About: I have taken care and owned dogs/cats of my own mostly my whole life but especially in the last 10 years! I love cats and dogs and believe they make our lives fuller! I am happy to walk, play, & care for your dog in any way! I currently own two pets! A 1 year old bernadoodle and a 4 month old mini doxie! I am happy to help train & care for puppies as well. I can make time for any pet needs you may have currently. I am available most of the week and can come early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I care for pets with the same attention, patience, and love that I would give my own pets. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise and playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I’m responsible about following feeding instructions, medications if needed, and any special requests from the owner. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel happy, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away. I also have experience with rescue pets as well and understand the patience and care needed for them!
“I’m so glad I found Melissa! She walks my girl Betty each week on long days while I’m at work! She is so sweet and patient with Betty. Melissa helps give me peace of mind while I’m at work that Betty is getting positive attention and exercise. I appreciate her so much!”
“Tiffany has been a godsend. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, and I know I can trust her to take care of my pups. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies.”

All furry friends are allowed on furniture/beds throughout the house, taken on walks if requested and given enrichment activities throughout the day. Pictures updated included with every booking!! 🐾 I work at the childrens hospital 3 days a week, so the remaining 4 days i’m home all day to ensure the best care possible is given!

“Emerson has truly made a difference in my dogs life as well as her humans! She is a 6 year old Australian Shepard. We have had some changes in work schedules over the last couple years and I had slowly started to see changes in her that were not positive. She has always been protective of her mom but her anxiety was making it hard for her to listen when she was in a certain state of mind. He came in and helped teach me the tools I needed to help put her focus on things other than what is causing her to work herself up to a nip. She is a smart dog, I just needed help understanding her more. Theses tools will forever make a difference in our home & I am grateful! 10000% give him a chance, he is great He walks her weekly too & she may be protective of her home but he handles her so well.”
About: Hi there :) Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve had the opportunity to care for all kinds of animals over the years, including fostering, and every experience has reminded me just how different each animal’s personality and needs can be. I’m also a very proud cat mom to two cats who are truly my life. They’ve taught me that caring for an animal is about so much more than food and play time. It’s about learning their little quirks, respecting their boundaries, earning their trust, and becoming someone they feel comfortable around! That’s what I hope to be for your pet, a safe, familiar person they can trust while you’re away. I love getting to know an animal on their terms and building that bond with them. Your pet’s wellbeing will always be my first priority. I’m always happy to meet beforehand, especially for longer spans of care, so you can feel comfortable with me and we can see how your pet and I connect. I want you to feel confident that when you leave them with me, they’re not just being looked after but truly being cared for and loved in a way that best fits their needs! I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to work with you on timing and make sure your furry baby gets plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away! I’ll be caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home, where they already feel safe and familiar. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable with me. I’ll also send regular pictures and updates, so you never have to wonder how your furry baby is doing!!
About: I started my dog care profession walking dogs in New York City! Ever since I’ve had a strong bond with animals. A long term goal is to become a professional trainer. I currently work part time, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m fairly active, going on walks several times a day, so I would love company! I’m all about love! Snuggles & cuddles, lots of play, and cleanliness is ensured with my services. My goal is to leave your fur child worn out & like I was never even there!
About: My work schedule allows me to WFH and take long walks with cute dogs. I have a friendly 1.5 year old golden doodle who is with me half of the time. I work from home so my schedule allows for walk or run breaks. I love to be outside, so no walk is too long or short. I have a fenced in yard and an almost 2 year old friendly and playful golden doodle who is with me half of the time.
“Macy is reliable and does a great job with my dog. I am thankful for Macy’s help in this month post-surgery where I cannot walk her myself. It has been nice to keep her routine.”
About: I'm thorough, quick to learn, and have a calm presence that pets are very responsive to. My mom is a vet tech so I've had plenty of foster babies both young and old, healthy or not so much, this means I'm not afraid of any extenuating circumstances you may have with your pets. Oral medications, topicals and even injections are no problem. I'm happy to be there for your extra special pet. I am not working full-time right now so I am available all day for you and your pets. I do have a couple of regular walks during the week but not too much. I have pets of my own so I'm capable of bringing just about any supply or tool that might be needed. While I would prefer not to stay in a clients home full-time I would be willing to make arrangements for pets that need it as I have a disabled pet of my own and understand the need for more thorough attention to these animals. In my home, I'm capable of housing a free roaming dog that is friendly with other animals (cats and dogs) or a dog that requires some light crating. I have a full sized dog crate in my home for my dog when he needs it and a couple more in storage as well as an outdoor kennel and two decently-sized fenced yards.
About: We love all dogs young or old and have experience with all types including deaf and blind. We are retired so we enjoy each moment doing what we love. My husband Johnny is a dog whisperer, seriously! Lol All animals love him. We only keep one family’s dog(s) at a time. We are retired so we are available 7 days a week. Should we have an appointment we could secure your pup in its cage or in our kitchen. Our intention is to always be here with the pets we sit. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time but we are available to walk them too. We consider pets as family members and enjoy our time with them. We also can stay at your home and care for them in their own environment.
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn. I am 26 years old with an Bachelor of Science degree. I have a passion of caring for animals. I have 1 dog named Leo, he is an American Staffordshire Pitbull. I’ve had him since 2020 when he was 3 months old. I have been dog sitting for 6 years now. I have experience working in a dog daycare for 3 years. My additional duties working in a dog daycare involved keeping the kennels clean of waste, dog fur, stray food and water, and other material that keep dogs from being comfortable away from their owners. I enjoy being able to play and have fun with dogs. While walking your dog I will make sure he/she stays dehydrated throughout the summer/winter. Feel free to contact me about any questions you have or concerns and times that I am available to care. Thank you!

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 Village. 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 The Village after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.
