“I cannot recommend Erika enough! She’s been amazing for her dog walking services. I appreciate her being communicative with scheduling walks. my dog appreciates the company in getting the time outside :)”
About: Previous to becoming a massage therapist, I owned a dog walking and pet sitting company. My love for animals run deep. I have even taken small animal massage courses. As a massage therapist, I do about four hours of massage, four days a week. That leaves plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. Cookie, my loving pup, and I stay in an apartment in downtown Oakland near Lake Merritt. We take at least four walks a day and often hit the trails in the east bay hills.
About: I started dog walking for families in my neighborhood and quickly realized how much I love spending time with animals and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies that love long walks to older dogs that prefer a slower pace and lots of affection. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. I’m able to plan my classes around my commitments, which means I can be reliable and consistent in caring for your pet whenever you need. I care for pets in their homes by following their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention so they feel comfortable and safe. During walks, I prioritize safety, use secure leashes, and adjust to each dog’s pace while providing updates so owners know their pet is well cared for
“Jared was absolutely wonderful with Josie. He is far more than a dog walker. He is gets to know your dog and provide such affection! I highly recommend Jared and intend on asking him for help again.”
“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”
About: Hello! I recently relocated back home to Cincinnati after graduate school. I love animals, they are such gems and have been a Rover sitter for over 7 years. I have a cat named Cosmo and my family owned a German shepherd for 14 years. I am open to helping out with all types of animals, I love cats and dogs! I am very caring, calm, and patient and will make sure your pets feel well loved throughout our time together. I love cuddling, walking, and playing with animals -just being in their company and following their lead. Trustworthiness, attentiveness, and compassion are very important to me and I will guarantee quality care. I have some flexibility during the week with my schedule, which includes some day time availability on certain days. I will do my best to form a bond with your pet and make them as comfortable as possible. Can’t wait to meet your buddies!! I have availability during the weekdays (usually mornings and evenings work well, afternoons on some days) and weekends! I can work to fit your pets schedule. I love to hear from the owner the animals typical schedule/routine and keep them as close to that as possible. Pet and owners living space safety and maintenance is very important to me. I pride myself on my observant nature, attention to detail, and trustworthiness. I am also a plant enthusiast and can help with home care tasks.
“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.”
About: I have had three dogs of my own - Bear, Snickers, and Annie! I loved each one of them so much and gave them the world. Now, let me give the world to yours when we get to have adventures together on walks, at parks, and at home with lots of pet cuddle time! I am a graduate student but make plenty of time to hang out with your pets during the day and in the evenings! I give daily walks and lots of play time and cuddle time each day we spend together! I normally dog sit at the persons home while I am caring for their pets. I find that this allows the pets to feel most comfortable and have the best experience while their families are away.
“Tess was a great dog walker! She took my best buddy out for a nice hour long walk, sent so many pictures and an excellent little recap of their walk, and he was TUCKERED OUT.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my entire life! I’m apart of several animal rescue organizations, so I’ve received special training on topics such as trauma-informed sheltering. I’m currently working full-time with a VERY flexible schedule. I work from home (downtown) for most of the week, and live close to the office. Your furry friends will receive a lot of attention from me while you’re away! I’m able to be in the home with your animal(s) for the majority of the time you’re away. I give them extra space for the first little bit, so they can get to know and trust me. Their happiness and comfort is extremely important to me!
About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.
About: My experience goes back to being the go-to walker for our family dog as a kid to minding my cat today. It’s not unusual for me to meet a dog or cat and become acquainted in minutes I work from home with a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can be on-call at various times. I’m also used to fitting pet care for my cat into my daily routine. I make sure to follow all instructions laid out by the pet parent and get clarification wherever necessary, as well as communicate any issues that may arise.
“Gracie was awesome! She is very attentive and flexible with my schedule! She even held an umbrella up for my dog while it was raining! Definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”
About: I am a responsible and friendly individual who can be relied on to walk, take care of and watch pets. I have 2 dogs at my parent’s house and have had cats in the past. I have stayed at people’s homes in the past to watch their pets and am happy to help out! I can take care of pets in your home and am super responsible to make sure they are safe and everything is locked up! I will make sure everything is clean as well. I work full time as a Physical Therapist, so my availability is mornings before work, evenings after work, and weekends. I may be able to stop by during my lunch break depending on where you’re located! I will follow any instructions you give me in order to keep your pet(s) safe while I am watching them! I value building trust with the owner and the pets.
About: Hi! I’m a new flight attendant who absolutely loves animals. I have a flexible schedule and only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet my full attention. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to match your pet’s energy! I love long walks, playtime, and giving lots of pets! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always provide updates, photos, and quick communication while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry best friend! 🐾 I’m currently part-time so my schedule is very flexible and wide open! I’m available from all hours of the day and night, whether you work days or nights :) Just let me know what you need and I will accommodate! I live in a decent sized elevator accessible apartment with a loving french bulldog that will happily greet your pup with toys! I live on Manhattan Blvd, so I have beautiful riverfront sidewalks that I can take your pups on long walks, or if you prefer, to my apartment’s private dog park!
About: I don’t just watch pets—I truly care for them as if they’re my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to meet them where they are. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally so I can provide consistent, unhurried care—whether that’s daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I build my days around pets’ established routines, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and comfort they’re used to. I allow flexibility for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I never overbook so each pet receives quality, focused care I provide care that’s calm, consistent, and tailored to each pet’s routine—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, exercise, and play. I follow all instructions closely, including dietary needs, crate routines, and medication schedules, and I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure individual attention.
Over-The-Rhine dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cannot recommend Jared enough. If you are looking for a walker/sitter/etc. that will love and care for your dogs like you would then you want Jared. You can tell this isn’t someone doing a job for a paycheck, but someone who truly loves taking care of animals. He goes out of his way to go above and beyond for our dogs.
I could not recommend Tess more- so reliable and attentive to care instructions and communicative about the walks. Tess was also flexible with me when I needed to modify a walk. I greatly appreciated her care for our 12 year old greyhound and it’s clear our grey felt very happy and calm around Tess. We will be booking again! Thank you!
Syd was so great with Fritz! Fritz requires some patience and calm from everyone he meets because he is such a nervous boy. Syd had all of it and then some. He knew all the tricks, like offering cheerios and how to communicate with dog body language. Fritz was so nervous to leave with them, they went on a quick 30 minute wal, and then Fritz came home with his celebratory zoomies! I am so excited to have Syd pet sit for us next week while we are on vacation.
I’ve had an amazing experience with Tyler! He is incredibly reliable and always flexible with schedule changes, which I truly appreciate. From the start, I felt completely comfortable trusting him with my small dog, and that peace of mind has been priceless. My dog is always well cared for, and I honestly haven’t wanted anyone else to walk him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and trustworthy walker.
Brianne was great! She made sure to let me know that my dog peed, pooped, and had a great time on their walk. She even got there a little early and stayed a little later to make sure my dog was comfortable while I was away! 6/5 stars and will be booking her again in the future!
