“I have a GSD that can be somewhat challenging and Briana was great with her! Briana communicated clearly with me and didn't leave me hanging like so many others that I've reached out to on Rover in the past. I'll definitely work with her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since I was in elementary school. I have had family dogs all my life and now I have 2 dogs of my own. I raised one as a puppy and then adopted his brother about 2 years later. Raising my dogs has educated me in all the needs a dog possibly needs from food/water to stimulation to exercise. I’m around many weekends so I have a lot of flexibility and open time to drop in and take care of your dog! Whether it’s taking them for longs walks or just hanging out and keeping them company. If my dogs could talk they would probably tell you they are the kings of the house. The dogs in my home are treated like humans. Nothing but the best. They are allowed on furniture, beds, toys are out all day long. Having very high energy dogs of my own, I often go on many walks and hikes all around the area.
About: Animals mean more to me than I could ever put into words. I have always felt a deep connection with animals, and caring for them is not just something I enjoy, it is something that genuinely fills my heart. I believe animals deserve compassion, patience, respect, and unconditional love. Animals give us a kind of love that is completely selfless. They trust us with their whole world, and I believe we have a responsibility to give them everything we can in return. I will always go the extra mile to make sure an animal feels safe, loved, comfortable, and understood. Their happiness and well-being are incredibly important to me. I have experience working with a professional pet care company, as well as volunteering at an animal shelter simply because I love being around animals and want to make a difference in their lives. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and loved. Whether I’m caring for a dog, cat, or another animal, I will treat them as family. I will give them my time, patience, attention, and as much love as they are willing to accept. To me, caring for an animal is a privilege and a responsibility I will never take lightly. I want every pet in my care to feel just as loved and important as they would at home. Animals are a huge part of my everyday life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I make time in my daily routine to give animals the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need rather than treating pet care like a chore. When I’m caring for a client’s pet, I make sure their needs are a priority and give them my full attention. I’m happy to spend time playing with them, taking dogs on walks, providing mental stimulation, giving cats interactive play and companionship, administering medications when needed, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have experience working with a professional pet care company and have cared for pets with a variety of needs, including administering medications when necessary. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, enrichment, litter box care, bathroom breaks, and giving pets plenty of companionship and attention. When caring for pets in their home, I respect their space and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also understand that some pets need more exercise and stimulation while others may need extra patience, comfort, or quiet time. Their well-being is my number one priority. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved—not simply watched or taken care of, but given the same attention and affection I would want someone to give my own pets.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and have had always had a passion for being around dogs. I worked with them in my last job at a nursing home and seeing the difference they make, makes me so happy Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have afternoons available after my other job. This gives me time to care for pets, provide attention and companionship, and complete my schoolwork between visits. I’m organized and dependable, and I can plan my schedule around each pet’s feeding, playtime, walks, and other care needs. I also have two cats of my own, so daily pet care is already a regular part of my life. I care for pets by following their normal routine and paying attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, exercise, companionship, litter-box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and send regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I have experience caring for cats belonging to family and friends, and I have two cats and a two-year-old dog named Kona of my own. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things clean, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away
About: I have a lifetime of experience loving and caring for animals, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. With 100+ bookings both on and off Rover, you can feel confident your fur baby is in caring, experienced hands. I’m loving, gentle, patient, and treat every pet like family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently available for nights and weekends for when your pets need a sitter! I work Monday- Friday but can still house sit, I just won’t be able to do middle of day care. I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.

About: My whole life I’ve lived with and taken care of pets, ranging from puppies and kittens to 13yr doggos and a 17yr old cat who we call granny. My friends and family have always trusted me to babysit and even take in their animals when necessary. I’ve also had a rabbit, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and taken care of my sisters ferrets so I have a vast animal care knowledge. One of my current dogs is from a shelter and has PTSD so I also am well versed in dogs with anxiety and fears. I love my fur babies and make sure they’re taken care of, but I would love to meet and spoil more! There is always time for extra love! I always make sure everybody has water and has had enough to eat, as well as routine potty breaks to avoid accidents. I will always adapt for each pets needs!
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was little. I’ve owned many pets and many people have relied on me to care for their pets and even take them for walks when needed. I always care for my clients pets as my own! My job is very flexible and not long hours so I am home everyday almost all day and have a lot of free time to care for pets needing a sitter. I always care for my clients pets needs and pay close attention. I make sure the pets receive all the care and love they need while their owner is away! I can crate the animals if needed as well as any other needs they need help with.
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: I've had dogs my entire life they've always been more like siblings to me than pets. Right now I have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepard, I love them very much but now that I've moved out of my parents house I don't see them every single day and im missing some pet love!! I am a caregiver to the elderly and disabled as well but love giving care to any and all in need!! Very easy to work with. Shoot me a text. 😉 Caregiver all around 💞 I love being of service and giving care whether it be humans or animals, I enjoy what I do. Ask me more :) I do not board animals at this time due to having my own kitten, she is being introduced to other pets but is not yet fully comfortable

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 Sherwood. 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.
