“April was amazing with our pups. Each day our fur babies looked forward to seeing her. She walked them, played with them and made sure that had everything they needed until she returned again.”
About: Hi ! Welcome to my page! (Meet and greet required before first booking) Im all about transparency and communication! Lot of pictures and updates will be sent! You can call for video as often as you'd like! I don't crate any animals unless it is requested. The puppies have access to the whole house including beds and couches. I respect what you do with your babies at home and I'll do my best to keep the consistency! I goto school in the evenings but I am home the rest of the day. I live a very active lifestyle and your pups will join us in hiking, walks, fetch, park and out door restaurants! Kiddy pool is available if your dog enjoy the water. We have a very high privacy fence and a dog door that can be utilized under supervision. You will get ton of pictures and updates and video calls are welcome! I take safety very seriously and we have cameras set up. Gates are set up around front door for safety. We have a camera in the home as well. All the dogs are assessed before being accepted.
“Ashley has been fantastic over 3 different trips in 6 weeks I had planned. I was comforted knowing my fur babies were in good hands. She was very reliable and always on time (my dogs know that schedule well)!! :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
“Connor was very responsive, professional, and attentive to detail. He took care of my dog, respected my home, and was good about being on time and taking photos. I was able to leave feeling comfortable, and I would recommend Connor to others confidently.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have been the primary caretaker for my multiple dogs my entire adult life. We currently have a dog who requires regular medication and health attention. I often care for my neighbors' dogs in their homes while they are away. I love to take my own dogs for walks and would be happy to do the same for yours! Currently, I'm off work for the summer and have ample availability. I can work my schedule around the needs of your animals. Excited to help! I like to provide all requested services for the animals while their owners are away, but I also like to leave their home the way they left it. I'm happy to give medicine at the appropriate times and clean up any accidents that may be left behind by the animal.
About: Trusted by friends and family as their go-to pet sitter, I provide dependable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I treat every pet with the same love and attention as my own, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Their well-being will always be my top priority! I firmly believe that dogs thrive with regular exercise, socialization, and consistent interaction with both people and other animals. I always tailor my care to the service you book, but my goal is the same every time! Happy, safe, and well-cared-for pets. For drop-ins, I stick to your pet’s normal routine with feedings, potty breaks, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love (plus photo updates for you!). For dog walks, I provide safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level and reinforce good leash habits. For house sitting, I keep your pet comfortable in their own home by following their regular schedule and giving them plenty of companionship and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since childhood on a farm and in home. I love spending time caring for and spending time outside with them. I am a stay at home mom that likes to stay busy. I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. We part time home school so by hiring us, my kiddos get the experience of working along side me to care for and love your fur babies as a business experience. We have a fully fenced back yard with a doggy door into the backyard. We are an animal friendly home with cats and a bearded dragon. We also are a kid friendly home with three kids under the age of 9.
About: I’ve had a chihuahua since I was a teenager. She’s just passed away in 2025 at the age of 18! She was truly my soul dog! Now, I have 2 cats, Clover (a Siamese) and Ash (a tuxedo). I love being their mom! I’m a careful pet owner (AKA I worry a LOT), so I will care for your babies the same that I do for my own! I’m currently looking for my next corporate role, so I’m available as often as you need me to check on your babies while you’re away! I have a fenced yard! I also am over-protective, so you can bet I will be overly cautious with your babies! I will treat them as if they were my own!
About: I have a 8 yr old bichon myself whom I have trained to be an esa. I also have a five-year-old toy poodle mix who is also an ESA. I am the go to person to dog sit for my friends and family. I am very patient and kind and sill give you furry family member all the love they need. I have experience with dogs who need a little extra help in the health department and who are a little bit older. I will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the fur babies. I am gone for about eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday. However, I work very close to home so I can run home to do Potty breaks if need be. Both of my dogs are very different personality wise. Loki loves to play and he’s a very curious dog. He likes to interact with other dogs as well. He may be eight years old, but you would think that he’s still a puppy with the amount of energy he has but he’s not wanting to play. He’s wanting to watch TV and cuddle as for Apollo. He’s very laid-back and chill. He likes to just sleep and play by himself, but he will play with other others. He does have a condition with his eyes where he does not produce the correct amount of tears so I do administer a daily medication for him. I do have a small yard with a doggie door so they have access to outside all day.

“Ashley is amazing! We were in town for my brother’s wedding and I hired Ashely to walk and feed my dog, Leo, while we were very busy with the festivities. She was so accommodating and flexible, and she took great care of Leo. I will definitely use Ashely again when we are back in town☺️”

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 Melissa. 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.
