“I highly recommend Elizabeth for her dog walks. I have a more difficult dog with barking and social anxiety and she handled my little dog like a champ and it came back happy as a clam, exhausted, and perfect. I will be a repeat weekly with this gal. Go with Elizabeth!”


“Graciela was awesome. On time, great communication and she was able to work through a hiccup with my key. Yoshi looked like a happy pup on his walk. She was also very open to a in person meet and greet. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.”


About: Surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve helped care for family pets and lovingly raised my own for 3 years. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and a safe, loving space while keeping owners informed. I am currently available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting on Fridays in the evening, typically between 7:30–8:00 PM or later and Saturday and Sundays. I’m dependable, follow your pet’s routine, and always share photo updates so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and supervised. I follow your instructions, keep everything secure, and send updates. I also have a friendly, energetic dog who’s happy to play — only if you and your dog are comfortable.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals from fish to lizards. I take of care my own dogs and cat currently and babysit for family and friends. I currently have the summers off due to being a teacher. This allows me to have open availability all summer! I’m available for all services. I have woods in backyard and a dog park across street to provide plenty of exercise. I would take care of your pets as you wish. Anywhere from a hour walk to a few snuggles in the middle day, I’m happy to do it.
About: I have watched the pets of friends, family, and peers of mine and have had an amazing time doing it! I also had a family dog and I have a cat of my own! I have watched / walked pets of many ages, weights and temperaments and I have been happy with all of them! I am respectful towards boundaries of pets, and have experience grooming my own pets who are reactive at the grooming salon and are better at home. I also have lots of walking dog experience as well. I am working part-time on the weekends, I am able to stay overnight during weekends. I cannot bring any other pet home because of my own cat but I am able to travel and stay at other houses on the weekends. I am able to do one day pet sitting and short and long dog walks as well. I am able to also take dogs or cats on car rides if needed as well! I have cared for my family dog along side my family for her whole 13 year life, she was a yellow lab. I now have a maine coon who is 19 lbs and has double hip dysplasia and a bad knee who is 5 years old. I have groomed both of those pets, walked both of those pets on leashes and taken daily care and made sure any problems they have had, had been helped and treated with care. I safely take directions from owners whose pets I have watched and followed them fully and have reached out an asked questions and made them aware of everything that had happened when they were gone. I take pet care very seriously and I always bring up anything I notice is wrong and always make sure the pets safety and happiness is priority!
“Jackie did a great job for us! We had several changes to the schedule which she was more than happy to acommodate. We so appreciated her flexibility and willingness to roll with the changes. Would definitely request her anytime we need it. Thank you Jackie!”


“Kailey is amazing! She leaves great notes on her visit and amazing pictures. I am soo grateful for her and she has my 100% recommendation!! My pup Legs is my everything and I feel great knowing he is in her care.”

“Julie was great with my elderly dog! She was kind and personable and always cheerful! I appreciated her taking such good care of Rogue and walking her in treacherous conditions like ice and snow! I’d definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personal experience I bring to every pet I care for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I know firsthand how important reliable, attentive, and compassionate care is — because that’s exactly what I want for my own pets. I have experience working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement like potty training, crate training, leash manners, and positive behavior encouragement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, mobility support, or just a little extra patience and gentleness. Beyond the basics, I pay attention to the small details — each pet’s personality, routines, comfort needs, and quirks. Whether it’s energetic playtime, structured walks, cuddle sessions, or calm companionship, I tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. To me, this isn’t just pet sitting — it’s caring for a member of your family. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with genuine love, responsibility, and respect. Pet care is naturally built into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my day around my own pets’ needs. Every morning and evening include scheduled walks and potty breaks to keep dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I provide morning and evening feedings, with fresh water available at all times throughout the day. In addition to scheduled breaks, I let dogs out as needed — paying close attention to their cues to make sure they’re comfortable and never waiting too long. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. I prioritize consistency, supervision, exercise, and affection, making sure each pet feels secure and well cared for from morning to night. My care always depends on the service requested, but my priority is the same in every setting: safety, consistency, and lots of love. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of my daily routine. I maintain structured morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks throughout the day, scheduled feedings, and constant access to fresh water. I create a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment where they can relax comfortably. I follow the owner’s instructions closely — whether that’s crate training, reinforcing puppy training, administering medication, or providing extra support for senior dogs. I also make sure they receive plenty of playtime, affection, and supervision so they feel secure and at home. In My Client’s Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, potty breaks, medication instructions, and any household guidelines exactly as requested. I respect your home and keep everything clean and organized. Most importantly, I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. No matter the location, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, attention to detail, and genuine love. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.
About: I've been around animals my whole life! Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also worked for Wag, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much about caring for pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and I only work part time, so I can care for your pets at almost any time of day, especially mornings and afternoons. In a client's home, the pets are in a familiar environment with an unfamiliar person. So, the first thing I do is give the pets a chance to get used to me! Let them sniff me, let them approach me at their own pace.
About: I’ve grown up owning and taking care of all kinds of animals my whole life. I have two years of professional experience with dog handling and dog walking. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have an opened availability. I’m available every day of the week. I require a 24 hour notice if you are canceling your appointment with your fur baby. I always make sure any fur baby around me is safe, comfortable, and happy. I always use positive, calm tones. I’m always very patient and sympathetic. I always try to understand an animal and their background. As someone who has owned and has worked with animals with abusive backgrounds, I find it very important to connect with and understand the animal. I understand that not everyone can be approached the same way, and some will need more patience than others. Treats are always a gateway to be an animal’s best friend too. (Unless you don’t want your fur baby to receive treats. I totally understand that some animals have allergies and food restrictions)!
“Excellent immediate communication always. Two days 1.5 hrs late out of 9 days but otherwise on time. I did not see Quazaye with my dog when she was walking him but could tell he was missing her when time ended. Always sent pics, consistent. Would use again! Thank you for your service.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with a true love for animals. I currently have a 6 year old Maltipoo and a cat, and I grew up with two Yorkies, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, which gave me experience with animal care and safety. I treat every pet like my own and can provide dog-sitting references upon request! I currently am very flexible and have an open schedule! I can work around schedules if need be. I’m used to taking my dog out early in the mornings. I care for pets by meeting their needs that they need. I can crate them if needed and have a clean and safe house. To make your fur babies comfortable.
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years because I actually enjoy the 'tricky' stuff. From helping my own senior dog with bladder issues to winning over an abused, reactive Rottweiler, I have a lot of heart for pets that need a little extra patience. I’m also totally comfortable with bearded dragons and cats! I’m used to walking dogs in areas without fences, so I’m very careful on the leash and always keep safety first. I’ve had to clean up after bad sitters so I'll make sure your house stays spotless and your pets stay happy while you’re gone! Animals are a huge part of my daily life, so I build my schedule around making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available Monday-Sunday with Flexible Hours and am always happy to help with last-minute requests or holiday bookings when you're in a pinch. Which is perfect for seniors needing extra potty breaks or reactive pups who need a calm, un-rushed walks. I make your pet's routine my top priority every single day! Safety is Always my top priority, but keeping your pets happy is a close second! Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, dog, or bearded dragon (exc. I stick strictly to the routine you’ve set so they feel totally secure while you're gone. Since I’m used to walking pups in areas without fences, I’m always extra careful to double-check leashes and harnesses before we head out the door. I’m also a bit of a neat freak so I’ll make sure your home is pet-proofed and leave it even cleaner than I found it. I’m a big believer in open communication, so expect plenty of photo updates of your best friends (scales or fur!) so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands!
“Alexis was very accommodating right from the beginning! Not only was she able to fit me in the same week while meeting my dog prior, but she made sure to let me know when she was arriving to my apartment along with sending a picture at the end. I would definitely recommend and plan to use her again!”

About: I have been a dog owner my whole life! I’m one of those people that has to stop myself from petting dogs on the street. Your pup will be nothing but loved by me, no matter the size or age. I can train, walk, bathe, and play with your pup. I am available just about every day including weekends. I have owned dogs that range in size from miniature dachshunds to English Springer Spaniels to Golden Retrievers. Whether it’s walks, drop ins, or an over night stay, I’m happy to help out whenever! I am a registered nurse that is very comfortable with more complicated and elderly pets. I lost both of my golden retrievers to cancer within the last 3 years and am very familiar with medication management and wound care as needed. I currently live in a very large apartment (1600+ square feet) with its own entrance and a very pet friendly, walkable community. Your animals have free roam of the home and constant outdoor time with me My schedule is light and ever changing during the summer. If I accept to watch a pet, they will not be alone for more than a couple hours at a time. Multiple daily walks and time spent with them. I currently have no pets in the home. Feeding and activity schedules are completely based on your requirements and pets needs. They have access to the whole home and all the attention they need.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
