“Elaina is always right on time. She communicates everything about the visit and anything she notices that is different so I always know what is going on with my dog. I know she takes great care of her”
“Ella was great. She was super friendly and attentive during our meet and greet. During the day of her visit visits, she followed instructions super well and gave very detailed updates on her time with my dog, Luka.”
“Matthew was willing to help me out on relatively short notice. I needed help walking my dog over the weekend because of a flared back issue. He was terrific! Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!”
About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.
About: Hi my name is Briana! Your dog will have play time outside if raining then we play inside. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs. I love animals of all sizes. I am easily reachable by text or phone call. I love being outside so your dog will get as much exercise as they need. I go above and beyond to take care of dogs. I provide a lot of love. I am excited to care for your pup and treat them as my own! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Even though I work full-time, caring for animals is something I naturally build into my day. My mornings and evenings are spent feeding, playing, and snuggling with my two cats, so I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine. On my days off and during flexible hours, I have plenty of time to check in on your pets, give them love and attention, and make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. For dogs, that might include walks or backyard play; for cats and small animals, it can be interactive play or cozy companionship. I also respect your home, keeping things neat and making sure your pets are happy and relaxed until you return.
“Celine did an amazing job with our dog, Honey! She was on time, easy to communicate with, and was super sweet with our dog! Would defintely recommend. Thanks, Celine!”
“Jenna’s passion towards loving and caring for all animals was immediately apparent in our meet and greet. She was punctual and reliable, and my dogs seemed to truly enjoy their time with her.”
About: Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 9th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! I am back in Ohio! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). I also do poop clean up in your residential yard for $40 a time- will use your trash or remove from premises for an additional fee. Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $70 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost starts at $80 & up! $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Lake County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $20-25 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, number of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery. If you need your yard picked up after your pup’s poop- I offer that service too—as priced above. I am available EVERY DAY with appointment in advance. I can pretty much schedule anytime pet check-ins, walks, sittings, yard cleanup and transportations. Hope to hear from you soon! I check in at the pets' residence. I can take care of any kind or breed of animal. I have several years experience with different kinds of animals- including reptiles.
“Melissa was an absolute lifesaver for us. We had an unexpected situation come up, and she stepped in on short notice to take care of Reggie, Stella, and Mayhem without hesitation. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands during a stressful time. We could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’ll absolutely be booking with Melissa again and are so grateful for her help when we needed it most. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel did a wonderful job with my two huskies with 19 walks in a week. I needed help with my dogs in a pinch after an urgent back surgery. She sure came through for us. This was our first time using Rover & couldn’t be happier with the service Rachel gave us. She will be our go to dog walker for sure. The dogs & I were always looking forward to seeing her. We’re going to miss her.”
About: I have provided care for many kinds of animals since I was a kid! I grew up caring for dogs, horses, cats, and reptiles, with training experience as well. Friends and family know I love each animal I take care of as my own, and have relied on me for care of any pet! I’ve had dogs as small as a mini dachshund to an english mastiff from ages 6 months until seniority. I am currently taking a rest from the typical 9-5 life. What that means for pet owners, is that their pet’s care is my number one priority throughout the day. I try to stick to a routine they are used to for comfort. I have had pets needing many different types of environments. I can do early morning meds/meals, walks and other enrichment activity’s, and any evening needs! Every animal is special and requires their own care, and I am here to do everything they need for their mental and physical health.
“I am so grateful for Reese stepping in after our previous dog walker left unexpectedly. Reese is sweet, attentive, and made the transition completely seamless. Jameson took to her right away and is already looking forward to many more walks with Reese. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with pets since I was a child. My parents always had Rottweilers and Labs around, later they added cats to the picture as well. I was the one to walk them, look after them when my family went on vacation, and bathed them. I also have looked after other family members pets while they went away as well. I currently am unemployed, so I am available whenever I am needed to do pet care for you. I am very flexible with any necessary accommodations. I have a 1050 sq ft apartment that is shared with my husband and 3 kitties. They usually are in their room or in ours. They have their own room with all their needs met in there so they will not be bothered by any other pet.
About: I love the clients I get to work with as a pet sitter. I love providing stress free and reliable pet care for people when they need the help. It's a big deal to let someone into your home and trust them with the care of your pets. I understand the responsibility and don't take it lightly. I am experienced with puppies and dogs, cats and farm animals, special needs, reactive and senior dogs. I treat others' pets as if they were my own. It brings me a lot of joy to make your pet feel loved, happy and safe. I'm comfortable crating, walking, giving medicine and other special needs. There's nothing I won't do for your pet - its a very important member of your family! I can provide any additional references upon request! Pet sitting fits into my routine perfectly because I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to be with your animal/s as much or as little as you prefer! I care for my clients pets based on their requests, preferences and routines. I am comfortable walking, crating, giving commands, and following each person's instructions for how they want their animals to be cared for.

My dog absolutely loves Annalise! Annalise is super dependable, showing up right on time for every walk. She was consistently prompt with getting Ladybug outside for fresh air and exercise while I’m home recovering from surgery and needed an extra hand with my dog! I also appreciated the report updates and photos to describe the walks they went on. I would definitely recommend her, and I know Ladybug will look forward to seeing her again sometime!

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.
