About: Hi! I am an avid pet lover and grew up with a big floofy dog in my household. I love to go for long walks or run (pending if doggo is capable). I am currently in nursing school so if not in class, I will be home studying and would love to have a companion by my side. I love going for long walks/run a few times a week and if able would love to take the dog along! I have school a few days a week in the morning but otherwise will be free to hang with a pet while studying or to pop in for a quick study break walk! While I do not offer sitting in my own home, I will ensure that everything is how it should while at your house and that the animal is properly cared for.
About: I’m a caring, dependable, and passionate pet sitter and dog walker who treats every animal with the same love, patience, and kindness I would give my own. I offer additional services which include optional running services. I absolutely love spending time outdoors and in nature, and I’d be thrilled to share fun adventures with your furry friend! I’m comfortable caring for potty-trained dogs and can tailor each outing to your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup needs a good run, a peaceful walk, a hike, or an exciting outdoor adventure, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. I also enjoy preparing fresh, homemade meals and can cook vet- or nutritionist-guided recipes from scratch when requested, tailored to your pet’s specific nutritional needs. Most importantly, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. When your dog is in my care, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and individualized care. I want every pet I look after to feel happy, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re with me! I work full time Monday-Friday from 9-5 with hopes of making dog care my full time job eventually to get out of my corporate industry. I work close to home & can walk them halfway through my workday and am available all day on the weekends. I have a large fenced in grassy yard with tons of areas to play or go potty in between walks. I am very responsible with letting dogs go to the bathroom throughout the day and feed them on a strict schedule each day. If I am ever in anyone’s home I make sure to leave the home better than I found it.
About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.
“Isabella was absolutely amazing. We booked her to walk our lab for a week straight while we were on vacation and she was on time (early which is always appreciated), very communicative, and was so good with our doggo. We ended up adding an additional dog walk for another dog that was at the house where ours was staying, and Isabella was okay with it and did phenomenal with both dogs in the end. Would highly highly recommend to anyone and we will utilize her in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Casey! I've owned dogs for 10 years and have 3 years of pet sitting experience. Please tell me all about your pet and their unique quirks so I can treat them the way they want to be treated <3 I raised my current dog from 13 weeks old, and she's the light of my life, so I know how important it is to hire a sitter you trust to join your dog's pack. I believe that all dogs deserve rich and full lives where they get to explore, use their brain, and build lasting bonds with the humans in their life. I have experience working with high-energy dogs, rescues, skittish babies, and reactive dogs. I also have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with health and mobility challenges. I care for all ages, from puppies to seniors. My two dogs are fun-loving and very smart, so I know how important it is to provide not only physical activity, but mental stimulation. While on walks, I'll keep your pup engaged by having them practice commands and sniff in the grass for treats. One of my favorite things to do with my dog is practicing or learning new tricks using positive reinforcement and consistent practice, and I'd be happy to do the same with your pup! I also love taking photos of pets too and will gladly provide photo updates. Fun fact, my first ever job was at a kennel, where I took care of dogs and cats. My mom calls me a "dog professional" :) I work from home, so I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I have 3 years of pet sitting experience so I already know how to make it work in my life! I always respect boundaries by reading your pet's behavior cues. Please tell me all about your pet's unique needs so I can make sure they are comfortable! I'll always leave your home exactly as you left it.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life of all shapes, sizes, personalities and needs. From outgoing pets to shy pets, there isn’t a dog or cat I don’t love. I work hard to get to know your pet individually so that they get just what they need whether that’s lots of pets, some quiet alone time, or some fun play time. For every visit or walk I provide photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder what’s going on. I am also able to stick to any routine or training regimen that you’re working on. I work night shift three days a week and only watch pets on my off days, so those days are totally dedicated to pet time, including for my own Goldendoodle. I follow your instructions exactly to make sure not only that your pet feels safe and comfortable, but that you also feel comfortable with their care.

About: I’m great with feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping up with their normal routine. I’ll make sure your doggy feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m a student and work part time so my schedule is flexible! I’m available anytime throughout the weekdays and on the weekends to work around your needs! I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. I want every pet and owner to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care.
“Ryan helped last minute take my dog out several times over the course of the weekend. He was easy to communicate with, flexible and gave plenty of updates. Appreciate the walks!”

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.

“Emma was so patient and kind with my dog Riley. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. My dog was always so excited to see her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving dog walker.”

“My girlfriend and I had to go on an urgent day trip to Santa Barbara and we can't thank Casey enough for deciding to help us at the very last minute. She was extremely professional and reliable. Our pup was tired by the time we got back home! She followed all of our instructions carefully and also gave us constant updates on Calvin. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals all my life. I have house sat, dog walked, cat sat, etc. I have been on Rover as a sitter since mid 2018 and watched dozens of people’s pets, many have become return clients which I love! I love giving hugs in return for puppy (and kitty) kisses and playtime, and of course goes the same with cats. Dogs and cats make me happy no matter what mood I am in. I also am a great photographer, especially when it comes to pets, so you can expect plenty of photos if you'd like. =) I love keeping pets active and being outdoors, so walks and trips to the park are always okay with me! I can't wait to meet you and your fluffy, furry friend! I know that animals need love just as much as humans do. =) **Please note: I do not board pets at my house unfortunately at this time, as I have a cat that doesn’t get along with other animals. So I would have to house sit at your home. At the moment I work full time remote, but do have to meet clients here and there around town, so if you are needing someone around consistently, I may not be the best fit. Please clarify how long the pet(s) can be left alone when requesting to book, as I want to be certain it’s a good fit for both parties! I’m constantly keeping you updated on everything and always have a close eye on your pet to ensure they are safe and healthy in your home. Expect plenty of photos 😊
About: I have solid experience managing care for several pets at the same time while keeping everything calm, organized, and consistent. I’ve handled a wide range of personalities and energy levels, and I stay patient, calm, and consistent with every pet. I pay attention to the small things—body language, comfort, and habits—so I can make sure each animal feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I’m a full-time student at Ohio University, but I only take pet-sitting bookings when I’m back home in Arvada, Colorado. Pet care fits easily into my routine during school breaks because I have open availability and plenty of time to focus on each pet. During those breaks, I’m fully present and able to give consistent attention, walks, and care. I create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for. I follow the owner’s routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and body language. I also send updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Ryan was so great with our dog!!! He was always punctual, had great communication, and was a great match to her high energy! Whenever changes in our schedule came up he was super responsive and we felt confident trusting him with our sweet pup! Highly highly recommend!!
Liv is amazing. If you want an amazing human taking care of your precious family member she is your go to! I was in town as a travel RN and she was amazing with my girl Sage for the last 3 months! She is caring and will go the extra mile in making sure your dog is well cared for with excellent communication and updates. I would for sure use Liv again for weekly walks as well as for overnight stays with your pet. We will miss you tons! You were absolutely the highlight of Sages assignment🥰

Martha has been incredibly helpful, reliable, and genuinely caring with my dogs, who can be high energy and reactive on walks. I know my girls are safe and comfortable when she comes to visit them. Martha has also been flexible and accommodating with my changing schedule, which I truly appreciate!!!

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.

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.
