“We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Brayden! He cared for Jesse during 10 walks/visits while we were unavailable and was reliable, flexible, and responsive despite several unexpected schedule changes on our end. He communicated clearly, was readily available, followed our instructions, and fed Jesse & took him on walks, providing exercise, enrichment and attention. We would gladly use Brayden again.”

“We are so grateful for Jennifer caring for and walking our dog! We received great updates and photos, and Luna clearly looked forward to and enjoyed her time with Jennifer. We’ll definitely reach out again!”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a black lab, a beagle, and a grey tabby cat, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve worked as a boarding manager and at a structured dog daycare focused on creating calm, positive environments for dogs. This gave me experience reading dog body language and understanding different personalities, from high-energy pups to shy or anxious pets. I also volunteer at a local rescue, which has helped me build patience and trust with animals who need a little extra care, including senior or nervous pets. I’m confident handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. ✍️Quick Highlights • Experience with cats & dogs of all ages and temperaments • Former boarding manager and dog daycare worker • Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets • Able to reinforce basic training • Work from home with a flexible schedule • Frequent updates and photos 🐶💕Care Style & Training I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping their routine calm and consistent. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, and house rules, and I respect both your home and your pet’s boundaries.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and have frequently cared for friends pets while they were away. I used to volunteer for the humane society and have had various trainings for proper pet handling. I work full time but love to get in early morning or late evening walks. Our schedule is pretty flexible so I can talk with you to find something that works best. I have a large fenced in yard and one friendly dog to play with. We can accommodate kennels as needed. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our home, but we have pet gates in place to separate by areas of the home if needed. When your dog stays with me they become a member of our family. My schedule is currently flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, whether they need an early morning walk, a midday potty break, dinner-time visit, or evening check-in. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and respect both your pet’s routine and your space. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and known escape artists, and I take time to make sure pets feel comfortable with me rather than rushing interactions. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have traveled across the US as a horse groom, have 4 years experience with dogs and have worked at multiple board/train facilities. I ride western pleasure and currently working with my trainer to start foals. I grew up with beagles and currently have a pit bull and shepard mix at home! I mostly work in the morning at starbucks and have a lot of free time mid day. My riding is normally at night because of how my trainer has times set up I would prefer having the pets at the owners house. I have noticed a lot of pets dealing with anxious tendencies while at a board facility with other dogs.
About: I've grown up around dogs/cats! I love getting as much time in with animals as possible. Ran a boarding facility (with day care) for 8+ years. I've taken care of many senior dogs (needing medication/specialty food) and have also bred, so I have lots of puppy experience. I also offer training! I work solely out of my home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your pets needs! I'm available 24/7 with reliable transportation. I have very large fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keep your baby company. I allow pets anywhere I go (even my furniture). I also have dog crates in home so you don't need to carry yours back and forth!

About: I got my first dog when I was 15 years old. I potty trained him myself, took him on multiple walks a day, and spoiled him rotten. He lived for 16 years. My future puppy is 3 weeks old and will be a service dog for me. I plan to train him myself with professional guidance and also get him certified as a therapy dog! My schedule is very flexible for the time being and I would be able to start assisting with your pet care needs today! I am open to helping out with dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have a fenced in backyard, my cats get filtered ice water daily, and they only eat the best food on the market. I am a nurse so I am also very good at giving medications if needed. I will definitely give your animal lots of love and kisses as well!
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, which has given me hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my natural comfort and understanding of animals—I’m attentive to their behavior, patient with their needs, and focused on making them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and older pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s helping reinforce basic training for young dogs, sticking to routines, or providing calm, attentive care for seniors, I adjust my approach to fit each pet. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets and following specific care instructions closely. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with reliability, compassion, and plenty of attention. I am currently working part time, so my availability is flexible for walks and drop-in visits! I do have my own furry friend, so I am unavailable for extended visits and overnight care. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own - frequent walks, play time, and all the snuggles! Safety is a must for me, so I promise your dog and home will always be safe in my care.

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of all kinds of animals and pets! I’m currently in school for Veterinary Nursing, and I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your pet! I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving the care of your pet to a stranger and would make sure you’re always updated as fits your needs. I work part time currently while in school, and I actually am working towards making my clients here on Rover my full time job while in school! Currently, I will not be able to house any pets yet as I live in an apartment complex. I will be able to do walks and daily drop ins and hopefully expand to a house where dogs can stay and play! I do have the ability to do dog washes as well.
“Robert is great! Millie seemed to love her walks with him. Looking forward to having him watch her for a couple weeks in the near future! I was very nervous to leave her with anyone for that long, but I feel reassured knowing that Robert will take care of her like his own dog.”


“Jack continues to provide excellent service walking our dog Benson. It was bitter cold a couple mornings. We have him scheduled for early in the morning and he was always on time. He took Benson for the whole scheduled walk not cutting it short even on the really cold mornings. Thank you Jack!!!”


“KALEB is excellent with dogs. He’s more than capable of handling them. Mine were frisky and excited to walk and pulled on the leash, but he handled everything fine. He is exceptionally good with the dogs, he is very polite and trustworthy”

About: I’ve enjoyed and cared for dogs of all sizes since I was old enough to walk, grew up with German Shepherds, Pit-bulls and a Pomeranian full of energy. I’m currently working remotely and have the flexibility to care for your pet anytime. I manage my schedule two weeks in advance making it a lot easier for everyone. For now I can only offer dog walking services, home-sitting, and day visits. My goal is to not disrupt their routine and help them stay calm while they enjoy some light activity.

About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.
“Opening my home and trusting our pup with someone I didn't know was nerve racking. That was until I met Jeannie! You can tell she truly has a passion for animals and enjoys what she does. Communicates well, punctual, and does her best to work with your scheduling needs. Highly recommend.”


About: I have been a lifetime pet owner, small to big. I helped raise 6 vizsla puppies in 2023 and continue to care for 3 of them when they need it. I have two cats myself that I love dearly. I also already work with dogs full time at a doggy daycare!! I am currently working full time so I will have time to take care of your fur baby in the morning and in the evening!! As a dog walker I will respect your home and space by not touching or wandering in spaces that I don’t need to be in. I will also respect your dog and their boundaries, I’m used to dogs that don’t like people and dogs that like people a little bit too much. There’s not much I won’t be able to handle!!
About: Ive had dogs and taken care of them since i was 10. I love playing and cuddling with dogs and showing them alot of love. Im currently going to school to become a vet tech. I am avaiable any time any day since all my school work is online at my own pace. I will give them constant walks. I have two playful dogs that are ready to make new friends. At others i will constantly let them out when need and all the play time they want
About: I know how hard it is to find someone you trust to watch your pets and how crazy life can be. I have two dogs of my own and they are my children so I understand wanting to leave your pets in good hands. I’m open to all breeds of dogs, cats, etc. and I know how some times you just want your pet to be worn out when you get home so I will do my very best to do so. I have my own dog who I care for and spoil. I’m a pretty active person and my dog goes just about every where with me. I have a pretty good size yard, a dog park close by, and tons of toys, treats and puzzles available for dogs. Also can have a dog available to play with or can just have one on one time with your pet.

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 .

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.
