“Emily has been walking my dog for 2 years now, I believe I was actually her 1st client ever, and I’m so beyond happy that one day when I was in a bind and going to be working late with no one that could walk Marley, I found Emily on Rover, saw she was in nursing school (I’m also a nurse) and knew she’d be a good choice, best decision I’ve ever made for my pup. Even now that she’s a full time RN, she will still try to make time for Marley if she can. She’s now not only my dog walker but also a friend to both Marley and myself. I usually have bad luck in general, but damn I got lucky with Emily! Highly recommend ❤️”
About: New to Rover! I have 20+ years, like most of you, taking care of dogs (all ages & size) walking, training & loving. Raised in Rochester & know all the best parks & trails. I have an SUV and don’t mind taking the dogs places if requested. Night shift worker during the week, I make lots of time for my puppy at home and would love to make time for your dog during the day. I’m available all days of the week, unfortunately that doesn’t mean I’m available all the time but can make time each day of the week if necessary. Just reach out, your odds are high that I can help I know how important pets are to everyone’s family and will treat yours like you do at home, or better :) Learning your dogs behavior is a key to success, the more information the better (behavior around dogs, people, children, chewing, barking) to know if they are acting different in any way. I get excited each time I meet new parents of dogs, i wouldn’t trust some nobody with my dog unless I got to know them first, I am in my mid twenties and have lived in pittsford/penfield for most of life, I do not drink if that matters to you, I’d say based off appearance I look pretty clean unless it’s cold out then you may only be seeing what’s visible under my hood or hat. I’m well educated in the do’s and don’ts on what is safe and unsafe for dogs and puppies to accidentally eat. Coming from a family that has dealt with Lyme Disease I take precaution in where my dogs are roaming, and always checking my puppy and past dogs constantly for ticks
“Amanda makes my dogs day he’s so happy thank you for taking such great care of my boy and giving him his treat.. we’ll book with you again *****five star dog sitter*****”
“Robert was great with Lulu and would recommend his walking services. He was on time, texted me updates and photos throughout their walks. I appreciate that he came to meet me and lulu in person before the scheduled walks to get acquainted with her and her routine. Thanks again Robert!”
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”

About: First off, I am a licensed veterinary technician since 2019. My standards are high for my own animals as well as yours. I have the skills required to take care of a wide range of animals. I am confident in my ability to care for animals. I do not care for dogs under 1 year old. I do not care for untrained dogs. Pet care is my job. I take care of the animals during the requested time. If I'm staying overnight, I take care of your pets and home. I leave and come back as I need. I follow what the client would like me to do. We would meet, you would share the appropriate information and I would follow that. As it says, this will depend on what service you need. We can discuss this at a later time.
“Jayden did an excellent job helping care for Maisy while we were away! She was reliable, walked her a good distance each time, and communicated very well. When we came back from a long trip, Maisy was in good spirits and it was clear she was well cared for. Thank you Jayden! We will definitely reach out again when the need arises.”

I am available for pet feedings, drop ins, letting out your dog out, or taking them for a walk. Whatever is needed for your pet, I will be able to offer :)

I have plenty of area to walk around with your dog as well as a few parks around if they are more active and love long walks.
About: I provide care for dogs in various formats such as sitting, walking, and boarding and more. If your dog likes to pick up the pace during a walk I am sure to match it, as I experienced this with a German Shepherd. Through experience, I assisted the Mini Dachshund on my profile in developing his skill of rolling over on command. I will value getting to know you and your dog. I know that with my experience with numerous dog breeds, I am a good fit for the services I offer. I will take care of and love your dog as if they are mine. I have flexibility with my schedule and am able to drive to your dogs appointments if as needed. If your dog has closer interval schedules or attention needs for health, I have the availability. I will care for your pets according to the discussed schedule and will follow that throughout the booking and or if the client wants to provide a sheet for the information.

Sophia is wonderful! We are very pleased with the care she provides for our dog, Lilly. She is reliable, kind, and very thoughtful. Sophia checks in with questions and pays close attention to detail to ensure Lilly receives the best care. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her.
Our mini Aussiedoodle Luna is a full of energy and it’s always a little bit anxious when meeting new people, we can not said enough on how Stephanie and Dan were able to get her comfortable with the idea in so short time. Needles to said, what wanted to have was peace knowing that we were leaving her behind for a weekend. And that’s exactly what we got leaving Luna to their care.

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 Penfield. 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.

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 .
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.
