About: I have been around animals my entire life and have cared for my own pets since I was young. Over the years, I have owned and cared for many different types of animals, including Pit Bulls, Yorkshire Terriers, German Shepherds, Bulldogs, Shar-Peis, mixed-breed dogs, cats and kittens, turtles, rabbits, and chickens. Through this experience, I have learned how to understand different temperaments, provide daily care, maintain feeding schedules, exercise pets, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to treating them with the same care and attention that I give my own pets. I have a flexible schedule while attending university, with plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. My classes are mostly concentrated during the late morning and early afternoon, so I am generally available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, with additional flexibility on days when I have fewer classes. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I always do my best to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I live in a pet-friendly home with no other pets, which allows me to provide focused attention and a calm environment. My home has a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and multiple rooms, giving pets space to relax and feel comfortable. While there is not a fenced yard, there is plenty of outdoor space nearby for leashed walks, and a park is located close to my home for additional exercise and enrichment. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, follow the owner's instructions carefully, maintain regular feeding and potty schedules, and make sure pets always feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I had 2 dogs growing up and have experience with various breeds through my work and schooling. I am educated on assessing body language and handling aggression, excitement, etc. I have extensive experience with cats, and take care of multiple cats both at work and those belonging to relatives. I work full time at an animal hospital, so I will be available after work hours most days during the week, but am mostly free on weekends! I can arrive early depending on the travel distance and stay late— whatever you need I am open to discussing! As I do not board animals in my own home, your comfort is one of my top priorities. I am clean, consistent, reliable, and value communication. You and your animal’s comfort with is very important to me!

About: I've been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for several years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I've provided overnight pet sitting and am comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I always treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work part time teaching swim lessons, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you're away.

About: My whole life I have always had dogs. I absolutely love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. It is so much fun to meet new animals! I am currently a sophomore at SUNY Oneonta! I have class daily for around 3 hours each day. I love animals and this is the perfect way for me to make money while at school😊 I will do anything asked of me to help take care of your fur babies to cause you no stress while you are away! I will even take them to the groomers and vet if needed.
About: I've been an animal lover since I was a young girl and want to have a positive impact on every fur baby I come into contact with. So far in my early years of life I've cared for 3 dogs of my own, from having a super calm lab mix to having a hound mix with anxiety and high energy. In 2018 I adopted a 5 month old lab pit mix from a high kill shelter through East Coast Adoptions. Taking on a high maintenance dog has it's challenges but extremely rewarding. He taught me so much, including patience and how to become a good trainer. Message me to find out more about my services! I just moved back to my home town and have a flexible schedule that will allow me to pop in and check on your fur baby while still keeping an open schedule 💖 I had a fenced in yard growing up at my parents house that allowed my pups the exercise needed daily as well as afternoon walks. I will no longer be able to provide boarding/ overnight care as an option at this point but happy to work with your needs to come up with a compromise!
“Megan does twice a week drop in visits/walks with my 11yo pitbull who adores her. Megan is super communicative, accommodating with scheduling and always sends the cutest pictures of Stella. We’re super lucky to have found Megan!”
“Kasey was great! She was understanding about my dogs anxiety and reactivity. She was also super understanding when I had a family emergency and had to cancel in the middle of the booking. Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out to her again the next time I someone to take care of my dog :)”
“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

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 Oneonta. 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.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
