“Our baby boy Tucker loves Lora!! We are excited to keep having her walk him multiple times every week from now on! I was nervous about doing this app at first, and Lora has really made me feel comfortable!!”
“Our yellow lab Rosie had the best time! She got plenty of walks and attention, and Rose even helped clean up and take care of a little skin irritation while we were gone. We came home to a super happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Taylor walked our two dogs for five days and she was great. She sent videos and pictures from the walks and provided detailed updates. She was flexible with her time and didn't mind walking in the rain. She was great to work with and the dogs really enjoyed their time together. We will work with her again.”
About: Stephanie has been a dog lover from a very young age. Sean has worked with dogs in the Military and as a Canine Officer since the age of 18. We believe that your dog should be treated the way they are treated at home- like a family member! We are fortunate to have many years of experience with all types of breeds between us. We excel at bringing new furry personalities into our “pack” and making each dog feel at home. We have a tri-level home that has been “baby gated” to separate doggies if needed. Our yard is completely enclosed with extra safety in mind for potential “escape artists”. We take safety and security very seriously- Sean’s extensive experience as a canine officer/instructor and Stephanie’s lifelong ownership of different breeds allows us to bring all that knowledge together to create the ideal setup and experience for your doggies. We have a doggie door that enables 24/7 access to bathroom breaks, into a secured yard. We recently installed artificial turf in our backyard- an amazing invention for keeping a clean area for doggies to play and run…We currently utilize pet safe cleaner to ensure the turf is clean and safe to play and roll around on. We are able to provide a safe, secure, playful and all-inclusive environment for your fur baby, with light training and excellent pack socialization. We are currently owned by a 2.5 year old female boxer dog named Scarlet. She is a joy and LOVES having friends come by to play with! All of our guests are never left unattended and play time is always supervised. We have experience administering medications, and if needed, can provide a safe “recovery” area for dogs post surgery or with limited mobility. Dogs are fed separately and ONLY if requested by owners, can be crated. We are able to host dogs with special needs- anxiety, special diets, etc (on a case by case basis). With Sean’s extensive working Canine experience, we are able to provide the ideal boarding situation for Military Working Dogs (active/retired) as well as Police Canines. Sean is able to reinforce any current training methods to ensure working dogs maintain proficiencies. Our motto, “just like home” is how we operate! We have multiple dog beds of varying sizes, many, many toys of different kinds and allow couch snuggles as well (if that’s ok with you!) We would prefer a “meet and greet” to get to know your dog(s) so we can plan appropriately for any overnight/boarding guests. We also, love to send pet parents pictures of your doggie’s stay so you can share their experience and see how much fun they are having! Our schedule is centered around dog care! We are able to host dogs in our home every day of the week and available for drop-ins/dog walks Mon-Sat 9am-5pm. Exceptions can be made upon request... We have designed our yard and interior with safety and security as a priority. Yard is fully gated- with multiple "layers", and our home has been baby-gated to provide separation from the pack- if needed. We have interior and exterior cameras to ensure that all dogs have "eyes on" at all times-

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs like chihuahuas to pitbulls I’ve watched my sisters dogs over the past years she trust me and i’ve always keep her updated on how her dogs are doing I provide daily photos and videos of her dogs so that she is comfortable and aware of how her doggies are doing I have two dogs of my own and I try my best to keep them happy and active just like I would with any other pets! I’m currently working a full time job, I could do mornings and evening and most weekends I’m always mostly have weekends off my full time time! I’ve dog sat for my sister and normally I follow their schedule/ instructions but I also love to add playtime and keep the dogs nice and healthy and I try to be as comforting and helpful to them
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with real, hands-on experience — I’ve had my dog for 10 years and I care for my two cats daily. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do. At home, I take care of my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine—feeding them on time, cleaning their spaces, giving them playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and keep the environment clean and calm. Whether at home or in a client’s home, I focus on giving each pet the same patience, care, and respect I give my own.
“Adriana was great! She arrived in time, was very attentive to my instructions and info shared on my dogs needs. She communicated great before, during, and after. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
“I am so happy I found Gretchen and her daughter to hang with my puppy, Cooper, now that I am back in the office some days. They are great with him and I know he loves their walks!”
About: I’ve not only had my own pets throughout my entire life, but have cared for the pets of those around me on multiple occasions, whether it be dog walking for neighbors, or pet sitting for vacations. I work from home and am typically available all day to care for your pets. I am flexible and can come check on your pets when needed as well. When checking in on your pets in your home I will spend quality time with them, while also checking their food and water supply and making sure their living situation is up to standard. When caring for pets in my home, I will treat them as my own.
“Susan is extremely easy to work with! Prompt, leaves great feed back and most importantly, our pup, Scout loves her! Scout can be hard to handle as he is dog reactive, and Susan has no issues with having to deal with him. Would highly recommend!”
“McKenna was great with my pup and taking her for a walk so that my dog could get out while I was at work. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area!”

We needed a dog walker as my husband was recovering from foot surgery and I was leaving town for a few days. Xiaotong did a fantastic job with our pups. She sent lots of photos of their walks. They were thrilled to go with her each day. We will certainly call on her again.

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.
