“I reached out to Alison when I was sick and unable to walk my dog, Ace, and she responded right away. She was kind, friendly, and very reliable throughout the booking. Ace absolutely loved her—every time he came back from a walk, he didn't even want to come back inside! It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. 🐾💕”

If you’re looking for someone compassionate to care for your pets, I would absolutely recommend them.”

About: I've cared for dogs, including mine, for as long as I can remember! In doing so, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, and sometimes even grooming said dogs, of which all owners have said that I did an excellent job! In my transition to college, I have a month where I'll be given all the free time in the world, which makes it the perfect opportunity to give some pet owners their well-deserved free time as well! I have one 45-pound female dog who loves running in our fenced backyard! Additionally, we have a dog park only a few blocks away, giving us even more room to run and play! Whenever we aren't home, we have a nice crate that our dog stays in with peaceful music playing in the background in case she gets anxious!
About: Hi! I’m Ashley! A loving and dependable pet sitter with almost a year of experience and happy client reviews. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which means I’m fully available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I also have open availability on weekends! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I genuinely enjoy spending my free time outdoors and bonding with animals, so being a dog walker is something I look forward to, not just a side gig When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to help their pet feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to stick to feeding schedules, follow any special instructions, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, or calming care depending on their needs. I respect the space I’m in, keep things tidy, and treat each home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Clear communication and trust are super important to me, so I always keep owners updated and in the loop!
“Alexis was amazing! She even came to meet Kash the day before my booking. Very communicative, accommodated my request on really short notice AND on Halloween. She even refilled my candy bowl for me! Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Paige is truly the best dogwalker. Boba absolutely loves her. She’s reliable and flexible even when we need a last minute schedule change. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“The best dog walker I’ve had yet! My pup can be leash reactive and high energy on walks, and Akshay has handled her wonderfully and cares about her unique personality. Always gives great updates during the day so I know she’s being cared for!”

About: I've care for pets my whole life, I have hands-on experience feeding them, playing, walking them, providing companionship, and making sure they feel safe and confortable. While this will be my first experience as a pet caregiver, I'm responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I am a musician and I currently work from home in my own projects so i have plenty of time to dedicate to my pets and my pet sitting. I take extra care in providinig my pets with a safe environment at home, I make sure they know this is their home and can feel at ease and happy. I undestand the importance of ensuring that pets feel confortable and safe.
“Ray has been walking our dog for more than a month now. She is very punctual, communicates very well and takes pictures. She takes care of him like her own. She cleans him up after the walk, gives him a treat and ensure he is pampered a bit. Our dog loves Ray.”
About: I've had experiences with different type of animals and it's been super fun! From having a pet cat, rescuing a wild bird from a national park and help nurturing it back to health, to working with puppies and dogs at a doggy daycare and owning a pet bunny. I'm available Monday-Friday, with flexibility on weekends if we plan and coordinate :) Pls feel free to contact me for more information regarding weekend bookings! In my spacious apartment, your pet would be able to roam freely and comfortably. Being there as an emotional support, I will make sure your pet can stay happy and feel safe inside my home, as well as sending occasional check-ins with the parent :)
“Debra is fantastic. Our little guy is new to the family so she had to deal with us acclimating to him at the same time she did. She keeps me updated on his progress and how her visits go. We're happy to have someone checking on him who treats him like their own!”

Hazel was an exceptional dog walker, and I highly recommend her. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and dependable, giving me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she handled my very difficult dog with remarkable patience and compassion. She took the time to understand my dog's personality and built trust through consistency and care, even when walks were challenging. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog Flash's well-being and always went above and beyond to ensure they were safe, exercised, and comfortable. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who can confidently handle even the most challenging dogs, Hazel is an excellent choice.
I can’t recommend this dog walker highly enough! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. My dogs are always excited to see them and come home happy, well exercised, and relaxed after every walk. If you’re looking for someone compassionate to care for your pets, I would absolutely recommend them.
Gabriel was great! We needed support with a last minute walk and she was able to accommodate. Gracie had an accident due to excitement and Gabriel made sure to clean it up for us while also being really communicative. She sent us pictures on the walk and made sure to return all of Gracie’s things to their original place. Your pup is in great hands!

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 Linden. 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.
