“Michelle does a magnificent job caring for Travis as he’s still a young pup getting used to the big new world. Travis and I are very thankful our paths crossed with Michelle.”

James is punctual and attentive, providing us deatiled updates on how the walks go. Whenever we need walks for our little guy, we'll reach out to James right away.”
“Gina has been great, I had Gina come over to walk my Lulu. Prior to Gina taking us on, she came over and met with myself and Lulu, very pleasant young lady, you could tell her love for animals. She has been prompt, as well sending me pics and letting me know how Lulu was putting me at ease, while at work. I made a great choice going with Gina!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog of my own and have also trained my own pets in the past, including working with younger dogs on basic commands, routines, and good behavior. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walking routines, house rules, and any special instructions you have for your pet. I also have some experience caring for cats. While living in Las Vegas, I temporarily cared for a cat in my home, which gave me experience adjusting to the different needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets like part of the family. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet while you’re away, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits pretty naturally into my routine since I already have a dog of my own. I’m used to regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I’m also flexible and can adjust based on each pet’s normal routine and needs. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep an eye on behavior, make sure doors and gates are secure, and stick to their normal feeding and walking routines. I also give pets time to warm up to me and don’t force interaction if they’re nervous or shy.
“Tamara is so patient with our anxious dog! Our dog warmed up so quickly to Tamara and its a relief knowing our pup will be looking forward to walks while we are away at work. Tamara sends great updates and leaves notes to let us know how our dog is doing while we are at the office. She even came for a meet and greet to make sure our dog felt safe with her before her first walk.”
About: I recently graduated from Northern Michigan University this past spring with a bachelors degree in Education. Before pursuing my career, I am taking time off to work and spend time with family. I am a lover of all animals, though I have the most experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with several families for drop by visits and extended stays while they travel. I have a fur baby of my own, my cat Ringo, who I love very much. I have several references available for back ground check and to hear from prior families I have worked with for feedback if desired! I would love to work with you and your pets! I have a pretty open schedule! I work 1-2 shifts a week of retail for roughly 4 hours per shift. I can do overnights, extended stays, multiple visits per day, and so on. I’m flexible to your needs! When caretaking for you animal, I’ll be more than ready to follow your expectations. I have a list of references available from prior families I’ve worked with in the past that I am more than welcome to share with you. At any point, feel free to contact me via call or text if you have questions or concerns about the wellbeing of your animal.
About: We love dogs, and have small loving family. I work from home and we are around on weekends, so are perfect for when you need a weekend or week of dog sitting. Our lives have always included dogs, and love spending time with them! We both have experience with puppies and older dogs, and we love going for walks. We have two boys (Archie 6 and Eddie 3) and a lab/vizsla coco (9) and we are all dog lovers! I take coco for two walks a day, which are about 1 mile. I would love to have another dog to take on our walks! We cannot wait to meet your dog and spend quality time with them. I work from home so I will have a lot of time to spend with your dog! I can take the dogs out as much as needed. I work from home and will spend most of the day with the dogs. We have an unfenced yard, but I don't mind taking dogs out on a leash! I can take the dog out as much as needed.
“Destiny is seriously the best. Always keeps me updated on the babies- even on my kitties at home who are hanging out! I work 12 hours at a time so having these updates makes my heart happy. She’s the best.”
About: I bring over 25 years of dedicated experience caring for both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of pet behavior and needs. What truly sets me apart is my extensive experience with specialized medical care. My beloved Shih Tzu, who recently passed away after a long and happy life, required attentive care for severe allergies, dry eyes, and diabetes. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and highly experienced in administering eye drops, oral medications, and routine insulin injections. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave a pet with special medical needs, and I am proud to offer the precise, gentle, and reliable care your furry family member deserves. I work from home and only go into the office once or twice a week for brief 4-hour stretches (typically 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM). The rest of my time is spent working locally so I can care for my wonderful 7.5-year-old special needs son, handling his school drop-offs and summer camp schedules. This highly flexible routine gives me the perfect opportunity to step away from my desk, stretch my legs, and provide your pups with dedicated neighborhood walks or attentive drop-in visits. Sadly, my beloved dog Rocky passed away in January 2026. This summer, I realized just how much I truly miss our daily walks and the companionship of a dog. While I am not quite ready to bring a new full-time pet into our home, I would love to channel that missing affection into helping busy neighbors by giving your pets all the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your pets are treated like true members of the family in my care. Because my beloved Rocky passed away in January 2026, my home is currently pet-free, meaning your furry family member will get my absolute, undivided attention during drop-ins or walks, with zero risk of conflict with resident animals. Backed by over 25 years of pet care experience, I approach safety with a proactive mindset—strictly adhering to your leashing preferences, double-checking that doors and gates are securely locked, and ensuring your home remains secure. I tailor my visits entirely to your pet's unique personality and energy level. Whether they need a high-energy walk to a local field where they can safely run or simply prefer quiet, comforting companionship on the couch, I treat your home and your pets with the highest level of respect and devotion. To give you ultimate peace of mind while you are away, I will always send you detailed text updates and plenty of photos during every single visit so you can see exactly how much fun we are having!
About: I love dogs and have been working with them for 11 years. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years and love caring for other animals while their family is away. I am a stay at home mom so I prefer to dog sit in my own home I work at an animal hospital in Wheaton, IL and I used to work at a doggie daycare so I know all about dog behavior and how to handle/control them. I also have a certificate in Dog CPR and a certificate for Veterinary Assistant work. I am comfortable with all breeds and dogs of all sizes. I dog sit frequently for a family with 3 dogs and 2 cats! I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. If you want a trustworthy dog sitter/walker who loves working with animals, you found her! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible!! I can do dog walks throughout the day and I can dog sit in my own home since I am home with my kids all day! I have a nice home with a huge fully fenced in yard to run around in. I do own a cat and I have 3 young kids who love playing with dogs!
“I’m so glad Edgar is taking care of my dog during the day. I love getting my message and pictures, and I know he’s getting exercise, a potty break and some attention. I highly recommend Edgar to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Collette is the greatest dog walker ever! When I was at work in the city, my pup Sonny started to have seizures and continued having seizures until I got back home. She stayed by his side the entire time. She is very compassionate and caring and has been helping me out with dog walking for almost a year now. She is truly the best! Thank you Collette for everything that you do for me.”
About: I have had a dog since 2010, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I love every dog I meet and thoroughly enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. Dogs make me incredibly happy, and I like to think I make them happy as well! I am available any day of the week for your dogs needs. I have the summer off from work, so I am able to look after them 24/7 if needed. I can easily crate any dog if needed. I love hanging out and playing with dogs and making sure they’re in a safe environment. There’s a lot of walking trails near where I live which are amazing for walks. There’s also a dog park right in my community.

Macey has done such an outstanding job walking our Sophie this summer. From the first meet & greet, she read Sophie like a book: anticipating when she might bark at another dog, chase a squirrel, or simply watch a rabbit eating grass. And Sophie is a Great Dane mix so she weighs 90 pounds! Macey communicates fully and regularly and has almost always been able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I will simply say that Macey is simply the best and we've already arranged future times we'll need her help. We cannot thank her enough!
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Elizabeth is truly exceptional. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does—her connection with the dogs is natural and comforting. Elizabeth goes above and beyond on every walk. Whether it’s making sure routines are followed, giving extra attention when needed, or keeping you updated with thoughtful messages and photos, she brings a level of care that’s hard to find. It gives total peace of mind knowing your dog is not just being walked, but truly cared for. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and consistently exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—any dog would be lucky to have Elizabeth in their life!
Veronika came to the rescue on very short notice. She handled my very timid chihuahua mix without any difficulty. She arrived right on time, sent photos of each walk with my dog and demonstrated an understanding of my dog's needs with much warmth. I found her to be a trustworthy and capable. I would hire her again without hesitation.
Ana has always done an amazing job caring for my fur baby, Dakota. I’ve worked with her locally many times and was so excited to see her join Rover to continue growing her dog‑sitting career. Ana truly cares about the animals she works with and always takes the time to listen and understand what each pet needs. Dakota is not an easy dog to care for, between her cancer‑related medical needs and her reactive fear of other dogs and children, she can be complicated to leave in someone else’s care. Ana has always risen to these challenges and made us feel completely at ease trusting Dakota with her. This year, we went on a two‑week vacation to Italy, and Ana stayed in our home to care for Dakota the entire time. Not a single walk or medication was missed, and Dakota was loved and cared for as if she were Ana's own pet. I will always trust Ana with Dakota’s care and would confidently trust her with any pets we have in the future. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

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.
