About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.
“Joanna was great getting to know Sandy and was very caring towards her. She asked questions, shared concerns and we shared ways to make her stay more comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Joanna again!”
“I simply can’t thank Maria enough to care for my 3 fur babies for 3 weeks! She was a great communicator, punctual, dependable, and most importantly very loving towards my fur babies! Absolutely will rebook Maria! Highly recommend !!!!!”
“Elizabeth is incredibly kind and caring. She communicates clearly and consistently, and did a wonderful job earning the trust of our nervous dogs. We truly appreciate everything she does—both we and the dogs are very grateful.”
About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))
“Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”
“Julia was very nice and comfortable around our lane and very excited dog. She handled her perfectly and we are looking forward to having her back! I have no doubts that my dog will be in good hands.”
About: I am an active individual with over 10 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I have a small 11.5 year old Yorkie who loves other dogs and invites them happily into our home. We also have a mixed breed dog who is about 1.5 years old. She is a big ball of energy and love! We have a lot of experience with providing senior dogs with a comfortable and extra loving home. I have puppy experience as well! We live on a beautiful property with 4 acres of land. While our yard is not fenced, we sit back from the road and I have taken my friend's dogs out on leash in our yard with no problems. It's a big yard with lots of exploring opportunities. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks at the preserve in our town! My husband and I take care of our Yorkie daily. On the days I have provided availability, I am home for the day/night. This allows me the time to care for another dog with our Yorkie. In the summertime, I plan to have weekday availability as I am a teacher and will be on summer break. I have a beautiful piece of property that while not fenced, sits back from the road and is great for a good walk through the grass on leash. I also love going for walks at our local preserve and live on a road that is pretty quiet that I frequently walk my dog on. I am always happy to stop in for a drop in visit while you are away for the day and need care for your pet. I am happy to crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve helped walk and play with my aunt’s dog and make sure he’s safe and comfortable. I also used to cat sit when I was younger, where I fed, played with, and cared for the cat. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I always make sure they are well cared for and comfortable while their owner is away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I make time for it around my other commitments. I have gymnastics training Mon, Wed, and Fri from 8am-12pm, and Tues and Thurs from 12pm-4pm. I am away on weekends, so I am only available during weekdays outside of those practice times. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can make sure pets still receive reliable and consistent care during my available hours. When walking dogs, I’m focused on safety and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I keep dogs secure on leash and stay alert during walks. I also pay attention to each dog’s behavior to make sure they are comfortable and have a positive experience.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have experience raising both cats and dogs. Our family cat was rescued from the streets as a kitten, and I raised our dog from puppyhood, including training with him at Heavenly Hounds. Since 2025, I’ve also volunteered at SAVE Animal Shelter, where I walk and play with dogs and spend time caring for cats by playing with them, reading to them, and cleaning their cages. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to take the time to understand what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to water plants and clean up any accidents along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with timing to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. At my home, I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live in a large, pet-friendly community with plenty of space to walk and explore. It’s a great environment for dogs to get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and supervised. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your rules, routines, and preferences. I’ll make sure to ask thorough questions ahead of time so I understand your pet’s needs, your home, and anything important I should know. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they and your home are in good hands.
About: have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, and different energy levels. I offer both walking and sitting, and I always adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s a calm, relaxed pace or more active time. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already plan my mornings and evenings around walks and care for my own dog. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with scheduling, so your pet will get consistent attention and care. In my home, I follow a consistent routine with walks, feeding, and making sure my dog feels comfortable and engaged. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule and instructions so they feel safe and stress-free. I focus on keeping things familiar, giving them attention, and making sure their needs are fully met.
“Highly recommend Yaqin. She's fantastic with my doggos! She communicates well and kept me updated with photos and notes on how the walk went. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Couldn't ask for a more reliable, trustworthy dog walker!”
About: I’ve had both a dog and a cat my whole life and have grown up with the responsibility to take care of them whether it be feeding them, taking them for a walk, or spending time with them. I also used to dog sit and walk for my neighbor five days a week while I was still in school. I currently only work 4 days a week and am very flexible with my availability. I enjoy spending time with all animals and love finding new ways to get in my exercise My goal is to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible. Whether that be following a general list of what you prefer for your pets or a detailed agenda.
“Megan was great. Punctual, gave me continuous updates and never hesitated to ask me any questions to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely reach out again for more services and recommend her.”
“Yana is absolutely amazing—dependable, kind, and truly treats our pets like family! Communication is excellent with updates and photos that keep us at ease each day. We highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Alexa, a recent University of Miami graduate and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and birds and have spent the last 10+ years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my family has also been involved with supporting a no-kill animal shelter, which has only strengthened my love for helping animals. I currently have two dogs with completely different personalities, which has taught me how important it is to understand every pet’s individual needs. My 11-year-old dog is calmer, loves relaxing, sunbathing, and getting attention, while my younger rescue dog is energetic, playful, and always ready to run around. Having both has given me experience with senior dogs, rescues, high-energy dogs, and different temperaments. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and giving medications. My dog Bentley has diabetes, so I also have personal experience caring for pets with medical needs and understand how important it is to be attentive, responsible, and follow instructions carefully. I would describe myself as patient, gentle, active, and extremely attentive. I always pay attention to little details, whether that means making sure a dog isn’t overheating outside, keeping fresh water available, noticing changes in behavior, or simply making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I truly see pets as members of the family and will always treat your dog with the same care, kindness, and love that I give my own. Im currently home for the summer and I high flexibility for dog walking, house sitting, and potty breaks. I love to get to know all sorts of pups and appreciate each of their individual likes and personalities. If overnight boarding is foreseeable for the future after initial services with your dog, I would be happy discuss and go over details in a deeper extent.

Chandra did an amazing job walking my dog, Sengay! He came for a meet-and-greet before the scheduled walks, which really put us at ease. He was incredibly attentive, spent extra time walking Sengay, and kept us updated with beautiful photos along the way. His genuine love for dogs is evident in the way he cares for them. I highly recommend Chandra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog walker!

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
