“Heather was absolutely amazing with our sweet but skittish dog! She took very great care of her and made sure she got plenty of sniffs in! Heather also took my last minute booking which was incredible! We will definitely be rebooking!!”
About: For the last 5 years, I've been volunteering care for a herd of goats on Gillie's Creek Park. I am also the primary farm sitter for several friends' homesteads and a frequent pet sitter for friends and acquaintances. I have a broad range of experience: handling elderly animal care, newborn feeding/monitoring, pet anxiety, unique medication/feeding schedules, and general care for most farm/domesticated animals. I have a deep love for animals and their welfare with a desire to assist you and your pet in any way possible. I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Typically not away from home for more than 3 hours at a time during marked available hours. My schedule can be adjustable if coordinating in advance. If caring in your home, I ensure that all items are back where they were originally left and that all feeding bowls and areas accessed are cleaned and organized. My home has a fenced-in yard, plenty of plants, natural lighting, and no other pets to contend for attention or food.
“Kacey was great! Professional, responsible, and highly communicative. Most importantly, the dogs immediately loved her! Would definitely hire again.”
“Emily was able to accept a last minute booking due to a small emergency. She communicated very clearly with me and even went so far as to clean up a mess my dog had made at home. Very professional, highly recommend!”
About: As a child, I had a small dog named Nike! She was the cutest little Shih Tzu. Having her at a young age taught me responsibility first and foremost, but it also taught me how to appreciate and be patient with animals. I have fond memories of walking her around the neighborhood, being sure she had food and plenty of water in her bowls, and running around with her outside! She also got ENDLESS cuddle time. She was my first best friend, and although she’s not here with me in my adult years, I’ve come to love and value ALL animals, from playful cats, to everyday animals like squirrels and birds, lol. I’m a college student, graduating in the fall next year, and I have many breaks where I’m home. When home, I am fully available everyday, anytime to care for pets! I follow instructions EXACTLY as they’re given to me. Special instructions? No problem! Dinner time at 6? Done and done. I’ll be sure your fur baby has plenty of play time and cuddles as well! Rest assured knowing they’re in good hands!
“Natalie was great! Made leaving my giant breed puppy super easy when I had a last minute family emergency. Punctual, good communication, asked good questions :)”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
“Maria and Luis were wonderful with Murphy! They were communicative and easy going. I was nervous, as this was my first time having Murphy walked by a stranger, but feel so comfortable leaving her in their care!!”
“I could not recommend Stacey enough! She is so responsive and accommodating. I feel comfortable anytime I have her walk my dog, Sadie. Sadie also loves when Stacey comes to walk her which gives me a lot of peace knowing she is comfortable while I am out of the house!”
“Conrad stepped in at our late notice and took fantastic care of our two dogs! They were staying with a sitter who could not walk them, and Conrad came to the rescue with walking them for a full hour every day, reliably and on-time! He communicates really well, is really responsible, and clearly has experience with dogs. One of my dogs is also dog-reactive, and Conrad knew just how to manage any reactive signs on walks and keeps distance from other animals. He listens well to instructions and is just a great dude. I’m happily looking to making him our regular go-to pet sitter and walker whenever we need support!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.

I offer a flexible and stress-free experience for both you and your dog, with plenty of attention, exercise, and fun! Your pup’s comfort and happiness are my top priority.

I am excited an eager to help out taking care of your furry friends and with 18 years of having pets and three years of experience watching dogs for friends I am willing and able to do what it takes to give your dog a quality experience and help out with whatever is needed. I am a teacher in Chesterfield County so I can be available all day on weekends, Saturday and Sunday, and after 4 PM on week days. I have two dogs, one is a beagle/dachshund mix that is 3 years old and a 10 month smaller sized lab/hound mix that are both under 30 pounds and live in a two floor condo with no yard.

About: My daughter and I have been doing Rover together for years. This summer, she is home from school at UVA and excited to help out with additional tasks like dog walking and house sitting! We have both had dogs our entire lives, all sizes and life stages. We began Rover in 2019 after losing our 10 yr old black lab to diabetes, looking to keep our home lively. We are both excited to meet your pets and help out! I work from home and will be with your best friend all day long. I am up early for my morning walk and would love the company of your dog! I live in a great dog friendly community, we have lots of great green space and multiple dog parks within walking distance! Would happily spend the day with your dog at the dog park if that is a good place for them.
“We couldn’t recommend Fran enough! She was extremely prompt and communicative throughout the entire process and our pup loved being walked by her. We also really appreciated the photos/videos of each walk and the thorough recaps afterward. When we need dog services again we won’t hesitate to reach out because we know our pup is in good hands. Thanks Fran!”
About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.
“I am travel nurse and it can be hard to find consistent, reliable dog walking and Kayley was exactly that. She was so available and never had any issues. She is communicative and take care of your dog like they they are her own. My dog loved her. I would absolutely recommend Kayley.”

Ivana is an absolute delight and a spark of energy in the morning haha! Very warm, friendly, outgoing - my two big dogs adored right away. She’s very comfortable and confident with them. She has a lot of experience with all kinds of animals (volunteering at shelters, 10+ years, many varieties of animals) and she definitely is passionate about doing this / does it with authenticity. she’s incredibly professional, always on time, and wonderfully communicative. Adored her and def booking again! Highly recommend!
I could not recommend Stacey enough! She is so responsive and accommodating. I feel comfortable anytime I have her walk my dog, Sadie. Sadie also loves when Stacey comes to walk her which gives me a lot of peace knowing she is comfortable while I am out of the house!
Bethany was absolutely wonderful with my two big guys and has been great with my scheduling and time changes. She handled their size and energy with ease and clear competence; its a relief to know they’re in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again - she has been incredibly communicative, flexible, reliable, and consistent, and I have been very appreciative of her efforts and willingness to go above and beyond!
Sammy is the absolute best! This is the first time we have utilized a dog walking app for our sweet boy and she made us as well as him feel comfortable the entire time. We booked last minute and she was more than happy to accommodate us. We truly could not have asked for a better experience!
We've used Rover a few times previously and Bridgette was the best yet! She was so quick to respond and very flexible with our schedule (even being last minute). Our pup can be a bit vocal and hard to warm up to strangers but he loved Bridgette from the get go and she kept up with his active lifestyle! 11/10 will be reaching out again

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 Lower Rocketts. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lower Rocketts.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lower Rocketts. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
