“Jeff was fantastic with the Whippets, always went above and beyond the time limit of the daily walks. Much appreciate the help during the two weeks vacation, it was very comforting not to worry about the dogs. Thank you!”
“Holly is amazing! She is incredibly patient and loving with my shy rescue pup. Holly also has great communication with me, gives lots of updates, and goes above and beyond to take good care of my dog. We are repeat customers and recommend her to friends!”
About: I grew up with 4 family dogs and now have a senior boxer/lab of my own. My baby and I have been together for 10 years and I also cared for a cat for about 5. I have reptile experience too! I’m a part-time student and am happy to communicate and work out a schedule that works for your pet. My classes are all in the morning and then I’m pretty open for the rest of the day! I cannot bring any animals to my place as my dog would not appreciate that, however I am happy to spend as much time needed on walks or at the pets home!
About: I have been taking care of a wide variety of pets my whole life with my personal pets. I have personally had dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and guinea pigs. I started pet sitting/walking for family friends in high school and have continued pet sitting for clients all through undergrad and vet school. I am currently a first year vet student at OSU! I don’t have any personal pets of my own so I enjoy dog walking and pet sitting to get my animal time in! I currently don’t have a job for the summer so I will have lots of availability at all times of the day to walk your dog! For pet sitting I also have a wide range of availability throughout the summer! I always prioritize safety on walks by using secure leashing, avoiding unsafe situations, and paying close attention your dogs behavior and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a slower pace, I adjust to fit their needs! During dog sitting I really focus on maintaining your pets normal routine, giving them lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I keep you updated with photos so you don’t have to wonder about what your pet is up to!
About: With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, which has helped me develop a strong ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether it's providing a fun walk, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. My priority is always their well-being, and I work hard to create a positive, stress-free environment for every dog in my care. I am a student at Oregon State University but that leaves me with a good amount of extra time for pet care. Not only does it come easy for me, I absolutely love caring for animals whether it is my own or other pet owners. In my client's home, I tend to be an overcommunicator. I am always letting my client know when I am coming and going or when I am in for the night. I also love to send plenty of pictures. I always think that I would want my service and care to reflect how I would want my own pets to be treated.
About: My neighbors and friends have been relying on me for care of their furry friends since I was nine. From all sizes of dogs, to cats, fish, and rabbits, I have experience with all kinds on animals. I’m happy to learn unique routines that benefit your pet. I love spending time with them, whether petting, playing, or simply keeping them company, so you know they’ll get the best quality care! I’m currently working a part time job, so will have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals. I have availability most weekdays, weekends, and holidays this summer. I always clean up after your animals, including litter boxes and food and water bowls as needed. I’m also willing to bring in packages and garbage cans and will always be respectful of being in your home.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and have worked with dogs from energetic puppies to older dogs that need more care and other medications. I’ve also been a dog and cat sitter for my neighbors. I am currently a junior in college so my schedule can be busy but I can usually make room every few hours in between and after classes I also work a couple nights a week but anywhere in between I’m pretty flexible. I cannot house any dogs in my home overnight, but if needed I can have them over during the day! I can give regular potty breaks and necessary walks when needed. Since I am a student full time I cannot travel further the 20-30 minutes during the week and up to an hour on weekends.
About: I've lived with my dog, Avery, for about 10 years back home, have cared for family friends' dogs when needed, have participated in fetch-a-friend multiple times with Heartland Humane Shelter, and I am very comfortable around cats as well. I can provide a very active few days running or walking for your pets, or I can keep them homely company while you are away. Since I have a car, if desired, I can take your pets to the park or just on short car rides. If your pets have any medications required, or specific eating/dosage times, I will make sure to set alarms to stay on time and dependable. My main job right now is DoorDash, so any time you need me to be available is free. My schedule can allow for week-long petcare, if needed, or just a short walk :3 I try my best to be friendly, understanding, and patient with any pets I interact with; if a pet is trying to tell me something, I will pay my best attention! Additionally, if a pet needs some space while adjusting to me or the lack of usual people around, I can provide that space while still keeping an eye on them.
“Isa was great with my dog. She went above and beyond to ensure he was taken care of while I was out of town. Isa communicated a lot and always send updates about walks and how my dog was doing alongside cute images. She made sure that he got attention and even read him stories! I will definitely have Isa watch him again when needed, she is a very trustworthy and wonderful sitter.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I can remember, but what sets me apart for the most part is my experience. I volunteered at Austin Pets Alive for about four years working with reactive dogs. Then I started work as a kennel tech at a boarding facility run by a veterinarian. Now, after earning my degree in Animal Behavior, I work at a veterinary office. This means not only am I trained in behavioral problems but I am very well versed in medical and physical problems as well. I have dealt with countless issues such as seizures, diabetes, paralysis, even cancer treatment. This makes me prepared for every dog that comes my way, and an ability to handle situations no matter the breed, size, or condition the dog is in. I work Monday-Thursday 8-5 but have a lunch break and will be able to check in with animals during the day. Then weekends I am always free. I have heavy emphasis on mental stimulation for dogs, specifically working breeds and higher energy dogs. I’m really good at coming up with new puzzles and activities for dogs to do , so that they feel fully satisfied by the days end. I’m very active myself , so you’ll often find me with a dog on a hiking trail or down at Zilker park. This translates very well if you have a pup who just needs someone to run with them, and treat them to a pupsicle when they are all tuckered out!
About: As a veterinary student and pet lover, I have nearly a decade of professional pet care experience and have cared for animals my entire life. I have experience working as an in-home pet sitter and as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. I’ve cared for animals of all kinds, but I especially love dogs and cats. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I feel comfortable caring for old and sick pets that may require extra patience or expertise. I would love to care for your dogs and cats at any stage of their life! I am typically in class from 8-12 and 1-5, but that leaves me time for early morning, mid-afternoon, or evening drop-ins to take care of your pet! I would love to spend my spare time caring for your furry friends! I am available to watch animals in your home where they are able to feel the most comfortable and maintain their routines as much as possible. I have a car which allows me to reliably travel around town to care for your pets, and I am even happy to take your pup with me on some outdoor adventures if you'd like!
About: My four fur babies are my life, and I know how important your pets are to you. I take pride in providing excellent care and treating your pets as my own — making sure their lives are enriched, they’re safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have experience with puppy-care and have taken puppy training courses. I also am familiar with how to administer oral medication to cats and dogs. My cats are indoor only, and I’m very cautious of pets who might be prone to escape routes. I am experienced with senior pet care. I prioritize pet care throughout the day. I make sure that my cats get daily enrichment, and I believe enrichment is an important part of pet care. I provide a calming environment to animals through presence and proper attention. I will not provide care in my home because I have 4 cats at my home.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have experience in senior and puppy care. I love dogs and have cared for ones of all sizes. I’m currently volunteering so I’ll have plenty of free days and weekends to watch and care for animals. My days are fairly free and I’m open for last second bookings. I have experience in crate training two dogs while providing them with a safe and comfortable experience. I also have a safe fenced yard with two friendly dogs.
“Brandy is so great! We booked her again after a house sit for dog walking. Communicative and no problems at all! We won’t hesitate to keep requesting Brandy for our pup!”
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds and ages, including both puppy training and senior care. I take pride in providing personalized attention to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, while giving owners peace of mind. I have plenty of availability with my current schedule. I have a puppy at home who I need to spend the mornings with, but my afternoons and evenings are wide open. I am a very gently caretaker, but I can be stern when necessary. I am good with training and commands, and I can adapt to a pet’s schedule very easily. I am passionate and loving about pet-care, and I will do all that I can to make your pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade. I have experiencing administering medication as my family dog was diabetic, as well as medications for client’s pets as well. As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your best furry friends! Pet care is an easy fit as I have a hybrid job with extremely flexible hours. I am free throughout the week as well as most weekends! I really do love hanging out with animals, so they receive my full attention!! Safety is a huge priority to having fun and spending time with them, so I remain extremely attentive to make sure they get the best safe care they can!
About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals, I started pet sitting for neighbors around the age of 7. I have a deep love for all animals including reptiles, birds, and spiders! Im in school for psychology, so I have a fairly open schedule and I normally spend a lot of time outdoors anyway and i love to take dogs on walks I am offering multiple walks, feedings, and checkins as needed. I spend a lot of time with my pets, I even have a harness and take my cat on hikes. I have a deep love for animals and I prefer to spend my time with them

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 Philomath. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Philomath after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
