“This was our first Rover experience so we were nervous. As soon as we recieved our first Rover card from Ari our nerves were gone! We have a senior dog currently with a paw injury requiring special instructions. Ari paid attention to every detail and sent us the sweetest pictures of our boy. We already have our next walks booked! Thus far reliable, communicative and responsible! Thank you Ari!!☺”
About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.
About: Ive had my own dog since i was little so i know to have patience and attentive. It was helpful the 2 years experience of pet sitting and walking dogs for other clients. I've clean litters, feed pets, stayed a little longer to play with them. I dont mind doing a wash and dry. I like to go out so it'll be mini trips in my car i can get a dog seat if they're small pets. i also make homemade meals optional completely healthy. I currently work a few days in amazon so i spend most of the time with my pet and would like to spend more time with dogs I have a back yard and my dog is friendly i can easily crate your pet and have a soft small stair case to my bed or sofa and water fountain and clean my home regularly
“Jessica walked Janie twice a day while we were out of town and Janie was staying with my mother. Jessica took pictures and sent detailed descriptions of how the walk went. My mom tells me Janie was always thrilled to see Jessica, and she always came back tired, happy, and healthy. I couldn’t ask for more.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of ever kind since I was young. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently taking care of my daughter and family. So I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard where your fur baby can play safely. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed, and I also offer in-home pet care.
“Jason is an excellent dog walker. My dog Zazou is normally very shy with people but she took to him right away. He was prompt, on time, and sent pictures. I will not hesitate to book him again.”
“Cynthia is fantastic! She's a responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person. Most importantly, all of my pets love her! She loves animals and cares for my dog and cats like they were her own. Highly recommended!”
“Cassidy has been a fantastic dog walker for our pup Theo! We needed some last minute care, and she has been great with booking and communication. She has been so easy to contact and sends a bunch of updates leading up to and after the walks.”
About: I have a 4 year old Samoyed and love caring for pets like they’re family. I understand that sometimes you want to be with your pet but don’t have the time. I’m here to help and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. We can talk through all the details to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. I prefer caring for pets in their own home so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll take your dog for walks, feed them, and spend time playing and keeping them company.
“Great experience with Jonathan walking and dropping in on my Shiba Inu for the weekend while I was away. He is very reliable and responsive and always sent pictures of my dog, which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely be using Jonathan’s services in the future!”
“John is the Best! He loves animals and is a really nice person. I trust him with my best companion and buddy Franklin and house sitting for me for a quick stay at my Son's house. He is reliable, great at communicating and letting you know what's up and sends pictures of what he does with your dog on walks and makes you feel relaxed that your pooch is in good hands. I want to re book John, he is really worth it!”
About: I’ve had pets for years now. I currently live with my relatives and we have an australian shepherd and labradoodle mix and a husky. I love walking our dogs, and I definitely would love to help you with your furbabies! Please reach out :)) I am currently in college full-time and I work part-time, but I would always make time to walk or play with our dogs. I usually walk them on my day off or any other day available, and would play with them any chance that I get. As I have said, I am a full-time college student and have a part-time job, so availability may differ. Please reach out to me, and we can work it out 🤗 I make sure to listen to our furbabies. They can’t speak so I watch their actions. I would observe them to know if they want to go potty or if they want to eat. I would also give them treats sometimes, and I don’t forget to praise them whenever they do something like going to potty.
About: I have worked 1 year at pet grooming store. And I have experiences and knowledges on how to take care of the pets. I also own a dog; I love her and train her as a smart girl. I have another job to do on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. So, I can schedule the rest of days to take care of the pets. Safety is the most primary thing of my care, so I treat them as my own family member. I give them a nice and safe living place, like fence, or cage. That will protect your pets and others. I also have food for dogs (I can show you my pet food, please tell me if you don't want your dog to eat those so I will not provide food for them) I provide dog walking for 1-3 hours at park with my own or your leashes. Don't worry with its poop, I will pick it up. I provide cutting nails and ear cleaning for daycare customer (tell me if you need this service)

I was taking care of my son’s, high energy, 1 year 5 month old lab, Maverick and was nervous about letting him walk with a stranger. But Thankfully came across Rover and Ari, who was absolutely fantastic! Maverick usually requires a lot of patience, but Ari knew how to handle him. I loved receiving the daily photo updates and walk summaries, and of course Maverick always came home happy, calm, and ready for a nap. Highly recommend, Ari - will definitely seek for Ari in the future.
Ivy has just started walking my dog Gabby.. she’s been outstanding so far… she’s been punctual, followed all my directions and most importantly has been amazing with Gabby. As I see how happy Gabby is when Ivy arrives for her walks. Wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Ivy to any neighbor or friend with a pup needing walking.
Michelle was wonderful with our two senior rescue dogs! From the very first visit, it was clear she was experienced and comfortable caring for older dogs with different needs. She instinctively knew how to approach them, which immediately put us at ease. We were so impressed after the first visit that we booked her for consecutive walks and weekend drop-in visits. Throughout every visit, Michelle kept us well informed with detailed updates about how the dogs were doing, their walks, meals, potty breaks, and overall behavior. She also shared great photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the biggest sign of how well she had cared for them was how calm, happy, and settled they were. Everything was just as we had left it, and it was obvious they had been well looked after. Michelle is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.
Peggy was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous about leaving our Prince, but I knew we were in great hands the first time we all met. From her walk-by-walk update, videos and pics of their FANTASTIC jaunts to even helping my Mom, who was staying with Prince while we traveled, Peggy went above and beyond making sure we were as OK being away from him as he was. She not only became our go-to for Prince’s care, she’s truly became part of our family!
Huixian is excellent..I needed a last-minute and she were absolutely amazing! Super responsive, reliable, and so caring with benji . They made the whole process stress-free and gave me complete peace of mind. Benji was happy and well cared for — I truly appreciate the flexibility and kindness. Highly recommend! 🐾💕”
I can’t say enough good things about vivian she is reliable, caring, and truly treat my dog like family. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such loving and responsible hands. Communication is great, and I get updates that make my day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!
Ellison is a wonderful dog walker. She arrived early every single time she came to pick up my dog, which I truly appreciated. She gave Daisy a nice, long walk, and I was very pleased with the results. While I was away, Daisy was extremely happy and well cared for. Ellison is sweet, kind, and very attentive to details—especially important since Daisy can be quite picky. Overall, she is an absolutely fantastic person, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly
Iris was so so amazing, she was super understanding towards my dogs personality since she’s more on the shy side, she was super sweet and made sure I was aware of everything that was going on. I felt so at ease having her come over to my place! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to everyone! ❤️

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 Oakland Gardens. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
