About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a young child. I have experience working at a doggy daycare/boarding facility as well as extensive experience working with animal welfare groups. I have 2 children who are in school all day and a husband who works from home. In the evening I am able to care for your pets also. I can currently come to your home to care for your pets. I find that pets tend to fare better with a pet sitter if they stay in their own home, a familiar place for them.
“They were amazing, beyond kind, and very responsive! They sent lots of pictures and kept up on all tasks asked! I would trust them again and again. Will be booking again for our next trip :) Thanks!”

“Abigail is super responsive and did a great job with our puppy. Our dog is working through separation anxiety so it was so nice to get pic updates. She was on time and I cannot speak highly enough about how responsive she was. Would recommend!”
“Ariel was communicative, friendly, and very easy to work with. She took great are of our cat, Ollie, with frequent drop-in visits while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever sense I was little. I’ve always been around dogs and I have always been counted on to take them on walks and care for them with the upmost respect. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adjust to meet your needs. You will never have to be doubtful of the safety of your animal if they are in my hands. I currently work full time but have varied hours where I am available in the mornings some days of the week as well as in the afternoon and weekends. I can work with your schedule to when you need me. I will follow all rules and regulations you may have when it comes to what you allow your pets to do in your home. I can use the same demands as you do with your animal so there is always consistency. I am very trustworthy and will leave your home exactly how you left it. I will always respect your space, you, and your animal.
About: I have been caring for and loving dogs and cats for my whole life but have been doing pet sitting for the past 6 years! No longer having one of my own, I have a very open schedule and love to spend my time keeping your fur babies company! My favorite past times include walking and curling up with a good book and would love the opportunity to include your sweet pets! I do remote work right now so I have a lot of free time to spend with your fur babies! I am available for home stays or drop-ins of any length, and love to fill my time with sweet animals of all types and personalities! I am a very active person and love long walks but also love to curl up and cuddle with your fur babies on the couch with a good book. I can fit in wherever and however your pet will be most comfortable. I am capable of crating animals and also love to cuddle up with them, I am punctual and communicative and want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible!
About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.
About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.
“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Kayla has been amazing to work with! Her drop-in services for our dog have made all the difference for our family. Her communication is great and the pictures she sends are so appreciated. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”
About: 🐾 Lifelong dog lover with 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, dog sat for friends and family for decades, and truly enjoy giving dogs the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to give your dog the love and attention they deserve! I am available to sit Monday-Friday but am also open to weekends depending on the dates! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I strive to provide consistent care, companionship, and attention while respecting your home and household rules. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. During walks and outdoor time, I remain attentive to surroundings and prioritize your pet’s safety at all times. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure. I know how important trust is when inviting someone into your home. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from start to finish.
About: Since I was five years old there’s always been a dog in my house. Currently I have a 7 year old rescue French bulldog named Lady. She came to us with multiple medical concerns and I feel very comfortable providing attention and care to dogs! I have experience dog sitting for multiple friends and I am looking to branch out. I’m currently at home full time and am able to have a flexible schedule to meet pets’ needs! Our dog Lady likes to go to our apartment dog run a few times a day. With the summer heat and her short snout, she can’t go for long walks, but she loves an afternoon nap. During this time I would be able to spend some solo time on a nice walk with another dog if they wanted! We have a fenced in dog run at the apartment and grassy areas nearby to explore. Our dog Lady loves company and playing - Especially with all her toys! We do have a crate for Lady when we leave the house. Dogs are allowed on the couch and on the bed. We have a long hallway that’s perfect for playing fetch too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walker
Morgen took care of our large furpup during a family wedding away from home. Our furpup is large and requires medication every 8 hrs. Morgen was excellent, on time, responsive and such a great person. Felt 100% comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She provided drop in visits and was awesome!
Paula is fantastic!!! I had a pet siter set up for my home but she had to cancel at the last minute. So instead I took my pups with me to my VRBO and hired Paula at last minute notice. We did the meet and greet and my girls Gabby & Gracie immediately loved her. She did a few drop in visits while I was at my conference and eased my anxiety that they were in a strange home without their mom. I would recommend you hire Paula, she will treat your pets like family.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Walker stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Walker choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Walker with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
