“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi there, my name is Don and I am an experienced dog owner looking to help families in need of a dog sitter or walker. I figured this would be the best way for me to meet new dogs all the while helping people out! I am able to work from home several days of the week and my hours are quite flexible so I am happy to come up with a schedule that's best for you and your pet. At home, I stay in 1 bedroom condo which would be perfect size to house up to 2 dogs for short or long term. I work with animals at my profession so I am comfortable distributing medication, tending to elderly dogs, and of course grooming! Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your fury friend! -Don My work schedule is very flexible as I’m working from home most of the week. I’m an early riser and usually like to jumpstart my day with a walk. I take your pet’s safety and wellbeing to the upmost level and I’d treat them just as my own. I value the importance of communication so i’ll always send follow up texts and check in pics!

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, which taught me from a young age how to understand their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide them with patience, attention, and loving care. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I currently have a sweet, friendly 6-year-old Pomeranian who is a very important part of our family. In addition, I cared for a Golden Retriever for two years, giving me experience with a larger and more active dog. Through caring for my own pets and the pets in my family, I’m comfortable with everyday pet care such as feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I have an only 10 hours/week part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pet’s needs. I’m able to give pets the companionship and attention they need throughout the day while maintaining their regular routines. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable townhouse with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to enjoy fresh air and playtime. My home is conveniently located next to a Memorial Park, which provides a great nearby space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. Dogs can get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to explore their surroundings without needing to travel far. I enjoy making homemade treats! I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️
“I highly recommend Guillermo! He is always punctual, extremely reliable, and genuinely caring towards our lovely Mylo. His passion for animals is evident, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands.

“Catherine has been great with our 2 black labs the last couple of months. They get excited every time she comes to the door, because they know they're going for a nice walk. We are scheduled for 3 walks a week but with the holidays, snow days,and work from home days the schedule has fluctuated drastically. Catherine has been very accommodating. I highly recommend her services.”

I also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and explore. I’m currently working full time from home as a marketing consultant. My weekday schedule is often flexible and I am able to give my puppy plenty of attention. I care for pets with safety, comfort, and fun as my top priorities.

Inside, I provide plenty of toys, treats, and attention to keep them happy and engaged. Whether at my home or yours, I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reading
Rosemary was super patient and understanding with my dog Toby. The first time she came over to walk him, he was reluctant to walk, but Rosemary sat with him and was able to eventually get him to walk. I appreciated Rosemary's persistence and care for my baby dog. I would definitely trust the care of my dog with Rosemary again!

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.
