About: I have taken care of different types of dogs and including in home stay, walks, puppies etc and had my own dog since I was 12. I have lots of experience in caring for animals from reptiles to mammals. I am very physically active and love to spend time outside so long walks and exercise is both fun for me and your pet.

I care for my dog with long walks, exercise/play time with his favorite toys or enrichment games. I also have a back and front yard at my house that my dog loves to play in with a park and beach access that allows dogs. When I care for bigger dogs I love to take them to the park in my neighborhood or one nearby to play fetch.
About: When it comes to my pet care experience I have always had a pet at home. I thoroughly enjoy being around animals therefore, this affords me the opportunity to enjoy my work. For drop-in visits after I have exercised the dog by taking it out I will remain in the home to play with the dog so they have the opportunity to release more energy. When housesitting I respect the rules of the owners house and make sure that when my time is finished the house is the way they left it. Prior to walking the dog I will ask the owner what to anticipate. Also if they have a preferred route for the dog's comfort. I also like to know how the owner rewards their pet so there is consistency between the owner and myself. I am working M-F from 7AM-4PM, so I am available to do evenings and weekends. I'd prefer weekends as I am more available for multiple drop ins or can be with your dog easier. I generally like to follow the rules of the owner. I am super respectful and do not want to do anything the owner wouldn't do for their dog themselves. I am very good at following rules and would never take it upon myself to decide things for the pet without consulting with the owner first.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
