“Crissy is very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She is responsible, friendly, responsive, and flexible with unforeseen circumstances. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very little and have always loved dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Animals, especially dogs, bring me so much joy which is what inspired me to start dog sitting! I love checking in, playing with, and feeding my sister’s Frenchie when she’s out of town and I know I’d love your dog!! I’m currently in between jobs right now so I have plenty of time for your pups! My schedule is super flexible and open I can sometimes do last minute check-ups if needed! I have two very friendly boykin spaniels of my own which I absolutely adore. I very easily adjust to dogs of all behaviors & can do just about anything needed to care for your little (or big) ones!!!
About: I have taken care of 10+ dogs that stayed in my home. I like to take them on walks and give them the attention they love they need! I am a college student who only has class three days a week. I like to go on walks and exercise. I do homework in my apartment for the most part. I have all the free time in the world and would love to take care of your pets for mutual companionship! I do not have a yard in my home but I have beautiful trails and green spaces where I would walk or run with your pup! I have a living room where the dog would be fed. In a clients home I would feed pets in the designated feeding area and would take them outside and spend time with them!
About: I have work experience at a pet store and have worked with many different pets and animals! I have been relied on to take care of their various needs. Such as cleaning up after messes, doing feeding schedules, play-time, etc. I also have grown up around all animals. There’s never been a moment in my life where I was pet-less. I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself, and other family members even have whole reptile rooms. Needless to say, I’m an avid animal lover and owner. I do currently work part-time! With enough notice however, It’s fairly easy for me to make time for pet sitting, dog walking, bathroom breaks, etc. Animals are a priority. I am very communicative. If by any chance I run into any questions or bumps in the road, I will give a phone call or send a text message. I never want any pet parents to be “out of the loop.” I work very well with treat training or praise. If I need to crate an animal, I prefer positive reinforcement. I treat animals how I would want to be treated! I love meeting dogs or cats first to establish some trust or a comfortable relationship. A decent conversation with an owner would work as well.
About: I pride myself on having learned about dogs from a young age. Although I am no expert, I would say my knowledge about dog behavior and body language is above average! I grew up with German Shepherds so I am very comfortable with bigger dogs, but also love a small dog too :) I work full-time, but am available every Wednesday guaranteed. My work schedule varies since I work in retail but some days this allows me to be off of work before noon which would give me plenty of time to care for your pup midday. On the other hand, some days i don’t work until later afternoon times so I am available for early visits in the morning :) For those reasons I'm super flexible Having pets of my own, I understand that following their routine and schedule is important, so I will be punctual and follow any instructions left for me! Whether it’s on walks or just quick drop-ins, I hope to leave your pet as happy as can be!
About: I have owned dogs and cats since before I can remember! I grew up with three large Rottweilers and two Maine Coon kitties.

I have lots of experience with all age ranges from puppies & kittens to elderly pets. I can administer medicine or administer play time till they are nice & tired! I can bathe, walk, run, play, feed, and love on your pet the way I love my own until you return! I have two dogs that love other dogs just as long as they aren’t the humping type! I can easily crate any dog up to about 100 lbs. I am currently a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule. I can care for your pet early in the morning or even late at night. I can crate your dog if needed! I can also bathe your pet prior to you coming home so they are nice and clean when you return!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had Pitbulls, chihuahuas and yorkies so I am accustomed to the differentiating behavior that dogs can display between breeds. I believe in honesty and communication to keep both parties protected and informed because your pet is important. I don’t want any harm to come to them on my watch. My dog has seizures, so I understand the concern that can come from a person watching your dog and not understanding the nuances of how to properly care for them and their special needs. I am here to be that person for you. Currently, I work part-time on the weekends during the evening, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I am also an online college student, so I appreciate those that are understanding of that. The most important way to care for your animal is to see and learn how you care for your animal. No one is going to love them or ever know them as well as you. Each animal is unique in behavior, so I try to respect any boundaries imposed upon me by your pet or you.

About: Hi, my name is Rachel, I love animals and taking care of them. I have had a lot of experience watching pets. I grew up with a dog and a guinea pig, with that it has taught me a lot of responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I am very kind-hearted and patient and always strive to do my best. I love meeting new animals and giving them love, I also enjoy playing with animals they always keep me entertained. If I had a mansion I would want to rescue any animal and give them a great home and safe environment to live in. To summarize I think all animals should be spoiled and given unlimited amounts of care and love and to know they are safe and secure. Thank you. I will be available during the day and evenings to care for any pet. My schedule is pretty flexible during the day so I will be able to spend time with any pet. I will feed them, make sure they have enough to drink, and spend time playing with them and giving them all the attention they need.

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 Shady Grove. 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. 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.
