“Sarah is truly great! Upon meeting her, the dog instantly took a liking to her (and the cat did not take off under the bed). She quickly jumped in and has been a blessing as she comes in and gives the dog a potty break and a chance to stretch her legs/burn off some energy. My puppy is a giant breed so her playful mess can be "a lot." Her photos of their walk and the time she takes to love on the cat are a bright spot in my work day. And best of all, I don't worry about my girls while I'm away.”

About: Since I’ve had a lab from puppy to sending him off puppy heaven 😭 I am well experienced with taking care of any dog in all stages of life. Now I help with friends and family’s puppies when needed. I am currently working remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! As an active person, walks are always more enjoyable with a companion. Understanding every dog is handled differently, I can accommodate to what your routine is! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what your pup's feeding schedule, potty habits, or any specific rules you follow at home are so I can keep their day as normal as possible.

“Denise was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request on a holiday weekend to check in on my dog while I was out of town and take her on walks. She quickly set up a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet my dog, learn exactly what was needed, and get familiar with the routine. She communicated with me throughout my trip by sending photos and updates to let me know how everything was going. She even alerted me after noticing that someone else (besides her) might’ve been in my home between walks, which I REALLY appreciated. My dog clearly adored her and responded very well to her care. I’d trust Denise with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

About: My family has worked with rescue groups since I was little, so taking care of dogs and cats is second-nature to me! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets for years and I have two of my own dogs that are my fur-babies and get only the best love and attention. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own! I am home full-time and my husband works from home, so there will always be someone here with the dogs. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays as needed. I can check on your pets at your house and take them on regular walks. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for easy access to the backyard, if your pet can't decide on in or out. I have two friendly dogs to play with and can crate your pet if they would be more comfortable in their own space.

About: I’m new to this app, but not new to caring for animals. I’ve regularly pet sat, walked, and played with pets for multiple clients and I’ve also gained hands-on experience working at an animal shelter. I have experience with energetic puppies as well as large breed and reactive dogs. Back home, I have a Pitbull and a Belgian Malinois, so I’m very comfortable with strong, intelligent, high energy breeds and the structure and attention they thrive on. However I also have experience with small dogs that love to give cuddles and chill. I am an adaptive caregiver. My availability is fairly open and flexible as I work from home and currently in between jobs. Normally I wake up early to take the dogs for a morning walk and do 1-2 potty breaks during the day then finally an evening walk after dinner. I currently live in an apartment and have multiple grassy areas around. I am also very close to walking trails that I myself frequent. I am flexible and will follow any rules or recommendations you have to make your pet feel safe and at home around me.

About: I worked at the SPCA for 3 years when I was younger, taking care of shelter dogs. In high school, I wanted to be a vet and had lots of vet training classes. I also interned at a vet clinic my last year of high school. I have changed my career path since then, but I still love working with animals and they are an integrated part of my life. My mom recently got a puppy and I’ve been having a fun time dog training🦮❤️❤️ I’m currently a full time student at college and I’ve been needing a new job. I know it’s easy for me to care for animals so I will just fit that into any free time I have. I will care for your pet in your home. It really depends on what your wanting and the specific needs of the particular animal. I will use my past knowledge and your instruction to care for your animal. Feeding, playing, walking or just hanging out and giving your pet some company:)

About: I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine.

I treat every pet like family and follow their routine closely. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a newly renovated dog park, perfect for walks, playtime, and plenty of fun!

About: What sets me apart is my deep love and dedication to dogs of all ages! With 5 years of experience, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on knowledge in caring for dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I’m not just about feeding and walking—I'm all about making dogs feel at home, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also got a knack for puppy training, whether it’s basic obedience or fun tricks, and I’m experienced in senior dog care, making sure they get the extra love and attention they deserve. Your pup will feel like they’re on a mini vacation with me! Working remotely gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can provide consistent attention, whether it's frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just giving cuddles during work breaks. My schedule allows me to be present for walks, meals, and even some training sessions, ensuring your pet gets all the care they need without being rushed. Plus, with no office to go to, your dog has me all day to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on providing personalized care in your pet's own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. During drop-ins, I check in on your pet, provide food, fresh water, playtime, and any necessary potty breaks. If I’m walking your dog, I make sure to keep it fun, safe, and suited to their energy level—whether it's a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll. I always prioritize your pet’s routine, safety, and happiness, making sure they feel well cared for even when you're not around.

About: This is Xueting and Hongbaoyan, we have been lived in Columbus, Ohio for 8 years and just moved to Plano, Texas in 2022! We have taken care of various dogs for our families and have always been living around dogs. Five years ago my husband and I got our own dog Moka and we were so excited! We learned thoroughly on how to train a puppy to do potty training as well as many simple tricks. We also helped our friends when they first got their pets, and now we decided to extend our service to you and your lovely pet! We normally walk dogs 3 - 4 times everyday, regardless good or bad weather. We will follow your feeding instructions strictly and try our best to accommodate your schedule. And we’d also love to take them out for a drive, hiking or plan something fun during the weekends, of course with your permission! We send ton of pictures and videos daily to update you how your baby is doing at our place, so that you can feel comfortable during vacation or travel! We live in a house and have a large balcony with plenty of room. We usually allow dogs on sofa and other furniture, and we can crate them if you ask. We have a five years old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Moka, and he is super friendly with all people and all kinds of dogs. He is very playful and never barks. He would love to meet some new friends and keep your dog company! I’m working from home on a rotational basis so I have plenty of time taking care of your pet! We will provide a lot of cuddles and will never leave your pet alone for more than 1 hour anytime during the day. We prefer weekends boarding so that we can have many fun activities with your dog. We have crate in our house in case there is a need to separate dogs. And we pay close attention to the dogs when they interact with each other to make sure they play gently. We follow the care instructions strictly and respect anything you would do for your pet.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was younger. I have 10+ years of experience when it comes to dog sitting and house sitting. I always make sure to accompany the pet as often as possible so that they feel cared for and less anxious being away from their owner. I aim to provide the best service and care for pets. I am able to care for your pets or stay overnight any day of the week. My girlfriend who is also verified on Rover helps me with my dog sitting jobs. Thank you! In a client’s home, I can feed, walk, and entertain your pet as needed. I can make sure they have water and food available before I leave to work and I can also put the pet in a crate if the owner asks.

About: Hi I have been pet sitting for friends and family for over 15 years and have experience with all types of dogs. I'm able to stay on top of their medications and even take them to the vet and groomers during the time you are using my services. Your dog will be a temporarily addition to our family and we have a super pet friendly house. They are allowed on all furniture's and can sleep in our bed with me at night. During the day someone will always be with them and your pet is able to take as many potty breaks as he/she may need. We have a large fenced in yard that they can enjoy. I understand how difficult it is to leave your pet and find a right place for them and I'm here to help you by offering my home and services. I’m currently not working and have plenty of time to play with your pet and provide them with additional love while you are gone. Dogs and cats are all welcomed to our home. Your pet will be ruling our home as we do not have restrict rules about them being on our couch or bed. We do have a fenced in backyard.

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

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

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.
