About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether it's a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping your pet company, I'll treat them like they're my own. I know how important it is to feel confident while you're away, so I'll provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication throughout every visit. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I myself have 3 dogs and they are basically like my children 😂. I keep my schedule organized so I can provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening drop-in visits, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of care. During every drop-in visit, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks as needed. I'll follow your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you're away. I also make sure your home is left just as I found it and will provide photo updates and messages so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give every pet a safe, fun, and caring experience while you're away. Also If your pet enjoys walks, I'll make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise at a pace that's comfortable for them.
“Tony has been an outstanding dog walker. From the beginning, it was evident that he approaches his responsibilities with attentiveness and professionalism. What distinguishes Tony is his genuine commitment to enhancing my dogs' well-being, consistently seeking ways to support both myself and my pets with care and expertise. He is reliable, communicative, and demonstrates a sincere dedication to his work, which is greatly appreciated. My dogs hold him in high regard, and I feel fortunate to have found someone so attentive and passionate. Ultimately, my dogs are very fortunate to have his care and companionship. Thanks Tony!!”
About: Hello, I’m Mallory and I have 3 dogs and a ferret that I adore! I am comfortable with almost any indoor pet, including rodents and reptiles. I was a member of FFA in high school and showed goats in youth fairs for several years. Throughout my childhood and adult life, there have been 2-5 pets in the household, as well as outdoor livestock. Rest assured the following will be provided during your pet’s stay: Fresh food and water, adequate indoor/outdoor playtime, neighborhood walks, baths, and several comfortable resting areas. I will make sure your furry companion feels safe and happy while you enjoy your time away! I work part-time from home and have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. If I leave the house for any reason, I always return within 2-3 hours for potty breaks. I am able to pick up and drop off due to my flexible schedule. My dogs are nothing if not spoiled! However, they are supervised almost 24/7 and have ample opportunities to play or potty within my fully fenced yard. My 3 dogs will keep your furry friend company, if you so wish. My dogs have free rein to the furniture, living, kitchen and dining areas whether I am home or not. If you are more comfortable with your pet in a crate when I am away, that can be arranged. In addition, my dogs have access to their food and water all day, but it can be put away if your pet has a special feeding schedule. I am very flexible and understand all pets have different needs and personalities!
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life! My neighbors, friends, & family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies while they leave for vacation or whatever it may be. I’m very flexible as far as drop ins! I can come early in the morning or late at night, whichever you prefer. I can come as many times a day as needed. I rescue dogs & cats! They always seem to find me one way or another. At this time I currently have 5 dogs & 8 cats (inside & outside cats), and a rabbit. Really wanting a prairie dog but still undecided.
About: I have had a deep love for animals ever since I was a child. I've had all kinds of pets from iguanas to chameleons and many more :) I have had 3 years of pet sitting experience. And it has always been a really fun little hobby that I enjoy. What really drew me to love dogs was when I got my puppy Emma❤️. She was my baby growing up and ever since dogs have had a special place with me ☺️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals on my family’s farm over the past 8 years. I've helped take care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which has taught me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and how to handle animals with different needs and temperaments. As a college student home for the summer, I fit pet care into my daily routine by planning around my work schedule and training. I work as a lifeguard in Temple and I'm a college athlete so I must get my workout in each day. I make time for feeding, walking, or checking in on pets, depending on what's needed. My schedule is flexible in the summer months. I ensure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, with fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, dietary needs, or favorite toys and activities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each pet’s well-being as if they were my own.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.
“Kaylee is reliable and has been very understanding when our hectic schedules have changed last minute. Our Milo has enjoyed those afternoon walks so much! Will definitely continue using her services!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a child. I’ve had turtles, dogs, cats, a snake, geckos, ferrets, and rats! All of my animals have or have had play areas, toys, treats, and enrichment activities. Depending on the animal and their personal needs, they also get outside time. I’m currently working full-time on Rover, so I have ample time to take care of your furry companions and ensure they receive all the necessary care. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs. All my animals have or have had playrooms or designated areas where they can relax and enjoy themselves.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mostly my own and some family friends’ when they go on vacation. I’ve mostly dealt with smaller dogs but I have no problem with larger dogs. I currently own two dogs and one is a senior dog so he requires a little more attention. I can do basic care such as feeding and going for walks but I can also bathe if necessary. I currently work part-time and am in school for my bachelor’s degree. I’m taking a few summer courses but they are online so they don’t require too much of my time. My work schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have some time to work things out. I’ve done feeding and walks, whether it be for the restroom or just to get some exercise in. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard so my dogs are able to freely roam so they don’t like to go on walks much but we do take them out from time to time. I also play outside with them on a daily basis since they enjoy that. I usually bathe and groom my own dogs as well as some other dogs people have asked me to do.
About: I be taken care of a variety of animals from livestock to house pets for over 6 years. Which include basic care.. feeding, grooming, medication, or medical care in some cases I do currently have a part time job, if you get to me 1-2 weeks ahead of time I can work my schedule around for when you’ll need me. I can do last mute booking depending on the circumstances I can give your animal(s) any care needed from medical care depending on what the care is to basic care including feeding, training, walking etc.

About: I have always had cats in my life since I can remember. Now I have 3 of my own. 2 inside and one outside. I know how to feed, clean and care for all pets needs. We also now have a dog in our family and he is spoiled rotten. He likes to go on walks, play fetch All of our animals are cared for in the mornings when we wake up. Everyone gets fresh water and food. My long haired cat gets combed daily, medicine in his eyes and eyes cleaned out. By that time it is time to feed everyone I have a fenced yard for my dog and my two cats stay in the house. My outside cat comes in and out all day, eating and playing with the other kitties.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I have always had multiple of my own and love being outside. I have a dog of my own that I walk everyday, I love being outside, all dog breeds and helping people in times of need. I am free, but my hours can vary if needed Monday 7 am to 7 pm Tuesday 7 am to 7 pm Wednesday 7 am to 7 pm Thursday 7 am to 7 pm Friday 7 am to 7 pm I live in an apartment but I can communicate with clients what is needed, walking preferences, time, I can drive your pup around if they like to ride around, etc.
About: I've had pets my whole life. And when I'm not taking care of my own or my parent's dogs, I care for my neighbors and sisters dogs. I also love cats and can take on the responsibilities of those as well. I have also cared for mice, rats, and bunnies so if you have a house full, I'm not afraid of the challenge. I am able to take on walks, give baths, feed, and give allergy medicine as needed. I will also give plenty of play time to your furry family members. I am a uber driver who makes her own schedule, so I can easily work around yours. I do like to drive some during the day, but I can work anywhere within my 100 mile radius so I'll remain close to your home to provide your animal with potty breaks. Dogs and cats both thrive better in their own home with their normal routine. It is a more comfortable experience for your pet and if your pet prefers a sleeping buddy, I can stay overnight. A guest bed or even a sofa is fine for me. I bring my own food, so no need to provide me anything if I'm staying in your home.

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 Troy. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Troy.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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.
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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Troy. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
