About: hello! my name is Carrington. I'm 28 years old. I have a 5 year old husky mix named Shadow. I love animals and always have had them growing up. As a little girl when I lived in Michigan, I used to walk the neighbor's dogs. I even babysat my friend's dog and her puppies while on vacation because she only liked me and allowed me and her family near her and the puppies. I love playing at the dog park with my dog, training, going for walks, and just overall spending time with dogs. Honestly, I spend more time with my dog than most people. if you are interested in me walking your dog or taking care of your dog please message me! I hope you have a great day :) I am currently not working and going to school full time (online zoom classes) so I am available usually anytime :) my classes are on Tuesday’s and Thursday from 6pm-7pm I will make sure to keep your house the way it was, if not better. If I am staying at your house I will make sure to clean up after myself and your dog if there is a mess.
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Cayli is great! She came over a couple times for a visit so my skittish pup could warm up to her before walking her. That helped my pup tremendously. She does great updates and I hope to have her walk my pups again.”
About: Hi, I'm Madison, a certified dog trainer with 5 years of professional experience and nearly 15 years of living with and loving dogs of my own. 🐾 My walks aren't typical walks. Every walk is a 60-minute Walk & Train session. I stop by midday (you don't need to be home), take your pup out for a full hour, and turn the walk into real training based on what your dog needs: loose-leash walking, jumping, impulse control, manners, reactivity, or building confidence. Your dog gets exercise, mental stimulation, and professional training all in one visit, and I'll send you a quick update after each session on what we worked on. What sets me apart is simple: I understand how dogs actually think, learn, and communicate, so your pup stays calm, safe, and genuinely happy in my care. I specialize in puppies, obedience, and behavior, and I have a real soft spot for anxious or reactive dogs who need a patient, steady hand. Perfect for busy professionals and families who want a better-behaved dog without having to fit training into their own schedule. I'll treat your pup exactly like my own! Dog training is my full-time work, so I'm around dogs every single day of the week. That means I have consistent weekly availability, typically from late morning through the late afternoon and into the evening. Because caring for dogs is already my daily routine, your pup fits right in and gets my full attention, along with the same calm, structured care I give every dog I work with. Because I offer walks and training, most of my care happens in your home and neighborhood, and I treat both with total respect. Safety always comes first. I follow whatever routine and instructions you give me, so if that means leashed walks, that's exactly what happens, and if it means letting your dog run around in a secure yard, that's what I'll do. I stay fully present and vigilant the entire time, always proactive rather than reactive, so I can catch and prevent anything before it becomes a problem. I'm used to working with dogs, I have great handling skills, and I'll always communicate, send updates, and make sure your dog and your home are exactly how I left them, if not in even better shape. My goal is simple: a calm, safe, happy dog, and a worry-free you.
“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from tarantulas and fish to horses, donkeys, and just about everything in between!

I have extensive experience working with puppies, senior pets, and reactive dogs. I'm comfortable training puppies by reinforcing good habits and routines, administering oral and topical medications, and providing the extra patience and attention that senior pets need. I'm also known for my ability to build trust with reactive, anxious, or shy animals by moving at their pace and creating a calm, low-stress environment. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced, capable hands.

About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.

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 Linwood. 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 .
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.
