“I couldn't be more pleased with Maddison and the exceptional care she provides for my furry friend. She’s incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and with a genuine enthusiasm that my dog absolutely loves. Her attention to detail, from following specific instructions to ensuring my dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime, is unmatched. Her professionalism and kindness have truly made a difference in both our lives. I highly recommend her services to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”


About: Hello Families! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a 20-year-old community college student with a genuine passion for caring for children and animals. I’m transitioning from working in hospital housekeeping into providing reliable, compassionate in-home care for babies, children, dogs, and cats. I have experience caring for a variety of dogs, from playful puppies to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for neighbors while they were traveling, making sure their pets received plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship while their families were away. In addition to pet care, I have hands-on infant-care experience from caring for my nephew since birth. I have been heavily involved in his daily care, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, keeping him on a routine, and providing constant supervision. Caring for him has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for an infant. I also want to be completely transparent with families that I have a 2-year-old toddler who would accompany me during overnight sits. He is calm, well-behaved, and very easygoing. He has his own routine and would not interfere with the care I provide to your children or pets. I would always make sure your family members, pets, home, and routines receive my full attention and respect. My goal is to give families peace of mind by treating their children and pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with the people and animals you love most. I am available 7 days a week, from mornings through overnight care, and I’m happy to work with families who need flexible scheduling. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can help! Warm regards, Aaliyah I am currently looking for a job in the sitting community. I am available upon request. As well as being flexible to fit what’s best. Your fur babies will love my neighborhood. Every corner you’ll see someone with their own. If you animals don’t like others that’s okay because they’re welcome in my house as if they’re my own!

About: Hey Ya'll! My name is Kim, I recently moved to Troutman, NC from Oklahoma! I am originally from the East Coast and have a German Shepherd & Lab Mix. I have lived all over and been through my fair share of dog boarding and know how stressful it can be. I work from home and have been looking to reasons to get out of the house- so I figured, why not help you....because I know how stressful finding a pet sitter can be! I've previously fostered a couple dogs but found that to be a little too emotional towards the end. My schedule is completely flexible and I would love to help give your pets the best care while you are away! I currently work from home so my schedule is completely flexible to fit your needs! I am looking for the extra income due to life these days and I love pets....so it's a win win 😊 I have a fenced in yard and multiple crates so make your pets feel as comfortable as possible!

I work from home so I am able to tend to your pets needs. I also have a 5 year old daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do. I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine.

About: I lived with my 2 pit bulls throughout all of high school. They are a handful and there would be many nights were I would have to take care of them on my own and by doing this I was able to pick up everything you need to know about a dog. When they need to go to the bathroom, how to feed them, how to walk them, playing with them, and bathing them. I was able to pick up all of these skills along with many more from taking care of my dogs back home. There is nothing I haven’t seen with dogs and there’s not a dog I’ve met that I haven’t been able to take care of, I also love all dogs! Right now I’m only talking 2 summer classes online for the next couple of months so I will be very open and have time to take care and provide all the attention in the world to your dog(s). I have a collar and leash I can walk your dog out in and out of the house with. My backyard is not fenced but there is plenty of room for your dog to roam around while I have him leashed. I have a pretty big, open house that he can run around in and do have a crate if needed.

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 Long Island. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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.
