“Brandon has been wonderful with my dog. She gets very excited when she sees him. Great communication. He is always on time. Very responsive and very professional. 100% recommended!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes for years. Whether it's high-energy daily walks, playful check-ins, or gentle senior care, I make sure every pet gets undivided attention, patience, and love. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Dog walking and pet care is my main focus, giving me great flexibility throughout the week! My schedule is wide open to easily accommodate early morning, mid-day, late afternoon walks, or last-minute requests. Your pet will always receive my full, prompt, and dedicated attention during our time together. Safety and care are my top priorities whenever I walk or care for a client's pet. On walks, I keep dogs securely on a leash, stay completely aware of our surroundings, and never introduce pets to unfamiliar dogs without explicit owner approval. I strictly follow all entry, key, and house rules to ensure your home remains safe and secure.
About: Hi! I’m a part-time student with a lifelong passion for dogs, and I'm so excited to take care of your fur baby. I grew up around large breeds like Cane Corsos and Pit Bulls, so I’m completely comfortable and confident handling dogs of all sizes—from small pups to big breeds. I’m also happy to help with basic obedience training and can safely administer any required medications. I have a 4-year-old Goldendoodle named Koda who loves active days, and I’m always eager to take dogs on fun, refreshing walks to local parks. Whether your dog needs energetic exercise, gentle reinforcement of good habits, or precise daily care, I’ll treat them with the love and attention they deserve! As a part-time student, my schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of time to focus on your pet. I organize my day around their normal routine—ensuring timely feedings, medication, potty breaks, play sessions, and park walks so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize a secure, attentive, and stress-free environment for your pet, whether I'm caring for them in your home or on walks. I’m comfortable managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always send frequent photo and video updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in my home - my childhood dog was my first best friend! I live with my sweet dog Lucy, who has a seizure disorder. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and take pride in providing excellent care to all furbabies. I am currently working from home, although I may be out of the house for a few hours at a time as my schedule requires. I am still getting to know the neighborhood so I love going on walks with my pup to see the sights and get to know our neighbors.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and taking care of them is second nature. I see Rover as a way to interact & keep them in my life while not having one of my own at home. I already routinely take 1 to 2 walks during my day, so the addition dog walking or sitting fits rights into my daily schedule now. In your home, I am clean, orderly, and can clearly follow all instructions given. You will find your fur baby and your home better off than you left them before
About: I have owned a dog my entire life. I have lived with four, including our old foster dog. I am a kitten foster with Humane Indiana since 2020. Since then, I have fostered over 30 kittens. I am used to the hard work that comes with taking care of animals, and more than happy to do so. I am currently a full time college student so will have time to take care of your pet before, after, and in between my classes. My weekends are pretty free. I have a fenced in backyard along with one dog (king charles spaniel). He is very friendly but can stay separate if need be. I have four cats that are used to other animals with my fostering experience. They will stay away from dogs or can be in the basement.
“Maraid did a wonderful job with my puppy Reggie. She played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk and spent a nice hour with him so that I could go to work and not leave him in a crate all day! I felt very comfortable with Maraid! She’s fantastic!!”
“Briana is so GREAT with our two dogs. She truly cares for Ody and Billie Jean like they are her own. She has great availability, which works amazingly for our hectic schedules. She is truly the best!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs both large and small. I've owned a small dog of my own for 13 years and am able to care for senior dogs with medication requirements. I regularly sit my sisters 2 very high energy dogs and will go for multiple walks a day. I have a 2 year old shih tzu who is the friendliest pup and gets along with almost all dogs! Im currently working part time, short shifts at a salon but am able to come home to take care of dogs. I also have a camera setup to be able to check in and get alerts when there’s movement. While visiting your home, Im always respectful of the rules you have set for your dog(s), as well as those set for myself. I prefer to keep a closer eye on dogs inside if they have a tendency of getting into things not meant for them. I love to be outside as well, so many walks, trips to dog parks or just playtime in the back yard will be a priority on my list when caring for your pet(s).

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 Park Forest. 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.

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 .
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.
