“Amme does a great job scheduling times and walking my dog each week. Willie gets a full walk and Amme really cares about my dog. She’s very kind and caring and goes the extra mile on every visit! Thank you so much for spending time with my best friend when I’m not able to. I feel so much better each time that he is getting the attention he needs and deserves and Amme provides that each and every time.”
“Melanie has been great with all my pets! I have a dog that she let's out and walks, which she does so well, but I also have two smaller pets that she gives love to when she stops in as well! She sends many pictures and leaves informative comments! I plan on being a returning customer of Melanie for as long as I can, she is great and I 100% recommend!!”
About: Are you looking for someone who cares for your home and pets like its their own? Look no further. I am trustworthy enough for you to put in cameras in common areas if you like. You might capture some funny moments. Haha. Even the most scared and shy pets warm up to me and end up becoming good friends with me. I have many years experience working with a variety of animals both exotic, livestock, poultry, domestic companion animals. I am able to administer medications, assist with grooming, clipping or grinding of claws, exercise and play therapy as well as training. I used to run a rescue out of my home in Texas and was able to vet all the animals in my home so they could be good around other animals and have a higher chance of adoption. I worked in a vets office for some time as well as being a pet parent for many years and have an associates degree in Biology. I do this full time so with the exception of my normal parental duties for my own cat and human child, I have plenty of hours to schedule or work around anything that might need to be done for your pets while you are gone. In addition to taking care of your home I offer rides to and from the local park and ride, airport or greyhound bus station if you want to keep your car at home for an additional small fee. I water plants, bring in mail and packages, take out trash, and do house cleaning. 💜 I live locally and can stop by many times to check in to ease a worried pet parent's mind. I keep an open schedule and most holidays I don't travel so I am available to help be around your pet while you are away. My child is old enough to stay with our pet too so even if it is multiple days its ok. I am capable of handling any emergency situation. I know pet CPR and how to find the closest emergency vet. I am able to clean up after your pet and do light housework if the service is needed as well as take in mail or shipments, water your plants and take out garbage cans etc if they are necessary. I am able to do grooming, administer medications, take them to appointments, pick up and drop off, take them for walks or do training play. I request that each pet parent provide their own grooming tools, food and toys if appropriate for the visit. Each pet is different and some can have allergies (skin & food) so its best if I am provided with what is known to work well for them.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life family and friends pets and enjoy playing and taking care of them when needed love dogs of all sizes I’m currently working full time but love animals and helping with them where I can. Going on walks or just throwing a ball around I can do it all. Whether your fur baby likes to lounge around or be active I enjoy both and with 3 children at home keeping track and cleaning up after them is a regular past time of mine.
About: Ever since I was little I have loved animals. Recently I’ve been helping walk dogs at a local rescue. I have two dogs of my own that I take care of. I’ve taught one of them a few basic commands like sit and stay. Currently I work in the mornings and go to school in the afternoons. Monday-Friday I would be available after 4pm. On the weekends I would be available throughout the day. In my own home the dogs get let out every couple of hours and 2 walks per day. I would be flexible depending on how the owner wanted things scheduled though.
“Allison is amazing! We have a very shy, very large, very old dog - we had a couple meet and greets with Allison to introduce the shy pup, and she really took the time to get to know both us and the pup. Long story short, she’s all around awesome and we’re looking forward to having her help in the future ?”

Thursday-Friday are my work from home days! I’ll be able to tend to your dog for all their needs and he/she will have my dog as a friend/companion!

About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
About: I have years of experience caring for my own pets and pet-sitting for others. My experience includes all age ages and sizes of dogs and cats, including rescue animals, French bulldogs, pitbulls and Persian cats. I also have some experience with giving medication to pets and caring for small animals such as hedgehogs and rabbits. I love all kinds of animals and take pride in understanding and respecting a pet's unique needs and boundaries, such as petting and feeding needs. I look forward to giving your pet the same love and respect I give my own! Over this summer I am completely flexible as I will be attending university at the start of fall. I will have a very flexible schedule for both booking appointments and playing/walking with your animals. I like to keep a strict feeding schedule-which can fit to your pets needs if they already have one-and a minimum walk time of 30 minutes daily. Pets are allowed everywhere in both yard and home. If needed or wanted I am willing and happy to send daily photos and/or videos of your pet to you for peace of mind!

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 Hobart. 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 , 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 .
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.
