“Excellent walker! Took my dog a bit to warm up to her but she was very patient while my dog warmed up. Met with me and my dog twice at a time that was convenient for me to make sure that my pup had a chance to get to know her. Highly recommended.”
“My dog does not like to walk but Christine had no problem getting her some exercise. Puddin was much happier when I got home because she had a mid day walk. I Highly recommend Christine and have already rebooked with her.”
“Alexandra helped us out last minute and took great care of our dogs, and even showed our cat some love too 😊 We will definitely be contacting her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
About: My love for animals has been my driving force in life. I’ve been taking care of and been around pets my entire life. I have experience with all types of animals, from cats and dogs, to reptiles and bunnies. I pride myself in how seriously I take caring for other peoples pets, I go above and beyond always, and I guarantee you I will love your pets as much as you. I have a very flexible schedule, I spend most of my time at home or hanging out with family! I do get my brothers off the bus nearly every day, but other than that, my time is spent with animals! I have seven cats and two dogs, so I take their care very seriously. I have a fenced in yard, I feed them the best food, everyone gets so much exercise and love and playtime. I have more litter boxes that I need to ensure that everyone has their own potty. I do so much more than the bare minimum for all of my pets.
“Karibian is so friendly and dependable— I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services! She always sends me pictures and updates when she walks my pup, even making time to play with him some and give him pets before putting him back in his kennel after walking. Having her walk my pup makes me feel so much less stressed when I have to leave him for the day, because I know he will be loved on and that I can count on her! We are so glad we found Karibian!”
About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
About: I’m a dedicated dog owner to my Miniature Poodle, Milo, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming basics, and keeping a consistent routine. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I’m very reliable with schedules and instructions. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they are well cared for like my own. I am available daily. I feed my dog in the morning and at night. I’ll have to ensure that no dogs fights over foods. I’ll have to put one of the dog in bathroom and another dog can eat in a room until foods are done. They can be switched. I have a yard and I can put them in crate if needed. I’ll make sure everything goes well and safe. I ensure that pets have a safe, clean space to play, rest, and eat. I follow any specific instructions from the pet parent, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise needs. I supervise pets closely, making sure they’re never left in unsafe situations, and I provide plenty of love, attention, and mental stimulation.
About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years, and have always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired. I can come by during the day, including weekends and holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. Please note that I accept in-home stays that are a minimum of two nights. I can come to your home and stay, or visit to let your dog out, walk, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!
“Cassidy has been fantastic with my dog Zion. Quick, clear, and frequent communication and pictures. He seems to enjoy the visits and she goes above and beyond to give my needy boy all the belly scratches he desires.”
About: I've been dog sitting for ten years and have had dogs my entire life. I provide daily walks, check-ins, in-home sitting and overnight sitting in my home for your pets. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I can assist with potty training puppies. I can administer medication if needed. I have also handled dogs that pull or jump. I also can do nail trimming and baths. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find their personalities to be very sweet and engaging. I'm home all the time, so I have a ton of spare time for pet sitting and spending time with you dogs. I will be with your dog the whole time I have one fur son to keep your fur babies company! I also live around the corner from a trail that I like to walk daily and can bring your fur babies
“Tiffany is great! She is very professional and just sweet as can be. Mya loved her! She taught me a few tricks for keeping Myas attention while on leash. She even left a little gift for Mya! She is the best walker on Rover I've used by far.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18. My Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work remote so have a free schedule to play with my dog and yours 24/7. Which I enjoy doing more than anything else :) I have a safe neighbor hood and live with my parents for the time being. My mom has done Rover for over 4 years but recently retired to be a full time Grandma! I have a front yard and small backyard as well that is fenced in.
About: I had all kinds of pets while growing up and To earn extra money I often drop in at different neighbors houses to feed and play with their animals. I have experience with medium size dogs and cats as well as some farm animals. I comfortable with most breeds of dogs and enjoy spending time outside on walks around parks or neighborhoods. I am flexible with my time as I’m a student and mostly work during school breaks. The easiest way to reach me while spending time with your pet would be by texting or calling. I am more then happy to provide daily updates or photos of your pet during my time with them. Overall I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and safe putting your trust in me. Thanks for viewing my profile and I hope I'll meet you soon! I’m currently a grad student at SIU. So during school breaks I have availability. During school I can do nightly drop by visits and occasional walks. I currently own one cat. He has tons of toys and climbing spots in our home. He also goes on walks as I leash trained him when he was a kitten.

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 Gates Center. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
