“Emily was super sweet towards my two pups. She has an obvious love for animals. My two pups really enjoyed her visit and were very comfortable around her. That’s always a good sign, in my opinion. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Emily was SUPER patient with us and was amazing with our pups! Our pups aren’t the easiest to walk but she was super kind and accommodating. Can’t wait to use her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Melissa! She is always punctual, respectful, and sweet with my dogs. I WFH but don’t have time to walk them most weekdays so it gives me peace of mind knowing Melissa gives my dogs time to be outside! She takes the cutest pictures of them during walks—it brightens my day and reassures me that they’re happy and well cared for.”
About: After my experience working at a boarding kennel, my friends, family, and colleagues looked to me for pet care. Ever since I’ve been walking, feeding, and looking after animals of all different sizes for my people. I’ve loved being able to take care and spend time with animals and making sure people feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and loved with me. I’ve distributed insulin, eye drops, and oral medicine, and I can bathe/brush/clip nails as well. Starting the 28th of November, I’ll be off all day Sunday and Saturday. On weekdays I’ll be able to check in before 8am and after 5:30pm. I feed and prepare food based on feeding instructions, clean up after pet made messes. I walk on designated routes for any desired amount of time. I try to give as much snuggles if the pet is comfortable, if not I respect animals boundaries
“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”
“Hailey is great. Super quick to respond, asks questions (doesn't assume), sweet with the dogs, provides detailed feedback. Looking forward to her watching our dogs for a long weekend.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.
“Lisa is absolutely amazing! My dog adores her! I know he is in great hands each time she has him. She is so attentive and follows the directions left. Lisa will always be my number one choice for Charlie!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in high school, so I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always genuinely loved being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and of course giving plenty of attention and cuddles! I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention and cuddles. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have lots of company and I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate their normal routine and needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy plenty of outdoor time, play, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and daily routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while they’re away from home. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles!
“Sarahi was incredible with my dog Eisley. My dog was immediately comfortable with her and was excited for walk time everyday. Would absolutely book her again and the only reason she is not helping any longer is because I am moving.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals in the house - not just dogs and cats, but mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, parakeets, and even horses! I also regularly house-sat and cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats. I got my first dog, Daisy the Pomeranian, when I was in college. Now I have three kids who have the privilege of growing up with two dogs in the house as well! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with two kids in grade school. If I’m not with them, I’m here for you! I can let your pups out for a quick potty or take them on longer walks around the neighborhood. I can give treats, medicines, or both! I crate train my own dogs so I am familiar with that as well.
“Melianna was a great help & went out of her way to celebrate Rosie’s birthday. She was very attentive to our dogs and we would hire her when needed in the future. Pat & Art Chase”
About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.
About: As a friendly cat-sitter for family friends around the area, and cat owner for years, I know the responsibilities of caring for one. These include changing the litter, understanding feeding schedules, playing, etc. I have taken care of cats from all stages of life! Additionally, I have taken care of friends’ dogs while they are out of town by feeding, walking, and playing with them! Your pet will be cared for like my own, and rest assured they will be loved, content, fed, and safe while you are gone! I am available for last-minute holiday visits! I’m currently a full time student and work a part time job as an intern at FCPS. As for availability, please message me, I am very flexible. I can assure you your dogs will stay active, fed, groomed, and cared for in every way! As far as cats I have one at home so I will adjust to the cats’ personality by giving them space if need be. Additionally, I will make sure they are clean, fed, and hydrated!
About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.

Melissa was fantastic! She took Archie (my dog) on walks and was very mindful of his needs. Asked very important questions prior to initial walk and I felt safe letting her walk my pup. She was also very accommodating to last minute scheduling, which I was very grateful for. Definitely recommend!
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Juno. She was always incredibly attentive, caring, dependable, and genuinely seemed to care about her well-being. Juno passed away a few weeks ago, and looking back, I’m especially grateful knowing that when I couldn’t be there, she was in the hands of someone who treated her with so much kindness and compassion. It was obvious that Emily didn’t simply see taking care of Juno as a job, she truly cared about her. That meant more to me than I can adequately put into words, particularly as Juno got older and needed a little extra attention and patience. I would recommend Emily without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with a pet they love. I’ll always be grateful for the care, kindness, and affection she showed Juno.
Emily was the best with our pups! She’s super attentive to their needs and makes sure they’re well taken care of. I also really appreciate her detailed notes and photos, makes me feel reassured that the pups are in good hands! Will definitely book again, she’s a true animal lover and shows it!
My family was very happh with Ji Ung and Hyunjoo taking care of our dog Toast :) They were very nice from the moment we met them and we werr able to explain both on the website as well as inperson any comments or extra details about what Toast might need. They would even send us a couple of videos here and there of him eating or playing which reassured us how well he was taken care of. Thank you both again for taking care of him so well!
Ingrid is an excellent dog walker! She has taken care of our puppy very well on each and every walk and has provided us detailed information on how she is doing, especially while recovering from illness. We recommend her service to anyone who needs closer care, love and attention to their pets!
We booked another service with Paige for several days and she took the absolute best care of our pup! She provided consistent updates, was on time for each visit, and followed his daily routine without difficulty. We were traveling for holidays, so our minds were even more at ease knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend booking with Paige!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 15,060 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ivakota. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ivakota. 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 Ivakota.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 Ivakota. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
