“Dayna was outstanding. She made sure she arrived on time, took our dogs on a good walk and even played a treat game with the dogs on our deck. Dayna communicated status updates and provided photos throughout the week. She will be a "go to" for dog - and cat- care in our household!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! I’ve never booked someone through rover before and she made the experience very easy. Our dog is super stubborn and our dog seemed to really enjoy her and even potty for her. Our dog usually doesn’t potty for many people.”
“River quickly warmed up to Joseph and was able to cover short notice walks for her this week. Highly recommend him to take care of your pet when life keeps you busy. Will use his services again.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have completed multiple dog training courses with dogs my family and I have owned. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, reactive dogs, and animals who may need a little extra patience or guidance. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. As a nurse, I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I can help with walks, runs, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention! My schedule is flexible while I pursue my next nursing position, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands! I recently moved back home from Colorado and am taking a little time to recharge before starting my next nursing chapter! I've been a nurse for five years and love caring for others, but I've always had a special soft spot for animals. I'm excited to spend some extra time caring for furry friends and giving them plenty of love and attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following all instructions provided by their owners. I know pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to get to know their individual personalities, needs, and preferences. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of affection and companionship. I will always treat your home with respect and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals. I’d be happy to provide the care, attention, and companionship your pets deserve while you’re away. Working from home Monday through Friday allows me to spend extra time caring for pets and ensuring they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. While my weekend schedule changes from week to week, I’m happy to help whenever I can with advance planning. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I’ll provide the same level of care, respect, and attention that I give to my own pets.
About: I’ve owned several dogs over the years, and have helped family and friends with their dogs as well. I adopted a reactive pit bull and trained her, making great progress in her ability to meet new people, animals, and have new experiences, and want to help care for other animals now that she has passed. Happy to work with all kinds of dogs! I work from home so I am available during the day for quick walks and potty breaks, with time for a longer walk at lunchtime. In evenings, I often have theater rehearsals or recreational sports leagues, but am able to come home within a few hours. I am very comfortable in any environment, and I am willing to work in whichever way will make you more comfortable for your pet’s needs.

Am very kind and understanding to all pet personalities, love to take walks and play. Informal training is a skill of mine and I love to see pets learn new things.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My family owns many pets and has consistently relied on me to provide care for them. I trained my dog when he was a puppy and I am confident in handling medications for older pets as well, so I am comfortable working with a wide age range of animals. I am currently a college student looking for a summer job, so I would have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after 4:30 p.m and any other day of the week at any time. I am absolutely open to multiple daily visits or even staying overnight if necessary. I will send updates throughout the day so you can rest assured your pup is well taken care of!
About: Before I got my current 1.5yr old dog, I had a 17yr old beagle and a three legged dog. So I’ve definitely cared for needs of all kinds. I currently am working on my masters. I also have personal training clients. I set my own schedule, so taking care of your dog can usually fit into my schedule wherever you need it. I care for pets in your home or mine, whichever they are more comfortable. If you need me to let them out, walk, or stay with them… Just let me know.
About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A
About: I have hands-on experience working in dog daycares, where I prioritize making every dog feel included, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm confident in managing group of dogs, even in high-pressure situations, and I respond quickly and effectively when urgent issues arise. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages and understand their varying needs and behavioral priorities at each life stage. My regular days off are Sundays and Mondays. From Tuesday to Friday, I work early mornings and usually Finish by early afternoon, so I'm pretty flexible during those afternoons and evenings. Saturdays are usually booked, but I can occasionally be available with advance notice. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home. my first priority is making sure the animals feel comfortable and safe with me. I always take time to build trust before anything else. As part of my routine, I make sure the dogs are fed and taken out to use the restroom as soon as I arrive and again before I leave, So they're not left uncomfortable. I also clean up any messes they may have left while I was away. Overall, my goal is to ensure each pet feels loved, cared for, and at ease in my presence.
“Danielle was great on such short notice! We were in an emergency situation where she immediately headed over and took our fur babies for a walk. She played with them, made sure they were safe & gave them treats! Highly recommend Danielle. ?”
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Northfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

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 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
