“Our elderly dog recently had procedures and Deedee was willing to accommodate to all his abilities and restrictions plus medications. We are so grateful for her care.”
About: I got my first dog at the age of 5 and my love for pets only grew from there. I've worked as a volunteer at a rescue as well as a professional Kennel Technician. I'm the person who answers "both" to the question "are you a dog or a cat person?" Unlike apartment complexes, I don't have any breed restrictions. In fact, I adore bully breeds and rescued my own pit mix. I'm also experienced with both puppies and kittens so I have no age restrictions either. I would be happy to set up a meet & greet prior to a booking. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them! I have open availability at the moment so I can spend as much time as you want with your pets and would love an excuse to leave my apartment. I am comfortable with every type of harness and leash and can crate your pet if necessary. I understand that all pets have boundaries and will respect those boundaries as I learn them. Your pet's trust is very important to me and I will work hard to earn it. I'm more than happy to set up a meet & greet to introduce myself to them.
“Jessica was great with our pups! She went above and beyond just their walks, making sure everything was okay when arriving and before leaving. Highly recommend Jessica to help with your pups.”
“Morgan is a true dog lover and such a professional. She is so thorough with her updates every single day. She includes multiple (super cute) pictures of our dogs with details of their time together on walks. She also stays beyond walk time to play fetch with the pups and always makes sure they have water and food before she leaves! Morgan is truly the best and her praises can’t be sung enough. We feel so happy knowing that our dogs are in such loving care with her. You won’t regret choosing Morgan!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my care since i was 10 years old, my ex husband’s cockatiel, and a brief stint with a snake in my adult life, too. I also have 2+ years in pet sitting and dog walking experience. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I offer drop-in visits and walks, sticking to your preferred schedules and habits so your pet feels secure. You’ll get honest, regular updates with photos every time I visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible availability allows me to spend quality, unhurried time during drop-ins or walks. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or a longer midday visit, I’m able to stick closely to the timing they're used to. When caring for pets in your home, safety and security are my main priorities. I make sure double gates and doors are secure, stay observant during walks, and follow your exact house rules. I take care to leave your space just as I found it and keep you updated after every visit so you know everything went smoothly.
“Elisabeth was extremely kind and reliable while taking care of my dog! She responded right away, and was flexible with my hectic work schedule. Will definitely be re-booking with her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and a cat in a loving home and absolutely love animals! I've also dog sat for close family and friends throughout my life. My soul kitty just passed away recently and I'm looking to fill my time with love, care, and cuddles from our furry family members we love so much. I know what it's like to care for, show love and interest, play and meet their needs where they're at. I may be new to pet sitting with Rover, but I am not new to caring for and loving animals. I've used Rover for pet sitters to care for my cat when she was with me, and am familiar with this platform and the needs/concerns of being a pet parent. I promise to care for your pets just as I did for my kitty. I work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, but work from home Thursdays-Fridays. I have more daytime flexibility for drop ins on Thur/Fri. Otherwise happy to do drops ins outside of working hours in the beginning of the week. While I live in a condo, there is plenty of space to take dogs out for a walk, potty, etc. I live in a quiet complex and have a nice little nature path between our buildings. I can also easily to take them to dog parks that are close by (on leash of course, I wouldn't take them off leash as they are not my own-for everyone's safety). If staying at your home-I am respectful and will follow all instructions to the t.
“Sarah was a fantastic dog walker. She sent me pictures and an update everyday she took Wilt for a walk. She kept me informed and I felt very reassured using Rover for the first time. Highly recommend Sarah!”
About: Hi! I'm Jacqueline, and I'd love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I had the privilege of sharing 15 wonderful years with my dog, and today I'm the proud pet parent of a playful 5-year-old cat. I also regularly pet sit for close friends for years now, caring for both dogs and cats while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. Whether that means long walks, games of fetch, plenty of playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I'll tailor my care to your pet's personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pets deserve more than just the basics; they deserve companionship, affection, and someone who truly enjoys being with them. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am available 7 days a week, daytime and evenings for quick drop-ins, extended hours, and overnight stays. As a cat and dog owner, I love caring for both types of pets! I am available to care for your pets in your home, whether that means a visit to care for them or staying in your home. My goal is to ensure the pet owner(s) and the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of.
About: Over the past year, I've pet sat regularly for friends, including overnight house-sitting stays and drop-in visits. My friends have trusted me with repeat visits because I stick to routines, pay close attention to each pet's needs, and communicate clearly while they're away. My schedule is wide open right now (the place I worked went out of business) so I have plenty of availability for pet sitting throughout the week. I keep a regular daytime schedule and don't stay out or up late. A couple of evenings a week I have roller derby practice or networking events, but I'm typically home by 10 PM so this won't affect overnight availability. I try to be a calm, attentive presence during visits, and I carefully follow instructions on how to care for your pets. I make sure to have vet and emergency information before you leave and will let you know immediately if anything comes up while you're away. I make sure to lock up and set the alarm every time I leave and leave your home as I found it. I have references from repeat clients if you'd like to check with them first.
About: I’m a huge dog lover, there isn’t much that I’m more passionate about than dogs. I come from a big dog loving family. I’ve been a dog owner most of my life. Since I was about 8 I would study and research all I could about dogs and I’ve even trained pretty much every family dog we’ve. It was mostly the basics and cool tricks. Even til this day I enjoy teaching my pup new fun tricks I pretty much have open availability on weekends. I work through the week but I’m willing to help out with the pups through the week as well My pup has free roam in my house. Only place off limits is the kitchen but I like for her to be comfortable . My pup is crate trained but I allow her to stay out if I’ll only be gone for a few hours. Making sure the house is clean first
About: As a proud dog owner and caregiver, I offer dependable, loving care with a personal touch. I have hands-on experience walking, feeding, and spending quality time with dogs of various breeds and sizes. Whether it's playtime, exercise, or sticking to a routine, I treat every dog with the same attention and care I give my own. Pet safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate different schedules, including daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I’m dependable and enjoy being able to give pets the attention and companionship they need. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own.

I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always communicate if I notice anything unusual with their pet.
“Cheryl was terrific. I needed a walker that day and Cheryl was very quick to respond, walked and fed my pup and sent a picture of him on their walk. I came home to a happy pup and an accident free apartment. I will definitely book with Cheryl again and you should too!”
About: I grew up with a Doberman (Raven) and a Shih-Tzu (Salem) who I loved dearly. Now, I have a cat named Harvest who I adopted in early 2025. I volunteer with Lifeline’s “Dog for the Day” program periodically where I take a dog from the shelter to Piedmont Park for 3-4 hours. Joy, the white dog in one of my cover photos, was my first dog for the day. I am available Mon until 3pm and all day Fri for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can also house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. I live in a quiet one-bedroom apartment with my cat, Harvest. I'm often reading or sitting out on my balcony enjoying the peace.

Elisabeth did a phenomenal job walking my dog. I am usually hesitant to hire help because my dog can have some behavioral issues, but Elisabeth made sure he was comfortable and safe on each walk. She went above and beyond to send me daily updates with lots of pictures. Elisabeth is extremely responsible, kind, flexible, and my dog had such a great time with her. We will definitely be booking with her again!
It’s our last week with Solange and we are so sad. I would not have stopped if we didn’t move. She has so been attentive and caring with my dog on walks for the past year. Takes the cutest pics which is a plus. She's been flexible when possible and always has good communication. Would recommend her services in a heartbeat.
Thank you, Mary, for taking such good care of my dog, Julie! It is a huge relief to know Julie is loved and cared for while I'm gone for the day. It eases some of the pain of being away from home to know that Julie is getting playtime, walks, and attention from someone who genuinely cares about her. Mary is not only great with dogs, but she is an excellent communicator. She texts me daily to keep me up-to-date and shares pictures of the walks.

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 Scottdale. 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.
