have a wonderful 4.5 goldendoodle who is great with other dogs!
“Peter has been so great with my dog Milo! He has a history of anxiety and is not always great with other dogs, but Peter has been so patient with him despite his quirks! I look forward to continue booking him for future care needs :)”
About: For over 24 years, our dogs have been more than pets — they’ve been family. We’ve cared for two beloved dogs, including one with special needs and epilepsy, which gave us firsthand experience administering daily medication and responding calmly during emergency situations. We understand the patience, attention, and love that special-needs pets require because we’ve lived it ourselves. We know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your animal, and that’s why we care for every dog as if they were our own — with compassion, safety, and the same love we gave our own family pets. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as it did for 22 years. During the summer, our teenage son is also home and enjoys helping with walks, playtime, and attention. Our daughter is also a huge helper and has a love for animals. Dogs receive consistent care, companionship, and plenty of love. We care for pets like they are part of the family. In our home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. We also have experience administering daily medications and caring for special-needs pets. In a client’s home, we follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Absolutely lovely! Very accommodating and thorough. Gentle and kind with my baby any conversational. Early. Always on time. And communicative. I dont trust many people with my girl. He has been an extreme help in many ways and deserves everything that he works for and more. WONDERFUL person and just a genuinely nice guy.
After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕
Cassidy is simply amazing ! I was impressed with the map of where she walked my dogs and time of check in and checkout! She even stairf a few extra minutes ! And also left a great report about their walk .. it felt like I was right there! She truly cares about my doggies (and I am sure all other animals) and I am so happy I found her ! She is becoming a part of my dogs routine. I would highly recommend Cassidy !

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 Franconia. 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 , 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 .
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.
