“I highly recommend Sabrina! She is punctual, gave my dog tons of attention, played with him, and took him on great walks. Communication was a breeze—she responded quickly to every message. My pup was happy and well-cared for every time!”
“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”

I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets)..

About: I grew up in a farm when I was little. I would feed the cows and the chickens in the morning. At the age of 7 I had bunnies and would take care of them. At the age of 8 I had my own calf as my pet her mother died so I fed her milk in the mornings. At the age of 9 I moved in with my dad and I started my dog loving journey. My love of dogs started with our first rescue her name was Nena. She was very playful and such a wonderful dog, that made me want to dogsit. I started dog siting at 12 and my passion for animals only grew stronger. I just now started my dog siting business again. I am currently in college for nursing. My free time is Friday through Sunday. I want to make sure all my attention is guided toward taking care of your dog which is why I dog sit Friday-Sunday. Your pets are normally kept in my room so that way my full attention is in them. I feed them according to their plan. From the time I wake up they will be taken outside every 2 hours to do their business. I also play with them if you bring toys. They have to bring their bed,food,food and water bowl. Toys are optional.
“Kim was fantastic with my fur baby. She gave extra attention to her and gave great updates about Molly. It's so nice to have someone that you can trust with your special needs dog”
About: I worked in the veterinary hospital setting as a tech for nearly 15 years. I now own a small business and miss having my hand in the game so pet sitting and rescues are my hobby. I work as a locksmith so I’m on call all the time but only leave the house a few times in short bursts. A lot of my work is at a desk and I’m often interrupted for play time anyways by my own dog, the more the merrier. Walks, playtime, food, water, and scritches. There is a dog park across the street and a walking trail a stones throw away from my home, Buddy (my dog) gets walks at least four times a day (the route is 0.5 miles per my smart watch) depending on how demanding he is, and the dog park is a must every morning rain or shine.

About: I’ve taken cared for dogs since I was a kid, sat since I was a teenager, and can provide your pup with the best care possible. I know dog training basics, so can keep up any training regimen you’re working on. I’m happy to give frequent walks, and even runs for energetic pups if needed. I also don’t work a normal 9-5, so your Fido will never be along for an entire day. I work part-time early mornings, every day, so for sitting I’m never gone for more than 5 hours. For daytime services I’m available anytime after 10am. I always ensure consistent scheduling for feedings and outings. I’m always early for walks and drop-ins, so no need to worry about flakiness. Glad to adhere to any other instructions, be they training related, feeding and care, or whatever else your pup needs. For energetic pups I’m happy to go for runs as well.

I live in a gated apartment community with plenty of places to walk and play, including a fenced-in dog park. I’m home a lot, so pets staying with me will get plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and of course lots of love! I’m also happy to stay at a client’s home if their pet is more comfortable in their own space. I’ll stick to their normal routine as much as possible and follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else they may need. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Growing up I had a dog named Toby and Kallie the cat! We’d be responsible for taking Toby on walks, feeding him, administering medication, and of course showing both of them major love and affection. My work schedule is very flexible so I’m able to adjust according to your pup’s needs. I work from home on occasion and would be happy to have some canine company in the house.

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 Startex. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
