Dog Walking • Mar 14, 2026

Melissa was great with Rosie this week. She was always on time, easy to communicate with, and really sweet with Rosie. You can tell she loves dogs. I felt comfortable knowing Rosie was in good hands, and Rosie always seemed happy after her walks. Really appreciate her help.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a apartment and I could take pets out for a walk and relax at home, etc. I have a daughter and she loves to play with puppies. She's so sweet and shy too.

A typical day

Walks, nice long walks in parks or trails or other pleasant places are always appreciated. Games, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on your lap, being scratched and stroked

Let me know before choosing a dog, take time to research the breed, age, and history of the dog you're considering and inquire about the pet's behavior, preferences, and health. Understand their feeding habits, favorite toys, and any specific needs. Clear communication with pet owners helps tailor your care to the individual needs of pets
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
