About: I've been taking care of all types of animals for several years. Including snakes, lizards, cats dogs, and even a tarantula. I've provided exercise, care and the same love I have for my animals at home. I care daily for my own two cats, and work part time as a pet/ house sitter. Please check with me for my upcoming availability. I can rearrange my schedule to suit your needs. I will take care of your animal's needs with attention and care. Whether that means following a special meal plan, going on ten walks a day, or anything else they require. I’m happy to provide references from past clients. If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or text me anytime. My phone is always open to you.
About: As of recent, I no longer have any pets of my own full-time and will enjoy getting to spend time with yours! I have had pets almost all of my life, and always more than one at a time. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, small indoor pets, and birds. I also provide care for chickens, and feeding care for horses, goats, and sheep. For the past 8 years I have done overnight, extended stay pet sitting, drop in care, and boarding in my home for dogs or small animals who come with their home (for example guinea pigs). I can also provide transportation and care for animals attending special occasions or wanted as a part of photos (for example at a wedding). I have experience giving both oral and injected medications to dogs and cats. I work full time 8:30 - 4:30 but do work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can provide care before and after work as well as during the days when I work from home. I am also free most weekends. Because all animals are different, my first priority is to provide the type of care and services specific to their individual needs. I do have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. I love to go on walks / hikes with dogs.
“Paul was great as the first non-family walker of our six month old puppy. He helped Ollie on his waking protocol and gave him the exercise he needed. We will definitely use him again!”
About: I was lucky to grow up with lots of pets and always had an obsession with animals. My Mom did Rover for 6 years and I went from assisting her to loving it enough to go full time. If you want a pet sitter that loves and cares about your pets as much as you do, i’m your guy!😁 I’m currently looking to do pet sitting full time. I’m accepting both recurring and as needed clients. I am very flexible so any questions feel free to ask I include a visit update and picture of your pet sent to you at the end of every visit. When walking dogs, I make sure to never leave the house without the leash secured. Any medications, special diets, general likes and dislikes your pets may have, silly quirks; we will work together to make sure all needs are met and importantly that your pet feels happy and comfortable too!
“Katelyn is/was such a great dog walker! She met with me right away to meet my dog and responded super quick! She sent lots of pictures and made sure he was well taken care of when I was gone. Would highly recommend:)”
“Allison was very timely and professional. She was quick to communicate and had no issues with any changes of plans. We would recommend her to others and plan to reach back out to her in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 5, my sister is a vet and I always have access to ask her any questions if something were to ever happen, I hope to own my own hobby farm one day!

About: I’ve been pet sitting my neighbors dogs since I was 15. This summer I spent 2 months in Greece taking care of 100+ pound dogs! I have plenty of experience giving animals their medicine and grooming if needed! I am a full time student majoring in Animal Behavior, with many gaps in my schedule to have enough time for your animal! I am the most free on the weekend but have time throughout the weekdays! As I am a student I do not have my family dog with me. However I would love to treat your dog as my own and care for them greatly!
“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”
About: I’m a disabled veteran & dogs have always been my peace so i decided to start incorporating more of them into my daily life & call it “work” 🥰 pet-loving is part of my every day life! i take my own pups for walks in the morning before the heat, and during the warmest days of winter. i love being outside, playing with animals & taking care of them! i will use the app, frequent communications in texting, etc. along with pictures and videos to send to all my pet parents! walking the pups at least a mile, if they can, or more if requested! i also walk all my clients separately from others, so no need to worry about differing personalities.
About: I grew up with cats all my life and have spent time taking care of them while dog sitting dogs of all ages for my neighbors. I have done walks, feeding, emptying litter boxes, given medications, and taking them to appointments! I’m currently applying to residency programs and have more time on my hands to spend taking care of animals! This allows me flexibility to take care of pets most days of the week where I don’t have an interview. My girlfriend and I do not currently have a pet at home, unfortunately. While caring for others’ pets, I enjoy ensuring that they don’t become lonely while their people are gone!
About: Hello, my name is Nathan. Your pet's safety is my first priority. I enjoy walking, spending time with, and caring for dogs and all animals. I have experience with going on walks and hikes with a variety of animals. I have a large yard with lots of room for exploration and play. There is a lot of nature and some nice ponds and trails nearby that are a lot of fun to walk around if your dog wants to do that. Also, there are many friendly dogs in the neighborhood that would love to play. I am available to house dogs or other animals too; I have room for two dogs of any size. Feel free to contact me if you have any special requests or questions.
About: I have spent years caring for the dogs of friends and family, and I’ve realized there is nothing I enjoy more. Since my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I have a "dog-sized hole" in my life that I’d love to fill by caring for yours! Being self-employed gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to prioritize your dog’s routine—whether they need a long midday trek or a dedicated house sitter to keep them company while you’re away. As a self-employed professional, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. Since I work from home and cannot have dogs in my own apartment, I treat my walks and house-sitting bookings as my primary motivation to get outside for walks. My priority is maintaining your dog's familiar routine to keep them stress-free. I provide dedicated companionship, and because I am self-employed, I can often bring my work with me to ensure your pet isn't left alone for long periods.
About: I’m a graduate student looking for a lighthearted side job doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs! I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life and have more than five years of dog-sitting experience. I also worked for two years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and activity levels. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a graduate student. I have no classes on Fridays, and my weekends are generally free, which gives me flexible availability for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also enjoy getting outside and would love to spend that time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they need. I do not currently offer pet care in my apartment, but I am happy to travel to clients’ homes for dependable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and care.

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

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.

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 .

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.
