“Aja was great! I injured my foot and needed someone last minute to walk our dogs. She was quick to reply, prompt, friendly and my dogs took to her quickly! I also do River sitting and I got nothing but good vibes from her :) Thanks again Aja!”
About: I’ve owned all sorts of pets since I was young. Dogs of any and all sizes are welcome here, I love all breeds. I currently have pit bulls, a Great Dane and a bernedoodle. Also comfortable with cats, ferrets, chinchillas and even hedgehogs! I currently have open availability, any time is always great with me. I’m available days, nights and weekends. I also don’t require much advance notice. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I try to stick to their normal routine as far as feeding and walking, no need to stress out the pets!
About: My mom was a pet sitter when I was younger and I loved going with her to check on the animals. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own that I adore:) I also watch my close friends dogs and cats anytime she is out of town, her pets love me and she would highly recommend me. I am currently a stay at home mom available 7 days a week! The most ideal times for me would be after 11am, though I can make earlier times work tho if needed! I would have my baby with me when caring for your pets. I have a fenced in yard! I take my dog on walks occasionally during the week! If crating is needed I can accommodate to that as well.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities through both professional grooming and hands on pet care. As the owner of a family oriented grooming business, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-pet households, and I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In our home, pets are treated like family, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. They get to run outside in our fenced back yard, (which supervision of course), Because I work with animals daily, your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection throughout the day. We keep a smaller number of pets at a time to provide a calm, personalized, family-style environment with no kennels or overcrowding so every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for! At night, sleeping on beds, sofas or their own dog bed! Family style environment with no kennels or overcrowding. Dogs are supervised closely and treated like part of the family while they are in our care. I have experience handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with pictures and communication so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for
About: Hi! My name is Kira, and I am beginning to pet sit again after a few years off. I have had pets my entire life and began pet sitting regularly about 7 years ago. I love animals and love being able to spend time with them and help them feel comfortable. I would love to have repeat clients to help your pets feel like they have a home away from home. We have a large home and outdoor space to accommodate multiple pets. You can let me know your preference of whether you’d like them kept separate or allowed to play with and interact with others. You can also let me know you prefer for them to have a room, roam, or be kept in their crate. Please reach out with any questions! I always have open communication with my families. I’m a SAHM, so my schedule revolves around my kiddos and the pets we’re caring for! My children are still young, so we spend a lot of our time at home. They LOVE dogs, so your pups will get tons of extra love and attention when staying at our home. I can ensure your pet gets as much attention as necessary to ensure a comfortable pet sitting experience. I’m happy to meet your pet before jumping into their care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with whoever you’re leaving your pet with. Please let me know if you’d like to meet at my house, have me come to yours, or elsewhere to ensure I’m a good fit for your furry family members.
About: I’ve previously worked in two separate boarding kennels over the last 3 years, applying care to all sorts of breeds, sizes, and ages! I’ve also fed, bathed, and cared for my own dogs all my life. I am currently not working, this ensures that I will have all the time that your pet deserves during the day and night to spend with them! I can easily adapt to any environment. Within your home I will respect the way you have things set up and I will be sure to follow any requests you have!
“Suzanne did a fantastic job!!! She took great care of our Lola and kept us updated on her walks by sending us photos and a map that showed where they walked. We are so glad we found her on Rover and will definitely use her again the next time when we go on vacation.”
“Danielle is very conscientious and took very good care of my quirky pooch, including taking pictures of her plopped on the ground and refusing to get up. She did a good job of coaxing her home. My dog really likes her.”
About: I absolutely adore every breed and personality! I have a special place in my heart for brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers. With my veterinary technician background, I’m very familiar with their unique needs, including breathing concerns, heat sensitivity, skin care, and medication management. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra TLC, or has medical needs requiring medications or special monitoring, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a wife, proud mama to my baby girl, and pet mom to 10 cats and 5 dogs, caring for others is simply who I am. My days are full, but they revolve around the things I love most—family and animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me; it’s an extension of my everyday life. With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I’m used to managing feeding schedules, medications, special needs, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Caring for multiple pets every day has taught me how to stay organized, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and routine. When you trust me with your pets, you’re trusting someone who truly understands that they are family. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll care for your furry family with the same love, patience, and dedication that I give my own every single day. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced-in backyard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and fresh air in a secure environment. My home is truly animal-friendly. My cats and dogs are all used to being around other animals and have friendly personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I am fully able to separate my animals from visiting pets when needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
About: I have experience with all types of animals from small to large! I don’t remember a time in my life where we did not own and care for animals! I have cared for horses, goats, chickens, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have experience with animals with specials needs as I have a dog that has seizures, a diabetic cat, and a rescue who is very timid with humans; so I have a lot of understanding and patience with all animals. I can administer insulin and give oral medication to both dogs and cats if required. I am open to meeting you and your pet ahead of any care so that you can meet me and feel comfortable with me watching your beloved pets! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I currently work part time on the week days usually only 2-3 days a week and only between the hours of 8-5. My days rotate every other week In your home I can do any routine with your pet that you normally do. Scheduling feeding times, potty breaks, play time in the yard, medications, or anything else they may require. In my home I do have two dogs who love every dog they meet, and a cat who keeps to himself most of the time but does fine with other pets. They have all been around plenty of other animals. We do have a very well fenced back yard. Unfortunately at the moment I will probably not be taking in our home care as we our doing renovations so our house is a bit of a mess for guests.
About: I’m currently in school full time for my MSW and have started pet sitting to help! I’ve taken care of plenty of pets during my active duty time. The military causes a lot of last minute changes that require trust worthy people to step in and support. I understand the need to leave our furry friends with a trusted person, let me be that for you! :) Im a full time Grad School student. Most of the time I will be home with your pets or working out. Either way, we love to stay active here! I have a fenced yard, and love going on walks. I live in a very animal friendly neighborhood that makes a perfect home for pets.
About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I am currently not working as of this moment. So I am available and free for your babies any time! I look forward to meeting you guys! While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available

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 Lakeside. 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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
