“Thank you for always being on top of taking the water bottle with you on the walk so that she is hydrated when the day is hot. And thank you for giving her some bones when you got back. We really trust you and trust her in your care.”
About: I own my own home in a beautiful community in Indio.My backyard is fully enclosed. Your pet will be welcomed and treated as a member of the family. I have owned and cared for dogs all my life...every breed, from small terriers to greyhounds! I work from home, therefore am able to give my full attention and presence to my "guests". Most recently, I spent the months of May and June in Seattle, where I cared for 3 dogs in different households. Each dog had their own unique, wonderful personality and I so enjoyed spending time and caring for them all! I live with Callie, my little mini Labradoodle...no small children, no cats...just us! I'm well versed in giving medication , both orally and via injection. I would love to care for your pet. About this sitter: I am a total dog lover, well-educated, own my own home and am very athletic and fit. Your pet will enjoy not only a comfortable home while you are away, but also have the fun of walks, hikes (if desired!) and tons of affection! If you would prefer to have your dog stay in his/her own environment, I would be happy to discuss a stay at your home. I have great references and you would enjoy the peace of mind of having your pup in their own environment with a well-qualified, reliable "surrogate mom"! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life and have owned dogs..large and small...throughout the years. I now own my little Labradoodle, Callie.
About: I have been watching over pups of all ages from a few weeks old to senior pup ages giving them all the cuddles, exercise, and snacking of fruits and vegetables to keep them on their toes. There's always time to relax and rest when I close up the curtains and change the lights to a nice dog cartoon or video for them to fall asleep to or cool down from the sun. I have been a foster parent for pups with my husband for about 2 years and never looked back, we have fostered over 12 pups of all ages to families all over the valley and continue to do so until we move to Oregon. I make home made food and treats depending on what I have available at the moment and provide them with different varieties of snacks that are healthy for them. I give them my attention and my fur babies get to play and socialize with everyone welcoming everyone and sharing all their toys🥰 I am currently staying home while my husband works and I do insta cart shopping depending on the day. And looking into getting my masters online so I have plenty of time to give them the attention they need. I have crates and gates depending on the pups needs. I have my home set up to section off pups if they need time to relax or go and play with others without bothering anyone else.
About: I absolutely love animals, not just my own. But all, & turned it into my job! Being around animals is a complete joy in my life. I’m a 20 year old with a part time job. I take pride into my jobs because not only is it my job, but I enjoy my jobs & they’re apart of my routine. I have a dog of my own. I got him when he was 2 months old and now he is 5 years old. I make sure he has everything he needs; food, water, extra like toys, sweaters when it’s cold, etc. I wake up with him & go to bed with him. I trained him everything he knows. My boy is my LIFE!
About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!
About: I have had multiple pets since I was about 8 years old. For the past two years I have worked watching and sitting dogs and cats. I currently work and go to school but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am great at time management. I am available weekdays and weekends if needed. I have a fenced in yard, and do not like to leave pets alone for more than 10 minutes. I am very involved and love animals.
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, geckos, hamsters, fish, ducks, and rabbits. Animals have always been a big part of my home, and I treat every pet like family. Currently, I share my home with three cats and a dachshund, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, and lots of love when it comes to pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m currently working from home so I have the flexibility to provide care to any fur babies. I like to wake up early so I can start my day off right and give pets the needed routine for an active and healthy day. Although it’s not very large, I have a fenced yard, which will allow for fur babies to play or simply soak up some fresh air. I also live minutes from the Station 86 dog park as well as have a grass area in my community, which is gated.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats all my life with my own pets and or family members pets as well! On top of that, my Mom also has her own in-home dog care business through Rover, which I do help her with. Most of our smaller pups tend to cling to me, which I adore. Especially if your doggo is a cuddler, your pet and I will have a grand ole time. I currently work part time, with that being said, I will always have time for your littles and bigs, both before and after work! Currently I work Thurs-Sun 9am-5pm, and when any changes arise I always let my pet parents know in advance to make sure both you and your pets stay as happy as possible. When booking with me, it really is always smiles :) I’m able to spend my night and or day with your pets in the safety of your home. Playtime, love and walks would be completely unlimited. I also love to take photos of your pets, to update you throughout your booking, as if you never left!
“Mikayla did exactly what I needed of her. She dropped in and let Ruby out to pee, took her on a walk, played with her while she was on the walk, sent me pictures of her playing and Ruby laying down at home after she took her back. She made sure Ruby went back out to potty and gave her some snacks and water. She did everything I had asked of her and more. She even double checked with me that Ruby didn’t need anything else I might’ve forgot before she left as I am away from home until tomorrow. Great job”

“Ashley was amazing! We really appreciated her last-minute flexibility when our puppy desperately needed a walk after being inside all day while I was working. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was such a huge help. Our pup had a blast with her! Ashley was also very accommodating with our request to take her for an indoor walk since our dog is sensitive to the heat. She was communicative, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing our puppy was in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

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 Valerie. 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.

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.
