About: I've had animals my entire life, and I currently have four dogs and two cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. I also volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and paying close attention to an animal's needs and behavior. Whether your pet loves playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of affection for your furry family members. I work PRN at a hospital, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my availability carefully around bookings. I only accept requests that I know I can fully commit to so that every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I also have animals of my own, but I'm not the only person caring for them, so their needs won't interfere with my ability to care for your pets. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in my client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their habits, boundaries, and preferences. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, following feeding and medication instructions carefully, and providing regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve been in a home with pets my entire life. I started taking on their responsibilities at just 5 years old and fell in love with it. Pets are so important to us so it’s my top priority to make sure your pet is healthy and happy while in my care. I’m currently unemployed so my free time is basically infinite. I have 3 pets of my own who harbor a bit of my time, but I made a set schedule that works for all of them. I’m always free for walks, treats, and cuddles! I live less than 50 feet from a beautiful dog park with equipment for your pet to enjoy. There is never any children in my home and visitors are rare and well trusted. I own extra crates for your pet if needed and there are over 50 toys in my possession for your furry friend.
About: 🐾Hi fellow dog parents! I have experience working at Doggy Wonderland, where I cared for dogs, supervised playtime, monitored behavior, maintained clean spaces, and provided lots of love and attention! I’m also a proud dachshund mom to my own fur baby, so I know firsthand that pets are family. ❤️ I can’t wait to give your pups the same love and care I give my own! 🐾 Caring for my own dachshund is a big part of my everyday life! From daily training and feeding him twice a day to spending plenty of time outside playing and exploring, I make sure his needs are always met. But most importantly, I spend even more time giving him all the cuddles, affection, and love he could ever ask for! ❤️ I bring that same dedication, patience, and love to every pet I care for, I am available Monday - Friday and occasional weekends to help with your pets needs! In your home, I will abide by all of your instructions ensuring the safety of your fur baby, just as I do mine, if your pup is friendly with other animals I’d be happy to bring my own pup to hangout with he/she and keep them company! Biggest rule for me is making sure the your dog is happy and healthy while in my care and I provide that by feeding them when instructed, playing with them outside or inside whichever you prefer and making sure before I leave I give them the same goodbye speech I give my own dog haha🤍
About: I am a major animal lover, I often think I enjoy pets over humans at times . I will love your pet like my own.

During boarding your pet will be treated like my own, if your fur baby has anxiety not a problem they will not be alone I allow dogs on my sofa and bed so if need be they will not sleep alone. Not potty trained ?? Not a problem, I am patient as know it is a process to everything so trust you puppy will be on the schedule we discuss as to not set them back while in my care . ! ! I love animals and always give them the care , exercise and love they need and deserve and I treat my dog as my child I walk him daily, and open fields to run . I stay away from dog parks but if your baby wants to go then I will take them. I have a fenced back yard and one French Bulldog that is my spoiled baby. He has his own room and space where he can go to sleep and play if he doesn’t not want to be bothered . I will treat your pet like my own .
About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs. Additionally, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have experience with many basic care skills. I am familiar with routine care such as feeding routines, walking, bathing, and training. I have ample experience with oral, injectable, and topical medications, and can confidently administer first aid if necessary. Additionally, I am ready to slow down and give extra care to any senior or special needs animal who may need a little more attention. I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures! I currently attend college in another town, so I am not available during the week. But from around 5pm Friday to Sunday, I am prepared to give my full attention to your pets! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home. Whether they are high maintenance or totally chill, I am willing to provide whatever necessary to make sitting as stress-free as possible!
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”
“Dawn is the best! My two beagles love her! They are two rescues and usually very suspicious of people but Dawn, with her kindness, loving, attentive ways was able to connect with them immediately. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond to provide excellent care to my girls. Dawn looks after my babies frequently and treats them like they're her own. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it!”

I have full availability to care for your pet and 100% of my time and attention will be directed to them at all times. Being a dog mom , I understand the importance of attention and love. I live on fenced in ranch! With plenty of room for play time and so many new scents to explore. We have no pool , and a completed gated property.

About: Ive always grown up around dogs, and all kinds of animals, but this is my first time getting into something like this. Im super excited!!! I have a very flexible schedule, looking for something to do in between my hours to get out of the house, and make some extra cash and love on your animals! Your pets safety is my number one concern. I will closely follow any pet specific instructions you give to ensure your pets are safe and you can be worry free.
About: Hi, my name is Darian! I have three dogs of my own, two of them in their senior stage of life. I have been a dog sitter for almost ten years now, taking care of dogs around my community and family friends. I feel the best way to take care of your dogs is in your own household where I can keep them in their own routine! I would love to take your pups on walks around your neighborhood as well as doggy parks and other places with your permission of course! I am up for staying in your home (if you are on vacation) or dropping in every couple of hours when you need me to. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your sweet pups!

About: I loved dogs since I was little always feeding the stray dogs no matter what. The care of animals always comes first for me. Seeing any kind of animal get hurt breaks my heart. I try my best to show them love even if I can't keep them with me. I have a husky of my own, I always give him is morning and nightly walks along even if I have school I always make time for him! During my school hours (I am in college) my schedule will change but I'll try not to. I can do Tuesday and Thursday. My classes start at 11am-3:10pm if you are willing to work with that I am happily to be able to work with you as well 😊 I would show the animal love and care! I always praise them for being so well behaved, if they are shy it will take time, I'll start small keep my distance so I wont stress them. Trust takes time and it always comes with an amazing bond 💖
“Robbin has a way with dogs. Our dog loved his walks with her. She was prompt, professional, and sent us a detailed rover card with beautiful photos at the end of every walk. My dog even gave her kisses. We will definitely be using her services in the future, and highly recommend her.”
About: I have been handling dogs for about 9 years now. I currently offer In-Home dog grooming where I bring the salon to the comfort of your home. I work for myself so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Most grooming appointments are scheduled between 10:30am to 5pm. I will accommodate walk requests as best as possible. If walk requests are after 7pm (after dark) I may have a Buddy along to accompany me during the walk for safety but I will always inform my client prior to accepting requests. I have a lot of senior doggos so I am very attentive and report anything out of the ordinary in regards to their behavior.

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 Sanctuary. 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.

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 .
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.
