“5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.”
“Thank you Caroline for being available last minute! She was able to handle my crazy, energetic pitbull with ease and also took great photos! Would highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds back in my country, Georgia. I fed and took care of many feral dogs as well as domestic. Over the last two years, I've assisted my partner in her dog walking endeavors and have learned a lot about their behaviors. I'm very strong and can make sure your dog will be safe and active with me, if needed. I have experience with different breeds including the Caucasian Shepherd, large mixes and apartment breeds. My schedule is very flexible so I have open availability at the moment. I'm looking forward to walking your pup any time, any day. I have a yard at home and a puppy and cats to keep them company. My partner is also usually home to care for them if I need to be anywhere. Whether at mine or yours, I will follow their schedule and make sure your pup is thriving.
“We found a very wonderful and professional new friend for our Dudley, in Arianna. She takes extra strides, most of the time to be ahead of schedule and followed through our ‘baby’s’ needs, and our requests. She goes beyond the fun walk, and our Dudley looks forward for her morning walks. TYSM Ari! We are looking forward to next week.”
About: I’ve been passionately caring for dogs since I was 13 years old. Over the years, I’ve fostered and adopted multiple dogs, specializing in communication-based training, housebreaking, and custom communication techniques. I’ve successfully trained dogs to express their needs clearly—whether signaling to go outside, asking for water, or communicating when it's mealtime! Currently, I balance my college studies with working professionally as a dog handler. Because of my professional background in canine behavior and training, I understand how dogs think, learn, and communicate. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, high-energy playtime, or just a calm, confident handler while you're away, they will be in expert hands. Current Fall Schedule (August – December) I balance professional training and college courses, which keeps my routine structured and consistent. I am available for bookings on specific days each week: Morning Shift Days (Work 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Fully available for afternoon walks, drop-ins, evening visits, and overnight house sitting starting after 2:30 PM. Evening Shift Days (Work 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Available for early morning walks, breakfast drop-ins, and mid-day visits up until 1:00 PM. Overnight House Sitting: Available regularly! As long as your dog can be left comfortably during my work/class hours, I provide full overnight care, evening exercise, and morning routines. Winter & Spring Availability (Starting January) Beginning in December, my college semester ends and my availability expands significantly. I will have full, open availability alongside my standard work shifts for drop-ins, walks, and boarding/sitting. When staying at or visiting a client's home, safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog happy and comfortable are my top priorities: Potty Breaks & Routine Maintenance: I stick strictly to your pet's established routine for outdoor breaks, feeding times, and bedtime to keep their environment feeling familiar and stress-free. Appetite & Engagement Solutions: If a dog is feeling anxious or hesitant to eat in a new routine, I use low-impact playtime, light exercise, or gentle mental stimulation to help them settle in, relax, and get their digestive system moving naturally. Home Security & Respect: I treat your home with total respect—keeping doors securely locked, maintaining a clean space, and following all specific instructions regarding gated areas, crate routines, or security systems. Constant Communication & Updates: You will receive regular photo updates, routine check-ins, and immediate communication so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. (Note: I currently do not offer boarding services inside my own home, focusing 100% of my attention on on-site house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking.)
“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!”
“Jorge is truly the best sitter in the world! I am so appreciative of his last-minute flexibility and for always bringing a little puppy friend along when he’s with our dog. I have nothing but praise , five stars”
“After my original dog walker no-showed for the walk-through that had been confirmed 8 hrs prior, I was in a pickle. We had 3 days to find someone to walk & feed our 3 dogs of varying ages and personalities. Kristine not only was available, she came to the walk through prepared with all the right questions to put us at ease. Jacqi, Caryn and Stevie can be a lot for anyone but she handled 8 days like a pro who genuinely cared. And to top it off we received at least 5 photos from every visit. We returned after a week away to happy and well cared for dogs and Kristine is the reason why. If you ever need a pet sitter, look no further!”

“Tenielle is always great but on this visit she couldn’t get into our house because we messed up the key situation. She waited an extra 15-20 minutes for a friend of ours to come over with a key. She still walked our dogs for the full thirty minutes. We appreciate Tenielle and the effort she made to ensure our dogs were walked.”
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 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.
“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!”

“Philip was great and able to fill in last minute. I'd attempted to use his services previously a few times but did not work out due to schedules. Ripley was okie dokie and all was great.”
“Justin really helped us out when he walked our (sometimes stubborn and very strong) dog 2x a day for two weeks when we couldn’t walk him. He was communicative and good to work with! We would book with him again. Thank you Justin!”
“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”

She was absolutely amazing with Oreo and went above and beyond! She spent extra time with him, made sure he had fresh water, played with him, gave him his licking mat, and kept me updated the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was getting so much attention and love while I was away. I truly appreciate everything she did and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐶
Amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He did everything I asked and took such great care of Oreo. He changed his pads, fed him, gave him fresh water, and spent time playing with him. He even went above and beyond by putting Oreo’s sweater on him before taking him out. 🥹🐶❤️ He was very attentive and reliable, and I felt so much better knowing Oreo was in good hands while I was away. I’ll definitely be contacting him again for future walks and drop-ins!
Veronika is fantastic! Super responsive, and an enthusiastic dog lover. She handled our two pitties rescues beautifully, even though the younger one can get a little reactive with other dogs. She has been incredibly reliable and communicative, and a real joy to my dogs and my elderly mom at home. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
It was our first time having Victoria walk our Toby since we were getting home late, and she was amazing! She was very communicative, considerate, and professional. We really appreciated how much care she showed—not only for Toby, but for our home as well. She took lots of photos of Toby and his activities and left us detailed notes about their time together, which gave us such peace of mind. Thank you so much, Victoria! We’ll definitely be reaching out again. Until next time! 😊
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!
Jill was absolutely fantastic. She walked our Chihuahua, Mocha, for several days a week over about a month while my wife and I were both working, and she was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring throughout. Mocha can be anxious around new people and situations, but Jill was patient with her and quickly earned her trust. She always followed our instructions, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by giving attention to our two cats as well, which we really appreciated. Knowing Mocha was in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during the workday. We were sad to see her leave to return to college, but we’re very grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker. Thank you, Jill!
I highly recommend Tatiana. She is always punctual, pleasant, and wonderful with my anxious dog, Bud. He genuinely looks forward to his walks with her. Tatiana is attentive, caring, and keeps me updated on any concerns she notices during their walks. Her reliability and communication give me great peace of mind, and I’m very impressed with the care she provides.

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 a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
