“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”
“Cristina has been really great with our dog Casey! She’s punctual and always takes pictures for us to see. Cristina takes Casey on walks all over our neighborhood and makes sure she gets exercise and let’s Casey sniff.”
About: I've had pets for nearly my entire life, and I've become a true animal lover as a result. I care for animals with the compassion and patience that they deserve. I have years of experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Dogs, cats, exotic birds, and reptiles are among the animals I've had the pleasure of caring for. I work on a schedule that I make myself, so generally speaking there is no time that I can't make work to take care of your pet! I take your trust in me to come to your home very seriously, so I like to make sure that I'm transparent and open with exactly how I care for your pets. I will clean up any mess, give them any medicine necessary, and do anything else necessary to make you comfortable with me being there!
About: My lifelong love for animals began growing up visiting farms, which taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to animal’s needs. I worked at an animal hospital for over a year, assisting veterinarians with administering medications to dogs and cats. I also handled the boarding and daily care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and geckos. I was trained to properly feed, monitor, bathe, and exercise over 100 pets per day. This hands-on medical and boarding experience allows me to provide a higher level of care, safety. I adore senior doggies and cats and the puppies and kittens are the funniest! I maintain a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available in the evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays after 7 PM, have midday and evening availability on Tuesdays, and can provide care in the mornings and evenings on Thursdays and Fridays. I am fully available on weekends, which allows for extended care, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience working in an animal hospital taught me how to carefully follow routines, notice small changes in behavior, and handle pets gently in their own space. I treat every home with respect and stick to each pet’s usual schedule and owners requests, whether that’s feeding, medications, litter care, or walks. I’m trained to give medications and I always take my time to make sure everything is done correctly and calmly. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make sure to send updates, photos, and notes after visits. My goal is to keep pets relaxed and happy while giving pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring hands.
“The pups love Marcela! She is very kind and very familiar with how to handle dogs. I have a 25lbs and 70lbs dog and she treats them very well and always gives me a great report on how their visit with her went. I trust her to come by when I’m not home, go in, and love on my dogs the way they deserve. :)”
“There's something about her - my dog just instantly loved her. He loves everyone, but with Leah it was more of a calm "oh yeah" than his normal manic excitement over guests. She's a gem. She is communicative and reliable, putting my mind at ease.”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have cared for all different breeds and sizes of dogs over the years. I grew up with large and small dogs and have pet sit for coworkers with large dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. I recently lost my soul dog to hemangiosarcoma and want to make a difference for other dogs and provide the care they need. I just do not have it in my heart to remove her from my profile just yet. My girl had special needs such as leash/barrier reactivity, aggression, and a bite history prior to adopting her. I am comfortable working with dogs with those needs as well. She had taken several medications over the years and I am comfortable giving pet meds. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday, I am usually available on weekends. I would also be willing to board dogs during the days that I work as I don’t work too far from home. I have a fenced back yard to play in and an XXL crate or a dog bed for dogs who require those sleeping arrangements. I am a dogs on furniture household for those who like to sleep on the couch.
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover for more than 20 years and caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with a wide variety of personalities and breeds, including Boxers, Pomeranians, Peek-a-Poms, Chihuahuas, Chorkies, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Schnauzers. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned from puppyhood through adulthood, including basic obedience, crate training, leash walking, fetch, potty training, and bell training. That experience taught me that every dog learns differently, and that patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding a dog’s individual personality go a long way. I’m comfortable with everything from the energetic puppy who wants to play all day to the dog who would rather curl up beside you and keep you company. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, routines, and the little things that help a dog feel secure and comfortable in a new environment. My goal isn’t simply to “watch” your dog... it’s to make them feel safe, loved, included, and comfortable while you’re away. My experience extends well beyond dogs, too. I’ve owned and cared for Parakeets, Cockatiels, a Mitred Conure, African Grey, Moluccan Cockatoo, and Yellow-Nape Amazon. Caring for these very different animals has given me an appreciation for how important it is to respect each pet’s unique temperament, routine, communication style, and needs. What I bring to your pet: -20+ years of hands-on pet ownership and care -Experience with multiple breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities -Puppy-to-adult experience with training and basic obedience -Comfortable reinforcing established commands, crate routines, leash manners, and potty routines -A calm, patient approach that prioritizes positive reinforcement -Plenty of play, exercise, attention, affection, and companionship -Close attention to your pet’s normal routine and individual personality -Understanding that some pets need adventure and activity, while others need a quiet place to relax -Experience caring for both dogs and companion birds -Most importantly, genuine love for animals and not just a love of the Rover job When your dog stays with me, they’re not being treated like a guest... they’re being welcomed like family! ❤️🐾 As a retired U.S. Navy Veteran, I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pets in my care. Animals naturally fit into my daily routine, from morning walks and playtime to companionship, feeding, training reinforcement, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy an active lifestyle and genuinely appreciate having dogs as part of my everyday life. Whether your pet is staying in my home, enjoying a drop-in visit, or joining me for a walk, I provide personalized, attentive care built around their routine, personality, and comfort level. I'm dependable, responsible, and able to give your pet plenty of time and attention. -Boarding: While staying in my home, they'll have access to a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and supervised time outside. They'll also have a friendly, senior Chihuahua companion to keep them company. -Drop-Ins: I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and affection they need. -Walks: I focus on safe enjoyable exercise while reinforcing good leash manners (if needed), and allowing ample time for your dog to sniff, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual and strive to make them feel safe and loved!
“Isabella is great! She's very responsive, flexible to help with added walks on unexpected days that pop up during the week, and she takes extra special care of my pup who can be stubborn at times and sensitive to heat. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up with pets and currently living with family dogs, including two adults and four puppies has given me hands-on experience with all stages of a dog's life. As an active youth soccer coach and language teacher, my approach to dog walking centers entirely on safety, patience, and clear communication. When I am out on a walk with your pup, my focus is 100% on them. I am highly vigilant about my surroundings, ensuring we avoid busy traffic, unleashed animals, or items on the sidewalk they shouldn't eat. I am incredibly patient with dogs that love to pause and sniff, and I have the stamina to keep up with high-energy breeds that need a faster pace. You can always count on receiving detailed updates and photos after every single walk so you know exactly how your dog's outing went! Because I work as a language teacher and youth soccer coach, my days are structured around distinct, predictable blocks of time. This structure allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my morning window (6:00 AM – 11:00 AM) and my midday window (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM) before my evening practices start. I update my Rover calendar weekly to align perfectly with my teaching lessons and coaching sessions. This ensures that when I am booked for a walk, I have zero outside distractions and can dedicate my full attention to your dog's exercise and safety. Since I only offer dog walking services, I focus entirely on providing exceptional care at the client's home. Before entering, I carefully review the owner's entry instructions to ensure the home remains secure. Once inside, I greet the dog calmly, properly secure their collar or harness, and double-check that the leash is safely attached. After our walk, I ensure the dog has fresh water, wipe their paws if needed, and securely lock the client's door exactly as requested. I always send a detailed Rover card update with photos before leaving.
“Katie saved us in a pinch. I Threw out my back and now am hobbling recovering plus juggling WFH responsibilities...I was worried about how my dog will release energy. Katie relieved me of my worries! She is incredibly responsive and kind. Our dog, Kato, is now fast asleep after an hour long walk with Katie! Thank you so so much.”
“Melissa was so patience, gentle and kind to my American Bulldog while I was away at the beach for the week. She took things slowly with him, understanding that he's not trusting of all humans. In turn, Otis warmed up to her very quickly, which made my vacation so much more relaxing! She made sure he had everything he needed, and gave him lots of praise and love. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood. She is timely and thoughtful - sending periodic photos to check-in on his well-being and responding to any inquiries with minutes. To put it plainly, she deserves five stars — would absolutely recommend!”
About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.

This was our first time using Rover and Kyle was fantastic! He came to meet our dogs prior to the official first walk and they loved him. I was notified when he started/ended the walk as well as receiving pictures and the amount of #1/#2s that they had. Highly recommend him and looking forward to their reoccurring walks with him!
Leah has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for our pup!! I was so impressed with her professionalism from the start and she has been so consistent and thorough in providing the best care for our dog. She is a great communicator and you can tell she really cares about taking care of animals. She has put my mind at ease on a daily basis knowing my pup is receiving the best treatment and attention. I could not recommend Leah enough!

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 .

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.
