“John was amazing! He followed all guidance and my dog was well taken care of. This was simply my best experience with a sitter and I credit that to John for being attentive, caring, and anticipatory to my pets needs.”
About: I have cared for pets for many years. I have experience working in an animal shelter with dogs and cats, and have additional experience pet-sitting and caring for a variety of animals with a variety of needs- from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even snakes! From my experience, I have a lot of knowledge and ability to manage senior pets, pets with special/health needs, and young animals who may need more care. In addition to my pet care experience, I was raised on an inner-city farm, so I am familiar with the work, time, and care that should be devoted to animals of all kinds. I am currently a full-time college student- I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule and am happy to work with you based on what you and your fur babies need. Please share any specific schedule needs with me so I know how best to cater to your pet(s). I am comfortable and capable with many aspects of pet (cat, dog, rabbit, chicken, reptile, etc) care- including walking, crating, feeding, administering medication, and anything else that your pet may need!
“Sarah was very good at communication and punctual with her schedule. She was observant and provided detailed feedback about Luna and her behavior. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for walking Luna.”
“Graeme started working with us last week. He’s been excellent at taking the time necessary to let our nervous pup warm up to him so that she can build confidence in their relationship. She’s looking forward to many more great walks with him!”
“We really enjoyed having Alexandra as our dog walker! She took great care of our dog (and even played with our cat) when she came to our house for a couple days. We will definitely be asking her for help in the future!”
“Josh was so great with Walker!!! He definitely spent more than the 30 minutes "advertised" walking and playing with my dog. I also felt that my dog was in great hands because of Josh's background. I would absolutely use him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, with different energy levels and needs for decades. I’ve volunteered for rescues and fostered puppies and seniors. I am comfortable administering meds, giving baths, working on manners, caring for reactive pups, and will go out of my way to meet your dog’s needs. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time for long walks and playing with pups on both weekdays and weekends (yes, I am very lucky). I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure that your pet is happy and safe. A pet’s safety is always my number one priority.
“Sydney was fantastic with our golden retriever! She was prompt and dependable, and she adapted to our crazy travel schedule. Very grateful to have such a pup lover in our area. Our dog got very conditioned to his daily walk and started looking for Sydney’s car—she’s his new best friend!”
“Georgia is great! I have two small dogs, one being a puppy, and she made accommodations to ensure my dogs were happy! Will definitely use Georgia again! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated carer for their pets!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, bunnies, small farm animals, and reptiles/amphibians since I was about 8 years old. Family members, neighbors, friends, and strangers have trusted and depended on me to take care of their beloved animals while they are away. I have experience walking, feeding, cleaning, and playing with animals. I have a pretty open schedule at the moment and can visit your pet anytime you’d like! My calendar is regularly updated so please check my calendar for my availability. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I will follow any and all directions you leave me for taking care of your animal and would love to meet up before our booking to see if it is a good fit and to learn from you about how you care for your animal.
“Dina is THE best!!! It was so nice knowing that Chance would be taken care of and loved on. I love the sweet photos of them together. Great communication and overall a lovely human being ❤️ so glad I found her”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, and chickens since my youth! I love connecting with and protecting animals and would be honored to take care of your pet! I have experience raising kittens and puppies and could assist with yours :) I work full time but I have a very flexible schedule and work from home 50% of the time. Depending on your needs, I can switch my schedule around to stay with your pet! I don’t have a yard but I love going for walks and would love to take your pup (or cat if they love walks!) out as much as they allow me! I have a cat but he loves making friends and if your cat or dog is unable to stay in my home due to him I can always put them in separate rooms, or come to you!
“Kaylee is so sweet and loving to all our dogs. She is super attentive to each one's individual needs, and extra caring of our senior pup with a brace on one of his paws. Due to a family emergency recently, we had to book last minute for a few days -- and they were very helpful, fitting us into their schedule immediately! We are lucky to have found such a great match, making us confident that our dogs are in great hands whenever they go on walks with Kaylee.”

Claudia is a gem! I was a little nervous having someone I don’t know come to the house to walk/care for my dog and pup. She came the day before for a meet and greet and she completely put me at ease. She is a natural with dogs, is professional, and so kind. When we were gone she sent us photos of them and let us know via text how it went. I will definitely hire her in the future! Thank you Claudia.

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 South Hill. 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 a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in South Hill after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

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 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.
