Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, worked at my local animal shelter, and own my own rescue pup. She has taught me the biggest lesson on care and compassion! I’ve cared for senior dogs and new puppies. I am very active and like to keep myself and my pets entertained! I am a school psychotherapist with a very flexible schedule and summers off :) I like to stay busy, so I try to take on fun side quests when possible! I have a fenced in backyard, I live in a very safe, pet-loving, neighborhood, and my own dog to keep your pets entertained! With my own pet in mind, I would not put either animal in an unsafe position.

About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.

Rebooking with Katie because she is the best! Our dog won’t often let us dry off her paws, and she was able to dry them after a rainy walk. Our dog already trusts her and that says a lot!

About: I have more than 10 years experience working at dog daycares, grooming, and sitting/walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I am comfortable with administering medication both orally and injections. I've I am always trying to educate myself and others about reading dog behaviors and the best ways to react to situations. I am an artist by trade so my work hours are very flexible. If I'm sitting in your home, I will stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to give them a sense or normalcy and comfort. My more than 10 years of experience have prepared me for almost any situation. I am a big proponent of safety first especially when it comes to your pets interacting with other animals, escape artists, and counter surfers getting into harmful things.

Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.

I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!

About: I’ve been helping to care for dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had 4 dogs of varying sizes that I doted on into their senior years. I love the company of dogs and especially enjoy dog walking! I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. I work remote so I have flexibility for quick drop ins throughout the day if needed. I can think of no better work break than going to hang out with your pet! I have two cats of my own who are my best friends. They are both into their senior years so I prioritize their health and wellness. I am diligent about cleanliness, such as litter box maintenance. One of my cats has anxiety which requires Prozac so I am experienced with providing daily medication!

Norah was amazing! Great communication, punctual , uses rover cards properly so you can see where and how far they walked, and she was willing to take Moe for 30+ minute walks in this bitter cold! She never skimped on walking time and she came over for a meet and greet. 10/10!

About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!

Claire and Spatzle are slowly working on an introduction. He is a nervous and reactive boy so we are working our way to being able to do overnights and drop ins. Her vet med hx and experience with a reactive dog is SO helpful in knowing how to interact with him and it's going great so far.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Heartside dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Heartside.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
