About: Hello, my name is Ranesha I have been on rover for 7 years. I have been caring for pets pretty much my whole life. I love dogs ❤️. I love caring and interacting with different types of dogs. I have no breed preference. Your pet will be loved and taken care of as it was my own. I will typically update owners 2/3 times a day to send pictures and let them know how their pup is doing. * Drop off and Pickups* For drop off and pickups I just ask that you message me when you're on the way and outside so I can get belongings together for your pup. I ask that you please do not knock on the door it keeps the dogs stress free. Drop off and pick times are from 6:00am-9pm. *** Fully Insured*** My schedule is pretty flexible. I have plenty of time to take care of and play with the pets. Please let me know if your dog has set schedules. Pets are supervised in the home. When feeding the dogs I do keep separated for safety reasons. For bed time/nap time dogs have their own hang out area.
“My dog Moses can be handful and he is not used to walking . De Juan was patient while exhibiting excellent skills calming Moses down in preparation for his walk. Moses enjoyed his walks with De Juan very much. De Juan was great handling my dog and very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend him, and would not hesitate to reach out for his services again!”
“Kyle is so awesome with my hyper active dog. He is so caring and really took to Bentley like his own. I plan to keep him on regular visits. Plus he takes awesome pictures of my pooch!!”
About: I’ve watched young puppies to older puppies and cat and treated every animal with love and respect so they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I work online so my daily work is flexible. I can work anywhere and adapt my schedule to spend time with pets throughout the day. I am great at following or creating helpful routines or help the animals feel safe and access food,water, play, sleep, walks, and fun outside activities.
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
“Aniya was amazing! She was very punctual and attentive to Tokyo. This was my first time using Rover, and Aniya has given me a very good introduction to this service. I can tell that Tokyo enjoyed her!”
About: Hello! My name is Kiley and I am an animal lover that has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family has always had some kind of pet that has either been my own or that I have helped care for. I currently have 2 cats of my own and I cannot wait to find the joy in taking care of yours and caring for them as my own as well! I am available for services such as drop-in visits and taking your pets out for a walk. I am a recent college graduate and looking to do something else that I truly enjoy and have a passion for! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to come help take care of and play with your sweet furry friends! I have a spacious apartment that I let my two cats run all over and play in and I can take care of your pets however you prefer!
“Taylor was awesome she went above and beyond for my dogs. Very kind and caring! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of dogs. Definitely recommend and will be using her services in the near future. Thanks Taylor.”
About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!
About: My love for animals began at a very young age, but to pin point, it would be 2006 when I brought my labrador retriever named Jasmine home. I grew up learning how to train and take care of Jasmine, and then a chunky pug Tony, two bunnies and three cats. In more recent years, my husband and I have our own family, a 7 year old golden retriever named Aspen, a 5 year old black cat named Kona, a 3 year old siamese mix, a 2 year old black cat named Peter and a one year old golden retriever named Magnolia! Friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets for 15+ years. I am available Monday through Friday from 9am-8pm for drop-ins and walks. But I am always willing to negotiate with you for you and your pets needs! *** Cat boarding drop off/pick up hours are 8am-8pm Mon-Sun YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $25 FEE FOR LATE PICK UP! NO EXCEPTIONS! *** In regards to cat boarding, we have an entire basement closed off to our pets so your feline friends are safe and comfortable. Water/food bowls, toys, a cat tree and a litter box will be provided. I understand the time and attention any pet needs, but especially cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat and understand their personality as well as their needs!
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I bring genuine love and deep expertise to every pup in my care. My journey began with Riley, my beloved companion who blessed my life for years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. Riley taught me patience, attentiveness, and the unique joy that comes from truly bonding with a dog. Today, that love continues with Kenobi, my energetic and adorable 3.5-year-old, who keeps my dog-care skills sharp every single day. Kenobi and I are always on the move — whether it's our regular long walks, hitting the trails for a hike, or joining our local dog walking group where pups can socialize and explore together. An active dog is a happy dog, and I make sure every dog in my care gets the exercise and enrichment they deserve. My reputation speaks for itself — family and friends have trusted me time and again to care for their beloved pups, knowing they'll be in the most loving and capable hands. That trusted word-of-mouth is the foundation of everything I do. While I'd love nothing more than to expand my fur family, the timing isn't quite right for a second dog — so dog sitting is the perfect solution! It lets me share my home, my heart, and my experience with more dogs who deserve top-notch care. When your dog stays with me, they're not just being watched — they're being welcomed into a home that truly understands and adores dogs. Your pup will be in experienced, caring hands every step of the way. Services Offered: 🐾 Dog Walking 🏠 Boarding 🧩 Enrichment Activities I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to center my day around your pup's needs. Whether it's regular potty breaks, feeding times, nap schedules, or simply cuddle time on the couch, I am fully present and attentive throughout the day. Your dog will never feel lonely or overlooked — they will always have loving company and dedicated care from morning to night! I have one 3.5-year-old Cavapoo named Kenobi who would love to keep your pup company! Crating, playpen setting or free roam can be offered depending on your dog's temperament and individual needs. And if your dog loves the outdoors, my large yard provides plenty of space to run, explore, and play!
About: I have cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a very calm individual with emergency training and you can guarantee your pet will be in good hands. I have owned a pet in all stages of my life and believe their presence makes this world a little easier. The owning and watching of pets has greatly improved my lifestyle helping me to stay active and in nature. Your dog will not be left unsupervised in any situation and crated if 100% necessary. Potty breaks, play, and mental stimulation will be often and fun. I am sure to follow any special instructions and learn your pets.
“I can’t not say enough nice things about Audrianna! She kept me updated during his walk checked in with me the whole time! She was amazing I will always use her for my dog walker/pet sitter!”
“Alexia did a wonderful job with my puppy Kai. I was nervous about using this service for the first time and Alexia took the time to answer all my questions and really made me feel at ease. She even took the time to do an in-person meet and greet. I will definitely use her again.”
“Cam was an excellent dog walker! He followed all of the instructions I left for him, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. I truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail. I will definitely be using Cam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“My dogs absolutely loved Heather! She was super sweet and very accommodating with very short notice. I will definitely use her again to walk my fur babies when I have to go out of town. Thanks so much, Heather!”
About: As a family, we've always had pets, and we enjoy our 4-yr-old goldendoodle Moose, but he loves to play and is looking forward to having new friends come stay with us! I work from home, and can let the dogs in and out of the house to the fenced backyard throughout the day. We'll play with them in the yard, and can also take them for walks in our neighborhood if requested. Our backyard is large and fully fenced, and we also have a covered screened-in porch off of our back deck, which has a doggie door to the yard. We have a large crate here at our house if your dog uses one, or you are welcome to bring your own.

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 Hopeful. 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 Hopeful.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hopeful. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
