About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! I will be out of the country starting Sep 6 until mid November. I will have access to internet so if you are looking for services after mid-November, then please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.
“jenifer was great with our eight month old puppy Tate. I appreciate her being patient and flexible and we are looking forward to working with her more in the future.”
“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”
“Daria did a great job walking my somewhat temperamental dog. She was very reliable and he was excited to see her every day. I would be very happy using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline was awesome with my babies and really cared for them as if they were her own. Communicated throughout the days with me and I appreciate that. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my entire life. They’ve taught me how to be patient and understanding when it comes to dogs being in new surroundings with new people. Dogs have trauma, reactions, and behaviors similar to humans, but just expressed differently. My own dog is reactive (leash/towards other dogs), so I have learned techniques to lessen her fears. She— along with other dogs that have been around me— have made me an adaptable dog person who will help your dog feel comfortable and supported while you’re not around. Hi, I’m Barbie! I’ve grown up with 45-65lb rescue dogs my entire life. While I have a soft spot for bigger dogs and bully breeds (the more misunderstood in media, the more I love them), I adore animals of absolutely every shape, size, and species, and have experience with dogs of all ages/sizes (limited experience with seniors, but would love opportunities to increase my professional experience). My greatest (and favorite) teacher is my own Malinois/Lab mix rescue, Padfoot—an intelligent, high-energy, and dog/leash-reactive fur baby. Because of her, I am fully equipped, patient, and hyper-vigilant when handling dog/leash-reactive/energetic dogs. Whether your dog pulls, barks, or just needs extra personal space (and positive reinforcement)) on a walk, I know how to keep both of us safe and stress-free. I promise to treat your dog(s) with the same passion, love, advocacy, and care, that I give Paggy. If you want a highly reliable and sitter who understands canine body language and deeply respects your dog's unique quirks, let's connect! In the effort to be fully transparent, I’m currently searching for a full-time job. However, I’m here to build genuine, lasting relationships! I fully intend to continue any walking/day-sitting needed on a part-time basis. I can stay at your home for 2-3 hours at a time (multiple times during the day) and walk your dogs one at a time. While I am SO excited for the opportunity to walk 100lb+ dogs, I can only safely walk gentle giants that do not pull. If you have a yard, I will supplement any high-energy dog with enrichment activities and plenty of fetch. I cannot dog sit overnight since I have my own fur baby.
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
“Jesica took the time to meet and get to know our dog Otter before taking him out on his walk. Jesica is prompt and communicative! Otter loves his walks with Jesica. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Genevieve was wonderful! Very responsible and clearly cares deeply for animals. As a new pet owner, she made us feel very comfortable and confident having her be with our new pup. Highly recommend her - we plan to continue to use her in the future!”
“Cynthia was amazing! She was prompt in taking our dog for a walk everyday while we were away. Cynthia sent pics of our dog each time and kept in touch with us, which was reassuring. We would highly recommend Cynthia and would definitely use her next time.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best care. I am attentive, reliable, and focused on giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. In addition to general pet care, I’m comfortable with senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. I often walk to the park, which give me the opportunity to interact with dogs from other neighbors or friends. I really enjoy these walks, where the dogs can socialize and explore, making me feel comfortable taking care of them in the future. Also, during our outings, I always make sure to be attentive to the needs of the dogs I meet, giving them quality time and exercise. My approach is always in an active environment, full of love and respect, and I’d love to share that with the pets. I live with my two daughters, and we’re always looking for outdoor activities. We love going to the park, where we play, run, and explore together. When I care for a pet, I make sure they enjoy these walks and have a great time. I provide a safe and comfortable space at home, with lots of attention and love, and of course, I enjoy taking them to local parks where they can socialize and burn energy. At home, they feel like part of the family since my daughters are also very affectionate with the dogs. Every day is a new adventure for us, and pets are always welcome to join in on our daily activities
“Hired for two walks, 30 min each. The first was fine. The second she came and went in 16 minutes and said she “made it a quick one because she had walked my dog earlier.” Huh? Not sure what that was about….”
About: Hi! My name is Vana and I am a remote worker in DC. I joined this service for some extra money and to meet and play with people's pets! I've taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs to guinea pigs to horses. I cared for/owned horses for four years (no big dog is too scary!), have had cats all my life, and had a hyper Aussie and sweet beagle of my own. I can take care of the youngest puppy to the oldest dog and my puppy days certainly hardened me for non-stop playtime and bountiful walks. I know how important pets are to every family and will treat your fur baby as I would my own. If you're interested in dog walking, drop-ins, or house sitting then feel free to message me and we can work something out. Due to my flexible remote/hybrid schedule, I’m available for all-day sitting at your home with frequent potty breaks and walks for a per diem rate, or can do drop-ins throughout the day. I also have overnight availability with advance (3+ days) notice. Thank you! As a hybrid worker, I have a flexible schedule and I am able to schedule my work around pet care. If I house sit then I remain at the house for most of the day and take care of the animals there, making sure to never leave them for more than a few hours. For drop-ins and walking, I make sure to build my daily schedule around those visits. I follow all instructions laid out to me by the owners and make sure the animals get their play while being safe and secure. I make sure to follow potty and food schedules, and ensure dogs get their daily exercise if it’s needed.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely adore caring for and walking/running/playing/cuddling with any and all animals! I’d love to care for your pet and hopefully brighten their day the same way they’re sure to brighten mine! As a cat owner, i make sure to follow a routine every day with feeding, cleaning after, playing with and challenging my cats! When a I’m living with dogs I will create a daily routine to walk and play with them! I will care for anybody’s pet with the same respect and caution i care for my own! Understanding their behavior and personality is the biggest key! Will be vigilant and communicative with their owner!
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life I have also taken care of quite a few cats. I have worked with tea cup puppies too 130 pound Newfoundland. I am 19 years old and have a stable form of transportation. I am working as a host this summer but I am extremely flexible time wise I can easily take care of a dog inside of your house or just check in on a cat or dog and give dogs walks. Most of the time I am available to walk the dog the same day that is requested. I am very lovable caretaker. I am very good with cuddly or super energetic dogs dogs to get irritated or or stressed by new people does not frighten me and I have found a simple way of approaching timid dogs. My dog is a rescue so I also know how to deal with nervous dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Friendship Village
Our dog Hope loved Grant as soon as she met him at the meet and greet, and she was so excited when he showed up for her walk. Grant is kind and loving towards Hope, and is very understanding about her quirky golden personality. He’s also a good communicator about logistics and scheduling, and is very on time. We highly recommend Grant.
Whitney was an absolute lifesaver walking my two little pups. They warmed up to her instantly. She went above and beyond making sure they were safe and got good exercise and sniffs. Communication was perfect. I would absolutely reach out to Whitney as a top choice for future walks. Highest recommendation. Thank you Whitney!
Sidney has been walking my dog for two months. She is very dependable and shows up at the agreed time. She also provides notes regarding the walks with pictures. She is kind to my dog and has an overall friendly demeanor. I am sorry that she won't be able to walk Holly after the middle of September.

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 Friendship Village. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Friendship Village.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Friendship Village. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
