“Sean is absolutely wonderful, and I will definitely be using him again to help with my 175lb great dane. I have never used Rover and was nervous about using it given my dog’s size/needs, but that did not matter for Sean. He is punctual and provides great care regardless of the size! A+ rating from me!”

About: I've been an animal lover and caretaker all my life. I'm the trusted go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and I have hands-on experience from helping rescue animals off the streets. At home, I share my life with two cats, Kassandra (a lazy and Sylvester girl) and Freddy (a silly and grumpy one). I would love to welcome more in my home if I was allowed. I provide loving, responsible care for pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My work is very flexible, so I'm capable to organize my day very easily to be with your pet and be present and give all the atencion that they need. I like to know the routine of the pet so I can make sure that I disturb the minimum possible the routine to avoid unnecessary stress.

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like my own. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m not working a traditional 9–5 at the moment, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, visits, and quality time based on each pet’s needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day and making sure every dog gets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. I prioritize safety, supervision, and routines, provide calm secure environments, respect clients’ homes, and communicate regularly so pets feel comfortable, cared for, and owners feel confident.

I am so thankful to have found Aaron! Right off the bat he is extremely kind, flexible, and professional when it comes to figuring out you and your pets needs. He emphasizes keeping your pet in their routine as much as possible which is much appreciated. My very shy dog warmed up to him quickly as he spent time with her to make her feel comfortable! I loved receiving pictures and videos of my dog during his visit, which made me feel relieved that my dog was getting treated with above and beyond care. Your pet will be in wonderful hands with Aaron. Will be booking him regularly! Thank you so much Aaron we are so happy to have found you!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a North Central dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in North Central.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
