About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!
About: I have dog-sat for many friends and family members, and I also worked at a boarding and daycare facility in Iowa, where I loved caring for and spending time with the dogs. I’ve also interned at two veterinary clinics, where I gained experience caring for dogs and helping with their medical needs. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog I care for. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary science student at Utah State, so my schedule will vary from semester to semester and week to week. Right now, I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons/evenings for walks or drop-ins, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-ins or pet sitting. Feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s needs! I am comfortable handling a wide range of cat and dog temperaments. Working at a boarding and daycare facility gave me experience working with dogs who are shy or timid, as well as dogs who may be reactive or aggressive around other animals, and more.
About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Growing up I had a wide variety of animals. I have had experience caring for large and small dogs alike, senior dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication to many of these animals as well. I recently moved from the Midwest where I was a volunteer search and rescue member- closely working with the search dog teams and assisting as a handler as needed. I have experience working with these dogs in and out of the field. I have also trained in K-9 first aid. I work evenings M-F. My mornings and early afternoon are relatively free during the week. And I absolutely love going to visit some fur babies in the evening on my lunch break, or late at night visits after my shift. Currently, I'm fully available on the weekends for pet care as well. I can administer medications as needed. Your pet's safety and health are my number 1 priority. I can clean up after your pet as needed. Playtime, potty breaks, and snacks as well! And I will give them all the attention.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life from turtles to 100 pound dogs. I've always wanted a dog I can call my own but because I'm young and possibly moving soon it's just not the right time for me! So I want to give all my love to your pups! I also am married so I have some help with taking care of your pets! My husband’s name is Max. I have a flexible job and am home most of the morning and into the afternoons. My husband also will help me most of the time! I have two cats who aren’t the fondest of dogs but they’re more meow than bite so she'll just hide away from them if she's annoyed. I also have a fenced yard! It's not huge but it's enough to play a good game of fetch and go potty!
About: i’ve taken care of pets from a young age of 11! from neighborhood to family friend dogs! i’ve mainly taken care of cats and dogs but im open to all pets!

“Oceana is the best!! She has been so patient and kind with my anxious pup who can be slow to trust. I always know my dog will be well taken care of when she takes her on walks. She responds quickly to messages and sends photo updates. Definitely recommend booking her!!”
About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.
About: Hi, we are Andrew and Kris. We've had pets our entire lives and have started to care for others in addition to our own puppy, Benelli. We have experience caring for various animals including dogs and cats. Kris works from home and we are quite flexible between our two schedules. Extended stays are welcome. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and loving taking the pups out to walk around. Kris works from hone, so your pet will never be left alone! We are available for boarding as well, and just need advance notice for scheduling. We have a spacious townhouse and are both animal lovers. We currently have one amazing Labradane in the house who loves to play with other pets (if you allow it; otherwise he is very well crate trained and can remain separated). Your pets will have no shortage of attention and affection here!
About: I have grown up with animals my whole live from horses, to lambs to mainly dogs. I love ;learning about different dogs personalities and how to take care of them individually. I would one day like to train a working dog but for now just learning more about them. I live on a farm and your dog would have a lot of space to roam under close supervision. I do currently work a part time job however that still gives me plenty of time to spend with your dog or your dogs! I also have family members who would love to get to know your pet as well! With so much space to roam there will be a lot of walks for your dog. Pets are allowed inside the home however they are not allowed on furniture or beds. As I hjave said there is lots of space to roam and get exercise. They will not be allowed off leash unless given permission by you, the owner. I can keep the routine you have with your dog!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 8. I prioritize walks, play, and of course snuggles. I am very attentive and believe the biggest part of loving dogs is taking great care of them. I currently work from home a few days a week. My husband works from home every day. During the day we are always available for walks and bathroom breaks. I live in a home with a large lawn backyard. I’m also a short walk away to many other parks. My home is clean and safe. I have room for a crate in my home.
About: I am absolutely enamored by cats and just love them with all my heart! I have a cat of my own named Sunny and she is the light of my life! Loving cats in a gentle and respectful way is my way and I hope to show that to your pets:) Caring for creatures has always been an interest of mine and getting to do this is seriously awesome!! I currently hold a full time job but am looking to fill my free time with love from animals!! I am a hard working individual and love having things to do, so being able to make caring for my favorite beings on the planet a part time job for me is amazing! Currently taking care of 3 cats looks like daily litter cleaning, monitoring, and loving! I will take care of your pets how I take care of mine which is respect, love, and understanding!
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I’ve always loved animals and I trained my dog! I will spend as much time as I can with your pet!

I have a fenced yard with plenty of room, I also have one dog that will keep your dog company if needed. I also have a crate and bed if you dog needs anything!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they’re my own. I work two part-time jobs, but I still have plenty of time for pet care! I’m free most evenings, a few hours throughout the day, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m flexible and can usually work around your pup’s routine. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your space and your pet are safe. I follow your routines exactly feeding, walks, meds, and any specific instructions you have. You can trust that your pet will get gentle, attentive care and that your home will be treated with the same respect I’d give my own.
“Did a fantastic job with my two girls, who are both a handful on a walk. Particularly my nine month old labrador retriever. It was a huge help to me, and I will definitely be open to book her again!”
About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.
About: I have trained and raised dogs since I was little. We have experience with Saint Benards, Bernese Mountain dogs golden retrievers and Newfoundlands. We like big dogs! I am a stay at home dad and have all day to provide care and help with any needs your dogs may have or need. Well behaved and trained dogs can be in our house or out in the backyard. Our dogs are about 50/50 inside and outside mainly because our newfy gets hot regularly
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the 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 Providence. 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 , 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 .
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.
