About: I have had pets all of my life, and I have helped take care of them from puppies to seniors. I have applied that knowledge into my professional work as well. I can feed and bathe pets, walk, and administer pills. I have previously worked with dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies. I am also close to several animal shelters and help socialize, walk, help with adoptions, and foster when needed. I am currently working as a contract worker, so I have free time and flexibility to take care of your fur babies! I take care of my own personal kitty cat, but other than that I am completely free to take care of your fur kids. When caring for animals at a client's home, I make sure to find out any and all safety features or precautions needed for their pets. I try to make sure the pets stay on their schedule, including any routines they may have such as walking a certain path, going out a specific door, etc.
About: I work in a rescue clinic where I have developed skills like administering medication, working with all ages from newborns to seniors, and working with animals of all sizes! I have owned a variety of pets over the years, and have had them from newborns up to 20 yrs old. My years of caring for animals includes everything from daily care, medications, subcutaneous fluids, special needs animals, fostering cats & dogs, and just about everything in between. My current role with a group I work with is TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) of feral & community cats, as well as working in the vet clinic. The spicy kitties and scared doggies are some of my favorites because they need patience, compassion, and a different approach than a typical pet. From the furry & fuzzy animals to the scaly & slithering, they are all welcome in my life! I would love to meet your babies and help you feel good knowing they are loved and cared for during your time away. I am not available on Tuesdays since that is the day I work in a rescue vet clinic. Every day I care for my personal pets, and would love to add your fur babies to my days. At this time, I'm not available to care for your pets in my home but I would be happy to recommend facilities that can care for your pets.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and their innocence. I am reliable and sweet to them at all times! I am currently working a part time job and my hours fluctuate, but I still have a flexible schedule to dog walk either when I get off or before work! I have a shih tzu at home who is a very calm dog. I feed her twice a day with blood pressure meds. She might already be tired of how much love I show her every second of the day!
“Catecha really stepped in for us while in a bind due to last minute work trips and my overnight work schedule. Diesel loves walks, so I know he was excited for a morning one. Thanks again!”
“Our Eli loves Karen and we trust her with our precious little boy. She’s always on time and takes the time to make sure Eli is cared for and settled before she leaves. Thank you, Karen!”
“Naomi was great. My baby loved her. At an extremely last minute notice, she saved the day while I was out of town on an emergency. I could she my baby girl smiling as Naomi had her by my remote door camera. We will definitely use her again.”
“My dogs absolutely loved Heather! She was super sweet and very accommodating with very short notice. I will definitely use her again to walk my fur babies when I have to go out of town. Thanks so much, Heather!”
“Elizabeth was great....in communication, early arriving (for military people, on time), able to successfully walk my 3 dogs. She is what my dogs and I both needed.”
About: Hey fur parents, I just wanted to come on here and provide a 5 star service to you and your fur baby! Here’s a little bit about me… I’ve pet sat, walked pets, administered medication to many pets that require it on a day to day basis (via orally and injection), and many drop-in visits for a little over 5 years now to highly anxious, aggressive, and elderly animals. I’ve also worked it the veterinary field assisting doctors to provide hands on care to your fur baby for a little over a year now. I’m also in with the AKC. I compete with dogs in conformation, agility, dock diving, scent work, and barn hunt etc. and have been doing that for about a year with all types of breeds and sizes. I have always had a special connection with dogs and all animals for that matter and enjoy every second I can get with any of them. I look forward to doing some pet sitting or walking for you and your fur baby! I work part-time at the veterinary clinic (2 times a week for 5 hours a day) which gives me plenty of time during the week to play with your precious fur baby! I’m also a college student who has recently switched to online classes giving me even more time with your pet! I have a fenced in yard for endless potty breaks and plenty of play area! I have two loving Labrador retriever’s dogs to bring your pet a buddy to play endless tug of war with or if your pet isn’t on the energetic side just a good ole snuggle buddy! 😁
“Mitchell was a natural with Sunny! He was comfortable walking our big guy, had great communication, excellent availability, and always on time. We know Sunny has a friend for walks when Mitchell is around. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 from friends and family, I’ve always loved dogs, but my parents weren’t really a fan of them, now that I move in to my own house, that has plenty of space for dogs to run and play I’d love to take care of your pets as if they were my own I’m a stay at home mom of 2 girls and 1 baby boy, I’m all day at home almost every single day of the week I have a fenced yard, my backyard it’s kind of unusual, it’s like a double fenced yard, one for my house and behind that is another fenced yard for my husbands horses, so if you’d like your dog to have some kind of farm experience they can be on both yards, but if you preferred for your dog to stay away from the horses that can be too

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

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.

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 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.
