About: I’ve cared for my Standard Poodle since 2018 and pet sat a senior Yorkshire Terrier for over a week for a local family. I am open to walking, feeding, maintaining medication schedules, and home pet sitting! I work between 10am-4pm, so I have plenty of time to walk, play, and feed your pet around those hours. I am available to walk and/or pet sit at your home any day, just reach out! I will treat your pet as my own and follow your care instructions to the best of my ability. I am comfortable with free roaming or crated pets at night, and I believe in building in daily time for structured and unstructured play. This includes going on leashed walks around the neighborhood or nature hike paths, and playing games such as fetch the ball, pet puzzles, and other toys. We will create a care plan together and I will send updates with photos throughout the day.
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
“Regan was amazing!!! She helped me out last minute, was very professional and truly cared about my pup! In the pictures my dog looked beaming with joy on his adventures with her!! Will definitely book again!! Thank you so much Regan!!😊🫶🏽”
About: My family has never not had a dog in the home! I take my pup, Maggie, to the dog park and on hikes constantly (little dirt won’t hurt)! I have also been a volunteer at the HSDC since 2020, caring for scared dogs and walking 80+ ibs of muscle. I love to pet sit and cuddle up on the couch with any animal, truly think that is what calms my soul! I also have experience pet sitting hamsters and chameleons, really any animal is a friend of mine. I’d love to come meet your pet and become besties!! I recently graduated from tOSU and currently am living at home with my mom and pup. I am a caregiver for elderly patients and my schedule is kind of all over the place. Check my calendar for my availability and message me with any questions! I love to give love and make sure every animal gets the care it needs! I ensure that all animals get the exercise they need to thrive and stay entertained/ stimulated. Previously, I have home sat while dog sitting and hamster and chameleon sitting (all at once)! I will always respect your privacy and space, making sure to leave the home in the best/ normal conditions.
About: My husband and I have been taking care of a variety of dog breeds and ages for many years. From friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even our daughters' pup. My husband and I are both retired so at least one of us is home majority of the time. This allows us to give your pup the attention, time, and care they deserve. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around. We love to go on walks as well, weather permitting.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, meals, potty breaks, and companionship they need rather than rushing through visits. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to follow each pet’s established routine and providing consistent care throughout the day. I also make communication a priority, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while they’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, medications if applicable, and any behaviors or special instructions I should be aware of. Safety is my priority, so I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, so I provide regular updates and photos and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away
About: I have had a dog or cat, male & female, most of my life in both urban, suburban, and rural settings. Comfortable with all breeds and needs. I’m not afraid of the dirty work and am not lazy. I will accomodate your needs and follow your instructions verbatim. I will treat your pet as my own. I have a flexible schedule that varies from week to week but I know well in advance what that will be and can control it with adequate notice. I’m gainfully employed already, but recent life changes have left me with additional free time and a need for supplemental income. I truly love animals (just check my Instagram feed...) and can handle anything. I will ensure your furbaby is treated with the same care/love that you would provide he or she.
“Raylee is great with Cannon. He is always excited for his walks with her. She has great communication and will message if she notices anything out of the norm with Cannon. I trust Cannon with her!!”
About: I have two dogs of my own and take great care of them. Me and my dog have been attacked by dogs, and I was able to control the situation and secure my dog, so I have experience if something were to happen to me and the client. I am a student at Otterbein University and with my class schedule this semester I am able to walk dogs Monda 2pm-5pm, Tuesday 8am-2pm and 5pm-8pm, Wednesday 2pm-8pm, Thursday 5pm-8pm, Friday 2pm-4:30pm and available for most of the weekend excluding after 7pm on Sunday. In my home I make sure my dogs are pet, walked, fed, and loved. I make sure they are healthy and looked after with great care.
“Stephanie's warm, organized, and attentive demeanor was a treat for me and my dog alike! She went above and beyond to take care of Georgie- giving lots of attention, filling her finicky 'dinner ball', diligently sending pics/updates, and matching Georgie's vibe with opportunities to cuddle, rest, zoom or play as she needed. Responsible, warm, communicative- thank you so much Stephanie for taking GREAT care of our family!! I'll be rebooking soon💛”
About: Hi, I’m Dustin! I bring 33 years of hands-on pet care experience and a lifelong love for animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently share my home with a sweet dog, two cuddly cats, and two wonderfully curious rats — so I’m no stranger to different personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, goofy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every animal like one of my own, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. From belly rubs and playtime to calm companionship and reliable care, your pets will be in gentle, experienced hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry (or whiskered!) family! I work full-time, but I still make plenty of room in my schedule for quality pet care. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and nights, as well as weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I make sure each pet gets reliable attention, consistent routines, and lots of love — even with a busy workweek. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I provide plenty of attention, supervised time, and cozy spots for resting. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space — feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time so they feel secure. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them, I always treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.

Leah stepped in to walk my dog while our regular walker was on vacation and she’s awesome! Leah was very communicative, took lots of pictures and was consistent with her timing every day. Our pup LOVED her, and we did too! We will 100% be repeat customers with her and would recommend her to others as well :)

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 Harlem. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
