“She is the BEST! She comes over twice a week to play with my girls since I work long hours. She always sends me updates and lots of pictures for me. She cares so much about my pups and always makes sure they get to go potty and play at the park on her visits. I also love how she makes sure the ground isn't too hot before walking them and keeping me updated through the day. She is also extremely responsive and never leaves me waiting. I wouldnt want anyone else walking my girls!”

“Shawnee did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She was flexible when we had last-minute changes and spent a good amount of time with our dog. I would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Perfect communication! Highly recommended. I’m from out of state and visiting and trusted April to walk our dog while we were away at Disney. She sent his report with pictures and totally made my day at Disney much better.”

About: Use code ANAG68736 to get $20 off your first booking! As a dog mom of two, I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. Dogs in my care are treated like family not like they’re at a kennel. They are free to relax around the house, cuddle, play, and be part of our daily routine. I do not crate dogs unless specifically requested by the owner, and guest dogs sleep in our room alongside our own dogs so they feel comfortable, secure, and never alone. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours and receive constant supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, affection, and personalized care based on their individual needs and personalities. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs can always be separated if your pup prefers their own space. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain a calm and clean environment, and provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is with us. I truly care for every dog as if they were my own, and I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free from the moment you book with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your pet will never be left unattended for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are well-socialized; they can always be separated if your pet prefers solo space. I follow all owner instructions closely, use leashes on walks, and maintain a calm, clean environment. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, responsible care with constant supervision.
“Elizabeth was great with my dog! Kept me updated on how my girl was and very patient with her as my dog was a little nervous at first when she got there for her walk. I received a picture of my girl and even an update on my cat! I will definitely rebook for her to come see my dog for a walk!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with Beau while I was away! 🐾💕 She treated him as if he were her own and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. She was attentive, dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Shannon sent so many sweet pictures and videos, kept me updated, and even surprised Beau with a squeaky toy 🥹. It was so clear how genuinely she cares for animals, and Beau looked so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. I truly could not have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly trust her again. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable pet care. Thank you again for taking such incredible care of my sweet boy! 🥰”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats since growing up and know how to properly care for them. I know that dogs can be a handful and with busy work/life schedules I know it can be difficult to give them all your attention. With me, your dog will be given plenty of exercise with walks and play! If they require any special attention (medication, grooming, specific food etc) just let me know and I will be sure to make sure they receive the extra care that they need. I have a dog myself in my home that I care for. She is an 7 year old pit bull mix named Minnie. She is super sweet and loves to play. The reason I cannot do dog boarding in my home is because she is shy with other dogs and I don’t want her being uncomfortable or scared in her own home! Over time if she comes out of her shell I would consider dog boarding in my home. For now just walks and drop ins will do. I am available right now for drop ins and walks. I have a very flexible schedule so any time of the day works for me. I live in an apartment currently so my own dog Minnie goes on plenty of walks to get her exercise in. I love going for walking and meeting new dogs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 and have been pet and house sitting for the last 10 years. I love taking energetic pups on long walks or playing fetch in a secure yard, and I’m equally comfortable creating cozy spaces for senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own (one large, one medium), and I’m experienced with administering medications—even to picky ones who need a creative touch. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters off and on since 2020 and have worked with reactive and anxious dogs who may require extra time to warm up to strangers. I love spending time with both dogs and cats, and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a full‑time freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day between 8 AM and 11 PM, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit. My open schedule also allows me to accommodate last‑minute bookings, so you can count on me even when plans change unexpectedly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the routines your cats and dogs already know so they feel secure and comfortable. I follow your feeding, walking, play, and litter box instructions, keep their spaces clean, and make sure your home stays tidy and secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether that’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or anything in between—and I work to make every visit calm, safe, and stress‑free.

Kristina is great! She's very good with Teddy but she's also very responsive, timely, and reliable. I a very last minute, no plan kinda person and if she is free she will come in a flash. While my husband is injured I've relied on her help to make sure my very young and active pitbull is walked and exercised. Kristina has been a blessing! Thank you!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
