About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I was raised with cats and two dobermans, and I began regularly pet sitting locally in my early teens. I’m comfortable with administering medicine, and I love getting to know pets and taking care of their needs! I am knowledgeable about training and am detail oriented to make sure your pet is comfortable and following their daily routine as closely as possible. I currently have two kitties at home and appreciate how important it is to find an attentive pet sitter for your beloved pets! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your sweet animal(s)! I’m currently working part time, and I am able to comfortably arrange my schedule to fit your pets’ needs! While I do not board, I am regularly available to stay overnight to house/pet sit! I understand how important it is to build trust between pet owners and sitters as well as between the pets themselves and their sitters! I am detail oriented and will check with you to make sure I understand your pet and their needs, and I love to send updates and photos to check in with owners!

“Kameryn was terrific! Extremely reliable, always on time, and she handled our big knuckleheads with ease. They took to her right away and were very polite, and that’s saying something! She was readily available on a moment’s notice, and really came through for us in our moment of emergency need. We will for sure be hiring her again and again. No need to look further!”

“Sally was amazing! I needed someone to walk my puppies at the last minute, and she responded so quickly. She arrived on time, was very knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel comfortable. Both of my puppies loved her during our meet and greet, including my more skittish rescue whom I recently adopted. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Deija, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—small mammals like hamsters and ferrets, big mammals like dogs and cats, and reptiles ranging from tiny geckos to large snakes and lizards. I’m a very kind, patient, and gentle person, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. No matter their size, personality, or needs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m reliable, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your companion! I am an online schooler so I can watch your pet every minute that I need too .I also don’t work and only focus on school so your pet will have my undivided attention just like school does for me ! I care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment so your pet feels secure and cared for. I follow your routine exactly—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions—because consistency matters. I spend plenty of one-on-one time giving attention, enrichment, and comfort, and I’m always gentle and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries.

“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up with two dogs, three cats, and five hamsters, so there’s never been a dull moment! My Beagle, Argos, was my first best friend. He was full of energy, and we were practically inseparable! I also cared for him through his senior years, which taught me so much about patience and understanding older pets. Then came Sumo, our Chow Chow, who was the complete opposite! He acted more like a cat, loved his independence, and enjoyed long walks. I’ve also cared for my neighbor’s Pit Bull and a family member’s Australian Shepherd. I’ve even traveled all the way to Amsterdam to dog sit for family! I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters with both cats and dogs, where I gained experience working with stressed and nervous animals and learned how important patience and a gentle approach can be. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Big or small, I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, and I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and have completely open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their routine! I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your furry friends can safely run around, play, and get plenty of exercise! Outdoor playtime is always supervised, so your pet will never be left outside alone. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or just relaxing and giving them lots of cuddles! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’ll follow their usual feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your furry friend feels just as loved and cared for as they would with you. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day so you know they’re in good hands!

About: Senior pets are my specialty. I’m a pet mom to a 16 year old diabetic senior kitty who is my world. He receives insulin twice a day so I have experience administering injections. This isn’t just a gig for me, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and I truly take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I keep pet parents at ease by providing updated as well as maintaining open and honest communication so you’ll never have to worry about what your pet is doing. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of time to dedicate. My schedule is very flexible and open to same day bookings. My cats follow the same daily routine. They eat soft food twice a day and receive medications twice a day. I have 2 friendly cats whom have grown up around dogs their whole lives. I have also fostered 2 cats for a year.

I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home.

I know how important it is to keep pets safe and active while you are away, so I tailor our walks to your dog’s specific energy level.Our home is a warm, family-friendly space where your pup will be treated just like one of our own. I provide regular photo updates and transparent communication so you always have total peace of mind. I can't wait to meet your kid-friendly pup for some fun and exercise!

During walks, I strictly follow your preferred routes, use secure leashes, and practice positive reinforcement. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your established routine: feeding on time, refreshing water, administering any needed medications, and providing plenty of play and affection. Before leaving, I always double-check that your home is secure, the pup is settled, and I send you a detailed update with photos.

About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.

Even when walking with them, I continuously interact by talking and encouraging them. This is not your typical mass daycare where the majority sign up as many babies as possible to generate the most income, all the while most are ignored or left to their own vices to provide themselves with their own socialization and care. This is a boutique individualized daycare which means only 4-5 at the very omost daily as the ultimate goal is to enrich and foster love in the daily life of your baby. To provide safety, 1:1 care and genuine enriched intellectual fun and stimulation only a very small group are accepted. I am covid vaccinated and up to date booster along with the flu vaccine. My apartment is kept clean, sanitized, safe, child proof and doggie proof! And no, I have no “human children” but I do have a fur baby of my own and safety is my number one priority

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 Pelham. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pelham after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.
