About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I have 19 years experience caring for dogs including higher needs dogs. I am happy to spend the time to provide any special needs your sweet baby has. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to provide excellent care for your fur babies. I am free most weekends and some holidays. I have a fenced in yard a clean home and fur babies to keep your company. If they don’t fancy fur friends we can hang out somewhere my animals don’t have access to such as the guest bedroom.
About: What started as a dog sitting gig in college, has become a joy and passion of mine to make pets with temporarily absent owners have the best time pawsible. • I'm comfortable working with many species and breeds, big or small. • I know peace of mind matters as much as great care, so I keep you in the loop about your pet at every step. • Pets can have emergencies, and I'm equipped with basic pet first aid to handle them if needed. • I'll send regular updates and resolve minor issues on the spot, only looping you in for anything urgent. • I follow your instructions precisely and on schedule, because the little things matter. • Walks, vet visits, and grooming appointments are handled exactly as planned, no matter your pet's routine. I have the flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve. * Available Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM * Flexible within those hours for drop-ins, extended visits, or full-day care I am prepared for emergencies and always carry my kit, but if something out of my scope happens, I am prepared to go to the vet. If needed, I will contact you afterwards with a detailed report. * Boarding/Doggy Day care: I live in a 2-bedroom apartment with a big living room. Usually, pets will stay in a designated area in the living room where I can monitor them. They will also feel safe and cared for during their stay. * House Sitting: I will monitor your pet in the area you decide, whether they roam free around the house or if you need to keep them in a designated area of the house that they feel safe in.
“I needed a dog walker very last minute. Azrael responded quickly and even made time to meet me same day before taking my dog out the next day. She is so sweet! And you can definitely tell she loves animals! Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Misty did a great job with our two Pomeranians. She sent us a couple pictures of them on the leash during the walk. She was trustworthy and left our place secured when she finished the walks. We’d definitely use Misty again for our dogs!”
“Our meet and greet and first walk with Isabelle was wonderful! She was very kind and receptive of our goals for socialization with these walks. I am looking forward to the many more walks to come for our puppy!”
About: I enjoy catering to the diverse personalities and needs of all pets while precisely following special instructions given to me. It its important that they feel taken care of and paid attention to:) I’m a part time online student looking for work I enjoy! Right now my schedule is very flexible, however I do prefer to work afternoons most days. I’ve dogsat all day in the past and have owned two cats. I look forward to taking loving care and catering to the needs of any pets!
“We were in town to visit the National Parks and Kendra did an incredible job with our skittish dog. She was able to build trust quickly and get her the exercise she needed. I appreciate her patience and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who may be passing through and needing someone trustworthy!”
“Julianna was awesome with Wavy. Not just Wavy who went right to her but made me relax knowing my little guy was taken care of. Julianna also goes that extra that so nice. 5 stars is not enough! Thanks Gino”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors and family members on a regular basis. I have had a dog since I was 5 who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. Taking care of her with the help of my mother has taught me patience and helped me gain experience with elderly dogs. I am currently free full time over the summer as I have recently graduated. Starting in August, I will be working regularly as a substitute teacher, but will be available all day on weekends. I can offer all day care if needed. If you need me to stay the night, I can absolutely do so. I am adaptable to all of your pet’s needs, just let me know!
About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.
About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 10 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 10 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I leave the house at around 7:30 a.m most days and get home around 3-4 p.m. My husband works full time but has about 2 days off each week so those days he’d be home all day. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.
“Andrew was extremely easy to communicate and coordinate with given the last minute circumstances! Incredibly flexible and super sweet with my dog! I would absolutely book again! 10/10 recommend!”

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 Rector. 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.

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.
