About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!
“Jacklyn has been an excellent dog walker! She sends a detailed review of each walk and was very accommodating when I needed a second dog to join. My dog has really enjoyed having walking with her.”
About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs & cats since I was little. As an adult, I have been pet sitting an dog walking part-time for the past two years. I love all the amazing critters I've gotten to meet and care for - as well as the humans too (some pet sitting has even turned into babysitting for the same clients!) I consider it a great pleasure to get to work with animals everyday, experience the great outdoors with them (even if in winter 🥶 and summer 🥵), and be a trusted resource for my clients. I currently have two rescue dogs with my partner - a 45lb bossy-cuddler named Luanne and a 77lb sweet, shy girlie named Sheeba! I currently am working part time (3xweek) with a varying schedule. Usually a shift will be between 6-8 hours. If your pets can make it 6-8 hours some days, I’m sure we can work something out! I have a fenced in yard at my home that I am able to let dogs out in through out the day. I also provide my dogs with a walk in the morning and a longer walk in the afternoon for exercise and lots of good sniffs!
About: Safety, trust, and calm care come first. I provide individualized care with a special focus on senior, anxious, and skittish dogs.

Availability * Weekdays: Morning walks before 8:30 AM + evening walks/visits after 5 PM * Saturdays: After 4 PM * Sundays: All day I currently help care for a friend’s Bull Terrier with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, and I bring that same patient, attentive approach to every dog I care for. I’d love to meet you and your dog for a free meet & greet! Availability: - Weekdays: Morning walks before 8:30am + evening visits/walks after 5pm - Saturdays: After 4pm - Sundays: All day - I love building a consistent routine for senior + anxious dogs. Message me to find a time that works! Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I use Fear Free handling, follow your routines carefully, and never force interaction.

About: I’m young and active and love animals. I recently became a foster parent and taken care of 2 dogs and a cat before giving them away to good families. I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home, giving me plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether it’s pet sitting or walks, I’m happy to provide reliable and loving care! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions carefully to ensure their needs are met. With toys and treats from my past foster pets, I’m always ready to make them feel at home. I live in a spacious house in a gated community with a large front yard, plus I have access to a neighborhood park and a dog park just a few miles away. I pay close attention to details, especially if your pet seems uncomfortable, and I can’t help but shower them with love and attention because they’re just too cute!
About: I have volunteered at a couple of local animal shelters over the duration of 2 years for multiple hours a day! While I only have a certain amount of professional experience, I also own 2 domestic long haired cats who I’ve raised for the last 4 years. I specialize in cat care on a private setting and dog care on a professional setting. I have many available days within my weekly calendar to fit pet sitting and pet walking into my schedule.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Building a bond with each dog is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run, play, and have fun. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. I work part-time as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA), where I help care for clients and support their daily needs. My job has a flexible schedule, which allows me to have open availability. This flexibility makes it easy for me to fit in dog walks and pet companionship throughout the week My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming place where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a large, fully fenced in yard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever of my own who loves other dogs, but I’m always happy to keep dogs separated if needed for their comfort, safety, or your preference. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where every dog gets the care and attention they deserve.
About: I sincerely LOVE getting to know each individual dog's personality (quirks and all!) and learning about what makes them happiest. I have many years of experience: walking dogs in NYC & in Western Mass; pet-sitting for my friends', neighbors' and partner's dogs (as well as for other types of pets). I create a warm, nurturing and happy environment for my precious furry friends to thrive. (Please note: on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, I am usually available from 11 AM-5:30 PM; on Mondays & Wednesdays, I am usually available from 11 AM -12 PM) I'm currently working part-time as a educator (tutor) so I have ample time to provide dog care (walking, drop-in day care and occasional boarding) during the week, Mon-Wed and Thurs-Friday. On occasion, I may be able to board dogs during the weekend. I live in an extremely peaceful, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood (the Plains of Easthampton) toward the end of a cul-de-sac. So there is almost no cars or traffic here. I do have a front & back yard. Although it is not fenced, it is backed by trees and, as mentioned, almost zero traffic
“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Sampson. She did three 30-45 minute walks and was absolutely amazing! Sampson adapted extremely well and is super excited to see her. She’s great and will be booking with her again very soon! I can’t thank her enough for her help!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs and I’ve taken care of them and loved them for forever. I’ve recently adopted two kittens and I love to play with them. I’m a student right now with a flexible schedule so I could check in on pets on pretty much every day and throughout the day. I have energy to play with young cats or dogs and can fulfill all their needs. My services will change depending on the pets personality and what they’re needs are.
About: I've had cats and dogs for most of my life. I'm experienced with caring for elder dogs and dogs with disabilities. People are often surprised by how comfortable their pets are with me, even pets who don't normally approach new people. I've studied cat body language to be able to better care for my two cats. My availability is consistently pretty open. I work part time with a flexible schedule, so I'll have ample time for pet sitting and dog walking. Your home is your sanctuary. I'm a quiet, respectful human who will happily care for your pets while respecting your home. I'm happy to play with your pets to keep them engaged while they wait for you to get back.
“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”
About: I’m retired and take walks everyday and love animals I’ve had animals all my life and we love and respect all animals and there wellbeing Comfort and sanctuary and help my disabled wife be less depressed and give her something to that will help her get up in the morning Love them and give them the attention they deserve and care for them like they are my own animal and to play with them a lot
About: I have pet sat cats and dogs for the last 7 years, and am very attentive to individual needs. Having grown up with a cat myself and taking care of my sisters dog definitely set me up for successful pet care. I work part time currently so am often available up to 2 days during the week and often one weekend day to care for your pets! I often let the pets lead me at first when I enter their environment. I want them to feel safe and comfortable, and am very patient when dealing with more anxious or defensive pets.

Jacklyn was an incredible dog walker for our fur baby! She was prompt with the visits, followed all instructions to a T, and took great care of our silly girl. We are new to the area and were unsure where to start with searching for reliable and safe care for our pet, but she was absolutely wonderful and we will definitely book again!

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 your Oakdale. 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 , 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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
