About: I've lived with dogs for the last 16 years and find that time is best spend with a furry friend. I have experience with reactivity, deaf dogs, administering medications, and love to play, snuggle, and walk with the pup! Every dog deserves to experience the joy the world has to offer & I go above and beyond daily to accommodate any need a dog may have. I like to match your training style & can help enforce training on walks or visits if needed. I work from home during the week so I'm able to devote plenty of time to your pup! I'm able to go on walks throughout the day & let them out as needed. Lots of time for work break snuggles & play! I do not have a fenced in backyard, but that doesn't stop me from making sure your dog has their needs met! I have 2 dogs at home and each of them are walked multiple times a day to ensure they get all the sniffs and sun they want. Your dog will receive the same amount of attention.
“This is our second time working with Sora for our puppy Hans. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a thoughtful, responsible, and communicative person to watch their pup!”
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.
“Melina saved the day and took Brego for a much needed walk while I was enjoying a little more time than usual on the mountain. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Charlotte was fantastic! She gave our pup plenty of exercise, love, and attention while we were away for the day. We came back to a very happy dog. I would absolutely book with Charlotte again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I care for. I treat each pet like family, whether it’s a playful puppy learning the ropes or a senior dog who just wants comfort and company. I have experience with basic training, giving medication, and understanding the unique needs of dogs at all life stages. I'm calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and at ease while you're away. Even though I don't have a dog right now, pet care is something I think about often because I genuinely love animals—especially dogs. If a friend or family member needs help watching their pet, I’m the first to volunteer. When that happens, I make sure to stick to their routines—daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and just giving them attention and affection. I also like learning about proper care, training techniques, and how to make a pet's life as happy and healthy as possible. So while I don’t have a dog in my home at the moment, pet care still fits into my life whenever I get the chance—and when the time is right, I definitely plan on having one of my own. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own—with love, patience, and consistency. I always start by learning the pet’s routine from the owner—feeding times, walk schedules, any medications, and their personality quirks. I stick closely to those routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it's regular walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or just sitting with a shy animal to help them feel calm, I adapt to whatever the pet needs. I keep the space clean, give fresh food and water, and pay attention to their behavior in case something seems off. Communication is also key—I like to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and in good hands. Even though I don’t currently have pets of my own, I take every opportunity to care for others' pets seriously. It’s more than just a service—it’s something I genuinely love doing.
“Mikaela is such a great dog walker and person. She was quick to help in a pinch and took excellent care of my dog, who requires some extra oversight. I could tell from the photos from the walk, she really connect with my dog…which means the world to me. Would highly recommend!”
“Ryan dealt wonderfully with my very nervous and untrusting rescue puppy. Although the walk did not go as planned, he did an excellent job of communicating the issues with me and handling the situation professionally and calmly. Thank you for all your help!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young. I’ll take care of your fur baby like they’re my own. Walks, hikes, and naps. We do it all! I can teach them any training as well if the pet parent suggests it! I own a hair studio and will be working most Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If I have a dog to care for I will do my best to be working no more than six hours in a day. Before I leave, and when I come home I will be sure to let the dog out to go potty and eat, or go on a walk. I share an apartment with my cat Kali. Our environment is calm and restful. We have walking, hiking, and dog parks around for exercise outdoors.
About: I have an abundance of pet care experience. I muck stalls, trained horses as a teen, and often go to help my mom care for her horse barn in Tennessee. I trained my childhood dogs in a professional setting and have trained all of my pets very well. I understand pet non verbal communication and help them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with acquatic turtles, cleaning tanks, and feedings. I have experience with large breeds and small breeds. I am available evenings, lunchtimes, and weekends for drop in care or walking. I am willing to take dogs for hikes as well. I am willing to spend time with the pet and give them lots of love. I make sure all pets are comfortable and happy. Healthy pets are very important to me. I believe all animals deserve to feel loved and safe. I know the importance of consistency in routine for animals. Their dependence on humans is not to be taken lightly.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up and love them. I don’t have any pets right now so I want to help others out. I currently work fully remote at a very low demanding role, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and hang out with them! We have a 2 bedroom townhome style unit that has plenty of room for pets to roam around and we enjoy dogs and cats (:
About: I’ve cared for friends dogs as well as my own. I make it a point to pay attention to every dog individually and accommodate for uniqueness. I know some overheat and get tired faster than others, some dogs suffer from chronic ailments, and some are extremely energetic. I’m here for all of it. I am currently a college graduate (Mines) so I pick up pet care opportunities full time while I search for a more permanent career field. I would love to visit your dogs to provide playtime and care, however I am not able to board or house them at my domaine.

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 Golden. 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. 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.
