About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12 and get excited at every animal I meet. I want to give any animal that I am taking care of the best care and attention to make them happy. I’m currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals and check in on them when they need or take them on a walk. I treat every client’s home with utmost respect and focus on taking amazing care of their pet. I follow any specific rules or requests and make sure that the pet is happy and safe.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life of all sizes and breeds. I currently have two dogs and have lots of experience with puppies. I have lots of experience with dogs including walking, pet sitting and play time! I currently work full time Monday-Thursday but will have Fridays and the weekends to spend with your fur baby. I am happy to spend mornings, evenings and throughout the day watching over your pet. I love going for walks so your dog will enjoy regular walks, playtime, fetch, and lots of attention. I'll tailor activities to your dog's age, energy level, and personality to make sure they have a fun!
“Great Rover sitter and dog walker. He really takes care of our girls, even with their individual needs. They seem much happier after he comes by and it helps us keep our energetic dog happy!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including 12 years working with horses. I currently work for a dog boarding facility for the past 4+ years. I have a 1.5 year old puppy that I rescued who is a Reservation dog. Due to his fear/anxiety I’ve dealt with and trained him from being reactive with people and kids. Ive worked with many different dogs at my job - size and temperament. I work 5 days a week. Tuesday and Thursday I am only gone 5 hours, every other Mondays I work 10-6 with a 1 hour break or 5 hours, Wednesday I work 10-6 with a 1 hour break, Sunday I work 9-1 and have 4 hours before I go back work 5-8, Fridays are clear, and Saturday I have church at 5 We have two dogs in our household, they both stick to their schedules. Daily walks and dog park trips, enrichment activities, etc. they are very spoiled! I wouldn’t treat any dog/animal any differently!
“Emily was so wonderful! She replied day-of which was so helpful because I was sick and really needed someone to exercise my pup. She was reliable, so friendly and positive, on time, and got along with my dog right away. I would recommend Emily anytime!”
About: I have been walking and house sitting for dogs for almost 10 years. I have experience with most breeds, from puppies to old timers. I provide lots of love, pets and exercise for them while their owners are away. I have experience giving medications as well as potty training. I want to make sure your furry baby stays happy and healthy while you are busy! I am a part time nanny and part time dog walker. I love being able to get outside, rain or shine. I have a passion for helping both people and pets. I understand that some dogs can become very anxious when their owner is away. I will be sure to give your dog plenty of affection and play time during visits. Play time is not only good for developing dog's social skills and mental and physical growth, it also enhances the connection between us and is an activity we both enjoy!
About: I have solid experience managing care for several pets at the same time while keeping everything calm, organized, and consistent. I’ve handled a wide range of personalities and energy levels, and I stay patient, calm, and consistent with every pet. I pay attention to the small things—body language, comfort, and habits—so I can make sure each animal feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I’m a full-time student at Ohio University, but I only take pet-sitting bookings when I’m back home in Arvada, Colorado. Pet care fits easily into my routine during school breaks because I have open availability and plenty of time to focus on each pet. During those breaks, I’m fully present and able to give consistent attention, walks, and care. I create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for. I follow the owner’s routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and body language. I also send updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs overnight when families are out of town. Very lovey and cuddly with sweet pet friends. Great with both cats and dogs I’m currently on a break from school and work so I’m pretty available and happy to help. Love getting to hang out with your furry friends I’m very careful about security making sure you dogs stay safe and that I ensure your door is locked keeping your home safe and secure
About: I have had multiple dogs my whole life and get sad for days that pass without puppy pets. We have 2 dogs currently in our home that love to play and have new friends! We have a large, fenced in yard and a doggy dog for frequent inside and outside playing. Crates are available in home if needed. Both members of the home have flexible work schedules with pups only being left alone for 1-2 hours a day, if at all! My husband and I both have very flexible work schedules. While he works from home most of the week, I can come and go throughout the day, leaving pups alone for only 1-2 hours at a time. We enjoy walks or field trips daily around the home and to various dog parks. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly pups in the home! We have a doggy door for frequent exploring and can easily crate your pup, if needed.
About: I have had many dogs in my life. My most recent dog was Journey, she was a sweetheart rescue from a puppy mill who I retrained to become comfortable with her surrounding again. I’ve had to administer medication to my dogs, as well as training them from puppies, and caring for through their senior years. I do have some appointments and commitments, butI am mostly free throughout the week! I love going for short walks, as well as spending quality time with the dogs I care for! I have a fenced in yard and live in a neighborhood with easy walking access to a pond. My home has no pets in it currently, and dogs are allowed inside my home as well.
“I’ve used Amrine a few times now for dogwalking and she has always been amazing. Polite, on time, great with my baby, making sure she gets in a good walk, bathroom breaks, food and water. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience! She was incredibly sweet and caring with Zeus, and I could tell he felt comfortable with her right away. I loved getting the adorable pictures and updates while I was away! She was also so flexible with my somewhat last-minute scheduling, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zeus was happy and in such good hands. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“We love Callie so much! She is so responsive (even to last minute requests) and dependable. Our pup loves to see her and we are so grateful for her love and attention to pup over the past few years!”
About: I grew up around pets and have three dogs of my own that I love to go on adventures with! I am great with small and large breeds and have experience with both. I’d be happy to provide a variety of services to your pup, from walking, drop in visits, and a variety of excursion activities like swimming, hiking, and running. Check out my photo gallery to see the fun I’ve had with my own furry friends and pets I’ve previously cared for. I can’t wait to meet, care for, and show some love to your pup! I work part time subbing as a teacher and at a coffee shop. My sub shifts tend to be 7-8 hours long, while my coffee shop ones are on the shorter side. I can provide care to your pet in the mornings and evenings every day and can be there during the day depending on my work schedule. I am reliable, responsible, and caring with all pets. I have three furry friends of my own and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own.
“This was our first time using Rover and it’s been a wonderful experience! We needed someone to take our two pups for daily walks for the week we were away (our house sitter worked all day). Abby was our girl and she did a fantastic job! Before we went away, Abby made time to come over, meet our girls, and see how we do things. So attentive and caring, we were able to enjoy our vacation so much knowing our little ones were getting the attention they needed. The daily photos and updates were awesome - she even gave us some of the best photos we have of our June! We would definitely hire Abby again!”
“Don was amazing with my pup! He gave a great experience of adventure to her and I really loved that. He worked with her while she was with him and I love that also. I highly recommend Don for the care of your pup! My pup is usually apprehensive with men and I was happy she enjoyed her time and stay with Don. He communicated well with me and I appreciated that. Thank you so much Don :)”
About: I have owned pets since a young age and have felt it very rewarding when they enjoy your presence. Luckily I have been liked by most of the animals I come into contact with. I enjoy the company of animals a little more than I do people, and from volunteering and living with a variety of animals I find that when your gentle, loving and there when they need it do you have a friend for life. I am currently attending MSU for art and marketing. I only attend in-person 2 days a week for 4 hours (tuesday and thursday) but I would still be able to commute and assist. Otherwise the anyother days I am free to help you with your sweet babies! We have a backyard at my house that our pets enjoy year round. They are brought on most vacations with us and love being with people. They are fed twice everyday and are smothered with love on a regular basis, some would even say they are spoiled. I have no issues following rules or training methods that (you) the owner has been implementing, and I will play forever but I cant promise who will get tired first. Baths are no issue for me either, I quite enjoy a clean animal after a long say of rolling in the mud.
About: Hi! I am an avid pet lover and grew up with a big floofy dog in my household. I love to go for long walks or run (pending if doggo is capable). I am currently in nursing school so if not in class, I will be home studying and would love to have a companion by my side. I love going for long walks/run a few times a week and if able would love to take the dog along! I have school a few days a week in the morning but otherwise will be free to hang with a pet while studying or to pop in for a quick study break walk! While I do not offer sitting in my own home, I will ensure that everything is how it should while at your house and that the animal is properly cared for.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Leyden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
