“Heather did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was properly fed and taken care of. I also appreciated her thoughtful updates and photos!”
About: Hi I'm Glo and I love furry friends! I grew up with lots of pets in the home and I care for the strays in local communities. Nothing compares to a fluffy feline or a cuddly canine by your side. In my spare time I volunteer with the Humane Rescue Alliance as a foster fur parent. Previously I used to do in- home and overnight pet sitting on a similar app and for close friends. Meeting and making furry friends is not new to me nor does it ever get old. I can make your pet feel right at home while you can have a peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Let's start a furry friendship today! My current schedule allows for open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. With 24/7 supervision I'm available for boarding both overnight and longer stays to make your dog feel right at home. Im in a 5 bedroom home with minimal space being occupied. I have a 6 foot secured privacy fence surrounding a fairly large yard. I reserve separate areas by size and temperament or can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I work part time right on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45-5:45, but I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own. The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!
About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!
“Our meet and greet with Amber went perfectly. They knew just what to do to put our nervous dog at ease And clearly have great judgement and experience. We're looking forward to working with Amber in the future.”
About: I grew up around dogs and am comfortable with handling different sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable. I always show up on time and keep owners updated though out the walk I’m working a summer job on weekdays from 9:30 am to 3pm so I’m available for walks early morning before 9 or evening after 3:30. Weekends I’m open most of the day and happy to schedule around your pups routine I always keep dogs on there leash and stick to the sidewalks I share my location for the duration of the walk so owners can track there pets in real time I pay close attention for signs of heat stress and bring water on long walks
“Lilla was great. Even though Marty is a very recent rescue adoption, he took to her right away and they had a great time together. I will definitely book her again for the future. In fact, I already have a booking for this week.”
“Enih responded to me when I was in a real bind-I needed a walker the same day and the walk was for the 9:30pm time slot. That in and of itself says something special about a person. My dog took to her right away and Enih kept in touch during the walk including sending an adorable picture. I will definitely ask for her again as my dog needs three walks a day.”
“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”
“Kendall was a great cat sitter - communicative, attentive, and easily got along with my cat! I was so thankful he was available during the holidays to watch over her. He was my first experience with Rover, and he made it a great first experience!”
About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life 🐾 I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—their personalities, their quirks, and just making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always try to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just keeping them company and giving lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very attentive to details like feeding routines, medications (if needed), and behavior changes. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I work in a way that allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 💛 I’m currently y working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I have plenty of dog and cat toys to play with, grooming stuff etc. I have a partially fences yard and a medium size dog and 3 cats to keep your babies company. If I come to your house, I make sure I follow your instructions closely
About: Since birth I've always had pets. From dogs,Cats and reptiles but dogs will forever have my heart. I’m a huge sucker for big dogs I’ve had cane corso and husky my whole life. I work from home so I am the definition of flexible. I can regularly fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine as I do with my own pet. I provide a happy , safe, and healthy stay for my/your dog whether that means taking them on a walk, making/feeding them healthy treats !
About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra patience, and gentle care. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they can stay happy and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection while ensuring they're always supervised and secure.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love I have for animals - it's not just a service I provide, it's something I truly care about. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, which is how I got my start and built my experience in dog and cat sitting, walking, and feeding. What I'm most proud of is my patience and my ability to take the time to understand each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, and comfort levels, and I make it a priority to learn those nuances so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe - not one-size-fits-all. I treat every pet like my own, and that's something their owners always feel. I currently work from home during the work week so I will have plenty of time to play with your animal! I need at least a day heads up but can be pretty flexible in providing care throughout the week. When caring for pets my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog - whether that means a leisurely stroll for a senior pup or a more energetic outing for a high-energy breed. I always make sure they're safe, have a chance to explore, and return back home happy. Above all, I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I would give my own because I know how much they mean to their families.
About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.
About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.
About: Hi there! I’m a friendly, bubbly dog lover serving the Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth areas. Whether I’m caring for a tiny puppy, a gentle senior, or a big goofy breed with lots of personality, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Dogs bring so much joy into my life, and I love giving that same joy right back through reliable, attentive care. I am in the military, but my schedule is really flexible and im off every weekends, I go to work at 08am on weekdays so I have time to take the dogs out before work and at 2pm when I get back. I take safety seriously. I monitor all dogs closely, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure every walk, visit, or stay is secure and stress‑free. I’m comfortable with leashes, crates, feeding routines, and managing multiple dogs at once.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walker Mill
Danielle was very pleasant and great with Butter! She did a check-in visit to feed and walk him, Butter was in great hands, she made sure he was fed, exercised, and gave some companionship while we were away. Her communication was prompt, along with updates. I will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again when Butter need another visit!
They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.
Bria was great with our dog. She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and was able to accommodate doing a drop in visit with short notice. Highly recommend her! We will definitely be reaching out again, when we need someone to check in on our dog. Thanks Bria!
Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.
Stephanne is great with my 3 dogs. She can handle taking all 3 of my dogs on walks together, has so much experience with dog behavior, and she’s very attentive to their health and well being. She is incredibly reliable; I have such peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of my dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters 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 sitter.
