“Charles was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time using Rover, and he made me feel very comfortable. He was also highly communicative, flexible, and clearly LOVES dogs. I would highly recommend him!”
About: I work at a doggie daycare and boarding place. I have experience with reactive dogs, I know how to administer medications like: eye drops, pills, supplements, sprays, (not injections but I can learn). I have experience with meals that have multiple components. I have no problem with multiple dogs. I tend to feed and take out ten to fifteen dogs in the morning at work. I work four days a week at a doggie daycare and boarding place. Thursday to Sunday. 6am to 3pm. But I’m typically up at 4:30am. I have an hour break from 11am-12pm. I would be gone about five hours in the mornings but after work i have nothing. On Tuesday I have a standing class from 9-11am and an appointment from 2-3pm. I really like to build trust and understanding with my animals. They each have their own unique personalities and you have to adapt to them. It would be the same with my clients. I have taken care of horses before and you can probably imagine how unpredictable they can be sometimes. Working at my job, I have to have a real eye for stressors. They play and groups and any misbehavior can lead to a fight so I have to be on top of it.
“Hannah was extremely valuable as a last minute reservation for dog walking! She communicated very well and treated our pups with all the attention and love. Would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: NOTE: To help with any confusion, our older reviews are from prior to our move west :) Hello! We are a family of hikers, skiiers, climbers, campers, and paddlers. We love Montana because we love to be outside. For us, our girl comes everywhere she can, and we love when that extends to the pups in our care. We live in a great area for exploring, running, and sniffing. We love taking our dogs (any dog in our life!) for hikes and adventures, or working on training sessions. I practice positive reinforcement training, and love connecting with a happy pup and building confidence through games and creative training. Our home has a fenced-in yard for quick and safe potty breaks, and we're close to multiple trailheads and off-leash dog parks (which we visit daily!). I have experience with elderly dogs as well as pups, and can easily adjust care and play for their needs or limitations. I am comfortable administering meds, as well as giving the occasional "butt bath" if necessary (isn't dog parenting fun?). There are no other animals in our home, and plenty of belly rubs to go around. If you have any questions or specific concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out! I primarily work from home and have a flexible schedule, so breaking to take advantage of a sunny clear afternoon, or a game of tug or fetch in the yard, is never a big issue. Being a shepherd, Zoey thrives on both exercise AND engagement, so frequent interaction and play breaks are normal in our home. We have a small, tall, securely fenced yard for quick potty breaks. We also do not live on a major road with big or scary sounds, for parents of anxious pups. We allow pets on any furniture they wish, but are also happy to enforce your family's training while they are in our home. There are no children or other animals in the home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 14 years old. My main experience in home has been with small/medium sized breeds as I have always lived in an apartment. However, I have dog sat larger breeds for my neighbors and a few friends before as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter called NKLA with best friends society. Here I worked with cats and dogs. I cleaned kennels, socialized with animals to prepare them for adoption, and walked multiple dogs (mainly pitbull breeds). I have owned my own dog for the last 2.5 years who is a medium sized chihuahua/pitbull mix named Athena. She’s on a routine feeding schedule and is walked every 4-6 hours, last time being at 10pm. I have experience with bathing dogs but only have a tub at this current apartment. No grooming experience. I am also comfortable administering medications as my pup takes her own! I have also worked in small animal veterinary medicine. Currently work nights at MSU so I’m available anytime before 4pm. Also have Fridays and Saturdays off but tend to work our football games on occasion! I update my availability frequently once I know I’m out of town as well. I currently have a fenced in back-yard along with a very spacious home with an additional dog bed and a medium sized kennel as needed. My dog is super friendly minus feeding times which would be separated. I like to make sure at least a 30 minute walk twice a day is given & at least an hour overall of playtime. Especially for more energetic breeds!

About: I have worked with children and animals since I was old enough to handle the responsibility.

I currently volunteer at Heart of the Valley animal shelter in Belgrade, MT offering enrichment, walks, and sleepovers to pups that need some extra love. I am extremely reliable and timely. I treat others loved ones as my own. I don’t have any allergies to pet hair or dander. I have regular clients through referrals and am looking to add a few to my roster. I love watching all types of animals! I only watch well socialized, nonreactive pups. I work for myself and make my own schedule but also work a part time job at the airport. I have a lot of flexibility and love spending time with animals and being outdoors. My dogs are very friendly and love to play. I am very active. If you request house sitting I can’t be there 24/7. I enjoy hiking everyday and hope your dogs can come with me. I understand some folks want their dogs to stay at their home. I just want to share I will still need to be gone parts of the day taking care of my dogs as well as other daily life tasks and my part time job. I prefer boarding at my home overall but can accommodate house sitting. I live in downtown Belgrade with my husband. We have a large fenced in yard at .4 acres and a doggie door. We have three wonderful dogs; a mini Aussie, a golden retriever pit lab mix, and a lab pointer mix. I have a separate, personal, insurance plan for pet daycare & boarding, with expanded coverage for client pets.

About: Hi! I’m Madyson, a nursing student and lifelong animal lover with several years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, and clients. I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and administering medications, including diabetic care for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and always do my best to stick to each pet’s normal routine so they feel at home. My goal is to provide safe, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their My goal is to provide safe, reliable care and give you, the pet parents, peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. as I am home for the summer, from college, I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I have full availability during the week, as well as most Saturdays, and Sundays after in the afternoon/evening. I value reliability and clear communication when scheduling, and I do my best to be consistent and dependable for both pets and owners. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that many pets need time to adjust to new people, so I always move at their pace and avoid rushing introductions. I take a patient, respectful approach when entering a home and interacting with pets, allowing them to build trust naturally. Once they feel comfortable, I focus on providing attentive care, companionship, and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs during walks, breaks, and daily care.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 15 and have loved every minute! I spent a year working for Telluride Humane Society in Telluride CO where I got to socialize rescue animals and get them acclimated to life in a home. I have experience caring for senior dogs with mobility issues as well as developing and executing a plan to get over weight dogs healthy again. I took a break from Rover during my undergrad to focus more on my studies, but as a graduate student at MSU I have a fairly flexible schedule and am excited to start taking care of pets again! I am currently a graduate student at MSU with a fairly consistent but open schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have class until 1pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are entirely set aside for my personal research which means that I am on my own schedule and have more flexibility to help! I love an affectionate pet and am happy to give them plenty of love and attention! Though, I also understand that some of them prefer to keep to themselves especially around a new person. I believe I know how to read their body language and figure out where to go from there. I would love to be able to take care of pets at my own home, but our homeowners don’t allow it so I would mainly have to do house visits (which I think is more comfortable for the pet anyway).
About: Growing up we had 3 dogs, chickens, cats and goats. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Dogs are the best and help me get outside, I love to run and go on long hikes, and would love to be able to take care of your pup while you are away. I work during the week tue-Thur & have weekends free so I have time to give the pups walks morning and night and weekends are free for big adventures. As a house sitter I plan to care for peoples space & their animals. Making sure the dogs are fed, exercised and getting lots of affection
About: I’ve been around pets since I was younger and grew up with all sorts of animals. I love them so much and I love to take care of them! My schedule is very flexible so I am able to care for pets any time of day! I usually work later in the pm but it’s not usually an issue because I don’t work very often! I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routines. This includes feeding, walks, litter or yard cleanup, playtime, companionship, and administering medication if needed. I also provide updates with photos and notes so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manhattan
She was extremely helpful. Even gave us recommendations for our trip and stopped to meet us before we left to explore on our first day. She had put 11 month old lab 2 1 hour sessions a day. He played, got walked and snuggled and even worked on his training every time she came. She responded quickly. Was very kind and wish we could take her home to Wisconsin for when we need a dog sitter there!

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 Manhattan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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

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.

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.
