“Diana is personable, kind, and very patient with our 5 month old French bulldog! We are so grateful and happy to have found a trustworthy friend for him who understands his needs intuitively :) he waits patiently for her to walk and play!”
“Ella provided top flight and very loving care for my 12 y/o diabetic miniature schnauzer. Ella goes above and beyond walking, feeding, and giving medicine, she gives hugs, kisses and companionship to my Dillon. On top of all that she checks his water, washes his food bowl and provides a detailed report of their time together. I would absolutely recommend Ella to care for your pet. You will have peace of mind that your pet is safe and well cared for.”
“Lindsay was great with my dogs. She went above and beyond to make my dogs feel safe. She was on time and took good care of my dogs who can be high maintenance at times. I recommend her and would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Having Karen as our dog walker is such a relief. I never have to worry whether or not she's going to get to my house to walk Kailani. Karen is ultra professional super reliable. I recommend her highly.”
About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and more, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially attentive to small details — like changes in behavior, appetite, or mood — so I can make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I have experience with energetic dogs who need structured walks and patience, as well as more sensitive or anxious pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and maintaining clean, safe environments (including litter boxes, cages, and feeding areas). What really sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give — I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I care for multiple animals at home, including dogs and cats, so I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule for feeding, cleaning, and giving each pet attention. I make time daily for walks, playtime, and bonding, and I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs. Caring for animals isn’t something I do occasionally—it’s part of my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular potty breaks or exercise depending on their needs. I’m very attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if something seems off. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel reassured while they’re away. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: As a proud dog owner of two family dogs, I have hands on experience caring for pets every day. Taking care of them has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have also dog sat for family members and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners were away. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely passionate about animals. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for last minute bookings, drop in visits, and walks whenever needed. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive plenty of exercise and attention, and have a clean living space. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed and monitoring their surroundings. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing dependable and loving care for each pet.
“Stella is always so happy to see Michael ! Always on time and able to handle her puppy energy. He even took her out on Thanksgiving in the rain since I am out of town. I am so glad to have him around when I have to go away for a while, it is always a pleasure working with him!”
“Alec was highly recommended to me and I am so happy to have found him! He clearly loves animals, my dog Remy was thrilled. And he was really flexible with regards to my last minute request. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”
“Caroline was fantastic!!! Highly recommend her!!! She was very mindful of our doodle on their walk! Lots of pictures! She even let our 2nd much older dog (who can’t walk much) out while she was heading out as a just in case. We’re so thankful!”
About: Hi! I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of animal experience. I studied animal science as an undergrad and will be starting veterinary school this winter. I have also worked in veterinary clinics over the past few years, providing me with experience in administering medications and providing care for animals with specific needs. I am comfortable caring for animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes! I'm a fairly active person who loves the outdoors, so I am always up for long walks or simply playing in the yard. I have some extra time before starting veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule that I am looking forward to filling with your furry family members! I currently have a very flexible schedule before I begin veterinary school this winter, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care for your pets throughout the week, including weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my experience in veterinary clinics and animal care, I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
About: I take pride in giving pets the best time they can have while their owners are away! I’ve always been an animal lover and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I can watch your dog and/or cat. love dog walking and have dog sat for plenty of neighbors, friends, and family over the years. Now that I’m on Rover, I’m loving making connections with new pets and their owners. A little more about me and my professional experience: I work at an animal shelter part time where I provide care mostly for kittens and cats and at a dog groomer where I love on all the pups and make them look their best! I am going to vet tech school as well to learn about the overall health of animals. Something fun: I can teach your pet tricks while I watch them! Right now, I am working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. Just let me know your schedule and I’ll get back to you. I will take the best care of your home and treat it as if it is my own. I leave places the same as or better than how I found them. I don’t mind cleaning up any pet messes.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes as naturally to me as anything. When I got my puppy four years ago, I dedicated myself fully to his training and development, spending every day with him through those early months to make sure he grew into the happy, well-behaved dog he is today. I also have experience with the more challenging side of pet care. My older dog had diabetes, and I spent a great deal of time managing his condition, administering medication daily, and making sure his final years were as comfortable and loving as possible. It taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Beyond my own dogs, I've spent years babysitting, walking, and watching dogs for friends and neighbors. Animals have always been drawn to me, as I have a natural calm with them that puts even shy or anxious pets at ease. While I'm new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience. Whether it's a long walk, a trip to the park, or just cuddling up with their favorite toys, I pour real love into every visit. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I'll treat them like my own every single time. I recently graduated from college and will be starting my Master of Social Work program at NYU in September. I am available all summer and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I'm currently based in Plainview, Long Island, where I'm free and flexible for any and all pet care needs throughout the summer. Come September, I'll be living in New York City, where I'll be available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and open to extended stays on weekends. Whether you're on Long Island or in the city, I'd love to help care for your pup! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience both crating and not crating dogs, so I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup. If needed, I can crate them safely when stepping out, or leave them with a frozen treat and a favorite toy to keep them calm and comfortable, especially if they experience separation anxiety, as my own dog does! I tailor every visit to the individual dog. Whether your pup needs a long, energetic walk or a short and easy stroll, I'll follow their lead. I'm always attentive on walks, making sure they don't pick up anything harmful off the street, and equally watchful in the home to keep them safe and out of trouble. Most importantly, your dog will never be short on love. I'll give them all the pets, cuddles, and attention they could ever want because I truly love animals!!

I reached out to Abigail super last minute as I had to take a last minute trip and she didn’t hesitate to help. She walked Nala three days straight, followed all instructions, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nala was in such caring hands while I was away in Florida. I will absolutely book again!!

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.
