“Rachel has been amazing with Leo! He truly enjoys her company and walking with her! She’s got it down to a science with him, he’s a Frenchie and gives a hard time to walk but she’s been able to get him moving! Thank you Rachel for taking care of Leo when I have long days! You’re appreciated!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes ever since I was 12. My own or those family members. Everything from dog-walking, dog-sitting, and more. Currently working a part-time, so Mondays through Wednesdays before 11:30am, but full availability Thursday through Sunday! Can be pretty flexible, especially if you let me know in advance. Will usually first greet/play with them for a bit, followed by taking them for a walk and then either play with them more or just keep them company should they not be up for it. Will also feed them if necessary, of course.

About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a little girl, have always had a dog in the house and would walk our neighbors dogs for fun every day. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards etc. I am currently at stay at home mom for my 2 young daughters. I’m looking to make some extra money and play with as many dogs as possible with a my free time. We have a fenced in yard large enough for all types of dogs to run and play in. We also have double gates for extra safety in the yard. Inside the house we have gates set up to block off the livingroom where we can limit your dog from having access to the front door when people are entering and exiting the home. We also have a guest room that can be used if your pet gets overwhelmed or nervous and needs some alone or quiet time

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I've always had a genuine love for animals and grew up caring for my own dog of many years. I've been around animals all my life, including the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and I've continued gaining experience caring for animals ever since. That includes multi-day stays with my uncle's dog as well as multiple sitting sessions for my mother's co-worker's dog. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care while respecting each animal's individual boundaries and personality. As a lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and authentic affection to every visit. I want to provide that care for you and your family, with no stress, so you can always know your pet is in good hands. I look forward to giving your pet the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own! I'm a recent nursing graduate and licensed RN, and I'm currently building my nursing career while offering pet care as a way to stay active and do something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability, so I can give your pet consistent, attentive care and respond efficiently to your needs! I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable and stay on their usual routine. During each visit, I take care of your pet's basic needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet's comfort and personality and adjust my care to whatever they need, so they feel safe and relaxed while you're away!

About: Hi! I'm a wildlife biologist, and I've spent most of my life taking care of animals — in a veterinary setting, on wildlife conservation projects, and growing up in my own home with my family pets. I work as a full-time biologist during the spring/summer, and will have open availability over the fall, winter, and spring to help with your pet care needs! I started out as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where my days were cleaning dog kennels and cat cages, feeding and watering, walking dogs, giving oral and topical medications, holding animals for exams, and keeping daily records on everyone in our care. This job is where I learned how to understand an animal’s body language, and how to adjust my own to make sure they feel safe. Since then I've graduated from university and have worked as a field biologist for state and federal agencies, most recently monitoring endangered shorebirds at Jones Beach State Park here on Long Island. Along the way I provided daily care and feeding for state-owned horses in Oregon, and I've handled, banded, and released wild birds across four different groups — songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and doves. If you have a bird and you get nervous about leaving them, let’s chat. I’d be happy to care for any feathered family members! At home I've kept lizards, snakes, birds, and aquariums of my own, so I'm comfortable with things like heat gradients and UVB, humidity, feeding schedules that aren't daily, and water parameters and filtration. What I offer: • Dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home • Cats, including shy ones and multi-cat households • Medication administration, oral and topical • Senior pets and pets with medical needs genuinely welcome • Birds, reptiles, and aquariums • Photos and a real update after every visit • CPR and First Aid certified I’m always happy to do a free meet-and-greet first. I'd love to meet you and your crew! Currently, I have open availability from 10 am - 9 pm 7 days a week for drop ins and walks. For overnight stays, I am available anytime with 1-2 days notice. Before the first visit I do a free meet-and-greet. I want to see where everything lives — food, leash, litter, carrier, cleaning supplies — and I write the routine down rather than trusting my memory: feeding times and amounts, medications, which treats are allowed, how your dog behaves on a walk, and anything that frightens them. I also want your vet's name and number and a backup contact before I'm ever in the house alone. The thing I'm most careful about is doors. I come and go deliberately, I know where every animal is before I open anything, and I never leave a door propped. Dogs stay leashed the entire time they're outside with me, with no off-leash exceptions unless you've asked for it specifically. I give Medication exactly as written, at the time you've specified, and I confirm each dose with you. I don't adjust a dose or skip one because an animal is being difficult — I'll message you instead. Following written protocols precisely is most of what my professional work has been, in a veterinary hospital and in the field, and I treat your instructions the same way. I pay attention and I report: appetite, water, litter box or bathroom habits, energy, and anything that looks off. If something seems wrong I'll contact you right away. If it looks like an emergency and I can't reach you, I'll get your pet to your vet or the nearest emergency clinic and keep calling. And I look after the house. I clean up after your pet and after myself, I keep your keys and door codes private, I don't bring anyone with me, and I leave the place better than I found it. You'll get photos and a short real update after every visit. I also welcome any feedback, as that helps me do a better job in the future!

About: Hi! I’m Lizzie, and I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for my own senior dog, as well as my family member’s dogs of different sizes. Over the past year, I’ve taken on more responsibility for my dog’s care, including regularly walking him and caring for him on my own while my family was away. Through caring for my own dog, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. As a dog walker, I’m caring, responsible, and attentive, and I’ll make sure to follow each dog’s routine, while keeping their individual needs and personality in mind. I’d be excited to get to know your dog and make sure they feel safe and cared for on every walk! I currently have a flexible weekly schedule, so I have plenty of time to incorporate dog walking into my routine! I’m generally available for walks Wednesday through Sunday, with availability in both the morning and afternoon depending on the day. I’m happy to work with each owner to find a schedule that works best for them and their dog! When caring for a dog, I’ll make sure to follow any instructions provided by the owner and pay attention to their dog’s individual needs and routine. On walks, I’ll stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings throughout the walk. I will also make sure to treat each dog with patience and care, and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe with me.

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 Salisbury. 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.

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.

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.
