About: Hi! I’m Emma! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd mix and a Pit Bull mix, so I have experience with energetic, high-energy dogs and understand the attention and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and they have a special place in my heart. Whether your pup is young and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and would be thrilled to spend time with yours! I’m a full time touring musician, but I have multiple months in the year where I’m at home and don’t have much to do. I’m almost always available on weekdays, and sometimes weekends. I’m also usually available anytime between 8am-8pm I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. ☺️ I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I keep a clean environment, doublecheck doors and gates, and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾

About: I care for every dog like family—think loving “auntie” energy with structure and consistency. I create a calm, safe environment, provide regular updates, and focus on helping each dog feel secure, happy, and right at home. I’m home often and build pet care into my daily rhythm, allowing for frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and structure. I follow their routine closely and provide regular updates so you always feel connected and confident in their care.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I’m able to go for long walks or just snuggle on the couch, whatever your dog needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 kids so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’ll be home with your pets the majority of the day when they stay with us. I don’t currently have a fenced in yard so the dogs will have to be leash trained when they stay at my house. We’ll go for long walks around the neighborhood.
“This was outlet first time leaving our fur babies in the care of someone that wasn’t family. I must say, I didn’t worry ONCE! We got fantastic communication and pictures daily which was so sweet! I won’t hesitate to book with Cynthia again, she was super sweet to our 3 dogs and I was surprised how well they took to her right off the bat! Perfect first time experience!!”

About: Hi, I’m Isa! I’ve grown up around animals and have always had dogs and cats in my life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with both and really enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s hanging out, playing, or just keeping them company. I do Rover outside of my full-time job because I love meeting new pets and it adds joy to my life :) 🌸 Outside of pet care, I like gaming, spending time outside when the weather’s nice, and being with my family. I’d love to help take care of your pet and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule can vary during the week since I do work, but I do have flexibility depending on the day and can often make time for pet care visits. I’m especially available on weekends and would be a great fit for weekend pet sitting or check-ins. During the week, I’m still available at times for things like letting dogs out, feeding cats, or stopping by for quick visits when needed. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets are taken care of. For me, safety, trust, and a calm environment are really important when caring for pets. I like to talk with owners beforehand to learn about their pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. I really see it as taking care of someone’s family member, so I make sure I understand everything I need to know before spending time with them. When I’m with pets, I always approach them calmly and patiently so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood.

A little bit about me.. I grew up surrounded by animals from horses, pigs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and many stray dogs. My family often rescued them from the street, and that’s where I learned how to care for them and, most importantly, how to truly love them. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but I soon realized I’m too sensitive to handle see them in pain or saying goodbyes. That’s why I’ve poured my heart into this work, because every dog deserves to be safe, loved, and treated like family. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and welcome them into our little dog loving family! Thank you for trusting us 💛🐶 Pet care is my daily routine. I spend most of my day with the dogs, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, having fun and well-loved. I occasionally teach online yoga classes, but during that time, my husband is home and helps care for them. Between the two of us, your pup will always have someone nearby to supervise, play, or just relax with. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day, they’re free to relax inside or play in our large, fully fenced backyard under supervision. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment with plenty of water, rest, affection, and playtime. Since I’m home 24/7, I provide constant attention and adapt to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. For dogs who need extra care, such as those with medical or emotional needs, I offer gentle, individualized support. My husband also assists during the day, especially when I’m briefly teaching a yoga class. Our goal is always to make your dog feel secure, loved, and part of our family.
“Mackenzie did an amazing job with my pups and they both loved having her visit to walk them. One of my pups can be difficult about taking her medication but Mackenzie did great. I will definitely hire her again for my next trip.”

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I recently lost my beloved dog, so while my heart is healing, I’d love the opportunity to spend time caring for other dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

About: My first job was working at a veterinary clinic bathing, grooming, feeding, and caring for dogs and cats. My family had a farm, so I was around pigs, chickens, cows, and horses and I feel very comfortable around all animals. I have had dogs and cats throughout the years and loving on animals makes me happy. I currently dog sit for a friend of mine when she goes out of town and her dog seems to love me. I have recently moved back to Alabama from TN and am interested in establishing some regular clients. When I was in Nashville and worked from home I had a few regular drop in visit clients who I worked with regularly (3 dogs and 1 cat). I own my own business so my office hours are flexible. I live in an apartment, so I prefer to pet-sit in a client's home. This generally allows the animal to feel more comfortable in his or her own surroundings. I can do much of my work remotely, so I can bring my laptop and be able to spend time with your pet and take frequent walks.

About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter.

I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.

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

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
