About: Hi, my name is Allyse. I have been doing Rover since November 2024. I love this job because I learn about other people’s dogs/cats and their breeds. I love helping people and their animals. I'm an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I've been around cats and dogs throughout my life and enjoy spending time with them. I'm excited to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to pet-sitting. When you're away, I promise to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm committed to building trust and ensuring your pets' happiness. I'm a college student studying Animal Health & Behavior with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. With my flexible job driving for DoorDash, Instacart and Amazon Flex, I can choose when I work. This means I'm available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. As a pet sitter, I promise to create a safe and cozy environment for your furry friend. I'll keep a calm and patient attitude to put pets at ease, follow their feeding and watering schedule, spend quality time playing and giving attention, help with training if needed, and make sure the home is pet-proofed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I'll work with you to understand their specific requirements and provide personalized care. As a Rover sitter, I'm dedicated to delivering exceptional care and ensuring your pet's happiness.
“Jenna took great care of our Goldendoodle, Finn, while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and always showed up as scheduled. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing Finn was happy and well cared for. She followed his feeding schedule carefully and made sure he received his medications as instructed. Finn seemed very comfortable with her, and we were grateful to have someone dependable looking after him. Thank you, Jenna, for taking such good care of our pup!”
About: My family has always had pets, between dogs, guinea pigs, and cats. I've been trusted in the past to house-sit for family and friends. I love being around animals, especially dogs and cats (I have 5 cats at home currently who I love so much). I also have experience with nastier dogs, as the owner of a particularly rude chihuahua. I am on summer break from college with a remote job, so my schedule is super flexible and open to you and your pets’ needs! I am a clean guest who will leave things nicer than I found them, so you can trust me to come into your home and take care of your pets without worrying about a mess left behind!
About: Hi there! I’m Jovana, a devoted pet lover. Growing up with my own furry companion, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the joy and care pets bring into our lives. Beyond my own pets, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after my friends beloved animals, treating each one as part of my extended pet family. I am currently not working so I would be available from morning to night anytime, I would also be available to care for your pet when you are away. I tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or administering medication. I also engage in activities like walks or interactive play sessions to keep your pet physically and mentally stimulated.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and come from a family of rescue lovers. I currently care for my own rescue dog, who has severe anxiety, and caring for him has taught me a lot of patience and how to recognize each pet’s different personalities and needs. While I’m new to Rover, I’m excited to get started and build meaningful relationships with both pets and their owners. A little about me! I work as a therapist during the week. Outside of work, I love reading, staying active, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with friends and family. I truly enjoy caring for others—whether that’s people or pets! I take pride in making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away, and I always try to leave your home just as I found it (or even a little tidier). I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own. I work during the week, primarily on Tuesday through Friday mornings and evenings. Since I work virtually some days, I have flexibility in my schedule as long as I have a quiet, confidential space for my clients. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week when scheduling permits. I'm also fully available Saturday through Monday and enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm happy to care for your pet in your home, take them on walks around the neighborhood, or visit local parks for exercise. I know that every pet has different routines, personalities, and comfort levels, and I can adapt to their/your needs.
“I’m never disappointed. Max can’t contain his excitement whenever he sees her. He comes back happy and tired allowing me to get through my work day. I don’t know what I’d do without her.”
“We had a positive experience with Andrew. It was a last minute booking and he confirmed promptly. He was punctual, with proactive communication before and during the walk. Our pup was happy and he paid attention to our special instructions to keep her from picking up trash off the ground. Thank you!”
“Cristine did an amazing job taking care of Lex while I was away. She arrived on time, sent pictures, mapped his walks and texted them to me--all of which reassured me that Lex was being well cared for. I will definitely be booking her again in the future, and I highly recommend her services. Thank you Cristine!”
“I’m very happy with Ja’s service! I have a Pitbull and a rather large German Shepherd. While the Pibble is a sweetheart the Shepherd can be a bit of a handful at times. She has a very calming demeanor and has great control over them both. She gave them extra pets and even sat in the sun with them on the balcony for a bit. She even brought in my meal delivery and put everything in the fridge for me. Will certainly book again! Especially next time I leave town! Thank you Ja!”
“Robert has been walking my dog Roman three times a week for the past few weeks, and it’s been a fantastic experience. He’s always on time, sends a photo and quick update after each walk, and clearly takes great care with Roman. He’s also been really flexible—willing to adjust the schedule when needed, which has been a huge help. It’s a relief to know Roman is in such good hands. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog walker!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have always had multiple dogs. Whether it’s a small Yorkie or a big Boxer or Doberman, I have experience taking care of all types of dogs. I also have been riding horses since I was five years old and have worked at my barn for many years riding horses, cleaning out stalls, turning them out, and grooming them. Last year, I was the head of service for the equestrian team at my college and we volunteered for the local SPCA with both dogs and cats. I know the responsibility of taking care of animals, and will care for yours like my own. I am currently an online student at a community college, so I am pretty flexible during the week. I am planning on taking in person classes during the spring semester, so my availability might change a little thought the week. I have a boxer at home, so I know the responsibility it is to take care of a pet and the area around you. I am a very organized person and keep things very clean. I will clean up after your pet, take them on walks depending on their routine, play with them, etc. I understand it is a change for them to have someone different there, so I try to make their routine as similar as possible so they can adapt to a new person.
About: I grew up in a household where we nursed animals back to health. From geese, to squirrels, to kittens. It’s in my blood to nurture and care for animals. I have a 9 year old cat, that I have been taking care of since I was 11, I also have experience with puppies starting at the young age of 2 months and raising them. My cat also has medical problems, so I am experienced in administrating medication to animals as well. I am currently studying psychology, and one way I wanted to go with it was animal psychology. I am more than just interested in the adorable faces and the love animals have to offer. I believe animals are intelligent creatures of life, who deserve the utmost respect and love. I will be able to provide you with a comforting experience with your animals.

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 Mertztown. 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.
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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
