“Jessica has been able to come walk my dog twice now on super short notice which is greatly appreciated! Very kind and my dog comes home happy and tired from her walk. Thanks so much!”
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.
“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🥰”
“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'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.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, with it being cats, dogs, or even lizards, crabs, and rats. I enjoy quality time with any pet and learning what they need for care. I have trained dogs. I currently have a part-time job and school. I am available on most weekends, holidays, and weekdays! I perfer two days advance but can be very flexible for your needs. I live near many trails and a very walkable area so your dog will get as much exercise as needed. I also have two cats and a dog if your dog needs more company. I’m able to put cats in a separate room if needed aswell.
“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!”
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!”
About: I love all animals and specialize in caring for ,and do not descriminate against, so called "aggressive breeds" I absolutely adore them and think they are misunderstood and would love to walk and or take care of your best Furr-iend no matter what breed. I had a 110 lb pitt/ rott Jezzabelle for 10 yrs who was amazing! I have 30 yrs experience walking dogs for neighbors and friends from all different breeds mainly larger, And 40 yrs experience with cats and kittens. Jezz had 2 leg surgeries in her lifetime so I am great with rehabilitation, administration of meds, and general after care from surgery in dogs and know how to make them comfortable and able to get them outside for potty time(jezz was 110lbs so I can handle a lot of weight ). I have no problem taking care of puppies and elderly dogs and guarantee Your furr-baby will love me.🐶🤓🐾 I now have 2 Frenchies The Reverend and Jimbo and a cat named Melvin. So let care is a huge part of my day and would love to meet and care for animals whose parents may need a little help with the everyday things. I have a mad respect for the homes of other people and treat them as if they were my own. I would always clean up any mess made by the animals or myself while I was there feeding them or playing or if it were just to let them out I would clean up their mess outside to be respectful of the neighborhood and their yard so it could be kept nice as well. And make sure everything was put in proper bags and resepticals.

“Amie was fantastic! We used her to walk our 113 lb Bernedoodle every day while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates on his walk daily. Our dog, who is skittish with some people, warmed right up to her and would get excited to see her every day. We would definitely use her again!”
“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’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.
