“Anne was fantastic! She helped us out last minute when a relative went in the hospital and needed care for his dog. She is so kind and the pup loved her. We will for sure use Anne again!!”
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own (apartment living), I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s going for walks, checking in on them, providing companionship, sticking to feeding schedules, or giving plenty of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m a cat lover as well, with one of my own, and would love to check in on yours while you’re away! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to make every walk or check in safe, fun, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home most days, which gives me the flexibility to fit dog walks or pet check ins into my day without feeling rushed. My schedule allows me to be available for morning and midday walks, making it easy to provide reliable care when your pet needs it most. I enjoy getting outside throughout the day, so spending that time walking and caring for your pet is something I genuinely look forward to. Since I’m offering dog walking services and pet check ins, my focus is on providing safe, enjoyable walks and stress free check ins. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and positive reinforcement while following any specific instructions you provide. At home, I care for my own cat, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I know that every pet is unique, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I’m a dog lover for sure. I would love to give your puppies a safe loving environment under my care. I enjoy mostly outside time with them throwing the ball running around with them and just giving them the fresh air and space to feel free. I have many years of experience caring for animals. I treat and love all animals as my own. I’d love a chance to give some extra love and trust to my new puppie friends :) Exercise and outside play. We start the day with meals (if your dog requires a morning meal) 25-30 min walk and depending on the day and weather we will play stay active before we wind down for snuggles and bed. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play and release energy, I also love taking hikes on safe and dog friendly trails. Dogs have free roam of the house no kennel needed unless requested. All love snuggles and play here.

I am a work-from-home mama who is available all week long and would love to spend more time taking care of pets.

“Liz is great …..Jasper was acting up a little but she was able to calm him and make him feel secure….I will definitely hire her again…..and again….I felt Jasper was in good hands and I felt calm and secure too… Thank You Liz”
About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.

About: Hello, My name Twanakay T., and I am 32 years old. While I don't currently have any pets of my own besides my fish tank, I grew up in a household with cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for animals. I had a cat named Jenny who lived with me from childhood until I was 18, and my father has a dog named Kingston. He can be quite a handful, but we are always patient with him, and I will bring that same patience to caring for your pets. I’ve also had a variety of pets over the years, including a rat I bought on a whim and a bunny who was quite elusive! I am open to learning exactly how you would like your pets to be cared for, so please let me know your preferences and schedule, and I will do my best to adhere to them. Thank you for considering me! Best regards, Twanakay Thompson I work in a hybrid format, I work from home from Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday to Friday, I work half days in the office. Please let me know if this aligns with your needs, and I would be happy to accommodate any specific requests regarding pet care during those times. Thank you! here is how how I approach pet care: 1. **Familiarization**: I take the time to get to know your pets and their specific needs, routines, and preferences. 2. **Environment**: I ensure that the environment is safe and comfortable for the pets. 3. **Exercise and Play**: Regular playtime and exercise are essential for pet health. 4. **Routine Maintenance**: I follow a consistent routine, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any grooming sessions, to help keep the pets relaxed and happy. 5. **Monitoring Health**: I keep an eye on their behavior, appetite, and overall health. If I notice anything unusual, I'm prepared to contact you or a veterinarian if necessary. 6. **Communication**: I provide regular updates so you can stay informed about your pets’ well-being while you’re away. This can include text messages, photos, or videos. 7. **Bonding**: Building a trusting relationship with your pets is crucial, so I always approach them gently and positively to help them feel secure and loved. If you have any specific preferences or additional guidelines for how you'd like your pets cared for, please let me know! Thank you for considering my services! Best regards, Twanakay T.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rutledge
Chelsea and John were great. They were very kind to our dog and asked pertinent questions. We had a trial walk in the neighborhood, so that they could see our dog's typical behavior. We felt totally at ease with John and Chelsea taking her out for afternoon exercise. We will definitely contact the two of them in the future.
Theo has been an amazing walker with my Newfoundland Tiny! He’s incredibly communicative and on time for every walk. On days when Tiny wasn’t feeling up to a long walk, Theo found ways to get him moving in the backyard and brought him back happy and ready to chill out.
Karen was fantastic! She was always punctual, dependable, and so patient with my anxious senior dog. She took the time to earn his trust and never rushed him, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care and appreciated the updates along the way. I would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker.
Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!
Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!
Barbara is an excellent dog walker and we will go back to her time and time again. She works very well with our shy border collie and took the time to get to know him (3 visits!) before our first actual paid visit. She is very punctual and communicative which we really appreciate.
Nathan is the exact person you wanted taking care of your pets. He would take little Nathan out for us everyday at lunch time and my dog looked forward to his daily trips with one of his best buds. He always treated Nathan kindly and I never had to worry about anything. Not only was he professional but he became a crucial part of our day to day. I’d gladly take his services any day. 10/10 walker. 1000/10 person!
Olivia has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs. I've got a giant breed pup who isn't the easiest to handle (or the smartest), but Olivia has been great with him. She's also been incredibly professional, prompt, and handled the curveballs pets love to throw (like handling when one dog got an upset stomach and had an accident).

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 Rutledge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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.

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.
