“This is my first time using Rover or any dog walking service at all. I totally lucked out with Mary Helen! She is a true animal lover, which is just what you want in a dog walker/caretaker. She has walked my husky, Niko, for a few weeks now. He absolutely loves her! She is always friendly, on time, flexible with my schedule if I need to change something, and always keeps me updated on how he did on his walk with information and pictures. She even runs a little bit sometimes with Niko (which is great to tire him out). Niko is a better dog because of Mary Helen! I am very, very pleased with her services and I feel like we're already friends :) I highly recommend her for taking care/walking your doggos!”

5 stars !🌟 Ginger is so sweet and down to earth. She is very communicative and punctual. Ginger walked my dog for a few days while I was feeling under the weather. Ginger was an absolute joy, she was very communicative and punctual. My dog loved her and immediately went down for a nap every day after his walk with her. I trust her completely and will reach out to her in the future for sure. Thanks 🙏 Ginger !! 🐶

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.

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.
