“Lori was prompt, and very communicative! She was so great meeting my timid little Shelby, and gave me great insight and resources for some future dog training. I would highly suggest her for anything in the future with people who are looking for a kind and communicative dog walker.”

About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for several years and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. As a dog and cat mom myself, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality and routine. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day to ensure pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their regular routine. I also plan my schedule to be dependable and communicate with owners through updates and photos, so they have peace of mind while they’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get the exercise or playtime they need, and receive lots of companionship. I also keep their space clean, whether that means scooping litter boxes, cleaning up after walks, or tidying food and water areas. I’ll respect your home, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!
“Elizabeth was a fantastic babysitter our big golden retriever pup while we were out of town. She was in constant contact with us, sent plenty of pictures and updates about their romps, meal breaks, water breaks etc. And she kept the house spotless. I will most definitely use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth!”

“Celeste is lovely!! My girl, Lemon, gets anxious around new people, but Celeste is extremely gentle and patient, and Lemon came around and enjoyed her walk and company. 10/10 will definitely be utilizing her again!! She is so helpful and amazing :)”


About: I grew up with dogs at my parents' house and currently care for my own 4-year-old cat, so I'm comfortable with both. I also regularly watch my friends and family’s cats when they're out of town, which means I'm used to following feeding routines and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I'm patient with young pets and attentive to senior care needs too. As a nursing student with a flexible schedule, I can give your pets consistent, reliable attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I'm currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule. I'm starting school on August 17th, but outside of classes and studying, I'll still have plenty of availability. I won't be able to work on Fridays or Sundays. Mondays and Tuesdays I'm free around 3pm, and Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I'm free all day. Just let me know what works best for you! I offer pet sitting and drop-in visits. In your home, I'll follow your routine feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any meds. I'll keep things tidy and send updates so you know your pet's doing well. In my home, I'd provide a safe, supervised space with plenty of attention, though I'd focus on pet sitting at your place since I have my own cat. Either way, your pet gets consistent care and love while you're away.

I am currently a stay at home mom to teenagers so I have nothing but time. I’m flexible and can come to you! I’m even willing to come weekends. I prefer to come to you, just because my rental agreement does not allow for more animals than I currently have. I can walk and come stay with them, I have experience in giving medication including shots. I am patient and kind even with unsure and uneasy animals. My current client says I have “animal energy” lol.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was about the age of 10. I’ve always been an animal lover and knew since a young age that I wanted to turn my love for animals into a career. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter where I also became a foster momma. I have experience in housing sick, and scared animals who are in need of socialization. With having a love and passion for animals for over a decade, I’ve decided to peruse a career in the veterinary medicine field. I promise your fur baby will be in good hands! I am partaking in Rover part-time so caring and loving your fur babies while you are away is my top priority! It is not a job but instead a passion of mine, needless to say, your baby is in good hands! I believe the best way to care for your pets within your own home is by having great communication with you, an abundance of compassion for your pet and how they may feel while you are away and great attention to detail.
About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.
About: Over the past year and a half, I’ve fostered multiple dogs and cats through Palm Beach Animal Care and Control and Peggy Adams, along with participating in many doggy day out programs. This has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m used to caring for animals consistently from my experience fostering and living with pets, so making time for them is something I prioritize. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I prioritize safety and comfort above everything. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep a clean and secure environment, stay attentive to their behavior, and make sure they feel calm and safe at all times. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated so you always know your pet is in good hands.

ABSOLUTELY fantastic!! She goes above and beyond. There were some hiccups along the way on my side and Nicole worked with me through every one. She was fantastic with my fluffy boy and sent the cutest updates. I would book her again at the drop of a hat. She is so flexible, caring, understanding, and communicative.

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 River Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in River Ridge. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
