“I can’t say enough great things about Celeste! From the minute she first met Breezy, I knew this woman was special. Her communication with me was perfect! Updates, pictures, questions! One day she sensed, correctly, that Breezy was a little tired and didn’t want to go for a long walk. After texting me to ask if it was ok, she hung out in the yard and brushed sweet, tired Breezy and the pictures she sent made me jealous😂. Celeste will always be 1st on my list of dog walkers.”
“Marissa is fantastic. She’s always on time and takes my pup on different walking routes all the time to keep him excited and interested. She lets him take his time sniffing around and people watching. We’ve already referred her to other neighbors and friends. 100% recommend!”
“Jenn is great! She asks all the right questions and deeply cares about Oz’s comfort and wellbeing. She’s curious and invested in understanding our smart and complicated dog. Jenn is also really great at communicating. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I highly recommend Carmen. She came to walk our puppy Larry. She came over to meet him and get an understanding of his needs. She sent updates, photos, and feedback. Shes communicative and friendly. I’d hire her again.”
About: I have experience with pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past year along with having had all different breeds of dogs growing up and enjoy their company. I love to go for walks, hikes, the beach and would love to take your dog with me. I've had to give senior dogs medication and look after them. I know how hard it is to trust someone to watch your fur baby when your away and I'm that person and I will treat them like royalty. I am home everyday at 12:00. My husband works from home so one of us is always home with your dog. I am ready when I get home to take your dog with me on a walk or hike. Your dog will have access to a dog run area all day long and a large backyard when we are home. I have a house with a large fenced in yard and your dog will have complete access to outside at all times. At this time I don't have a dog of my own, so there will be no conflict between dogs. I want your dog to feel at home as much possible.
“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”
“Miranda is always prompt, willing to adjust timing if possible, and very good with communications. She really stepped up when I needed help due to an injury. My dog loves his walks with her!”
“Marley is clearly a dog whisperer. Bruna is a tough cookie and takes long to warm up to people but not with Marley. They were fast friends and she was very attentive to all of Bruna's quirks on their walk.”
“Skye , is a lovely professional dog walker. My dog Scooby warmed up to her right away. After just a few days of service Scooby is now very excited to see her knowing a good walk is on the way. He can tell she’s an animal person. Skye is easy to communicate with, friendly and very professional. Can’t say enough of what a find skye is on rover. Happy new customer, highly recommend!”
About: I have sixteen 5 star reviews on Trusted House Sitters (along with my wife Allison who joins me on most dog and cat sits.) We have taken care of dogs of various sizes as well as a lot of cats. We both work remotely which makes us very flexible for pet care. I can work remotely from anywhere on my laptop (part time!) which allows me plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. After my years as a Trusted House Sitter, my goal is to spend most of my time dedicated to caring for animals as they are my passion so they will be my number one priority! I care for your pets in your home, I will be in most of the day working online so they will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I am always available to contact and will make sure you receive photos and updates multiple times a day.

“I'm incredibly grateful for Luna's exceptional care of our beloved pooch while we were away for the day. From the moment they met, it was evident that Luna and our dog formed an instant bond. Their time together seemed nothing short of delightful, and I was thoroughly impressed by Luna's professionalism and evident passion for animals. Meeting her was a pleasure, and I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to enlist her services again in the future.”
“Rachel is a great walker. She has been walking our 2 10 month old GSC pups for about 6 months every day now and has been aiding in training during walks. We definitely reccomend Rachel for her above and beyond efforts, dependability, and character! Keep up the great work and thank you for everything your doing!”
About: I have loved animals my entire life. Throughout college and high school, I worked as a dog walker for Wag and a kennel attendant at the local vet. I currently work on boats and do this in the off-season or when things are slow. I love spending time with animals and will treat your baby like one of my own, with lots of walks, cuddles, and attention. If you have more questions please reach out :) I work on boats and my schedule varies. I typically update my calendar to reflect that. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions :) I am more than happy to watch your pets in your home. I rent so I need to get approval from my landlords before taking requests in my own home
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. My parents and my sister have dogs that I help take care of and love to take on walks! I don’t have a dog of my own because I’m not allowed to have one where I live but I’d love to get my dog fix through helping take care of yours! I’m currently in the middle of finding a new job. I just moved back home from San Luis Obispo. I’m open weekdays mostly mid mornings. I walk/run down at rio almost everyday and love to stay active. Would love dog friends to join! I have a fenced yard off the main roads. My parents have a golden doodle and a couple of cats that love to run on the property plus it’s a very family oriented and friendly neighborhood.
About: At this time, I’m best suited for clients located in town or close to main residential neighborhoods to ensure reliable scheduling. If you’re unsure if you’re within my service area, feel free to message me and I’ll be happy to confirm! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through drop-in visits, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and providing companionship based on each pet’s personality. I’ve worked with a range of temperaments—from energetic and playful pets to more shy or independent ones—and I always adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important consistency and routine are, and I take the time to follow your instructions closely. I’ve previously used Rover and built positive experiences with pet owners and their pets, and I’m excited to get back into it and continue providing reliable care. Doggy Daycare: Looking for 1-2 dogs to host at my house on Tuesdays and Thursday. I already host a sweet 4.5yr Female Golden Retriever named Penny and she is looking to have a dog to play with. Your dog must be friendly and fully vaccinated. Ideally will be nice to meet at the Siltanen Community Park and see if they’re compatible. If this fits you, send me a message and we can arrange a meet up. If you’d like, I can also have you meet the owner of the golden Retriever. Penny is pretty popular here at the park, and she LOVES EVERYBODY! I’m currently available for drop-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits on those days depending on your pet’s needs. If you’re looking for consistent weekly visits or planning ahead, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure during every visit. I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and create a calm, stress-free environment for your pet. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet and home with the same care and attention I would my own. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

About: Hey, from your dog's new favorite dog walker. My name is Meg and I absolutely love animals! I've been volunteering with shelters and fostering dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I also have two of my own family dogs, a terrier named Dolly and a husky named Tika! Here in Chicago, I currently have my cat Goose. I have open availability outside of Monday through Friday, 2 - 7 PM, as I am a flag football coach. I love pets and have volunteered/fostered at shelters with cats, dogs, and small animals. I have a cat myself, who is pretty independent, but I will need to go & make sure he's doing well minimum of 1-2x a day if housesitting. I offer dog walking, cat & dog check-in visits, and house sitting. Check-in & house-sitting visits require an introductory appointment so you can feel comfortable with me; I can get to know you and your pet's needs, go over instructions and rules, and answer any additional questions or concerns!
About: As a lifelong dog parent, I love being a leader, cuddle puddle, walker, ball thrower, and runner for dogs of all kinds (100% adorable, every single one!) Whether your fuzziest family members prefer long walks on the beach or romps in the mountains, I love taking the furry friends out & about. Daycare, boarding, walking, medication management & special needs are all part of the arc of care, and am confident in showing your dear dogs the same care that my dogs get! I’m currently working part-time, and have a flexible enough schedule to accommodate weekday and weekend care as needed. I’m an early riser & love starting my day outdoors with a nice long walk. I have a fenced in yard & two friendly dogs to keep your pup company, and can accommodate crates for training if you prefer. We’re less than a miles from the beach and go for walks every couple hours, with plenty of play time & meals, as needed.

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

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.
