About: As a dog trainer, I provide complimentary training in leash manners for the first 2 walks. For drop-ins, I bring snuffle mats, food puzzles, and other enrichment activities so your dog gets mental challenges as well as play. This tires them out! I am a part-time consultant with a flexible schedule. I have a great deal of flexibility after 11:00 a.m. on most days, including weekends and holidays. As dog trainer, I use my knowledge of dog behavior to determine the best way to get to know your dog. I let the dog take the lead and engage them in their favorite activities. I also bring puzzle toys for dogs who enjoy that kind of challenge, and offer five minutes of complimentary training at each visit. I provide complimentary training in leash manners for the first two walks.
“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own (apartment living), I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s going for walks, checking in on them, providing companionship, sticking to feeding schedules, or giving plenty of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m a cat lover as well, with one of my own, and would love to check in on yours while you’re away! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to make every walk or check in safe, fun, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home most days, which gives me the flexibility to fit dog walks or pet check ins into my day without feeling rushed. My schedule allows me to be available for morning and midday walks, making it easy to provide reliable care when your pet needs it most. I enjoy getting outside throughout the day, so spending that time walking and caring for your pet is something I genuinely look forward to. Since I’m offering dog walking services and pet check ins, my focus is on providing safe, enjoyable walks and stress free check ins. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and positive reinforcement while following any specific instructions you provide. At home, I care for my own cat, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I know that every pet is unique, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”

“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
“Rachel is an amazing person to work with! She really cares about my Ellie's welfare and happiness on her visits. Rachel is also super quick with her responses to communication. Couldn't recommend her enough :)”
“Gabrielle has been a blessing to our new family member, Lupin, and to us, since she has been providing a daily mid-day walk and something for Lupin to look forward to now that we are all back to work. 🐾🐾”
“Amber came over and spent some time with the dogs, we thought a walk would be good, but the rain never stopped and our dogs don’t love walking in the rain… wanted her to come and see the ups before she stays with them. Worked out great!”

Theo has been an amazing walker with my Newfoundland Tiny! He’s incredibly communicative and on time for every walk. On days when Tiny wasn’t feeling up to a long walk, Theo found ways to get him moving in the backyard and brought him back happy and ready to chill out.
Karen was fantastic! She was always punctual, dependable, and so patient with my anxious senior dog. She took the time to earn his trust and never rushed him, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care and appreciated the updates along the way. I would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker.
Sara was an absolute godsend, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our animals adored her from the very beginning. She is patient, kind, easygoing, calming, and exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your beloved pets. One of our dogs, Lori, came from an extreme hoarding situation where she lived surrounded by floor-to-ceiling boxes with only a small path to move around. As a result, she struggles with anxiety and can become very vocal, howling, barking, and practically screaming when she’s excited or overwhelmed. I was honestly mortified and worried it would be too much for someone to handle. Sara never once made me feel judged or embarrassed. She continually reassured me that it was no problem and handled Lori with incredible patience, compassion, and understanding. Sara helped me more than she knows this week. Knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. By the end of her stay, it was clear how much the dogs loved her. On their final walk together, our Golden Retriever, Tully, was absolutely thrilled to see her, and that told me everything I needed to know. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, gentle, reliable, and genuinely gifted with animals, Sara is the person you want. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!
I recently moved here from the west coast for work and quickly realized i needed help looking after my pup while i was away during the daytime. Nicole quickly arranged a meet and got my dog, spits, on her schedule. She has excellent animal skills and has been my saving grace. I highly recommend her for your pets needs.

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 Media. 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.
