“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Ryan has been such a huge blessing. We walk our neighbor's dog regularly but since I was traveling for two weeks, we asked our neighbor if we could hire a dog walker for that time. Ryan not only managed a big strong dog but willingly accepted the dog's owner walking with him. She has some medical challenges that make it hard for her to walk her dog but she still wants the exercise. He was always early as well as patient, kind and respectful. We will definitely use him again.”
“Madison is easily the best sitter we have ever had!!! She is reliable, caring, and so easy to work with! She continues to spoil both our pup and us with absolutely fantastic service!!”
“Victoria has been excellent to work with and Has great customer service. She goes the extra mile to ensure the provided service is completed. We plan on continuing to utilizing her services.”
About: I have been dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting since I could drive. I am very consistent with young, old, and special needs pets. I have a standard poodle with oodles of energy at home and two cats. I have a regular work schedule and a lot of extra time to spend on my pets and yours. I love spending time outside, training, and playing with dogs. I seem to have more energy than my poodle, who often needs a nap break from me… Therefore it is very easy for me to prioritize spending time with and taking care of your pet! I have a large fenced in yard and a crate trained, high energy poodle at home. They can play or be easily kept separate. In your home, I would be as respectful and tidy as if it were mine.

Weekends, early mornings, and nights are no problem. I make sure all pets have the clean space they need to be comfortable and happy. You will receive lots of updates and photos of your little one!

“Janine is an amazing sitter! Having her dependable and responsible service makes my life as a pet owning flight attendant that much easier. Two thumbs up! She's awesome!! So glad I can trust that my baby (pup) is well taken care of while I'm away ”
About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.
About: I'm Isa, a recent college grad (and dog mom!). I've cared for large dogs all my life, from hyper puppies to seniors with special accommodations. I care deeply about providing the best possible care and attention to your pet/s, I'm flexible and honest, so feel free to reach out with specific requests! 🐕 🐾 Available in the evening Sun through Wed after 7pm; otherwise free for pet care Thurs through Sat. Scheduling in advance, when possible, is preferred. 😊 I am glad to walk your dog depending on their needs, regarding age, abilities, and breed size.

About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
About: I've taken care of animals of every kind my whole life. My connection with animals was always so clear that it was the topic of a childhood nickname. Friends, family, and colleagues often trust me to support any pet care needs they have with playing, feeding, cleaning, hygiene, and medical needs. I have a very flexible work schedule and can often do work remotely. I have a tiny home on wheels for hosting on a limited basis - or lightening my pet-sitting presence in a home if I am parked nearby. Either way, I'm happy to make time for your pets' needs! I have general availability every day of the week, but still need to check specific date ranges due to my travel and work schedule. In my own home, I have very limited space so would only be able to host a very forgiving cat or low energy dog. In your home, I respect your rules and environment. If I don't know something and can't reasonably figure it out, I will always ask and go to you for further instruction. Any space I'm in, I try to leave better than I found.

Maggie does a fantastic job! She is incredibly attentive to my pitbull mix, Allie, always ensuring she stays cool on warm walks, practicing her training commands, and even pivoting to playtime if Allie isn't in the mood for a walk. Maggie is professional, punctual, hardworking, and remarkably easy to communicate with. I absolutely love receiving the photo updates after each walk. I highly recommend her services!
Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!
Sam was absolutely wonderful. She walked our dogs on a regular basis for the past few months. She was always on time, made sure to provide plenty of info and pics, and was extremely flexible with our always changing schedule. Our pups will miss her daily visits as we are moving away. Thank you for treating our dogs just like your own.

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 Ilchester. 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 .
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.
