About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Worked at a vet office and going to college to become a veterinarian. Good with puppies, kittens, any old pups and cats too. Able to give medication if needed or just the care and attention they need. I'm part time at a veterinary clinic, so I have quite a bit of free time and I make sure to fit things into my schedule. I love animals so I would be willing to stay with your pet for a while each time. I make sure everyone is fed, has water, gone on walks or even just run around. I play with the animals for a bit and depending if you want me to stay longer at the house I can spend time with the baby.
About: I offer reliable dog walking and drop-in visits in Orlando. I have 1 year of professional experience caring for dogs, but I've loved animals since I was a kid. I focus on making every walk safe, fun, and full of attention. I follow your instructions exactly for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and I always make sure your pup gets lots of love and cuddles. I'm comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs that need long walks, and shy dogs that need patience. I will send you photo and video updates on every visit so you know your best friend is happy and safe while you are away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to focus on dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the day. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I love being outdoors and staying active. I'm available for walks and visits on weekdays and weekends, mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I can do last-minute bookings and regular daily walks, and I always make sure to be on time and reliable for you and your pup. Safety and trust are my top priority when caring for pets in their own home. When I do drop-in visits and dog walks, I follow all your instructions carefully regarding feeding, leash safety, and home security. I always keep dogs on leash during walks, avoid busy streets, bring water, and make sure they don't eat anything unsafe. In your home, I keep everything clean and secure, I lock all doors and I respect your space. I will treat your home and your dog with the same care as if they were my own family, and I send photo updates after every visit.
About: I specialize in cat services as I have two of my own and have taken care of countless others but also LOVE dogs and have experience taking care of my family's dogs and many others! I can't wait to meet your fur babies <3 I work from home and am free to work around when pets need to be taken care of. Your babies needs will always be prioritized. Prior to taking care of your pets, I will require a meet and greet to meet your babies as well as to get up to date on all of your requirements for your pets. As an experienced cat mom of two, I am excellent at opening doors slowly and closing behind me quickly so that there are no mischievous escapees! I am also able to administer medication if needed for your cats. For dogs, I don't have any of my own yet but have plenty of experience with watching my family, friends', and clients' dogs. I will always keep them on leash while we are outside unless we are at a dog park and can read body language very well. If temperatures are hot out, I will always test the asphalt before bringing your baby out. We will only walk in grass if it's too hot out.
“Devin has been an incredible dog charmer! Maddix took to him in minutes. He's courteous, flexible, knowledgeable and he was there for Maddix at the last minute. You are missing out if you don't give Devin a try! Thank you Devin for helping me out, especially at the last minute!”
“Jenn is such a rockstar. She walked, trained, played, and fed our dog while I had to go into office for the week. She provided great notes and pictures. She stuck to the schedule i provided but did lean on Nias temperament where necessary. Jenn is so careful and considerate. She is officially my go to for puppy sitting or walking.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.
About: I've had a fairly feisty Siamese cat for 5+ years, so I am familiar and comfortable cat sitting, but I also have dog walking experience here and there! I currently work at home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work out what times work best for me and will communicate if there’s any scheduling conflicts! Thankfully my cat maintains good health, but has been sick a few times, so I have familiarity with situations like that (such as feeding medicine, brushing, etc.)
About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life. I had my own dog from when I was about 8 years old until she passed away last year. I helped take care of her with my mom throughout her life so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and especially older dogs. I’m also currently helping my mom with a 1-year-old Goldendoodle that she watches for a couple in her apartment complex. I’ve also dog-sat for friends over the years and have experience checking in on their pets while they’re away. I really love being around dogs and animals in general. I also love being outside and spending time in nature so getting to combine the two makes me really happy. I want your dog to feel comfortable and get some attention while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and I’ll always send you pictures and an update after my visit. I’m new to Rover but I’m definitely not new to taking care of dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! My schedule is pretty flexible right now and I’m usually available throughout the day Monday through Friday. I can work around your dog’s normal routine and I’m happy to figure out a time that works best for both of us. I also try to leave some flexibility in my day in case something comes up or your plans change. I’m pretty big on making sure your dog is comfortable and that everything is left the way I found it. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave for me and make sure doors, gates and anything else are secure before I leave. I also like sending a few pictures throughout the visit so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing.

Alex has been a joy to work with!! Maddix is absolutely in love with her and I don't know what I'd do without her! She is reliable, respectful, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond! She is flexible and willing to work with you. I trust her with Maddix and my home. Everyone needs an Alex in their life! Thanks Alex, for being a life saver and caring so much for Maddix!
Loved Skyler! Super nice and responsible, she took care of my big Goldendoodle and, despite the bad weather, she did great and never missed checking on my dog at my house. On my return, my dog looked happy and got super excited when she stopped by to bring the house keys, which told me he loved her as well… that says it all!!! Will definitely use her again and recommend🫶🏻.

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 Oak Ridge. 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.

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.
