“My poor baby has been sick so hasn’t been able to get out and play with others like he usually does. He is feeling better and is full of energy but still not ready for going back to his normal socializing— so in comes Christopher to the rescue! London was so excited to go for a walk with him and was doing his puppy run with legs flailing with so much excitement — it was just delightful to see knowing he’s been home bound for 2 weeks. Christopher was great and kept up with his pent up energy and left smiling so it definitely went well. Big bonus: Christopher lives nearby my neighborhood!!! It is always great to have folks that love and watch over our pets nearby!”
“Helped me out in a last minute request! My pup was so settled after his walks, I knew they had a good time and quality exercise. Also got to meet her dog, very gentle and sweet. 10/10”
“Tabitha is awesome! Tabitha tuned in to my senior dog Charlie and his needs as he went on his walk. I injured my knee and couldn't walk Charlie. He loves his walks so having you help out when our other Rover Care Giver for Charlie wasn't available to walk him, thank you Tabitha for helping out. You are truly a Godsend.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life. I grew up with Samoyeds (fluffy white sled dogs) and was so happy when I was able to get one of my own 13 years ago, and since then I have also adopted a Heeler mix. My dogs are members of my family, and I will treat your pets the same way. I love taking dogs out to all the amazing parks and trails in the area. And when I am home or doing a drop-in, I'm happy to play and keep your pets company while you are away, as well as make sure they are fed and have enough water. If there are any special needs or requests, please just let me know. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!
About: I have over 10 years experience both professionally and privately with dogs and other animals. I see pets as part of the family and am dedicated to their nurturing care. I am quite physically fit and will run with your dog if you'd like. I also can take care of cats or small animals if needed. I have worked for dog hotels, pet stores and personally house/pet sat for people. I have volunteered at shelters and rescues and can administer medications if needed! I love spending time with animals and would never leave one in a bad situation! I can deal with any size of dog and am experienced at reading temperaments. I am extremely reliable and use honest as my policy for life. Your pet is in caring and experienced hands with me :)
“Hannah is an all-star! She went above and beyond caring for my nine-year-old and puppy yorkie mixes. Not only did she ensure they were tuckered out on their walks, she took the time to engage in play with them and give them extra treats before she left to aid in the transition process. I feel lucky to have found such a caring companion for my dogs when I’m at work/school and need someone I can trust to check in with them throughout the day. I noticed a significant mood boost in my dogs when she started caring for them. Thank you, Hannah!!”
“Michelline took such good care of my girl (last minute) while I was having a busy work weekend. She walked her and gave her the cup of food I left and even brought my delivery box inside.”
About: Never in my life have I not been surrounded by a dog, cat, lizard or fish! It’s my dream to own every kind of animal I can fit in my home. All animals deserve attention and affection and they all are more intelligent than people understand! I’m able to notice the smallest details about them and be able to treat them accordingly!! I am currently in the process of looking for jobs but I would love to have a full time job and be able to house/pet sit in the evening/on weekends! I have a beautiful backyard and play area. I have a safe cul-de-sac with many walking trails in the neighborhood! I’m 5 minute walk from a park as well! I’d love to go out at least once daily with them for play time but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying it indoors as well.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have 2 very friendly cats named toothless and simba who love to play. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens and for senior animals with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. I work at home full time as a freelancer. I’m able to give your dog or cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I work from home so I’m pretty flexible with times and days. Both week and weekend availability. I just need a 1 day notice. Your pets will feel safe with me and get lots of extra attention while you are away. If your pet has any special needs, please let me know.
“Alexis was a gem, she took great care of our cat and dog and sent us amazing photos of their time together. We can tell our pets loved spending their time with her and that’s the most important thing!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, my family has had dogs (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s) that I’ve helped take care of and watch. I’ve also helped neighbors and friends watch their dogs both bigger and small dogs as well. I’ve experienced dog-sitting for those who need a little more senior dog attention to younger dogs that are more playful, and have always been very good with animals. My schedule is currently can be flexible, so I can make time to hang out and play with your dogs or cats. I’m available weekdays during the day, generally after 10am and before 4pm I am very good with animals and helping them feel comfortable. For drop-in visits and dog-walking, I’m good at sending little updates on your pets with each visit.
“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”
About: I've had pets most of my life and I consider them as family. My clients have said that I'm the dog Whisperer.I develop a strong bond with the pets I take care and they all love me. I can administer meds and I can do brushing, feeding, fetching, walking, bathing of animals if necessary and lots of tlc. I haven't found an animal that I haven't loved. I do have transportation to take them to parks and other places that they need to go to. My clients all say that I have truly made a very large difference in their pets lives as well as their own. I also do basice training of dogs. Several of my clients have given me keys to their homes. I'm retired and my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm open to walking dogs twice a day if the owner wants me to that. I can also do last minute requests also. I have a cat and he has a very easy life living with me. I take care of dogs and cats that I walk or house sit with like they are part of my family. I treat them with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
About: For 15 years I have been pet sitting family, friends, and co-workers pet while they were out of town, needed someone to stop it, or to stay for a week during the holidays. I am a dedicated pet owner who wants all animals to receive love while I'm in there space. I offer walking and ride services for your pet. Send me a message I would love to meet you and your furry friends! I also provide other services for your pets send me a message! I am currently looking to change my employment and would like to start this on the weekend and see how it grows. I am a hardworking, trustworthy, pet lover that wants the best for you and your pet. I have a cat and dog that love each other very much. I have a friendly, gentle approach with my pets as I will have with yours.
About: I've always been an admirer of animals and have a respect for their individual personalities. While their safety is my utmost priority, I realize that a solid rapport is just as necessary. I feel that walks are not just necessary for their relief but also to maintain their physical and mental well-being. I prefer to let your dog go at its own pace, whether relaxed or energetic, but also to let them enjoy their surroundings at their leisure. When we're at home, I'm always down to play with your pet, sit with them quietly, or give them their space. I'm a musician with a flexible schedule so it's easy for me to work around the needs of clients and their pets. I have plenty of time for walks during the day and many evenings are free for sitting. I always follow a client's detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, and hygiene, and medicine. I always do my best to make sure the animal knows I'm there to be their friend and to take care of them.

Tabitha is awesome! Tabitha tuned in to my senior dog Charlie and his needs as he went on his walk. I injured my knee and couldn't walk Charlie. He loves his walks so having you help out when our other Rover Care Giver for Charlie wasn't available to walk him, thank you Tabitha for helping out. You are truly a Godsend.
We had a great first experience with Amelia! She was punctual, friendly, and respectful. We really appreciate her taking the time to get to know Pochi and understand her personality during their walk. Looking forward to having Amelia house sit for us in November!
Inacia is excellent! Our dog has a lot of health considerations that require special care. She makes sure to follow our instructions and is mindful about how certain variables on walks might affect our dog's health. We appreciate Inacia's detailed feedback and cute pictures on Rover cards! She is great at responding to messages quickly, flexible, easy to work with, and most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her!
Faith has a wonderful way with animals. When she stopped by to meet Wesley before his first walk, he was so excited you'd think they had been friends for months! Even my cats warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot since they're usually very standoffish with new people. When I came home from work, Wesley seemed happy and relaxed, which is always a sign that he's had a great walk. Faith was also punctual, professional, and clearly attentive to his needs. I highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker, or even a cat whisperer!
Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog made all the difference. Finding someone you trust with your pet is extremely important, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Marissa. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
Here’s a natural, Rover-style review you could post: Christopher was absolutely fantastic with our dog. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and cares about animals. He was always on time, communicative, and went above and beyond during every visit. He took our dog on great walks around the neighborhood and even picked up the pace and ran with him when he wanted to run, which our dog absolutely loved. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. Christopher was reliable, attentive, and treated our dog like his own. We’ve used several dog walkers over the years, and Christopher is easily the best we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
Annalei is great at communicating information and responds very quickly to messages. It had been a while since our pup had been walked by someone other than us but our dog recognized Annalei right away from a few years ago and eagerly went on a walk with her. Annalei is very kind and patient and we felt so comfortable (and grateful she came all the way back to our neighborhood) to walk our dog.

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 Rivergrove. 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.
