“Jaclyn was amazing, I could tell she really cared for my pets felt very safe leaving them in her hands. She was always very on time and sent me so many pictures 💗 We also had a large storm which caused some property damage and she kept me informed so we could start to handle from a distance. Would really recommend Jaclyn, I hope she is available for my times away in the future 💗”
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors dogs for about 3 years now! I’ve always loved animals and it inspired me to want to become a veterinarian. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient. I will make sure every pet is safe, well cared for, and loved! I currently work part time and attend school on Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop in visits that include weekends, early morning, and evenings. I am very dependable and can communicate when I’m available clearly. I will follow each owners instructions to maintain consistency with your pets schedule. I will also provide regular updates with pictures and videos if needed!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have my own dog who is 9 years old. I’ve also cared for my friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving medications, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. 🐶💕 My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet! I have a dog and cats of my own, so I’m used to having pets around the house. I don’t have a yard or a crate, but I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets who are comfortable being around other animals.
“Mercedes is excellent!!! Super responsable and punctual. She maintains constant communication and gave us reports on each walk. We stay happy and confident leaving our furry son with her!!!!”
“Miranda was wonderful! Today was the first time she walked our three dogs. She was so professional, responsive and sweet. Her summary was so detailed about her walk and feeding session. She even sent us a bunch of pictures on Rover app of our dogs during their walk. Highly recommend her services and will schedule her again for next time we need her help!”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also very comfortable with dogs who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of other dogs or people. My own dog is reactive, so I’m used to being patient, paying attention to body language, avoiding situations that may overwhelm a dog, and giving them the space they need. Because of this, I understand that every dog is different and that some pups need a little extra patience and care. I’ve mainly done dog walking and sitting in clients’ homes since I’m unable to board dogs at my own house due to my dog’s reactivity. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE dogs and would be so excited to spend time with yours! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student at FIU, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule. I have two classes on Monday and Wednesday, one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and no classes on Fridays or throughout the weekend. Because of this, I’m at my apartment often and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I also have my car here, so I am able to easily commute to different locations. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks, so taking a dog on longer walks is something I would genuinely enjoy. I live right near campus, and there is a grassy area directly below my apartment where people regularly take their dogs out, which makes quick potty breaks really convenient. I also have one roommate who loves dogs, so your pup would definitely be welcomed and cared for while they’re with me! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and attention that I would give my own. I have a genuine passion for animals and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, especially because I have experience with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. If I ever have any concerns about a pet, I will communicate them to the owner right away. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive environment and make sure the dog is happy and well cared for.
“Arianna is very sweet and caring with Ginger. She was patient to allow Ginger to warm up to her, and we greatly appreciate her cleaning up our home if there was an accident left behind. We do recommend her absolutely.”
“Cristina was lovely with my fur child. He loved her and waited anxiously for his daily walks with Cristina. Highly recommend, don’t think twice about booking a service with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to details, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I would give my own. I’m currently a full-time college student and am home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, follow all care instructions carefully, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind, and I’ll always treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect as I would my own
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring college student who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I have pets of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter boxes, basic routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own.

I also know every pet has their own personality, so I make sure to follow your instructions and keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away!

I’m also happy to work with pet parents on a routine that fits their pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines.

About: I have had pets in my home my whole life until my dog recently passed away. I was reluctant of letting in another because I didn’t want to go through the grief all over again. Recently, I have had a feeling to help out as many animals as I can. Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened!!! I want to give these babies love and support no matter the cost. I do this by volunteering at the shelter, and hopefully being able to take care of your pets through Rover!!! I am available whenever needed! I am a full time student with a flexible schedule. I will work around the times that fit your needs. I take dogs out for walks, babysit, and take them on day trips to stimulate themselves. I know bigger dogs especially get stressed out so I like to get them moving. I have toys available and a big land for them to play.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and years of experience of taking care of them. I’ve grown up around animals all my life! I will make sure your pets receive the best care! I currently work from home and have flexible hours, would love to take a break from my desk to walk your pet or any other needs With no pets of my own, I can dedicate my undivided attention to your pet. Trust me to provide a pet-friendly environment and the care your furry friends deserve.
“Autumn is so wonderful!! She is friendly, professional, on time, reliable and took great care of my dog who warmed up to her so quickly. She also wiped him after each walk without me asking! Would 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid and always tried to learn the most I could about their cute faces. I used to volunteer with animal rescue groups in high school and am very comfortable around pets. To me, working with Rover is a great way to have animals in my life again as a college student. I'm currently a student at FIU as an Accounting major but I have plenty of free time to care for your sweet little fur baby. I might not look it but I am strong enough to carry a 100lbs dog if needed. I know how it feels when your dog gets loose so I will keep a watchful eye on your pup to avoid any heartache.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 4 years, including pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I have hands-on experience with small dogs and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my routine. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and can easily make pet care a priority throughout my week. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet is treated like my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m also happy to provide regular pictures, videos, and updates so owners can have peace of mind while their pet is in my care.
About: Hi! I hope you are having a wonderful day and are excited for your planned trip. We know that leaving your beloved pets can be hard and worrisome—but we're here to make that easier! While you're away, your pet will never have to be alone for super long durations and will be provided with the best care. If you'd like to hear more about us, read below! Samantha has taken care of so many dogs since she was ten and worked at a hospital for three years. She spends most of her days studying while also dog sitting/walking to help pay for her second college degree (and also just because she loves it)! She's the person you’ll see tearing up at shelter videos, and the person that’s jumping up and down inside at being able to pet a dog in the grocery store. In her free time, she likes to spend her time in the fitness realm. She loves to run and has competed in multiple races (which makes her an even better dog sitter haha). Chandler has had dogs since he was a child and has always been there helping Samantha with sittings and dog walks. He loves it just as much as she does! While he does work a full time job in-person, he is always there for nights/weekends to help out and keep the dog(s) company! We truly emphasize full-time care so you don't have to worry about your precious pets :) We are available anytime! I do pick up dog walking requests a few times throughout the day if I am requested, but these are never usually longer than a few hours in duration and most of my day is free to focus on the needs of pets. Any errands scheduled are also very short in duration if during the sitting. Chandler does work a full time job in-person but helps out at night and on weekends for visits and to help provide care. We will stick to any feeding/activity schedule your dog is used to. While we're there, we will also stick to any feeding/activity schedule your dog is used to (and maybe we can add some extra playtime haha).
About: I'm an animal lover who has had two dogs and three cats as pets over the past 25 years. Currently, we (me, my wife and our 14-year-old son) have one indoor/outdoor cat. Since I work from home full time and set my own schedule, I am in a position to care for, watch and entertain your animal in my home while you are away. I take my lead from you, the pet owner, and will tailor my care for your animal in whatever way that will make you feel the most comfortable. I will only book one dog per day for boarding or doggy daycare so that I can focus solely on your pet and make sure that they are happy, healthy, comfortable, exercised and well taken care of. I'd be happy to take a second dog from the same home, however, so that animals in the same family can stay together.

Thank you for walking Max and Bucky Joseph! Joseph was great, handled two dogs very well and took direction with caution and care which we really appreciated! He also speaks Spanish which is a plus when communicating with my mom who sometimes takes care of our boys. I would recommend him! He was never late and always sent pictures and report promptly.
This is the second time we go on a week long vacation and book Priscilla to walk our boys Max and Bucky. She is super responsible, timely and attentive to my babies needs. I mistakenly didn’t click on one day of the week and when I asked her if she could please still make it, she was there within the hour. I have peace of mind knowing my boys will be walked properly with her. It’s not easy walking two larger male dogs but she does it well and is attentive to their needs, safety and comfort while on the walk. We will keep having Priscilla take care of our babies for sure! 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 University Park. 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 University Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
