About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk
“My small yorkie LuLu doesn’t normally walk with anyone but me and very few people who have watched her. Vanessa was able to get her to go on a walk and do her business. It took the stress out of my travel day knowing that LuLu was well cared for. Thank you Vanessa!”
“Yuna is very professional and a great dog walker with my yorkie Toby! She walks him daily while I’m at work. She is on time and always keeps her schedule up to date and accurate. Thanks Yuna!”
“Fariba was amazing! She came to our house on time, Iggy was so excited to see her. She is definitely a dog lover! She took Iggy back and let us know if he had gone potty or not. We will definitely reach out to Fariba again for her service and will definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on clear communication and regular updates, including photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home full time so I will be able to accommodate most schedules during the week. My weekends are usually open and free so that means more time to dedicate to your pet's care. I will make sure the proper care and attention is given at any point of the day! I have more than enough space in my apartment to accommodate most animals. My apartment complex is very safe, quiet and clean with adequate space to provide walks if needed. For cat owners, I do have a resident cat that will be in the same house. I will make sure proper separation is guaranteed if you decide to have your kitty cat stay with me!
“Jennifer has been amazing! She walks my baby with patience and enthusiasm. She leaves detailed messages and pictures after each walk. Her years of experience are reassuring as well.”
About: I have several years of hands on experience caring for animals. I helped care for my dad’s Greater Swiss Mountain Dog during the last few years of her life, including feeding, walking, spending time with her, and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I also cared for a flock of about a dozen chickens for over four years, handling their daily feeding, water, cleaning, and general care. I’m comfortable around both large dogs and animals with different personalities and needs! I recently completed my service with the U.S. Coast Guard and am now excited to commit full-time to pet sitting and dog walking. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and extended pet sitting. Pet care will be a primary focus of my daily routine, so I can give your pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’m comfortable handling large dogs and always stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings while walking or caring for them. I’ll treat your pet and your home with respect, keep you updated, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
“Hailee did a great job managing my older, reactive/anxious dog as well as my very excitable puppy! I would definitely recommend her—she followed my detailed instructions carefully and was very patient with both dogs, who each have somewhat complicated needs.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, growing up with pets and continuously having dogs in my home. Having raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life, I treat every guest pet with the exact same unconditional love, safety, and attention I give my own. Working part-time gives me a highly flexible schedule with plenty of dedicated, open blocks throughout the day for pet care. I can easily accommodate consistent feeding times, mid-day walks, playtime, and evening care. Because my work hours are manageable and predictable, your pet receives frequent individual attention, timely potty breaks, and structured daily routines without long gaps in care. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent, comfortable, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to your instructions for feeding, fresh water, exercise, and any special care or medications. I ensure your home stays clean, secure, and respected, providing full attention, affection, and active engagement during every visit. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit or stay so you know your pet and home are in great hands.
About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“I contacted Chase on short notice due to work emergency. She took my dog to her appointment to be spayed. Not only did Chase take my girls but Chase left her number as an emergency contact if the Vet could not reach me. Chase’s communication was great and I could not be happier with the care she gave my pup. Chase even checked back to see if I might need her to pick up my pup after the procedure. I won’t hesitate to work with Chase in the future and am beyond happy with the help and peace of mind she gave me.”
“Wendy was awesome. I worked remotely with her to help my mom have someone walk her dogs while my dad is traveling. She was patient, thorough and was considerate of the dogma needs! My mom felt immediately comfortable with Wendy and I got regular updates from her and Wendy before and after walks! Thanks, Wendy!”

Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Olive. Olive was content and enjoyed her daily walks. On the one day that Olive’s behavior was different Vanessa let me and our contact know. Vanessa is reliable and gentle. She can be trusted in your home and with your pet. We will be happy to have Vanessa come in the future.
Jade is truly the absolute best! Charlie Ann is a very sensitive dog with lots of feelings, and Jade quickly became one of her favorite people. Jade has a deep respect for Charlie as a creature with her own personality, preferences, and desires. She pays incredibly close attention to Charlie’s subtle cues and has gotten to know her so well, honestly, better than many people who have known Charlie for years. Jade is also a phenomenal communicator. After every walk, I get thoughtful, detailed updates and documentation, and I always feel like I know exactly how Charlie is doing and how their time together went. I’ve truly never felt so comfortable trusting someone with Charlie so quickly. It is incredibly clear how much Jade cares about her, and knowing that Charlie is with someone who understands and respects her so deeply gives me enormous peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her!
We’ve used Emily quite a few times to care for our dogs while we’re out of town, and she’s been wonderful! She is always right on time and is so great with our dogs. We especially appreciate all the pictures she sends and the updates about how they did on their walks—it’s so nice to know they’re happy and well cared for while we’re away. We will absolutely continue to use Emily and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pets!
We did a trial meet-and-greet walk with Pauline and her dog, Comet, for our German Shepherd (Korben) and Husky mix (Deckard). Pauline was fantastic. Our Husky can be a bit selective and leash-reactive, but she handled him with total confidence and ease on our neighborhood walk. She has great instincts with dog dynamics, remained completely unfazed by typical introduction behaviors, and our senior GSD took to her immediately. It’s a huge relief to find a local sitter who understands large breeds and active dogs so well. 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 Meet & Greet .

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.
