“Becky was a very big help and did a great job stopping by and taking my pup for a walk around the neighborhood. She took good care of Ace and made sure to provide pictures and good feedback on how the walk went. I will be happy to have her care for my pup again!”

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

“My pup Draconi loves his time with Dayonna. She truly cares and really gives him love when she picks him up. His tail wiggles when she arrives, are outta control, and he is so excited to see her. I highly recommend Dayonna. She is communicative, keeps you up to date on the walk, and sends photos, too. Don't miss an opportunity for your furbaby to get the best attention.”

I’m currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m looking forward to the nice weather and being able to care for and walk your furry friends. I currently have 2 dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs are outdoors many times thought the day. I would be able to come by several times throughout the day to play, walk and car for your animals.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for a puppy, so I understand the patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs require. I know that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions carefully. During walks and drop-in visits, I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving loving and responsible care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to walks and drop-in visits. I am available during weekdays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or early evening visits. I can also offer some weekend availability when scheduled in advance. Having pets of my own has already made feeding, walking, playtime, and attentive care an important part of my everyday life. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives dependable, unrushed, and personalized attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, routines, and any special needs. Before every walk, I make sure the leash, collar, or harness is properly secured, and I remain alert to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and anything that could make the pet uncomfortable. During drop-in visits, I respect the client’s home and privacy. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and I never leave a pet outside unattended. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment while giving each pet personalized attention. I will also send photos and detailed updates so pet parents know their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I have been around animals for my whole life, taking care and experiencing with 4 litters of puppies and watching them grow. I have pet sit for the past 5 years and still do! I am open to pet sit any animal of any size and can do it at your house or mine! I am great with medication scheduling and certain or special feeding schedules. As of right now, I am available Monday through Sunday at any times! I will be having a part time job soon but will still be available for part time work!

I also make my own plan with clients consent as in walks around the neighborhood and make sure I interact with the animal with play time and loving.

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 Ruby. 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 a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ruby after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ruby. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
