About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a little girl, of all different sizes a breeds. No one dog is the same and I like to find the personality of each individual dog to better suit their needs. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends when on vacation or simply stopping by the house to feed, give fresh water and have a little playtime. I'm excited to spend time with your dog! I’m currently work from home so will be able to care for you babes with my full attention! I love to make sure each animals feels safe and loved in my care through play and tons of snuggles. When staying with me, I have 3 acres of land for your animals to explore as well as a fenced in yard for those who would prefer it. I also am the happy over of multiple cats, chickens and one awesome pig. They are all extremely friendly.
“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan! She responded promptly to my last-minute dog walking request and went above and beyond from the start. She even made time to meet us before I left town, which gave me so much peace of mind—and my dog Miah, a 50lb mixed breed and 100% cutie, took to her immediately! Throughout the entire service period, Morgan was communicative, reliable, and always on time. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she genuinely cared for Miah. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and loving hands. I will absolutely reach out to Morgan again for any future pet care needs. She’s a true gem!”
“Angie did a great job with my dog, and messaged me throughout. Afterwards, there was a slight incident where maintenance at my complex entered my home while I was away without notifying me, and I assumed Angie may have done it. I lashed out very reactionary, and despite that, Angie remained professional and tried to help. I apologize again, and appreciate how great she did with my pet as well remaining professional when I have her reason not to.”
“Kyleigh is the best. She is flexible- our family appreciates because our schedules are crazy but she’s willing to make it work where she can. I trust her completely in my home and with my dog and cat. She is someone you can trust, count on, and will be exceptionally kind and loving with your pets. I would t hesitate to recommend Kyleigh.”
About: I can't pass a pup in public without getting in a quick pet. If I'm meeting you for the first time I may or may not remember your name, but I'll remember every detail (including name) of your pup. I'm 50 years old, but when I'm in the presence of a furry friend, I start baby talking like a 2-year-old. Bottom line, I love dogs. I am Mama to 4 rescue pups and a rescue kitty. I've proudly fostered 9 rescues over the years and although it's a challenging job, it's extremely rewarding seeing them happy and healthy in their forever homes and knowing that I had a small part to play in that. I'm a stay-at-home Mom of two teenagers who don't need me nearly as much as they used too. That newly acquired free time enables me to accomodate almost any number of drop in visits per day to spend quality time with your fur baby! My pups are used to a specific routine and thrive when they are comfortable and know what to expect. With that being said, I'm happy to follow any care instructions that you request. From administering medication to going on fun-filled walks, your request is my command!
“My dog, Dougray, adores Tricia. Tricia is attentive to Dougray’s needs; he’s always happy and excited to see her when she takes him out for his morning walk. Tricia is prompt at responding to requests and is great at communicating when it comes to scheduling Dougray’s walks. I cannot recommend Tricia enough!”
“He has been amazing! Our dogs are so well cared for and he’s always right on time. He takes the time to play with them during their daily walk, his communication is always prompt and he’s been flexible when things have come up. Highly recommend 😊”
“Lindsay was hands down the best! She updated is constantly on our pup and helped in any way she could. Zeus seemed extremely happy when we got back. We are definitely booking again with her!”
“I was so lucky to find Jay and his sister Julie! He’s been walking my dog for the past three years and has been amazing from day one — dependable, thoughtful, and always pleasant. My Sammy lit up every time he arrived. Julie kept things organized and easy for me, which made the whole experience stress-free. They’re a fantastic team and I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Danielle is wonderful! Would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! I’m a traveling nurse with a mini Aussie who isn’t a fan of being cooped up all day so Danielle was a god send for Pi and I. She’s very adjusting to schedule and times and is always there when we need her no matter the day of the week. She treats Pi as her own and we cannot recommend her enough! Dependable, reliable, trustworthy, loving, caring, playful, and just all around amazing! We LOVE Danielle!”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My dog is now a senior but we adopted her as a puppy. Due to my dogs age and health complications that come with it, I've gained experience with senior care. This includes light stretches, red light therapy, medication, etc. Watching her grow up gave me the incentive to support other pet parents by making sure their pets are taken care of while they're away. I've watched a family friend's 4 cats for the past 4 years, as well as 2 others. I enjoy what I do, and I'd love to extend my services to you! I'm currently working part-time, so outside of work, your pet will be my number one priority! I can stop by in the morning and afternoon for at least 1 hour each, spend quality time with them, clean up if necessary, and make sure they're comfortable for the evening before heading out. When I arrive, I'll greet your pet at the door or, if applicable, at their kennel. I'll look around and do any easy clean up, let them outside to potty or clean up litter boxes, make sure food and water are good, and then spend some quality time with your baby. I like to be active, so I'll take him/her on walks, play in the yard, or just chill about if they aren't keen on the sweat. Either way, I'll engage and make sure they're ok!

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of pets since I was a kid. I’ve walked dogs for my neighbors, fed horses, goats and chickens for family friends, and pet sat many other dogs and cats. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am a single mother of 2 girls. I am new to the Greensboro area, but have been pet sitting for years. I treat other's pets the way I would treat my own. I don't currently have any pets, but I used to have 3 dogs, and I grew up around pets my whole life. Pets are family that deserve love and care.
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sierra. She has been incredible with our sweet puppy and gone out of her way to accommodate our desired schedule. She is always on time and a wonderful communicator. We couldn’t be happier that we found Sierra to walk our Maverick.

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.
