“Griffin is such an asset! He is wonderful with Billy and you can tell that he’s very knowledgeable about dogs. He leaves great detailed messages post walk and makes sure your pup is settled and happy before he leaves. I recommend Griffin to all my friends. Billy and I truly appreciate him!”
“Jennifer is thoughtful, dedicated, and takes great care of our dog. She’s particularly good at communicating with us about questions and happenings during her visits. Our dog is triggered by other dogs and she does an awesome job managing him, calming him, and loving him. He loves when she visits!”
“Chris was absolutely a wonderful dog walker for our two dogs. He always came on time, and the dogs really looked forward to their walks with him. He is a great communicator so he and my husband were able to communicate through Rover and that was very helpful.”
“Gordon, he is very good with my dogs. The dogs are just getting to know him, but they love that he takes them for walks. He is on time & is great to work with. Plus he showed me how to use Rover. I would definitely recommend Gordon.”

About: I've always had a love for animals. Growing up on a small farm I've had the good fortune to have helped raise everything from cats and dogs to horses and chickens as well as helping my mother with her own pet sitting business for many years while in college. I also have some experience with birds like budgies and cockatiels and had 3 fancy rats. And I'm always looking to learn more about pets of all kinds. But what I have the most experience in is dogs. Growing up I had German shepherds, Australian shepherds, Maltese, Yorkies, and Havanese of all ages from newborn to senior. I've dealt with wild and high energy dogs as well as scared rescues and epileptic dogs who needed extra special love and attention. I'm hoping to be able use my experience and love for animals to help others care for their own beloved furry family members when they can't be there. I work from home so I'm able to be with your fur buddy all day, every day. Only time I might leave is if I need to run an errand but I usually wait until my husband is home so your fur buddy is never left alone. I have a large field right next to my house that's great for walking dogs plus a fenced in patio, great for lounging on nice days. I have 2 cats at home that are always shy at first but come around after a couple hours
“Tyrese is very kind, friendly & patient with Miss Peanut. She's skeptical, shy & intimidated by all strangers. Tyrese took his time with her, showed her love & she allowed him to pick her up to go for her walk. I will ask Tyrese to walk Miss Peanut again & again! Great service!”
“Amber is on time and reliable for every visit. She sends pics and is quick to respond to messages. Gus has warmed up to her and now looks forward to Amber arriving for his daily visits!”
“Iryna was amazing with my senior furbaby. We are traveling for work and staying in a hotel and she literally went above and beyond for my girl. My dog was very nervous due to being in a new town and new surroundings but Iryna really worked with her and my girl is coming around now. She even walked her in the rain. I totally recommend her and will be using her in the near future.”
“Michael does excellent work. He is always on time, provides excellent, thorough info on the walk and status of our pet. He is very caring, and playful with our pet. Michael is also respectful of our home, takes off his shoes when entering and always cleans our pets paws after the walk. I highly recommend Michael.”
About: I’m often told I love animals more than humans and honestly, that’s pretty accurate. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I started as a dog walker and pet sitter at just 12 years old, and over time, that passion has grown into years of hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I currently have a very loved cat of my own and spend my free time volunteering with the Lawrence Humane Society, fostering neonatal kittens, and the Kansas City Pig Rescue Network, which has given me experience with a wide range of animals, personalities, and care needs. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just someone calm and caring to be there, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and secure while you’re away, and that you feel completely confident they’re in good hands. I work in healthcare with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pet. On my days off, I’m fully available for visits, drop-ins, and extended care. I’m also available before or after shifts depending on the day. I’m very intentional with my bookings and will only accept requests that I’m confident align with my schedule, so your pet always receives reliable, consistent care. I’m communicative and will keep you updated with photos and check-ins. attention to detail are my top priorities. I also have hands-on experience working with dogs and cats at the Lawrence Humane Society, where I’ve cared for animals who are often timid, neglected, or previously abused. This has strengthened my patience and ability to read animal behavior, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and trusting environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, including those who need extra patience or a slower approach. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely. I provide attentive, compassionate care and always keep you updated so you feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’m the sole proprietor for my cat for 5 years, the sole proprietor for my dog for 8 years, and fostered 3 more cats for 2 years before finding loving homes for them. I love animals so much! I have a full time job Monday-Friday 7am-4pm, but I have lots of free time outside of that! My boyfriend also helps me out with checking on the animals while I’m at work! I have a cat, and live in an apartment so if I’m pet sitting it would be best to do it at your home. I love going on walks and to parks, which I do that daily so having a sweet companion to go with me would be fantastic!
About: I have three years of consistent dog-walking experience with the same family and their two dachshunds, visiting three times a week (1 hour walking) without missing a scheduled walk. That long-term commitment taught me the importance of reliability, routine, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I have also provided dog-sitting care for several families, often for about one month at a time, and have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, energy level, preferences, and communication style so they can feel safe and comfortable in my care. In addition to dogs, I am comfortable caring for cats and have many years of experience around horses through riding and handling. This has helped me become patient, observant, calm, and attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior. I genuinely enjoy building a bond through dependable care, play, companionship, and respect for each pet’s individual needs. I currently have a flexible weekday schedule and am usually available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I have plenty of time to give each pet calm, unhurried attention and am happy to follow their usual routine for walks, meals, playtime, rest, and companionship. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I take time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, personality, favorite activities, boundaries, and any special instructions from their owner. Whether I am caring for a dog or a cat, I keep doors and gates secure, handle leashes and carriers carefully, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I also respect the owner’s home, keep pet areas clean, and leave everything as I found it. I am happy to send photos and updates during each visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.
“Nadia has been an excellent help the last couple weeks since I landed on choosing her as a dog walker through Rover. I was very nervous getting on here and putting my dog in the care of another individual while away on long days working. She has allowed me to be at ease now after our meet and greet and a couple walks so far. She pays attention to my concerns, keeps me updated and informed on her walks, sends me pictures of my dog on these walks, and adores/talks about my dog like she is her own. I can tell when my dog has gotten out of the crate and on an adventure while I was away because she is chipper and happier than she was before when she did not. I can tell Nadia loves her job, is gentle and trustworthy, and I plan on continuing to book her! Thanks SO much, Nadia!!! We love you already!❤️”

Iryna is so dependable and takes my girl on her walks. She’s very aware of the weather and if it’s hot she takes her to a shaded area and they kinda just hang there. Very caring and mindful of the best interest of my dog. Ava just loves her and can’t wait to see her when she’s coming!
Kris made sure not only my dog was comfortable the entire time, but he also eased my anxiety with pictures and updates!! My dog is a strong stubborn lab, but Kris was the perfect fit. Highly recommend him to anyone who also has anxiety about their puppy like me.
Elena was wonderful - This was the first time we used Rover after a negative experience with a private dog-walking service, so we were a little nervous to try someone new - but Elena was exactly what we needed: punctual, responsive, attentive and caring toward our dog, noting and following all instructions on food, water, walking habits, etc. She gave us every assurance and confidence - Would highly recommend her and would definitely be using her again if we travel out of town again!
Jennifer is thoughtful, dedicated, and takes great care of our dog. She’s particularly good at communicating with us about questions and happenings during her visits. Our dog is triggered by other dogs and she does an awesome job managing him, calming him, and loving him. He loves when she visits!
Stacy Y. is the absolute best! My dogs LOVE her. She is great with stubborn and strong dogs as well. We liked her so much, several of my neighbors now use her as well! She is a wonderful communicator and is always on time. I would book her every single day if I could!!!! Huge endorsement for Stacy.

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.
