“Caitlyn did very good with Oreo! It was our first time trying to see if he’d do good with a dog walker and with no fault to Caitlyn, he did not. He was shy and very scared and not a fan of the idea. However, Caitlyn tried very hard to slowly work with him and kept me updated on the experience. I found it best to just leave him be as it was just a trial run and it helped me realize it is not for him! But I am very thankful for Caitlyn’s patience and kindness towards him and would recommend her for your pet!! She really cares about the animals she is working with.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life since my mom is a dog groomer and I currently working at a dog boarding facility where I care for and handle a wide variety of breeds! I currently work at a dog boarding facility, so pet care is already a big part of my daily/ weekly routine. I spend most of my time caring for dogs, feeding them, cleaning, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. i work as many hours as i can and keep a very flexible schedule, which allows me to fit in additional pet care when needed I offer in-home care by coming to the clients home to feed, walk, spend time with their dog, and any special care instructions. I will follow their normal routine to keep the dog comfortable and make sure they feel safe while their owner is away.

“Karina has been absolutely amazing and has saved me many times. I have a busy schedule and I travel a lot for work. She has helped me in a pinch with a smile on her face! My pets adore her and I think the world of her.”
About: I grew up with a lot of pets so I have always been taking care of animals since I was little, and I love it! I recently just graduated from college and moved to Denton Tx! This allows me to be able to spend a lot of my time with fur babies! I have theee cats of my own that I care for dearly. They are always running around and playing with all their toys and their cat condo. I love going on walks so I would take dogs out on walks regular. I have always cared about pets dearly!
About: I’ve had all types of pets since I was a baby. I’ve had guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am an animal lover through and through. I have a pretty open schedule so I will always be able to make the time. If not then I will make sure to have that conversation with whoever I’m caring for. Whatever you ask I will do. I know all families situations are different. If they need to be crated I will. If they need to be let out I will. Just tell me what you need.
About: We are Chris & Christy and we just recently moved to Texas! Chris has owned a couple of Labradors growing up and Christy grew up with a Pug. Currently, Chris works from home while Christy is unemployed. We have both been dog sitting for over 15 years and we are still excited every time we get to meet a new friend 🙂 Our dogs Milo and Riley have also gotten along with every dog they’ve encountered. A meet & greet is always preferred before booking. When your pet is under our care, we promise to keep them safe and protected at all times 🦮🐕🦺🐈🐈⬛ While we occasionally have dogs staying with us during the day, we don’t like to exceed 4 dogs in our household at a time (including our 2 dogs). We are typically up around 6am to walk or let the dogs out in the fenced backyard. We are new to Texas, so we have not been going out during the day to avoid the heat. Food stays in a closed pantry/closed door and anything that can be ingested will not be accessible. Your pet’s safety and health is the priority. It’s also important to us that they are comfortable being around our dogs. If not, they are both crate trained and can be separated into different rooms.
“I can’t recommend Cheryl enough. She has been present every time Piper has needed a walk. She is responsive, caring and thorough. Thank you Cheryl for your flexibility when my schedule changes. Looking forward to more excellent care from you!”
“Kyra has been the best walker for our dog! She’s always prompt and on time, communicates well, and leaves our dog nice and tired after her walks. I appreciate you Kyra! Highly recommend.”
About: I've been an animal lover and owner my entire life, there's only a very short time I've ever not had a dog. I've raised puppies, fostered dogs, including pregnant and nursing mamas. My dog Capy started out as just a foster when she was pregnant, I helped her whelp and fostered her until all her pups were adopted, and then she became our foster failure and joined our family. I’ve also cared for my aging dogs in their senior years. I also have had birds, parakeets and cockatiels, and I’m also comfortable caring for small mammals and reptiles. There’s nothing I won’t do for any animal! I'm a stay at home mom to a school aged child and a toddler. My schedule is very open and flexible for whatever is needed. I have childcare available to me so I’m not taking my kids with me while I work. I am allergic to cats, so I cannot visit homes with them. I will feed, water, play, and give lots of affection to your dog while visiting, or just let them in and out if they don't like non family members. I will freshen water and do whatever else is needed.
“Isabella is AWESOME! She is kind with a sweet spirit. She ask questions about your pooch and covers all aspects concerning your pooch! I will use Isabella again and again! THANKS ISABELLA!!”
“I cannot say enough good about this sweet, wonderful gal. Hannah is such a blessing - the first day we had a meet & greet, she came in sat her purse down and immediately got on to the floor to get my Boxer's ball out from under the TV stand. Melt my heart!! Her love for animals is absolutely amazing, her attention to detail is unquestionable, and I would not trade her for the world. She plays with them, loves on them, and talks through their personalities and behaviors, listens with intention, and asks the right questions. She's just amazing!”
About: I'm a genuine believer that we don't deserve the love our pets give us. It's so pure and they give it without any conditions. For all the love and joy they bring to our world, we owe it to them to repay that love however we can. Whether it's throwing a ball in the backyard, taking a nice long walk or just giving nonstop scritches behind the ears while watching tv on the couch...our pets deserve to feel all the love back in return. Life is busy for everyone, and even those of us with the world's best intentions of taking that walk or throwing that ball after work often find that finding that time and energy can be tough. Let me help stand in that gap and give your furry (or feathered) family members that extra TLC on your behalf. I am very flexible and am able to accommodate most schedules for walks, play time, drop in visits, brushing, and whatever else your pet might need. I provide all the love and services in your pet's home, where they are most comfortable. Your pet will receive lots of one-on-one attention and play time - whether inside or out. I will be certain that your pet is fed, watered, litterbox is cleaned and fur is brushed. My job is to make sure that you come home to a happy pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ever since we rescued my first dog I’ve loved all dogs passionately. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and colleagues to care for their dogs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, love and responsibility to every visit. I am currently a full time student working on a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology. However, I have plenty of time to play with your pets on the weekends and all day Friday! I enjoy outdoor activities and would love to explore with your pets every chance I get! I provide care in your home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities—I’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and never left unattended.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I've cared for dogs requiring administration meds, diabetes, skin and eye conditions. I am gentle, caring and firm when necessary. I love taking walks with them and engaging with them for playtime. A happy dog is a healthy dog. I am currently working remotely and have time during the day to monitor and care for your pet in their own home environment and surroundings. I would prefer caring for your pet in your home, a place that is familiar to them that would avoid the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place. I would discuss their routine with the client to ensure the same continuity of care they would be given if the client was at home.
“We had a great experience with Christiana! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog’s happiness and safety. We loved the photo updates and detailed walk reports—it gave us real peace of mind. Our dog came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised every time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring walker.”
About: I’m new to this app, but not new to caring for animals. I’ve regularly pet sat, walked, and played with pets for multiple clients and I’ve also gained hands-on experience working at an animal shelter. I have experience with energetic puppies as well as large breed and reactive dogs. Back home, I have a Pitbull and a Belgian Malinois, so I’m very comfortable with strong, intelligent, high energy breeds and the structure and attention they thrive on. However I also have experience with small dogs that love to give cuddles and chill. I am an adaptive caregiver. My availability is fairly open and flexible as I work from home and currently in between jobs. Normally I wake up early to take the dogs for a morning walk and do 1-2 potty breaks during the day then finally an evening walk after dinner. I currently live in an apartment and have multiple grassy areas around. I am also very close to walking trails that I myself frequent. I am flexible and will follow any rules or recommendations you have to make your pet feel safe and at home around me.

Emma has been my dog, Willow’s, dog walker for 7 months now & she is truly the best. Highly recommend. My dog can be a bit shy to strangers & Emma has been so patient & loving to her. I’ve also had Emma watch Willow when I’ve gone out of town for a few days & she always has done such a great job. Takes lots of pictures and is great at communicating. 10/10 across the board!
Ashley is very good with dogs and it didn't take more than a second to see Gunner's positive and friendly reaction when he met her. Your pet will be taken good care of from this Rover provider!! Ashley also was a last minute substitution due to my May 4th surgery being bumped up sooner to April 27th, and another Rover provider unable to be in town April 27-28. We really appreciate Ashley for being there for us this week!!
London was able to accommodate my baby last minute and during the snow. Both myself and husband were under the weather and she was quick to respond and take our pup out for a long over due walk. He came back a new man :). Thanks London we really appreciated the help.

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 Shores. 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.
