“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you for taking my puppies out to walk and taking time to play with them. Thank you keeping me updated after each walk and making sure they eat and stay hydrated! Really gave me piece of mind knowing they were being taken care of! We will definitely reach back out for more walks with Raegan.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, so I learned early how to handle their daily needs. Years of experience have helped me learn how to read different personalities. As of now I am home during the day so I am available for boardings in the morning, afternoon, and evening throughout the whole week. I provide a tranquil, stress-free space for pets in my home, carefully sticking to their specific meal times and offering plenty of monitored play. My priority is offering consistent, caring companionship so they feel just as safe and cherished as they would in their own living room.
About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.
“Chelsea and John showered our pup with love, attention, and care. Their photos and messages let us vacation without any worries about how she was doing. Thank you, Chelsea and John!”
About: Hello, My name Twanakay T., and I am 32 years old. While I don't currently have any pets of my own besides my fish tank, I grew up in a household with cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for animals. I had a cat named Jenny who lived with me from childhood until I was 18, and my father has a dog named Kingston. He can be quite a handful, but we are always patient with him, and I will bring that same patience to caring for your pets. I’ve also had a variety of pets over the years, including a rat I bought on a whim and a bunny who was quite elusive!

Please let me know if this aligns with your needs, and I would be happy to accommodate any specific requests regarding pet care during those times. Thank you! here is how how I approach pet care: 1. **Familiarization**: I take the time to get to know your pets and their specific needs, routines, and preferences. 2. **Environment**: I ensure that the environment is safe and comfortable for the pets. 3. **Exercise and Play**: Regular playtime and exercise are essential for pet health. 4. **Routine Maintenance**: I follow a consistent routine, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any grooming sessions, to help keep the pets relaxed and happy. 5. **Monitoring Health**: I keep an eye on their behavior, appetite, and overall health. If I notice anything unusual, I'm prepared to contact you or a veterinarian if necessary. 6. **Communication**: I provide regular updates so you can stay informed about your pets’ well-being while you’re away. This can include text messages, photos, or videos. 7. **Bonding**: Building a trusting relationship with your pets is crucial, so I always approach them gently and positively to help them feel secure and loved.

“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own, and friends’ dogs as well as cats since I was young. Large, medium, or small, I love them all. I’m a high school teacher, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets in the summer. I’m reliable, punctual, and responsible. My two dogs have a fenced in yard and get walked daily. Just like humans, mental and physical stimulation is essential for our beloved pets.
About: I got my first cat when I was 5 and my first dog when I was 20 I've had cats and dogs all my life and have been a foster home for various shelters throughout the years. I'll care for your pets like they are my own. I am retired so have plenty of time and am fairly flexible. I also drive so am readily available for sitting, and droo in visits. I will care for your pet in your home only as I live in an apartment and already have a dog and would need approval from landlord
“This was the first time using Rover, and a dog walker at that, so I was super nervous. Nicole was fantastic from the very moment we made contact. Glad Marley will now have someone to help when I am away for a day.”
About: I have experience walking dogs for regular families, as well as pet sitting both dogs and cats for extended periods of time. I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I currently work full-time, but that doesn’t stop me from giving your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m an early riser who loves starting my mornings with a walk, so I would be more than happy to stop by before work to take care of your pet. I also often have hour-long lunch breaks, which I’m more than willing to use to check in on your pets and give them some extra love and attention. I typically finish work around 3:30–4:00 PM (and around 3:00 PM on Fridays), leaving my evenings open for additional visits or walks. On weekends, I am fully available and happy to accommodate all your pet care needs! :) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and when caring for them in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to make sure they remain stress-free and happy! I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, and I remain very attentive during walks and visits to ensure a safe environment for both me and your pet! Alongside this, I also respect your home as if it were my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Holmes
Chelsea and John were great. They were very kind to our dog and asked pertinent questions. We had a trial walk in the neighborhood, so that they could see our dog's typical behavior. We felt totally at ease with John and Chelsea taking her out for afternoon exercise. We will definitely contact the two of them in the future.
Theo has been an amazing walker with my Newfoundland Tiny! He’s incredibly communicative and on time for every walk. On days when Tiny wasn’t feeling up to a long walk, Theo found ways to get him moving in the backyard and brought him back happy and ready to chill out.
Karen was fantastic! She was always punctual, dependable, and so patient with my anxious senior dog. She took the time to earn his trust and never rushed him, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care and appreciated the updates along the way. I would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker.
Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!
Barbara is an excellent dog walker and we will go back to her time and time again. She works very well with our shy border collie and took the time to get to know him (3 visits!) before our first actual paid visit. She is very punctual and communicative which we really appreciate.
Nathan is the exact person you wanted taking care of your pets. He would take little Nathan out for us everyday at lunch time and my dog looked forward to his daily trips with one of his best buds. He always treated Nathan kindly and I never had to worry about anything. Not only was he professional but he became a crucial part of our day to day. I’d gladly take his services any day. 10/10 walker. 1000/10 person!

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

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.
