“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
“Deja is very friendly and cordial with our dog Samone and myself. When Samone see her coming she gets so excited! She takes the time to ask me if I need anything which I really appreciate. She gives Samone her treat when she brings her back from her walk. I would recommend her service to others!”
About: I grew up in Jamaica with 6 dogs that I loved dearly. I've been taking care of them since I was 9 and they're literally family to me. I have a genuine love for my fur babies and that's why I've decided to go to Veterinary School so I can learn more about these lovely fellas. I also volunteer at foster centers just to bring dogs out to explore the world as they deserve while they wait for their new families. I'm a part-time employee and part-time student with a lot of spare time on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will happily use towards giving your pets the best time ever. When walking dogs, I prefer to keep them in an open non-crowded area away from potential threats (animals and humans). I tend to be hyper vigilant as I understand my responsibility and priority of keeping your pets safe. If they're meeting other dogs, I shorten the leash and always watch out for signs of discomfort or aggression. Lastly, I'll ensure your pets are fully hydrated during their walks.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for about five years and have raised my dog, Scooby, since he was a puppy. My husband and I worked closely on his training, socialization, manners, and recall and he has grown into a well-behaved dog who is comfortable around other dogs and can safely enjoy off-leash activities in appropriate settings. Because I have used Rover and dog daycare services for years, I understand what pet parents are really looking for: a sitter who communicates, follows instructions, provides updates, keeps dogs active, and treats every pet with patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic commands, different personalities, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. Scooby is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, and our home includes two attentive adults who genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is safe, comfortable, supervised, and receiving plenty of attention while they are away. I am currently home full-time so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and care throughout the day. I am flexible and happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. I live in a townhome with my husband and our friendly, well-trained dog, Scooby. While we do not have a fenced yard, our community has plenty of grassy areas and walking trails nearby. I can provide walks, playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation based on your dog’s individual needs and energy level.
About: My dog has taught me how to recognize subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or joy — and I bring that same attentiveness to every dog I meet. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m available for daytime walks, last-minute bookings, and consistent weekly routines — whatever your pup needs, I’ve got the time and care to give. With my own friendly dog as a potential companion and a watchful eye on safety, I provide a secure, engaging environment for your pet — always centered on their comfort and well-being.
About: I have worked at a Fear Free and AAHA certified veterinary clinic as an veterinary assistant, am extremely experienced and confident handling rescues and animals with special medical needs, and have experience caring for many different types of pets from cats and dogs to birds, reptiles, farm animals, and more. I currently work from home full-time and I do not have pets, so I have a flexible schedule to help care for your pets needs! I worked in veterinary medicine for 5 years, and I am experienced in working with many different kinds of pets and personalities, and providing advanced care for your pet. I am extremely comfortable administering different kinds of medications and working with rescue pets.
“Jessica is great! She was prompt & communicative & kind to Mars, our 14 week old puppy during the visit. She was respectful of our home too. We will definitely be working with her on an ongoing basis! Thanks again Jessica!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs when they go out of town. I’m the first person they call because they trust me and their pets love me! I love dogs and think they are great companions. I have A dog of my own and she works very well with other pets! I generally take 1-2 walk during the day just to remain active. My flexible work from home schedule makes it easier to adjust to your dogs schedule. Please let me know if you have any additional questions for me! I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner in regards to how they will like their dog to be cared for. I am sensitive to dogs maintaining their established schedules. I generally take my dog on a walk around my neighborhood. Will also occasionally take her to the dog park if it is empty
About: Well with 10+ years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs and medications, anxiety, medical conditions, and unique personalities with patience. Veterinary care is a big part of my daily life. I work as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals, monitoring their needs, and keeping them comfortable is already part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care in my home or yours, following routines and medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions while keeping pets comfortable.
“Bria has been wonderful and responsive. My dogs loved her the first time they met and she sends great pictures in my Rover card. One of my dogs is having a hard time adjusting to our new home, and Bria is very gentle with her and does not push her boundaries.”
“Diana did an amazing job with our puppy Newton. She was patient through his nipping phase and always communicated with details and pictures of their walks. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have been working in boarding and daycare facilities for many years, as well as having my own foster organization ran out of my home, and I also have two dogs of my own! I work as a babysitter/nanny part-time, but my schedule is very flexible and I am able to change hours and days very frequently or as needed I will treat your home as I would want someone to treat mine, as well as the animals. I will take as best care as I can, and keep everything clean and tidy, as well as following any rules. Instructed.
“Alexis did an amazing job with our big girl. She is prompt and provides good communication while engaging with our pet. We will definitely book with her again when we return. Thank you Alexis!”
About: Hi! My name is Rebeca. I have always been around animals all my life and I have loved every bit of it. I have a passion for caring for animals as well as developing an understanding of each and every one of them. I’ve experienced caring for animals ever since I was a child with my own pets, as well as with sitting my families and friends pets and volunteering. It’s always a great time caring for animals and establishing a connection with them. I am so grateful for this opportunity to meet and take care of new animals and I hope you give me the chance to share only the best care with your pets! :)

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
