“Keila was so amazing and patient with Ollie ! She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable with her and he’s always tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”

“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”


“We found Ed thru Rover and read his great reviews. We hired him right away. Ed is very responsive and flexible. He also is very attentive to the details and make sure our dog gets the care we want. We really appreciate his help. Thanks! Ed”
“I highly recommend Alison as a dog walker. She was responsible, communicative, attentive to my requests, and went above and beyond to make my two pups comfortable while we were gone for three days. Overall, we had an amazing experience.”

“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”

About: I have always been a reliable neighbor in taking care of their pets when needed wether that would be extended periods of time or once. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I care for my pets at home as well as in college for animals from local shelters. I will make sure that they are not forgotten. I will make sure they’re fed, clean, loved and hydrated. They will feel right at home!
About: I love animals of all kind! I had pets growing up and as an adult. I have also done a lot of pet sitting for my family and friends. I have also done many "Sniff Abouts" for the local animal shelter. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. Though I've never owned a cat, I have loved the times I get to pet sit them as well. I'll treat your fur baby like part of the family! I'm a stay at home mom with a husband who works from home so my schedule is very open. I'm very flexible and can work around most anything. We treat our own pets like members of our family and I'll do the same for yours. Our pets are special and deserve the absolute best care!
“We decided to try Rover in our neighborhood for the first time to help Astro get some extra exercise, and we’re so glad we found Shiva! She walked him daily over the past two weeks and was always punctual, reliable, and great about sending updates and plenty of photos, even during his one-hour walks. It gave us peace of mind knowing Astro was in good hands. Highly recommend Shiva!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of animals—dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, and even horses—so caring for them is second nature to me. I’m comfortable looking after multiple pets at once, and I truly believe every animal is awesome in its own way! Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious kitty, or anything in between, I love spending quality time with every pet I meet. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I don’t just “let them out” for a quick break. I’m here to make sure they get some exercise, fun, and lots of attention while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply giving them some affection, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. With flexible scheduling, reliability, and a commitment to ensuring your pets are happy and well-cared for, you can rest assured knowing I’m always ready to lend a helping hand (or paw!). Let me take care of your furry, feathery, or scaly friend while you’re at work or on vacation—I’m excited to meet them! I have a flexible schedule and am available everyday, morning, daytime, and in the evening. Pet sitting, boarding and walking fits seamlessly into my schedule. Your pets will be treated like my own while staying with me and while being cared for by me. Rest assured your fur baby will be like family.
About: I’ve had my own dog, Leo, since I was in 7th grade, so caring for and training dogs has been a big part of my life for over 9 years. I also participated in Guiding Eyes for the Blind during college, where I gained additional experience caring for and working with dogs. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and others throughout college. I recently moved to the area and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy by providing loving, reliable care for your pets. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pup like my own! I currently work hybrid, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the week and have additional flexibility on weekends. I’m also happy to provide boarding and daycare depending on the dates. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and rest while following their normal routine as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having cared for and trained my own dog for over 9 years, I understand how important it is to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. My experience with Guiding Eyes for the Blind also taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsibility when caring for dogs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and anything else your pet needs, while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, and I’m now a proud cat mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. Throughout high school, I regularly pet sat for family and clients, including one repeat client with four small dogs and a cat who trusted me with their pets multiple times. On one occasion, I even cared for seven dogs at once, including larger breeds, so I’m comfortable handling both energetic pups and pets with different personalities and needs. I took a break from pet sitting while finishing college, but now that I’m a recent graduate, I’m so excited to get back to doing something I genuinely enjoy: spending time with adorable pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, super energetic, or just wants a calm companion around, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. As a recent college graduate working part time, I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the week. My weekday shifts are typically in the mornings, which often leaves my afternoons and evenings open, and my schedule tends to be especially flexible Tuesday through Thursday. Weekend availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I do my best to be accommodating and communicate clearly about availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my own cat and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that many pets feel happiest in their own familiar environment, so I am especially happy to provide care in your home through drop in visits, walks, or house sitting where they can stay comfortable and stick to their normal routine. I take the time to follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions if needed, and any household rules you have in place. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pets and your home, and I will always treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: Hello! I’m Catalina. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I love creating a mix of adventure and comfort for them, whether it’s a hike, a long walk, or a relaxing movie night afterwards. My building has a great dog park with lots of toys, so pups get plenty of space and stimulation. I’m available on weekends and always make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. Your baby will get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles with me! I have availability in the afternoons and weekends. During the weekend I can spend the whole day with them and also at night or dog care. I don’t have dogs or cats in my home , so it will be easy if someone needs me to stay at my place with their dog/cat.
“I had plans fall through with late notice and needed a few days of dog walks for my 7mo puppy who is going through his second fear phase. Plus, there wasn’t time to meet Kendall ahead of time, or even be there when she met him for the first time. She did an AWESOME job easing in with my pup and getting his trust so quickly, and the second day he was already excited waiting for her return. Feeling so relieved and grateful for her, and this first experience with Rover in general.”

About: Hi, I'm Leah & I love all animals but I have always been a cat person. I have three cats of my own, Victor, Henry & Roman. I also foster for little buddies rescue. I currently have three foster kittens and I love watching them all run around and play. I own my own vehicle & I work from home as a Realtor so I have a lot of flexibility to fit your schedule. References gladly available upon request! My three cats and fosters stay indoors. They have tons of toys and can run and play throughout the condo. They also enjoy watching cat tv.

About: Love being around dogs of every breed. I’ve taken care of different breed of dogs for more than 8 years. I currently own 5 dogs and am very comfortable with handling them as well. I’m currently working part-time so I’m pretty flexible Monday-Friday before 3:30PM. Perfect for those who are at work during that time. I take safety and care for your furry babies very seriously as I know how anxiety driven it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. I accommodate, I cater and I am very attentive to the needs of my dogs and will do the same with yours.

Jill is a fantastic caretaker. My dog gets excited whenever she sees her and Bruce (her rescue pup). She is very responsive and timely when it comes to communication, and she is very thorough making sure all needs are met for our pup. Can not recommend her enough!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
