About: I have experience working in animal rescue, fostering, basic training, and complex medical maintenance for both dogs and cats. I have fostered over 100 dogs in ten years and owned two heart dogs and three beloved cats, all who had complicated medical conditions that required daily management. Pets are family to me and deserve the best care and consideration. I am currently on sabbatical and looking to fill my days with happy time with pets though walks, play, and just quality time. I’m available every day 11 am to 6 pm. Two days notice is required for both dog walking or dog check-in requests. I have a fenced in back yard and crates, along with dog safe toys, doggy gates, and non slip mats throughout the house for better traction for older dogs.
“great! super flexible and willing to work around my schedule and help me out. my dog seemed to really enjoy her and she was wonderful to communicate with. will definitely look to book her again and would recommend to others!”

“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”
“Aubriana was absolutely wonderful with our dog! He gets so excited for their walks, and it’s really helped him calm down at night having his midday walk. He’s a new shelter pup that has some stubbornness and separation anxiety, but she’s so calm and patient with him. Highly recommend Aubriana, and will be continuing to book with her!”

I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos are 12, 8 and 2 with my oldest two in school during the day, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term grooming clients as well! With me working from home I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play/hang out with my personal dog, go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.

I’ve been pet sitting professionally for two years, so I am well equipped to provide whatever your fur baby needs! I currently work part time in retail, so my schedule is generally pretty flexible. Whatever it is, we can usually always get something worked out!! I have been caring for my cat, Salem, for the last 7 years in my own home. I currently do not have any dogs of my own, but am fully capable of being a loving figure in your pups life if they need a walking buddy or just a play mate for a little while!

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 Walden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
