“I can’t say enough good things about Edward! He went above and beyond in caring for my dog, Luna. I initially hired him just for walks, but he offered to do a meet and greet first to get to know her — something I really appreciated. During our meeting, I learned that he’s also a dog behaviorist, and it was incredible to watch him interact with Luna. His calm, confident energy immediately put her at ease. I’ve seen Edward around the neighborhood before, and his dogs always look so happy, relaxed, and well-behaved — now I understand why! He even took extra time to show my mom how to be more assertive with Luna, and I swear she turned into a dog whisperer after just a short session with him. Edward truly cares about the dogs he works with and goes the extra mile to make sure they (and their humans) are comfortable and confident. I highly, highly recommend him — he’s an amazing person and an exceptional dog walker and trainer.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

About: I am a caring pet owner who is very attuned to animals' needs and wants. After working at a dog boarding center I gained skills with dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm currently free to work seven days per week and flexible around which hours so I think I will be the best fit for your pets around the clock. I am available for dog walking, boarding, drop in visits, and doggie daycare. I have a friendly, playful 10 year old dog named Quincy who I walk and feed in the evening, and give a weekly bath to. We also have two cats who are mostly outside cats but they both come in during the night. We have a lagoon in the backyard and plenty of sidewalks to walk near by.

About: Hi there, I’m Chris! I’ve had some kind of pet in my life ever since I was little, from cats to dogs to aquatic acquaintances! I currently have two cats that bring me so much happiness. I’ve been my friend’s and family’s go to pet sitter for many years due to my obvious love of pets and animals. I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs and of all ages, as well as mixed species pet families. I establish bonds with the animals I care for which can sometimes make it hard to say goodbye. I adore puppies due to their excitable nature and high energy! Cats have a special place in my heart because of the memories I share with the cats I’ve had but if you were to ask me if I was a cat or dog person; I’d say, “Why can’t you be both?” LGBTQIA+ friendly I graduated from college with a degree in anthropology and am now back in my hometown working a part-time contract job. My work schedule is very flexible so with enough time’s notice I can work any request into it. I am typically free to feed and walk pets in the morning and evening, as typical schedules go. Please let me know if there are any special requests or needs for your animal! I understand the importance of an animals happiness and mental state. I am very much used to taking care of pets in other’s houses and will follow the rules of the house perfectly. I have house sat in Kosher households before so I am familiar with the importance of following set rules. I am okay with pets that sleep on the bed with the owner or having to crate up a pet for the night. I am a private person and often keep to myself; I don’t cause a ruckus! I keep things nice and tidy just like the saying goes, “a place for everything and an everything in its place.”

“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

About: My mother raised me alongside a puppy in an area dense with wildlife. Along with our growing dog, we often had rodents, birds, or stray cats to take care of. In high school I took care of mice, and owned two sets of rats. The dog I was raised with passed at age 20, and I am experienced in taking care of senior pup needs. I'm currently working part time, and my ideal days to hang out with your pets are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be the case until college starts again in the fall. I have a fenced in home as well as lots of access to pet supplies. I love all parts of animal care, whether it be active play or just snuggling on the couch. Having a senior dog, I am also experienced in handling minor medical situations.

About: I spend time with my friend's dogs just for fun. I have been taking care of animals most of my life. Animals inherently trust me, and I just completely adore them. I am active, love running with dogs, love playing with them, and love cuddling them. I worked on a farm as well for a year, and took care of 60 animals, so I am used to working hard for animals, and thoroughly enjoy it! I have not met a dog I didn't like, and I am good with all different breeds and sizes. I love the dog park, it is a slice of heaven for me, and I would spend every day there if I was able to. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

Jaimi and her daughter were amazing with my two dogs, Bumi and Lily. They took them on 30-minute walks to a dog play area, spent time playing with them, and even stayed longer to make sure both dogs were fully walked and able to use the bathroom. Communication was great throughout, and they were incredibly kind and attentive. Bumi and Lily were genuinely excited to see both Jaimi and her daughter, which says a lot. I’ll absolutely be booking them again for dog walking and pet care

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.
