“Let me just say I was hesitant to trust anyone with my sweet girl, but I am so glad I went with Rover. Kat has been wonderful! Maggie took to her instantly. I will be using her from here on out!”
“Sirrine is a very caring, lovely person and she took excellent care of our Hank. She even left ‘pawgress’ reports at the house for us to review when we got home. We’ll be using her again :)”
“Vickie is great. My dog, Bella, adores her. She is personable, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Also, she is familiar with, and does not live far from. the subdivision we live in - The Trace in Kingspoint. I would encourage anyone seeking a dog walker to book with a Vickie.”
About: While I have not professionally taken care of animal, I have always had a dog (specifically pitbulls) in my household since I was a child. I've also house sat for reptiles (lizards and snakes), fish, and cats. ** I will be unavailable for services from August to December while I am on maternity leave** I work full time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible. I can stop in at any time to walk or let them out to use the bathroom, or I can bring my work laptops with me to work from your home if I am needed for extended periods of time. I am also part of the Texas National Guard so every month I will need to go to drills, so weekend availability will change each month. At my dad's house in New York, I always leash our dog when we go for our walks and make sure that we walk through a safe neighborhood or on a hiking trail that's near our house. When outside, I keep an eye on him and make sure that he does not get into anything he shouldn't. I also make sure that if other people are around that he feels comfortable and safe. With my own puppy at home, he has a leash that we use to walk around our complex (they require all dogs to be leashed), but he is naturally good without a leash as well.
About: Hi pet parents! 🤍👋🏽 My name is Gaby - thank you so much for considering me to care for your fur babies while you're away! Animals have been a huge part of my life. I’ve had dogs, birds, guinea pigs, a horse, and have cared for cats. Pets are truly family in our home - birthday parties and all! 😂 I promise to care for your fur baby with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I have two small, friendly, spayed female pups who love welcoming new friends. I also have a two-story home with a guest bedroom and a separate living room, so I can easily keep pets separated if needed. I’m also a mom to a sweet 3 year old who loves learning about and meeting the pets that visit. This job has taught him so much, and he already has such a big heart for animals! 🤍 Because of this, all dogs must be both dog-friendly and kid-friendly. My home sits on over half an acre. While it’s currently unfenced, I’m happy to take your pup on safe, leashed potty breaks with plenty of space to explore! I truly enjoy building long-lasting relationships with my furry guests and their parents. A meet & greet is essential (and free!) - it’s the perfect way for us all to get comfortable before their stay. I look forward to hearing from you. Let’s make your time away completely stress-free! 🤍🐾 This isn’t a “gig” for me - it’s my full-time job and something I’m genuinely passionate about. I also work from home, so I’m typically here throughout the day. If I ever need to step out, I’ll always communicate with you to make sure you’re aware and comfortable. My days are centered around caring for your pet! During walks, I always steer clear of other people and dogs along our path to avoid any unnecessary or potentially dangerous interactions. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. For drop-ins, I follow your instructions and your pet’s routine closely. I make sure they have fresh water, feed them or offer snacks if instructed, ensure they get potty breaks, and clean litter boxes. I’ll also clean up any accidents I see as long as cleaning supplies are left out. Your pet will get plenty of playtime, affection, and any needed medications. I’m also happy to bring in packages if requested. For doggy daycare and boarding, I make sure your pup or cat is properly fed, always has fresh water, gets regular potty breaks, and enjoys lots of fun and enrichment. I’ll check in with you and send updates and photos throughout their stay so you always feel connected and reassured. I do not take more than 2 families at a time to ensure I am providing your pets my full attention!
“Alexa has been a huge help in our busy schedule. My boy Loki enjoyed her company from the time we first had our meet up. She’s great on being on time and works with you. Oooh and our feral cat enjoys popping up for a quick hello which is huge for her to do that. Highly recommend Alexa! Will continue to book her 🐾”
“Really came through for me at the last minute. Professional, polite and courteous and my pup who is otherwise skiddish really loves her and has a ball with her. So happy I found her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have also taken care of guinea pigs, small birds and fish. I have always been an animal lover and have a passion for them. I treat them like my own children. I even have a two dogs and a cat of my own. I believe in treating them with gentleness, kindness and compassion. I am currently a homemaker of an older child. I am available everyday to care for your pets. I can stop by and do potty breaks, walks, playtime etc. I can also spend more time with them to give them company and affection. House sitting with your fur babies is also an option. My husband can take care of the needs at home while I care for your pets. I can offer playtime, medication administration if needed, walks, potty breaks, attention etc. plus any other needs that are special to your fur babies. I can also crate your pet if need be. I pride myself on the safety and protection of all fur babies.
“Meg was amazing!! She was not only great with our pup but also we had an emergency related to entry in our home and she coordinated with my landlord to get it open while we were on the plane. Very grateful for her she was awesome!”
About: I’m excited to welcome and care for your pup in our family home! I provide a loving, comfortable environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. Before becoming a mom, I was a dog mom to two very different pups—a tiny 5-lb terrier and an 80-lb Great Pyrenees/Collie mix—for a little over five years. Having cared for dogs on both ends of the size spectrum, I understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I’d love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me. I will be the sole caretaker for all Rover bookings, and any interactions between pets and my children will always be supervised by me. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks and can also work pet care into my daily routine when caring for a pup in my home. I enjoy getting outside for walks and am happy to follow each dog’s usual walking, feeding, potty, and care routine as closely as possible. Safety and comfort are always a priority. For walks, I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine, keeping their temperament, energy level, and surroundings in mind. When caring for a dog in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for outdoor time and a nearby shaded trail for walks. I have a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old in the home, so it’s important that dogs staying with me are comfortable around children. I will always supervise any interactions between my children and pets in my care. We don’t currently have a dog of our own, and I will be the sole caretaker responsible for all Rover bookings.

April is absolutely amazing! I am always careful about who I leave my dog with, but April immediately gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, so I never had to worry for a second. My dog absolutely adores her, which is the best sign of all. I highly recommend April to anyone looking for a trustworthy person. I will definitely be booking her again!

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.
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.

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.
