“Kaelee walked our dog Bilbo twice this week and she was great! She was prompt and communicative in scheduling, got to know Bilbo a bit before the walk, and was careful walking him around busy roads. I appreciated that she helped us by not reinforcing his barking/jumping when greeting someone too.”
About: I’ve taken care of several pets my whole life! I truly enjoy dealing with all kinds of breeds and ages for both dogs and cats. También hablo español! I am a full time student and also work part time during the weekends . My available days are Monday to Thursday in the afternoon to late evenings. I’m open to discuss any time frame that works for you! I will do my best to make sure to understand your pet needs. Being aware of surroundings, understanding walking routes, behavior management, and any other instructions requested by the owner.
“Kiana is great! She’s very experienced with animals and Rover so we wanted to book her asap. She took my two dogs for a walk and gave me updates on them, which is my favorite part. She was very flexible with our last minute booking needs. 10/10 will book again!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Tyler as our dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Tyler is consistently on time, which is a huge relief for our busy schedule. His communication skills are excellent; he keeps me informed about how our dog is doing during walks and is always open to any questions I have. What truly stands out is how well he follows our care instructions. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about our dog’s well-being, and that gives us peace of mind. Our dog is not only safe but also incredibly happy after spending time with Tyler. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Thank you, Tyler, for providing such wonderful care!”
“Mitch is a wonderful dog walker! & incredibly punctual, precise, and took amazing care of our dog. Our pup absolutely loves spending time with Mitch. Thanks so much, Mitch for all your help!”
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I had a border Collie for 17 years now an American shepherd for 1.5 years and he's fully trained already he's great just still a pup. Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be. Im basically free all week during the times everyone is working. Well my dog i train and make sure he's behaving before he gets a reward. I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
About: I believe I am well suited for hands-on animal care and observation because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and helping them feel safe and comfortable. My life experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of earning trust—qualities that allow me to connect with animals and provide the attentive, gentle care they deserve. I take pride in being dependable, observant, and willing to put in the time and effort needed to support their health and well-being. I’m home the majority of the time with an outing or two a day. The outing can last as long as 3 and a half hours. I take a half hour morning walk and can take a second walk after dinner. Your pet will be treated like family. I pay attention to their noises and motions to better understand their needs. I will walk the dog outside on their leash to relieve themself and feed them on their schedule.
About: I have cared for my own pups and cats ever since I was four. Over the years, I’ve had a few hamsters, and I currently have a nine year-old Shih Tzu whom I adore. I just graduated from Wilson College where I did a few years of Veterinary Nursing. I am extremely passionate about animal care. I’ve gained valuable experience from working at a pet store for three years and from completed a year-long Veterinary Assistant program, which was extremely beneficial and geared my initial career choices. I am quite active and would love to take animals on walks or runs as needed throughout the day. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and playing with them. Additionally, I am comfortable administering medication, feeding, bathing, and brushing. I find cleaning quite stress-relieving, so I assure you that cleanliness is important to me. Your space and animal will be treated with the utmost respect. Do you need your plants watered? Fish fed? Dust levels maintained to a minimum? I am happy to assist with these services as well! I am home from college and decided to get right back into Pet sitting. I have plenty of time with my remote internship to take care of one of my favorite things in this world: Animals. Pets fit perfectly with my daily and weekly routine. Caring for pets in my home or a client's home can vary depending on the specific needs of the pets. 1. Routine: I try to Establish a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime and /or go with a routine as similar as their usual one as I can. 2.Communication: Discuss the pet's routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions with the client. Maintain communication throughout the whole stay and beforehand. 3. Updates: I Keep the client updated on their pet's well-being through messages or photos. 4. Respect: I Treat the client's home with respect and follow any house rules they have set.
About: Hi! I have had pets my whole life. Growing up we had dogs and then beginning in 2006, I adopted my first cat and ultimately turned my family into cat lovers (we have 8 kitties between the various family members). I’ve personally used Rover for the last year for cat sitters during some family travel and have been so impressed with the service that I wanted to become a sitter myself. I am currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of time between school and/or camp drop-offs and pick-ups to play with doggies and kitties. I am eager to increase my daily step count, so dog walking would be a perfect addition to my walk. Occasionally my animal loving boys might be with me on the job. Both are ver gentle. I would care for all of your pets in the comfort and safety of your home, yard, and/or neighborhood. I believe pets thrive on familiar environments.

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 Slackwater. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Slackwater.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.
