“Tabitha is an incredible sitter and companion for my dog Scout. I can see the care and detail she takes in playing with him and making him feel important. I travel a lot for work and it’s just me so it’s always stressful knowing I have to leave my dog behind. But I’m always assured he’s in great hands with Tabitha. Thank you for all that you do. It truly matters.”
“We've used Jaicy for a while now and she's incredibly reliable and cares greatly for our dogs. She boarded our last dog and walked him frequently. He loved spending time at her house and playing with her dogs. When we adopted our current dog I knew he'd be in good hands with Jaicy and he took right to her during our meet and greet.”
“Shane and Brittany have been so great with me and my dog! I’m a worrier, especially when it comes to my dog, since she isn’t always a walk in the park. Shane and Brittany have been very patient with answering all my questions and giving feedback on Gucci’s daily walks. They have also been very attentive to Gucci’s needs. I couldn’t ask for better!”

“Marina is the BEST! She writes incredibly detailed report cards, gives Thor so much love and attention, takes amazing photos, and always arrives on time as expected. We are so happy we found Marina to walk Thor, we know he is always in good hands with her!”
“Maggie does a fantastic job! She is incredibly attentive to my pitbull mix, Allie, always ensuring she stays cool on warm walks, practicing her training commands, and even pivoting to playtime if Allie isn't in the mood for a walk. Maggie is professional, punctual, hardworking, and remarkably easy to communicate with. I absolutely love receiving the photo updates after each walk. I highly recommend her services!”

“I could not be happier with Sam and the excellent care he provided for my dog, Walter! I needed to be out of town for the better part of a week, and having just moved to town, did not have any friends or family to watch after my large canine; Sam to the rescue! I had never used this service or this site before, so initially was a tad skeptical. After Sam's quick response, and then after meeting him in person, I knew Walter would be in good hands. I initially approached him requesting two walks per day, but due to his reasonable pricing, I suggested that I would be interested in adding a third walk every day. Even though I'm sure it was a bit out of the way, he accepted the extra work with alacrity. On top of all this, when I needed to put Walter on antibiotics last-minute, Sam was more than happy to administer the medicine. It was clear from the "Rover Cards" that Walter was getting great walks, and truly first-rate overall care. I would absolutely use Sam's service again, and would recommend him to anyone needing hassle-free, reliable care. I hope he is available if and when I need him again. Thanks Sam!”

“Melinda was perfect in every way. She accepted our booking at the last minute and took exceptional care of our 2 Pugs. We didn’t have to worry at all and could enjoy our time away from home. Many thanks for making our first Rover experience a stress-free one!”
“Destinee is thoughtful, prompt and diligent about her job. She was able to help me on very short notice and kept me informed in a way I appreciate very much. Most of all, Lilly was happy to see her and that is the thing that counts the most. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: *MY BOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS IS FULLY CLOSED AT THIS TIME* Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I work Mon-Sat 7am-12pm at my fulltime job but am able to house sit and do drop ins around that schedule. I would be leaving around 6/630am and back around 12:30/1pm to handle any care needs. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.

Lorena was an amazing dog walker for our senior 17 year old dog! She made sure to get acquainted with him at our Meet and Greet and understand his unique needs as a senior dog. Lorena was patient, understanding, and professional. She sent updates and photos regularly. Lorena mastered the challenging task of walking him in the rain when he does not like the rain! I definitely would book with Lorena again. I highly recommend her!
Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!
Catherine is a wonderful dog walker. She has a great rapport with my dogs and makes their health and safety her top priority. She communicates before, during, and after her walks with my dogs and sends fun photos. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog walker. Thanks for another great walk, Catherine. The dogs are happy and tired.

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

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.
