“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”
About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of lots of other people's dogs. I recently retired early, so I have more time to hang out with more dogs! I am very fit, and I am comfortable walking little dogs and big dogs. I also have a fenced yard...which is great for doggy play dates! I am flexible nowadays. I can walk your dog (s) and/or take care of your animals when you are gone- feeding, walking, playing, and definitely loved on! Playdates are also welcome at my residence after meeting my dog so I can make sure they are compatible. I have a large fenced yard. My dog and I recently completed a dog training class. I can train basic obedience skills, such as not pulling on the leash. I really love dogs.....if I haven't said that already! The dogs I have owned were all so great! I took them everywhere: hikes, travel, camping, kayaking, etc.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to large lizards, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I believe in providing the highest quality of care and an enthusiastic about engaging with your animals. A lot of people tend to thing that animals, especially cats, only require the bare minimum, but the reality is that for the best quality of life they need consistent and engaged care. To me this means deep cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they’re cleaned at least once a day, cleaning bowls regularly, engaging in active play and exercise/mental stimulation, and being patient when shy animals need time to warm up. Leaving your animals is hard—on both of you—having someone you can trust and rely on makes all the difference. I am so excited to meet your pets and give them love. I currently work from home full time but can flex hours where needed or work from any home that has wifi and a place for me to set up. I am passionate about making sure that spaces I am in are safe, comfortable, and clean for your pets. This means that I am also available to provide light cleaning while I am there. I am especially skilled with shy or easily scared animals and have a lot of experience working with them to get used to people. I currently only take pets in my home that are comfortable and non aggressive towards cats. The animals will be separated by floor (boarded animals stay on my first floor) and a baby gate to minimize any potential issues.
“Lexi appeared earlr and is very responsible. My dog has taken to her and enjoys going out with her. Their walks are productive and Lexi even runs Lucy for part of the walk.”
“Jessica is great with Jasper! You can easily see how caring she is toward her furry friend and her profession. Jessica comunicates well, and follows direction. We'd love to have her again!”
“Jocelyn is prompt, friendly, reliable, and our pup loves going on walks with her. I feel like I can very safely trust my dog in her care, which means everything. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had my own personal pets all my life and believe pets are family and treat them as such. I have also taken care of friends, and family pets as well. Currently, I do not have any pets of my own as I lost my 2 Boston terriers last year. Now I’m dedicating my time to help others care for their pet family members. I love animals and anyone who knows me, knows this about me. I work from home full-time and I can work from anywhere that has internet. I just bring my laptop and I’m able to care for your fur kids all day :) I am especially good at cuddles all day, walks, and feeding/playing with your fur kids. My motto is animals are better than humans because they are. I love them!
“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”
About: I grew up taking care of 3 dogs in my own household, all living to ages 11, 10, and 14 years old. I have experience in agility training and have helped my Uncle train Malinois, some who are K9 certified. I have dog and cat sat(including overnight) for neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience training basic tricks to puppies and taking care of them. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also taken care of bigger animals such as horses! I have free time to hangout and take care of your pet! I am able to stay overnight, and do check ins when needed as well! I will follow your household instructions and take care of your dog or cat like it is my own, I will make sure to keep them protected and safe.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs who are both 11 years old. One is a rescue (charlotte) who we’ve had for her entire life and one is a foster fail (Fiona) who we’ve had for two years now. I fostered another dog for about 6 months who was disabled, she was a very happy dog and even without use of her back legs would make her way around! Most of my dogs have been small dogs so I have more experience with small dogs. I’ve taken care of one big dog, who was a black lab/basset hound mix so I have a little bit of experience working with bigger dogs. I work in a park and as a delivery driver so I am well versed in dog body language. I believe that giving an animal their space and allowing them to set their own boundaries with a new person is a great way for them to feel confident with me from the start. I am free pretty much every weekday! Weekends are a little more complicated as I do work another job on the weekends that will need my attention. But I do mostly gig work so, I am flexible and willing to have a conversation and work out a schedule that works for both of us! I recognize that all pets have a routine and like humans if their routine gets thrown off it doesn’t feel great. I will care for your pets by trying to follow the routine you have set for them as closely as possible. This can help your pet not feel like their entire day is thrown off by something changing, like meeting a new person or someone else walking them.
About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses, so from a young age, I was taught the importance of giving animals the specific care they need to thrive. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager and never pass up the opportunity to make a new furry friend. I’m a work-from-home educator and cat parent just trying to make some extra income, so I will have plenty of free time for snuggles, treats, and chin scratches! I’m also a runner who would love to give your energetic pup the exercise they crave. Please reach out if I sound like a good fit, and I’d love to meet your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m a teacher with a pretty flexible schedule during the summer, so I will be free every day with the exception of a few weekend trips. I am also a high school distance running coach, so I will occasionally have summer runs with the kids to work around. I live in a small ADU with two cats of my own, so I can only offer pet care in your home. I also find this is the best way to limit stress for your pet and offer you the additional peace of mind of a house sitter if desired. I’m available for drop-in’s for pets who need their space or for overnight visits for those who need more company.
“Alexis was prompt and communicative. I sent her to the wrong address first day and she was super flexible and willing to work with me. Appreciated all her help and will be using her services in the future.”
“Stella and I feel so fortunate that we have Jung as her dog walker! Finding a dog walker you can truly trust is so hard, but Jung made us feel completely at ease from the moment she stepped foot past the gate.Her vast experience and volunteer work with dogs is obvious in the way she handles Stella, paying close attention to every safety detail on their walks. Her communication is also top-notch—I always get wonderful photo updates and detailed summaries right after the walk. We couldn't ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring walker. Highly recommend Jung to any pet parent!”

Felicia was fantastic with my dog Bentley! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I got updates and photos during every walk. Bentley was always happy and worn out (in the best way) when he got back. I'd trust Felicia with Bentley anytime and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!
Michelle did an awesome job caring for Gambit! We had a medical scare the day we planned to drop our dog off with Michelle. Gambit had to have a quick surgery which resulted in him being drowsy, being prescribed medication and a patient after care routine. Although this wasn’t initially expected for Michelle to have to deal with when originally booked, she accepted the additional responsibility without question and was able to carry out the needed extra care without issue. This really helped reduce our stress and anxiety of our dog’s well being while we were out of town. If it was any other rover, we probably would have canceled our trip! Michelle is extremely responsive, punctual, nice and a joy to interact with. Would highly recommend!
I am so grateful I found Claire! She made time for a meet and greet with my pup so he could get to know her a bit before she came another day to walk him. I instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell that Finn did too. He's an Aussie and pretty much thinks everyone is sketchy, but I was surprised at how calm he was around her. When she came by another day to walk him, she sent me photos and videos and kept me in the loop on how Finn was doing. She was so patient with him and spent extra time playing with him and letting him get to know her at his own pace. Finn had a great time and it made being away a lot easier.
Steele is fantastic! He takes amazing care of Nigel and is super knowledgeable and punctual. We love that he always keeps us in the loop, whether he's sharing a quick update about how the walk went or staying on top of scheduling. I’d trust him with Nigel any day!
Zach and Janexis have been great. Frou is getting walked on a regular basis and is much happier. Great communication and they show up for every walk and have been flexible with the schedule. I greatly appreciate having people that I can trust with my dog and with my house. Highly recommend!

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.
