“Always super reliable, very caring, and extremely trustworthy! I definitely feel very comfortable Margaux is always incredibly reliable, very caring, and extremely trustworthy. I feel very comfortable rebooking her, and my dogs absolutely adore her!”

“Brianna was AMAZING!!! Just moving to the area, we had to find a new rover very quickly and were so beyond lucky to have found Brianna. Our dog was so comfortable with her and she goes above and beyond to treat our dog like her own. She was so communicative throughout the entire visit and so respectful of our home. Would recommend her to absolutely everyone!!”

About: I am incredibly patient with young and elderly animals. I have experience with both large and small breeds. I can be available on short notice, which makes me perfect for unplanned events. My pet care will be my main priority, so fitting it in to my schedule is no issue. I can be available whenever I am needed for long or short stays! I will care for others pets with the same love and respect that I give to my own animals. While in a clients home, I will respect the house, as well as the pets place in the home.
About: I currently work in veterinary medicine and am enrolled in vet tech school, so caring for animals is something I’m passionate about both professionally and personally. I have experience handling pets of different sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and loved while you’re away. I work at an Animal hospital in Oxford currently, so I have lots of free time to take care of furry friends! I also spend most of my time at home! Although I do stay in a tiny home, I have access to the dog park right up the road! I am more than willing to carry your pup to the dog park multiple times a day if needed, it’s almost a 5 min drive! If sitting at your place, I’m still happy to take them to the dog park! I can also send updates on how you’re pets doing throughout the day with pictures!

About: As a fellow dog owner and lover I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so my goal is to make them feel as loved and comfortable as they do with you. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routines, and favorite things whether that’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or some extra cuddles! I’m comfortable caring for really any type of dogs. I grew up learning how to take care of not only dogs but horses as well. My time tending to a variety of quiet, crazy, young or old 1000 pound animals has taught me how to handle basically any different behavior that your pup may have. playful puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or a slower pace. My goal is to make every family feel completely confident that their furry friend is being cared for with kindness, patience, and most importantly and ENORMOUS amount of love! Im available any time during the weekdays with my only conflicting times being 9:30-11 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 12-2 on monday,wednesday and fridays!! I am also available all day on sundays! I am available for daily walks, feeds, or over night stays at your home with your pet! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking so I can provide care that’s familiar and stress free for you and your pet! I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any household rules your pet is used to. With me you can assure that your pet will always be tended to and never alone!
About: I have been loving and caring for animals since I could walk. They have always had a special spot in my heart and life. I have always considered my animals my best friends. I would do anything for them. My favorite thing is to give my furry friends all the attention they deserve. I truly believe animals save us in a way no person can. This is why I love taking care and getting to know many different fur babies. I will give my all into making sure your best friend is comfortable and cared for, because animals deserve the best that this world has to offer. Pet care fits into my daily routine when I spend the first hour of my day making sure my animals are taken care of before all. I care for pets in my home by feeding them twice a day(or the schedule you have set). I have a big, spacious, fenced in, backyard with an insulated doghouse, shaded turf and many toys for their enjoyment. I have a lot of time to spend with them as well; seeing as I am home most of the time. I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. They all get spoiled every day and live a very happy and fulfilling life.

About: I’m a freshman in college and a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own. I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving lots of love and attention. As a freshman in college, my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m free after 12 most days and also have availability in the mornings between my classes for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins. I love being able to break up my day with some puppy time! I’m also available most afternoons and weekends, so I can easily work around your dog’s routine! I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, crate training, or specific house rules. I’ll also send regular updates and pictures so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away!! I have two dogs of my own and have watched many dogs back home so im very reliable!

About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved animals. When I came to college, I adopted a cat and later rescued another kitten I found in a car, so now I have two kitties of my own! I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand how important pets are to their families. I’m currently very flexible and have plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and patience.

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. What sets me apart is that I truly care about making pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, not just watched. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply giving them a calm environment where they feel secure. I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners feel comfortable with updates and pictures while they’re away. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease and confident in the care they’re receiving. I am currently in Oxford for college, I am available at almost any time! I do not typically work after 10 PM but can work something out if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I also understand that being in their own home helps many pets feel more relaxed and secure. I’m respectful of each client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully, including walks, medications, crate routines, bedtime routines, or any special needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I am currently a college student away from home who constantly misses his dog. I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I have always loved taking them on walks and playing with them. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my week. I’m available most days and can usually work around your pet’s routine. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I provide care by following routines, ensuring safety, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I prioritize the pet's well-being, offer regular attention, and communicate updates to the owner.
About: Hi, my name is Lindsey, and I can't wait to meet your pet! I've been around animals my entire life, from cats to dogs, and have provided excellent care to captive animals such as wolves, bobcats, and more. I have about two years of professional dog grooming experience. I have degrees in environmental science, and am currently a postdoc researcher at the University of Mississippi. I took a break from doing Rover during graduate school, so my profile has been largely inactive since ~2019, but now that I have a normal schedule again, I'm back at it! My work schedule is generally flexible, so I can work around it to fit the best possible care for your pet. There is a dog park at my apartment I love to use, and the rail trail here in Oxford backs right up to my complex making longer walks convenient. I know I want the absolute best care for my own dog, so I promise the best care for your pets as long as they are with me! My work schedule is generally 8:30 - 4:30, with at least one remote workday per week. Usually, I have one day per week that I do field work, which makes for a longer workday, but I always know in advance so I can plan accordingly. On a typical day, I walk my own dog from 7:00-7:30am, come home for a walk at lunch around 12:00pm, and do a longer walk around 5:00pm with a short bedtime potty break around 9:00pm (sometimes earlier or later depending on how late we're up!) As Aldo has gotten older, he generally prefers shorter walks/hikes, but I am always flexible to make the length and difficulty of walks match your pets' needs. Aldo is crate-trained, and I still have a spare large crate to use if needed. Safety is my biggest concern, especially because he will get into any crumbs or trash can if given the opportunity. I have a security cam set up in my home that I check remotely to make sure pets are doing well throughout the day. I do not have multiple pets out in the living areas together when unsupervised, unless they're very familiar with one another.
About: I grew up constantly around cats and dogs. I remember getting in trouble as a kid because i would sit with my dog, Thor, inside the dog house my dad built for him. My moms best friend runs a shelter now but when I was little she was just known for having a lot of dogs and cats and i LOVED going to her house because I always wanted to hangout with her animals and she'd show me how she took care of specific animals that needed special care and I loved it. I also had a cat named Kitty and i would sit on the front porch and sing made up songs to him while he slept on my lap haha. Later on in life i got another cat named Blue and he was my baby. He slept on my chest every night. We woke up at the same time and went to sleep at the same time, sadly life happened and i had to rehome him but hes at a very sweet family's house and i still get to see pictures of him every once in a while. Currently I have a sweet american staffie mix, his name is Macho Man Randy Savage (Randy for short) a sweet mom and daughter were rehoming him on Facebook and I just so happened to find him and he is my best friend. He is seriously just a ball of love. He loves everyone he meets whether it's another dog or a human and while it's me and my fiance living together Im the main person that takes care of him and makes sure he potties and eats. So I have a lot of experience with pets. I just love animals. If I could have a bed full of cats and dogs that would be a dream but I'm only allowed one so I'd love to spend time with your sweet babies! I'm currently working part time at an office. Just wanna make sure I can pay my bills and what a great way to do that! I sadly do not have a fenced in yard so I take Randy on walks through the neighborhood next to ours cause he still gets all the sniffs and excitement and I don't have to worry about him running into the street and when the weather is nice he LOVES to go to the dog park and hes not very good at playing fetch but he loves playing "throw the ball over and over but I wont bring it back" haha and at least at the park I know hes safe in an enclosed space.
About: My family has always had dogs. I have pet sat for many families in my neighborhood. I am not scared of big dogs and love active dogs! I have lots of free time due to my class schedule and would love to help with any pets! I am free early every morning to do morning walks asweell I am very patient with animals. I understand that most animals take a second to warm up to people so I respect that and don't force any interactions
About: My husband and I are furtunate enough to work from home. Along with our adult daughter, we take pleasure in caring for, and showering love on, our furry guests. I began my career as a professional dog trainer/behaviorist in Southern California in 1996. It wasn't until after our move to Las Vegas in 2002 that my business was truly established. However, in 2011, we unexpectedly uprooted and moved to Houston, TX, and found myself heading into a new venture in the dog industry. During our 9 years in Texas, I become involved with other canine endeavors, including competing in AKC Conformation with our Akitas and Whippets and occasionally assisting in breed-specific and all-breed rescue organizations. After moving to northwest Mississippi in August 2020, we decided to continue offering our boarding and pet care services because of how much we enjoy it. In addition to playing with dogs, I have a part-time position in my home, which enables me to give each of our canine guests plenty of attention. My husband works full-time from home and is always available as a backup in case I have to run off to an appointment. Also living in our home are our two young adult daughters, Beth & Rachel. We are all dog lovers who also happen to be "dog-wise". Our own dogs are friendly and well-behaved and enjoy having fur-friends come to visit. Admittedly, we do have a good amount of dogs, but we have established a great routine and, if our fur-guest isn't too sure at first, we have plenty of options in keeping dogs separated until our fur-guest feels comfortable and happy. We have a considerable amount of experience at pairing dogs in appropriate play groups according to size, temperament and activity level. Our home is situated on nearly 2 acres with about a half-acre securely fenced for dogs to play in. Our active guests will have tons of fun outside playing with each other and chasing squirrels, in addition to spending a large portion of the day and all night relaxing inside our home. Our more sedentary guests have plenty of laps, couch space, and dog beds to laze around on. While crates are a useful tool for keeping dogs comfortable and safe, especially during the brief periods nobody is home, rest assured your sweet babies will not be locked in a crate for long periods. We also have extensive experience with many types of animals, such as chickens, goats, donkeys and horses and offer drop-in visits, where we come to your home to feed, exercise, and interact with your pet(s) and/or farm animals. Our fee is "per visit" and is the same regardless of the number of pets/animals. Additionally, I offer house sitting on a case-by-case basis where I spend nights at your home. Again, our "per night" fee is the same regardless of the number and type of pets/animals in your home or on your property. However, a premium may be assessed if the care of livestock is fairly substantial. Currently, we are only serving the areas of Holly Springs, Byhalia, and Red Banks for drop-in visits but are available to drive longer distances for house sitting. Feel free to request more information. We have a securely fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company during the periods I am working in my home office. Our weekends are typically not very busy, but there are 4 of us available to love and care for your pet. We begin each day with a quick stretch of the legs and a potty break followed by breakfast then playtime outside. Dogs are divided into small groups according to size and play style then rotated between fun time in our fenced yard and relaxing in our home on dog beds and couches. Evenings are often spent playing family games or watching a movie. For bedtime, dogs can sleep in our rooms, on the couch, or in their crate, depending on where they're most comfortable.

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 University. 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.

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 .
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.
