About: I grew up surrounded by pets! My family fostered (and adopted) many different dogs and cats for many years! I am a student here in Rochester, so I unfortunately had to leave my pets at home with my mom. That being said, I am looking for any pet-sitting, or dog-walking gigs to spend some time with pets and also help pay for my education! In the past I have helped out watching my neighbors dogs, and also taken care of cats. In addition to this, I take my own dog, as well as my friends dogs on walks whenever I can! I am currently a student working towards my masters degree! Due to this, my schedule is relatively flexible, and allows me to spend a large portion of my days lounging around various places studying. On days I have class, I frequently have breaks throughout the day that would allow me time to walk a pup or check in on any other pets! I am comfortable walking into a house with a dog either in its crate or just roaming the house! I have no issues cleaning up any waste on walks and am happy to make sure pets are comfortable and fed before I leave!
About: I have dog sat for a few families in the past, I lived on a farm for 18 years. I raised and worked with anything from small to large animals. I am a full time student and I have a flexible schedule to attend to and play with your pets! I have a reliable form of transportation for outdoor exercise or adventures! I lived on a farm for 18 years and raised and worked with cattle, pigs, rabbits, dogs, and cats since I could walk. I truly care about animals well beings and making sure our friends have the best lives we can give them.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I certainly take the time to make them feel safe and loved. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work full time at parlor doughnuts but am off relatively early during the day! Plenty of time to spend with your beloved pets! I provide a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine!
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of as well as a 14 year old cat that has a lot of special needs and accommodations. I also watch my neighbors pets when they go on vacations. I'm a full time college student during the school year, during the summer I have a very flexible schedule and can watch your pets any day given at least a days notice. I always walk outside when the dogs are outside, even if they are on a leash or in a gated area. I also take them on frequent walks.
“Ashley took care of our two dogs while we were away for two days and she did an exceptional job. Great communication, she was very reliable, friendly and attentive to our pups. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend her!”
“Our dog is super anxious and apprehensive around new people, but he warmed up really quick to Jessica! She was really patient with him and it's obvious she has a ton of experience with animals. I fully trust her to take great care of him while we're gone on an upcoming vacation!”

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 Viola. 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.
