“Had to go on a cruise and left my two fur babies in the care of my in-laws. While they were able to feed and pamper them they are no longer of the age where they can walk two large dogs. That’s where Krystal came in came. I’ve been told my dogs quickly learn to recognize the sound of Krystal’s vehicle and when they heard her pull in the drive way the dogs would run to the front door eagerly waiting for her arrival. I’ve been told now that I’m back that I need to keep Krystal as the dogs loved her so much. I really appreciated getting updates every evening with pictures of the dogs including the route they took, how far and how long they walked. All this was sent via email and text which was good as I was not receiving text messages (I could still communicate with Krystal via email). Overall a very positive experience.”
About: I am a 4th year vet student! With my animal skills and passion for animals I believe I am qualified to take care of your pets and their needs! I’m a current student at OSU CVM. Clinical rotations vary week to week, so my availability also varies. Please reach out if you’re interested in booking with me! Please message if you have any questions or need to book a service for your pets! :) I’m happy to help in any way I can.
About: I’ve always been asked to take to take care of a friend or family member’s dog many times. I honestly love to help out and of course getting to love on their dog/cat!I have also taken a 4 month internship at a veterinary clinic taking care and cleaning up after many cats and dogs! Loved all the sweet animals that came through! I am a college student with classes MW with classes that only last for about an hour or two with plenty of time in my day to spend time with your fur babies!! I have a fenced yard with one dog of my own! She can easily be put up if needed but is so sweet! I have an extra dog bed already (that gets cleaned) from when I take care of my friends or family’s pets! Lola has plenty of treats and toys i’m sure she would love to share!
About: We’re a loving, dependable couple who truly believe pets are family. We have noticed that every time we try to go on a trip, we struggle with finding someone to watch our fur babies and we want to fill a gap for anyone else experiencing the same thing. We have years of experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, we’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My husband and I both work from home with flexible schedules, so we have someone available throughout the day. This allows us to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. We can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. We treat every pet like part of our family and prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. We take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, medications, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In your home, we respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. Our goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I currently work for a local animal hospital, I previously worked at an animal shelter, and I frequently volunteer with other local rescues! Also, I am attending college to become a registered veterinary technician! Altough I do currently work full time, but with lots of flexibility so I have plenty of availability to meet you and your pets needs! I have several years of experience working with animals of all different personalities. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I can adapt my approach to fit their needs!
About: I have over a decade of experience professionally pet sitting. I absolutely love animals and will give your furry friend the best care. I also am a photographer and will take lots of photos of your fur baby while you’re away! Great photos are just part of the package! 😉 I’ve taken care of pets my entire life. Growing up we always had cats and dogs in the home. I once even did a power point presentation at the age of 8 to convince my parents to let me get my own puppy (they did). Additionally, I grew up on a farm with pigs, cows, chickens, horse, etc. so I know compassion for animals of all kinds. Animals are a huge passion of mine. I work from home, so I am home nearly 24hrs a day /7 days a week to give your pets the love they deserve. We love to take walks! We live in a walk friendly neighborhood that pets love! I make your keys my priority, always! I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood with lots of places to walk and run around in the gated community. I can follow whatever routine you follow at home.

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 Porter. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
