“William is wonderful with my dog, who is so excited to see him when he walks through the door. He is diligent, reliable and writes detailed summaries to let me know how my pup did during their walks. I would definitely recommend.”

“Danny is so kind and caring with our 10 month old puppy and makes sure he gets all the love, care, and walks he needs. He is very attentive and flexible to the dog’s needs and so communicative with us.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡
About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog sitter who takes the time to understand each dog’s specific needs and routine. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach depending on their age, energy level, and behavior. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing good habits like basic commands, potty training routines, and appropriate play. I stay consistent with whatever training style the owner prefers to help support their progress. I also have experience with senior care, including giving medications, monitoring mobility, and making sure older dogs stay comfortable and don’t overexert themselves. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior and keep owners updated. I’m patient, observant, and make sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I am a college student at Penn State University and am back for summer, so I’m free everyday and am flexible with timing to fit your needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick to their feeding, walking, and care instructions while making sure the pet gets plenty of attention and exercise.
“Sonia was very sweet and calm with our golden retriever who gets scared of loud noises like big trucks. She is flexible with schedule changes and reliable. We would definitely book her again!”
“Great great great dog walker! I have to book a dog walker last minute with a family emergency and Lisa is so helpful! I have a young kid and very occupied the whole time. Lisa did an amazing job take care of my dog. She is very flexible and thoughtful too. Book her!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog alone and had to rely that Chris would come early in the morning and in the evening for five days - and he did with out fail. He was loving towards our dog and made sure he ate well, his eyes were cleaned and he got a nice walk and play.”
About: For as long as I've remembered I've been around animals. I grew up with a yorkie named Paco and shortly after turning 5 I had the chance to help raise my next dog, a shih tzu named Pebbles who we got when she was 11 weeks old. I often cared for them by taking them on walks, giving them baths, feeding them, and overall giving them love and entertainment. In 2019 my family decided to get another dog after Paco passed away. This time we settled on a golden retriever, Terra. Now that I was older I was able to take full responsibility for her. I taught her all the tricks she knows. I'd take her out to swim and walk around the neighborhood. I'd even hand feed her and Pebbles when they would be super picky about their food. I'd also take care of my neighbors cat when she was away on vacation as well as feed the stray cat that often visited my backyard. Aside from cats and dogs I've had many other pets such as birds, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and more. Animals are a very important aspect in my life. My desire to care and love them is extremely strong. I currently have a flexible, mostly remote 9-to-5 job. Because I work from home, my daily routine revolves comfortably around pet care. I love taking breaks between my meetings to give pets some fresh air, a quick walk, or just a good scratch behind the ears. Before work, after work, and throughout the weekends, my schedule is wide open for longer adventures and dedicated playtime. Safety and open communication are my top priorities. When I am visiting or staying at a client's house, my goal is to keep the pet's routine as normal as possible so they feel secure. I always double check that doors, gates, and harnesses are completely secure before and after walks. I am highly respectful of the client's space and make sure to leave the home exactly as I found it. Because my daily schedule is very flexible, I can easily adapt to specific feeding routines or supervision needs. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so owners always have peace of mind!
About: I only found about my love for dogs when I decided to get a dog a few years ago. My experience includes raising a chow chow puppy into a member of dog society by individual and dog park playtime, walks outside, administering medication, and enforced chill time as necessary. I know how anxiety inducing leaving your pets when you're away, so I will treat you the way I would like to be treated with many photo / video updates! I love all dogs, big or small, outgoing or shy! If your dog is socialized enough for a trip to PetSmart or marshalls, could do that too! I work full time from home without many meetings which gives me the flexibility I want to walk dogs or drop by a for visits. I can work with whatever equipment your dog is used to - collars and harnesses. If your dog has a schedule, I will follow it so they don't feel out of their routine.
“Laura is amazing!!!! She walked my skittish labradoodle, and it was clear my dog was fully at ease with Laura. She was timely, communicated well, and sent photos. Would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
About: I have had a dog or cat since the day I was born. I have had three cats and three dogs all of which I love very much. I have raised puppies, kittens, and even a 100 pound lab. No pet is too big or too small. I love to spend time with my pets in my free time going for walks, teaching them new tricks, and helping them feel safe. I am a part time student at Montgomery College taking classes in the morning so any pet needs based later in the day can be taken care of I take my time introducing myself to the pets making sure they trust me before I engage in any sort of activity with them. I make sure to show them as much love as possible
About: I may not have a dog at home right now, but I’ve been the go-to person in my friend group whenever someone needs a sitter or walker they can actually trust. Dogs have always gravitated toward me — probably because I treat every pup like my own. I grew up with a family dog who I loved deeply, and losing her a few years ago only deepened my appreciation for how much these animals mean to us. Taking care of your dog isn’t just a job to me — it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. Expect lots of walks, playtime, cuddles on demand, and photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and exercise they deserve, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or a full day of company. I treat every dog like family. I follow each pet parent’s routines and instructions closely, keep dogs leashed and secure at all times, and send regular updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and safe. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing is always my top priority.
“Fran took very good care of my puppy.She is a very reliable person.I could see at the end of the weekend that my puppy was very comfortable with her.I will not hesitate to request her services in the future.You can trust Fran!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience walking dogs and providing overnight boarding. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they receive the care they deserve. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing a fun, safe, and loving experience! I’m currently a full time student with availability most mornings, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons. My dogs are away living with my family so I would love to take some time off work to take your dogs on a walk and enjoy some play time with them. I’m unable to offer pet care in my home because my building doesn’t allow dogs. When taking dogs on walks, I always follow each client’s guidelines and preferences. I’m happy to be flexible and tailor each walk to your dog’s routine and needs.
About: There is no greater bond then a dog and his owner. I want your four legged friend to feel the same about me. When you drop off your loved one, I want you to feel at ease so you can go about your business and not have to worry. I never had a dog growing up we were cat people. In my early 50s I started being around dogs a lot. I can't believe it took me this long. I now live breath and think dogs. i jump at the chance when friends ask me to take care of their dogs. I treat them as if they were mine. I have learned that a softer voice works better than yelling. For small dogs when you get down to their level they also respond better . My goal is to make you feel good and for me to have a new friend.

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.
