About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for them through every stage from playful puppies to sweet senior years. That lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. For the past eight years, I’ve also been the dedicated owner of a large dog, so I’m confident handling bigger breeds, strong pullers, and high-energy pups. Safety, consistency, and patience are always my priorities. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, a relaxed stroll, or attentive in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re my own with reliability, love, and plenty of tail-wagging attention. I work part-time at my current job so I am available at different times during the day! I have a flexible schedule so I can help you give your best friend some love or a break out of the house during your busy days. I care for pets in a way that keeps their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines exactly as requested. I make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and clean water at all times. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety during walks and visits.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and it would truly be a privilege to work with animals every day! Over the years, I’ve volunteered at various animal shelters and have loved every minute of it. I thrive when I’m surrounded by all types of animals — each with their own unique personality and needs.

In those cases, I’m always willing to offer my time and services free of charge.

Erin is amazing! She is responsible, punctual, and communicative. I scheduled walks with Erin at a time when things were really hectic in my personal life and I needed the extra support. Knowing that Erin was taking care of Ellie during this stressful time eased a lot of my own stress and allowed me to show up for other things with one less thing to worry about. Truly grateful. Thank you, Erin!

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 Haystack. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Haystack.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
