“Erin was prompt and on time for the visits, and we felt comfortable having her walk Iris. We appreciated the visit updates and pictures! We’ve already booked Erin for more future visits!”
“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!!”
“My last minute request resulted in Shanna giving Coda a walk he desperately needed. Coda is training to walk without pulling and Shanna used the directions given. She provided excellent feedback on how Coda did after the walk.”
“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.”
“Jenn took the time to meet me and Tucker the day prior to his scheduled visit. It was appreciated she took the time and interest to make sure we felt comfortable with her visiting our home and that Tucker took to her. Tucker knew almost immediately through her engagement with him that she was his new best friend! Upon Jenn visit I received a text of her arrival and then feedback when the visit was completed with adorable pictures and a feeling of ease that my fur baby’s needs were met. Thank you Jenn, we look forward to your future visits.”
“Grace was awesome with my dog and cat! I felt that she was better than other sitters/walkers I've used in getting my pets beneficial activity and giving them valuable attention. The cat, who doesn't always like people, took to her in a matter of minutes. She was reliable, flexible, and kind. I definitely recommend her for dog and cat owners!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. While I’m not able to have any furry companions of my own right now because of my current living situation, I truly miss having them in my life. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and, with your permission, a few well-deserved treats! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time at home Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm however, my schedule is flexible and I am able to take breaks throughout the day. I can make almost anything work with enough notice. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the environment where they feel happiest and most comfortable. I understand that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine and needs are met every step of the way.
About: I currently work full-time in ABA, which has helped me become very patient, attentive, and dependable. I’ve had pets since I was 15 and currently have a cat named Cleo, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. My schedule is also pretty flexible, with some availability during the day. I would treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I’ll follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel cared for and comfortable while their owner is away.
“Amber was amazing, she was so kind and loving with my 7 month old puppy. She answered all my questions and made sure Momo enjoyed her walk, exploring and sniffing to her heart's content! I was a bit nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but I will definitely be coming back! Thanks again Amber!!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Ingrid made it a great one. She came early to give the dogs time to feel comfortable with her and she gave great updates. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was a child for friends, neighbors, and family. I also have 10+ years of experience working in an animal hospital and I am comfortable with administering medical treatment when needed. I am relatively new to the area with an open schedule during the day that allows me to spend plenty of time getting to know your companion animals. Safety is a priority for me so I make sure to follow your specifications pertaining to your animal. No two animals are alike and I will ensure that I follow your guidelines on what is right for you and your pet.
“Meg is amazing!!! She has been a total life saver. I work long hours in the health care field and she has been walking Benny everyday during the week . She comes between 11:00-1:00 everyday. Benny loves her! He is a much happier dog with a way better quality of life. Her training experience has made a difference. I notice he walks better on his leash with me and my son since Meg has been walking him too. I would highly recommend Meg.”
About: Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs I can do it all! My family dog of 10+ just past away recently so this is how I'm filling that dog shaped hole in my heart. I live in a house with a large fenced in yard and work from home so your pup will get plenty of attention if you choose to board with me! I'm free at almost any day and any time! I prefer afternoons or evenings but I can do mornings as well if needed. My schedule is very flexible. My family dog of 10 years just died recently but before that he enjoyed a long and fulfilled life. I've also been cat sitting for friends and neighbors years now. The people I live with are allergic to cats so cat sitting is how I get to enjoy being around feline companions!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in high school, giving me over 20 years of hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities.

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 Howard. 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. 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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
