“Emma is wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She’s punctual and responsive! While we were gone our dog had a little accident and she cleaned it up for us and made sure there was not a stain left on our new rug! We would definitely recommend Emma and plan to use her services again!”

About: I am very attentive in my care giving. There is nothing more important than a safe, loving, and fun environment for your fur baby! I will be your dogs new best friend! My love for animals began when I was small child. Animals are amazing and bring so much joy to our lives... I want to give some of that joy back! I am looking for a fulfilling career doing what I love most, caring for animals and helping those in need. I am very active and believe in daily regular exercise for myself... so walking your dog will be a breeze - (and an additional calorie burning workout for me as well!!) You and your dog will love the attention and care I have to offer!! I work full time and live close by to my home, so potty breaks won’t be missed. I am available most weekends and holidays. I am open to special requests, should you need an extra day or two. I will ensure a safe place for your fur baby while staying at my home by providing a neat, clean space and lots of attention and love!

About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.

About: I grew up with big dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience pet sitting both during the day and for overnight stays, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes—from small pups to big dogs—as well as cats. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have lots of love, attention, and care to give yours! I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and would love to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I teach at an outdoor school from 8:30–2:30 and am typically home by 3:00 every day, giving me plenty of afternoon and evening availability for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. My schedule is consistent and predictable, so it’s easy for me to build your pet’s routine into my day. I’m also available for overnight care and weekends! I want pets to feel as comfortable and at home with me as possible! I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and downtime, while giving them plenty of love and attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍 I work from home for a local tech company. I am very flexible with my schedule and am available for walks, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. Weekends and overnights are welcome too! Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. On top of growing up with the responsibility to help care for our pets, I’ve also been a go-to pet sitter for many of my friends and family throughout the years. I love getting outside for walks or play dates at the park! I can also assist with bathing or any other needs your pet may need. I’m working towards getting my real estate license and for now, I have an open schedule I’d love to fill! I’m up early and enjoy being outside and would love to start bringing some pups along my morning/afternoon walks! I live in a great community that has a dog park and lots of walking trails! So getting exercise and outdoors is no problem at all. My home is dog friendly. I do have a cat but she minds her business and it would be very easy to keep her separate from any pups if need be.😊

About: I have had a dog since I was born! We always had family dogs growing up that I took care of and loved on. I have a golden retriever of my own. He is two and loves walks, water play and tennis balls. I would love to walk your pups and watch your animals in my free time! I am a nurse and I work different days each week but will always have full availability 4 days out of the week. I am free after work as well! One of my favorite activities is walking so I would be more than happy to add a few for your furry friends. I am free during the weekends and after 430 pm on week days. I will be flexible for those afternoon and weekend needs. I have a dog park at my apartment complex and take my pup to surrounding parks. I have a large lanai with dog toys as well! I love taking him to the dog beaches on cooler afternoons.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and clean their pets. I try to treat the dogs like I would treat my human clients when I'm training them. I will be available to work Monday through Sunday, times vary depending on when you need me. I take off Saturdays for Sabbath so I don't do any work on that day. I will come by to take your dog for a walk, depending on how long of a walk your dog needs, up to 45 minutes max. Dogs are air cooled animals so they cannot be out in the heat for very long.

About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Since I work with dogs full time I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding, sitting, and drop ins. I let the dogs outside typically every two hours or less. Caring for pups is my main daily priority! While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. My dog and I like to go for sniff walks so pups that stay with me and like walking will go with us for those. They will also be spending time in the fenced area of the yard or pool cage while I am with them supervising, if it is not too hot outside. I have crates if I need to kennel any pup.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner who understands how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. I’m Pet Sitters International certified, and I am insured. I have a medical assistant background, so I’m comfortable giving medications including injections and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adjust walks and visits to your pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home Monday through Thursday, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks and drop-in visits. Friday through Sunday I’m usually in the Gulf Gate neighborhood and can often accommodate visits there as well. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to work pet care around each pet’s normal routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. During drop-in visits, I also make sure pets are comfortable and secure before I leave, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on age, energy level, personality, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I have the time to pop in every few hours as I am self employed locally. I love animals, I have a senior American Bulldog. Have also had a chow and a springer spaniel. I have also had my fair share of cats. I have experience with a cat that had diabetes and needed insulin. I will treat your pet as my own. I am available seven days a week and can be there all day or every 2 hours. I am used to small teacup breeds and great danes alike, as I clean houses, and see them all. I have a level 2 background, so you can rest easy, knowing who is in home. Hope to talk to you and your best friend soon.

About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and have enjoyed caring for them since I can remember. I currently live with my pet bird, snake, and two lizards. My professional experience is in the wildlife field so I am passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience in enrichment creation and enjoy finding new and exciting ways to keep your dog mentally and physically healthy. I’m currently in my off-season for wildlife work, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I will be starting a new job at the end of September but can make consistent weekly arrangements. Living with a bird, I am constantly cleaning so this is part of my routine when caring for other peoples pets as well. I am able to bring your pets in my car if needed as well.

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 Meadows. 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.

All bookings are backed by the , 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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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.

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.
