“Angelika was fantastic with my French bulldog, Jojo! She was completely reliable and always showed up on time and super flexible. She has great daily communication. Every single day, she sent me updates and cute photos so I knew Jojo was happy, safe, and having a great time. If you need someone who truly cares and does a wonderful job, I cannot recommend Angelika enough. Jojo is already looking forward to his next walk with her!”

About: I have experience caring for other people’s pets and genuinely enjoy providing them with attentive, loving care. I have cared for my boss’s two dogs and have been the trusted caregiver for my close friend’s dog, Charlie, whenever she travels to India. Charlie and I spend several weeks together during her trips, and I have been caring for him consistently for over four years. I understand the importance of maintaining pets’ routines, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention, and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I am currently working full-time. My weekend availability includes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and I am happy to care for pets during this time. As the owner of two pets, I have a deep affection for animals and am eager to devote some of my free time to their care. I am presently unable to care for additional pets at my residence. I currently live in an apartment with 2 pets. I am open to traveling to you for improved care options.

About: Hi! I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, so my goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I have had dogs of my own, as well as cared for other dogs, of all ages and sizes! Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection from my whole family. I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and making sure every dog gets the care and comfort they need. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, they will be treated like part of the family. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work from home full-time. I am available for boarding and sitting during the day all throughout the week. Your pet will always have a companion! In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced yard where they can safely roam, play, and get exercise with supervision. Inside, they are treated like part of the family with plenty of attention, affection, fresh water, feeding on schedule, potty breaks, and a clean environment. I can also crate pets if needed or if that is part of their regular routine at home.

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’ve had pets my entire life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I cherish every unique personality and stage of life. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I know how to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable—even when their favorite humans are away. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they need. Whether it’s slow strolls, administering medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’m here to provide the same level of love and attention I’d give my own pets. Your furry family members are in great hands with me, and I can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life because I truly love spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walking, playtime, or just keeping them company, I prioritize creating a safe and happy environment for them while you’re away. I have a fenced yard with one pet currently. We live across from a park and walking trails, offering plenty of room for your pets to walk and get exercise! Our home is pet-friendly and welcoming, with an extra room for crates or quiet time, though we often lounge with our animals throughout the house. I’m not alone in providing care—my partner and my 10-year-old child also love helping out with our furry guests. Together, we create a warm, safe, and loving environment where your pets will feel right at home.

About: I treat all dogs like my own...and my own are my children ? I will always ensure they get lots of love and attention (& treats ) , that they always have fresh water, and I will wipe their paws whenever needed. I will make sure your home is safe and secure when picking up and dropping off. I will walk dogs outdoors in all weather conditions, (anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes at a time) and understand special requests and conditions for each dog. Will ensure each dog is getting exercise and potty breaks and keep the safety of the dogs and those (humans and dogs) around them, and maintain leadership of the pack of dogs (if/when walking multiple dogs at a time). I will take plenty of pictures/videos of your fur baby if you would like, so you can see how they are doing. And last but not least I will always remove pet waste. Let me know if I can help you with anything! I work from home and my partner does too, so your fur baby will always have company unless we step out and are usually gone for no more that 2-3 hours. I have a back yard and a side yard. The backyard is fenced and the side yard isn’t. Whatever works best for your fur baby, works for us. Plenty of room to run around, but walks if part of the routine will be had also. I treat all dogs like my own...and my own are my children ?

About: I would love the opportunity to love your fur baby! Pets are great and I appreciate all the different personalities they have to learn/adapt to! I’m a working college student, but I can stay with your pet at night and care for them in the morning before work and come back to them after work. My pets at home walk on water. Me and my family love our dogs, so I would appreciate any opportunity to love even more babies.

About: I have had numerous animals since I was young, I have animal sat for cats dogs and even snakes, I did check ins, walks and grooming as well! I’m currently in college full time, so my schedule can vary, but I’m good at planning ahead and making time for pet care. I honestly enjoy spending my free time with animals because it’s a great way for me to relax and destress from school. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and safe while I’m with them. I’ll follow their normal routine, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they’re always supervised and cared for.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of caring for dogs. Since I was a kid, I’ve looked after my neighbors’ dogs walking them, keeping them company, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly understand how important pets are; they’re family. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always provide the best, most attentive care possible.❣️🐾🐈🦮 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which allows me to have most afternoons available, as well as weekend mornings. This gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve without rushing. I’m able to be flexible and dependable, making sure each pet’s needs are fully met. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while maintaining their normal daily routine. I also keep owners updated with check ins so they feel at ease while they’re away.

About: My wife and I are huge pet lovers. She's been doing pet foster care since she was young and I've had the privelage of owning a few animals myself. I absolutely love being around animals of all kinds and loving on them as I would my own. We also have experience with medication administration. We're flexible and adaptable and here for your fur babies! If your fur babies like to be around other animals we have a very loving dog who loves all animals and loves to play. I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know your pets! Ally is a stay at home mom, though she does have a job that takes her away periodically she's at home the majority of the time so there is almost always someone available to give the animals the love and attention they deserve. We have a fenced yard with some space to run and stretch or get some fresh air. Sometimes we take multiple dogs at a time but not normally. If separation is required a crate is preferred but we do have extra rooms and baby gates to give the dogs their own space is we need to leave the house or for sleeping hours.

About: As a pet parent who’s often had to travel, I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pet babies behind. I used to feel that little knot in my stomach every time—worrying if they were safe, if they missed me, if they felt lonely. That’s what made me realize how important it is to have someone you can really trust to look after them like family. For me, pets aren’t “just animals”—they’re our babies, our companions, our comfort. I’ve spent over 9 years caring for my own dog and cat, through every stage from energetic puppy and kitten years to the slower, gentler pace of senior life. Along the way, I’ve learned patience, how to give meds without stress, when to offer play and when to just sit quietly together. Every pet is different, and I love figuring out what makes each one happiest. Right now, I’m offering drop-in visits so your pets can stay safe and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playing, belly rubs, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone—I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for until you get back. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give your pets the same care, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. Currently I provide drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’m always available to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and a designated room for cat boarding. Our house has plenty of space for them to explore and play around as well.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. I currently have a 4 year old cockapoo and she is the best dog. I can do walks, drop -ins and also give your animals their medications I work full time night shift as a nurse but I do get put “on call” a lot so I just sit at home. Just ask and I’m sure I can make your visit work with my schedule. I am also available for night time walks as well I take my dog for many walks a day so I know exactly how much time goes into it and also know that sometimes you just need help

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs (big and small) my whole life. All of my animals are trained by myself and my family (very well, if I do say so myself) and I also have experience caring for dogs ranging from 1 month to at least 15 years. I have experience with dogs of every size, behavior style, and training level and have proven apt in handling anything and everything when it comes to mine and other dogs. When caring for your dogs, I will provide them the benefits of a stress free environment, space to run and play, as well as structured and monitored socialization with my own animals (at both you and your dog's comfort, of course). I will provide your dogs with the comfort of their own living space with as little interruption to their daily routine as possible. I also provide constant contact as you so wish and will provide daily updates for you about your animals, as well as answering any questions you have about myself or my experience. I have also attended an animal care/first aid class and have ample knowledge to provide first aid to most animals. Hope you choose me to care for your pets! I am currently unemployed and so all my times is for your babies! I can adhere closely with their set schedules and work as much as necessary to not jar their daily routines. My time is theirs and yours. I have a fenced in back and front yard, with a gate separation between the two for ample security. When sitting in your home, I will ensure that I adhere to their known schedule in order to provide as easy of a week as possible for them. I will also keep you updated throughout their time with me and will be available at any time to call or text so that you can remain aware of your animals I will do my utmost to ensure that you are aware of my weekly schedule (whatever that may look like) before you leave your pets in my care, and should any changes or emergencies come up, you will be my first call (or text) in order to keep you apprised of your pet's care.

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.
