“Tamara helped me all week with my French bulldog. She was very punctual and communicative. My frenchie is very sweet but he can be stubborn, Tamara was patient with him. I will book her again in the near future! Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life — three of them, all with different personalities and needs — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I originally went to school for veterinary medicine before changing my major, but that never changed the love I have for furry friends. Walking dogs is peaceful and therapeutic for me, and I’m excited to finally turn this into a hobby and a service I can share with others. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simple companionship. I’m able to adjust easily to each pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. My goal is always to match the rhythm they’re used to and give them the same level of care and comfort they receive with you. My home has a screened lanai with a pool that is not fenced in, and I also have stairs inside the house. The main areas are tile flooring, with carpeted bedrooms for comfort. I keep fresh water bowls easily accessible throughout the home since I have dogs of my own. I’m always mindful of each pet’s safety and make sure the environment matches their needs, energy level, and mobility.
“Jennifer has been sitting for my chocolate lab for just over a year now and from the start, has been THE ANSWER for us! She’s so caring, doting, professional, and my pooch just adores her. She’s knowledgeable and dependable, too, which is critical for a household like mine where I’m always on the go and my lab is committed to her schedule/routine. Thanks, Jennifer!”
About: I do work with clients but I also work with the dogs. Every dog has its own lively hood that is important to cater. A dog doesn’t just need food and water, it needs companionship. Despite working a part time job, my availability is open for most days of the week. As long as I know the time frame, your dogs will be given the best care I can give! To help overcome any fear or anxiety about a stranger in your house, I do offer meet and greets to help provide a peace of mind.
“Tifaney takes such great care of my little guy Teddy. I can tell by the adorable photos she sends that his day is brightened when she comes by. She is also flexible if I need her to pop over an extra day during the week. I highly recommend Tifaney’s services.”
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.

About: I have had so many opportunities to take care of fur babies throughout my life! I lived in a farm for most of it but as an adult I have had my dog all through college up until now. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure every fur baby gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep that routine consistent while you're away. During visits, I'll provide fresh food and water, take your pet on walks or let them out for potty breaks, play with them, give them plenty of love and attention, and clean up after them as needed. I'll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you leave. My goal is to help your fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
“Ellen was absolutely wonderful with Claire. She handled Claire’s energy, quirks, and routines with total confidence and kindness. I got consistent updates, great photos, and could tell Claire felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Highly recommend her for anyone who wants their pup treated like family.”
“Rosemary has been an incredibly dependable and caring dog walker for my senior dog, Lola. She shows up on time, communicates clearly, and handles Lola’s aging needs with such patience and compassion. Her gentle bedside manner gives me real peace of mind, knowing Lola is in thoughtful and capable hands. I’m truly grateful for the care she provides and highly recommend her to anyone with an older or special-needs pup.”
About: I have had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels-from high energy pups who need lots of playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. I'm well versed in basic pet first aid and always pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe capable hands. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, and i take that responsibility seriously. At home, I have a very full (and very spoiled) house-one dog, two cats, and a guinea pig- so I'm used to managing different routines personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them like one of my own-with plenty of attention, care and extra belly rubs! This is currently my main focus so i have a completely open schedule to accommodate pet parents that may need me at all hours based on their needs I have access to several dog friendly parks and trails near my home as well as a crew cab truck so even the largest dogs can enjoy a ride. I also keep a dog seatbelt and pet friendly steps in the truck in case anyone needs a little extra hand getting in

About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a full time job M-F from 9-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Now, as the owner of two spoiled indoor rescue cats, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I typically work from 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on my days off for drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m committed to being dependable and working around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether they need exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also available for cat drop-in visits and understand the importance of keeping cats comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I’ll send photo updates and messages after every visit so you always know how they’re doing. I’m currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and cat care, so your pets can stay comfortable in the familiar surroundings of their own home. As a cat mom to two rescue cats and someone who grew up with four dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box or waste cleanup, playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel secure. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.

Alyssa was so great with my Mom’s mini golden doodle. She helped our family tremendously with morning and evening walks while my Mom recovered from a hospital stay. Our nervous pup quickly became comfortable with Alyssa and even improved her on leash behaviors throughout the week which is a lasting benefit to all of us. We highly recommend her.

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 Sydney. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
