“Victoria was incredible with Finn who is a high energy Aussie puppy. He absolutely loved walking and playing with her and I will definitely be using her again. She is 100 percent reliable experienced and accommodating! Five stars and more!!!”
“As usual, Elizabeth was absolute magic with my two dogs. She has incredible empathy, and the dogs adore her. She also goes above and beyond to keep my house in immaculate condition. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life.. I worked in a kennel and as a dog groomer, where I got to spend time with many different breeds of dogs. Friends have asked me to stay with, feed, walk and drop in on their pets. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of areas of time to play with your pets! I am available to dog walk and drop in during the week and Saturdays after 12. I would love to discuss if you need someone to house sit overnight! I will care for pets by following the routine that they are used to and treating them with love, kindness and respect. I want to create a calm environment for them and let them know they are safe with me. I will also treat the client’s home with respect.
About: Dog mom here! I offer a cozy, fun, and safe home-away-from-home for your pup! Plenty of playtime, belly rubs, walks, and cuddles included — because every dog deserves a vacation too. 🐾 During college I began looking after others fur babies as a side business, with now seven years of experience! I also have experience with administering medications and other personalized care! I currently have a dog with severe separation anxiety and he loves the company, this brings! 🩷 I currently work as a property manager, but prefer to work with animals over people! I believe that pursuing this opportunity is a meaningful step toward finding greater fulfillment and long-term satisfaction in my work. Country setting with a nice back yard ready to play on! Dogs are allowed to free roam inside my house, but I do require them to be crated when I leave and at night to ensure the safety and well being of the animal.
“Matthew is a great addition to Rover. He kept us informed before and after. Porter was happy when we got home. We were so relieved to know Matthew was caring for Porter. He was sure to ask us if we had any special instructions. We will use Matthew again for sure.”
“Joey was fantastic with my dog! He made sure that she was well-fed, walked, and had plenty of fun every time he visited her. He constantly kept me up to date with report cards and pictures. I would happily ask Joey to watch my dog again the next time I am out of town!”
About: Hello! My name is Stella and I’ve lived in Charleston my entire life. I’ve grown up surrounded by many animals, including three cats and two dogs, as well as some small animals! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of any age, as we routinely fostered puppies and kittens until they were old enough to be fixed. I have a dog of my own who I have had since she was six weeks, so I have quite a bit of experience with puppy care. I also know how to work with elderly or sick dogs as my own old man had countless health problems that I had learned how to deal with. I would love to help you out and give your fur babies some love! I do not mind taking them for walks, playing with them, giving medication, or anything you need me to do. Let me know if you have any questions! I do work part time, so in regards to me house sitting at your place, just be aware I will have to step out for up to five hours to attend my job. I will take your dog out before I leave and when I get back but just want everyone to be aware of that. Since I do not dogsit in my own home, I would be more than willing to crate your dog or abide by any rules you have to keep dog safe while I step out. I have a rambunctious coonhound that, if left out, will get it anything and everything, so I understand the need to take proper precautions when leaving an animal home alone!
About: I have been walking dogs for over 10 years as neighbors had me walk their dogs when I was young. I house and dog sit for my family. I volunteered with a rescue for two years and currently foster for a rescue that I’ve been with for about 4-5 years. I work 8-5 every weekday. I’m good at giving animals space when i know they’re scared or nervous and really make sure I earn an animals trust. I have a beautiful 2 year old baby girl. There is a chance she would be with me for walks and drop ins depending on what day of the week it is. If your pet has any habits or preferences i would like to know them (how they’re fed, favorite toy, favorite place to be pet or scratched). I work full time but have a 10 month old pitty mix at home. I’m home by 5pm every day and leave between 8/9am depending on if I have my daughter or if she’s with her dad. I have a pup of my own we live in an apartment but we go on daily walks. We like using a harness over just a collar because we don’t want to risk him slipping out of it.
About: I am loving, honest, and willing to go above and beyond for your animal. I can take care of medication needs, training, potty training, and more. I have CPR training and can provide comfort for the anxious friends too! I am disabled, but have 100% commitment and free time to help your fur baby out. My schedule is open and readily available. I can also provide last minute services. I treat every animal with respect and love, mine or not. They deserve the best care regardless of breed, size, or condition. Each animal gets the same one on one care.

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 Shortsville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
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.
