About: Georgia and I have been taking care of pets since we were young children. We have both dogs and cats. Our experience ranges from puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and older cats. We have open availability and are willing to be flexible. Whether your pet is extremely friendly, or more skittish, we are excited to meet them! We are both currently part time in school, with very flexible schedules. I am in school Monday and Wednesday, while Georgia is in school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This makes us available 7 days a week! We are willing to follow any schedule your furry friend needs! Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or crate training, we got it. We monitor pets with care and are very open with constant communication and daily photos of your pets .
“Heather is wonderful! She took great care of our dog Georgia when we were out of town. Heather was prompt and shared lots of photos. I knew Georgia was in great hands which was very reassuring.”
“Alicia is a diligent and professional Pet Caregiver. She walked my dog every morning while I was traveling out of the country for 20 days. She was always punctual and kept me informed each day about how much she and Toffee had walked along with pictures! She sent me constant reminders on other matters related to my pet! I highly recommend her services!”
“Kayleigh is extremely attentive to my little DIVA! She sent great photos of my little cherub and let ne know the details of her visit , which makes all the difference in the world!”
About: Hi, I’m Esteysi! I’m a bioengineer working in cancer medicine, where I have the privilege of contributing to treatments and innovations that help improve patients’ lives. Science and healthcare are a big part of who I am, and I’m passionate about making a difference through my work. At home, life is busy, fun, and full of love. I live with my wonderful wife, our two amazing sons, our playful pup Jack, and our cat Meeko, who definitely keeps things interesting! As a family, we love spending time together, making memories, and caring for our animals, who are very much part of the family. Whether we’re enjoying outdoor adventures, relaxing at home, or simply sharing everyday moments, we value kindness, laughter, and the connections we build with the people and pets we love.
“Abbey was great with our senior Lab who needs patience and TLC. She kept us well informed so that we knew Tasha was OK while we were away for a few days.I would trust her with Tasha anytime.”
About: Pet owner, pet lover! I have been sitting for friends and family since I was a teen. I also grew up around large dogs. I adopted a staffy mix in 2014 and we had 9 great years together before she passed. I’m not ready to adopt again, so until then, I’d like to help others. I’ve also had a few cats in the past and currently have 2! They are both tolerant of dogs and if they are uncomfortable, they will typically leave the room. My friends will bring their dogs when they visit me and my cats do well. I don’t have a yard per se but there is a lot of open space for frequent walks/potty breaks. My apartment complex is very pet-friendly. I am on the 2nd floor, so there are 2 sets of steps that may make it hard for older dogs. I often do overnights and stay with pets in their own home to maximize their comfort and keep their routines intact. I’m flexible based on your individual needs. One of my interests is in animal behavior. I have read many books (my favorites are from Patricia B. McConnell) My philosophy is we are training everyday. Consistency is important to me and for them, so I will ask many questions during the meet and greet stage to understand their needs and know how to best support you both. I look forward to meeting you both! My schedule is determined by the pets in my care and their schedules. I am currently freelance with WFH tasks and gig work and schedule my other jobs around my pet care calendar. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with lots of open space to walk. With me, your pup will have 24/7 one-on-one attention. They are allowed on the furniture and will always be supervised. I also have room to set up a crate if they are crate-trained but most of the time they will play and hangout where I am. I have 2 cats that do well with dogs. The cat food is raised off the floor and litter boxes are located in the main living space and are scooped immediately.
About: I am in my 10th year of working as a dog walker & pet sitter for small local companies, but I am new to Rover. I’m certified in first aid and CPR for dogs and cats. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’m passionate about rescue animals. In addition to my own adopted pets, I’ve fostered dogs and kittens and am involved as a volunteer in transporting adoptable dogs between rescues. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with loving care, exercise, & companionship. My full time job as a nurse is on night shift and my schedule varies, so check my calendar! My availability is mostly during the day. I am happy to provide care for your pet to comply with your requests and their preferences. If they’re energetic and like to be active with fast paced walks, great! If they’d rather a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood and check out the smells, that’s fine with me! They like to play fetch in the backyard or just relax with snuggles on the couch? I’ve got it.
About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I feel the same when it comes to my own pets. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, leisurely sniff sessions, or just a friendly companion, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I am currently a stay at home mom with teenagers so I have a fairly open schedule. On hot days I try to get walks in as early as possible for the comfort of the dog. Each pet will get love before and after walks with treats if allowed. I always follow pet owner instructions and do not deviate. I can also give meds as instructed. Please let me know if you have a special needs dog or different situation. I can accommodate almost anything. Please let me know.
About: 🐾 🐾 Rates 🐾 🐾 I am happy to travel but may need to add a mileage fee for bookings outside of my 15 minute radius. All rates are negotiable. *Boarding: I only host 1 family's pets at a time. This provides a safer environment for your pet and an "at home" feel with plenty of attention, especially for reactive or aging dogs. I don't use crates or kennels but if you want to bring yours along that is fine, I also have 1 medium sized crate on hand if needed. I have a very clean home and welcome pets to feel comfortable if they would like to snooze on the sofas, bed, and we have a secure fenced in yard, but I do not leave dogs unattended in the yard. I usually take my dog to the local dog parks and nature trails and would bring yours along too. 🐾 🐾 Basic Info 🐾 🐾 I am an EMT, certified in Pet CPR + First Aid. For the past 25 years, I have been an animal caretaker. My favorite part is getting to know all of the different breeds and personalities. Your pets will be treated with love, and be as comfortable in my home as yours. I always send lots of photos at the end of each day. 🐾 🐾 My daily schedule 🐾 🐾 I work from home as a university professor. My position is remote, so I am able to work anywhere with a wifi connection. I work for rover occasionally and my schedule is typically super organized and flexible. We do at least 2 active hours per day- and we try to squeeze in as many hikes as possible. If they are up for it, I will take them on a short jog every day too.
“Vanessa has a deep love for animals and it shows. She arrived promptly for Remy’s first walk and he was super excited to see her. She kept us updated with photos and videos and we’re excited to have her watch over Remy for a daycare session this weekend.”
“Krista was so great with Frankie! It was our first time using Rover and we have used her 3 times already. Our pup has a lot of energy and loves going for her walks and she looks so happy in the pictures we get. Would highly recommend.”
About: Hi everyone, I grew up with dogs my whole life big/small and love meeting new dogs! I am pretty flexible and would love to help out when needed! I have a pretty flexible schedule so just reach out and I can make some time to accommodate you/your pet whether it be a walk/overnight stay, etc. I live in a great neighborhood with a large lawn area as well as paths to go on walks with the pets so they are able to go to the bathroom. I also have a very clean home making it a safe place for the pets.

Amy came over earlier in the week to meet Ornn and I. Ornn quickly warmed up to her so I knolew it was going to be a good fit. She was prompt to pick Ornn up for his walks, and her notes let me know exactly what he was up to. I also loved getting the pictures to know he enjoyed his walk and then when he was back home and comfy.

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

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 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 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.
