About: Since I was a kid I’ve always had so much love for animals . When taking care of your fur baby , i will always treat them like they’re my own .I have experience providing reliable and attentive dog walking and drop-in care, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. During drop-ins, I make sure pets receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away, while also keeping their space clean and following any specific instructions provided. Let me know exactly what your baby needs for the most fun and stress free experience! My schedule is fairly flexible because I work a part-time graveyard shift, which allows me to have plenty of availability during the daytime for pet care. I’m also a single mom to one wonderful boy, so I’m very intentional about planning my time and making sure I’m dependable and responsible with every commitment I make. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during my open daytime hours, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works for everyone. I take being trusted with someone’s pet seriously and will always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and consistent. I’m happy to care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I live in an apartment, I’m best suited to hosting smaller pets in my home who are comfortable in an apartment setting. I’ll make sure they have a safe, clean, comfortable space, plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love. For in-home visits, I’m comfortable caring for pets in the environment they’re already familiar with. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, litter box care, basic grooming, and companionship. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years, with the last 5 years being much more regular, including several years on Rover. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and senior dogs, and I have experience giving medication. For drop-ins, I can handle potty breaks, feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on what your pet needs. For house sitting, I work remotely from your home during the day and stay overnight. I’ll plan my schedule around important feeding, walking, and medication times. I may leave during the day or evening for errands or plans, typically for no more than about four hours at a time. Sometimes they are guest stars in some zoom calls :) I’m big on communication. I’ll send photos, videos, and updates as often as you’d like. I know it’s much easier to relax while you’re away when you know your pet is happy and doing well.

“Brandy was absolutely amazing with Joker! From the moment we connected, she was warm, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. She kept us updated with photos + messages throughout his stay, and it was so reassuring to see how happy, comfortable, and well cared for he was. It was clear that Brandy genuinely treated Joker like one of her own, and that meant so much to us. When returning back, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time - not skipping a beat! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Brandy, for taking such great care of our boy! We absolutely booked again as soon as needed and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since high school as a way to help get rid of my fear of dogs. Starting out, I took care of pets from family, friends, and neighbors. Since then I have become closer to the pets I care for, making sure that they feel loved while the owners are away During the summer, I will be available during weekdays anywhere from 9am-6pm and Saturdays from 9am-1pm. In the fall, these times will change once I start classes again I offer clients pets with the space they need to feel loved and protected by feeding them on time and ensuring that they are kept active through play/walks.

I’m also very weary of who I trust with my little guy so ask any and all questions you need to to feel at ease 😊 Im in the military as an instructor so my schedule changes from class to class but I generally know two weeks in advance if I’ll be available. I’m available for drop in visits and walks. I have a big yard and a little bull terrier named scrappy who is very friendly but you don’t have to worry about anything happening to your dog because I am doing in home drop ins and walks. In an emergency I am willing to help someone out though, just let me know what you need.

“We cannot recommend Nicole enough as a dog walker! She went above and beyond for our dog, LT, while we were out of town. Initially, we had scheduled her for one visit a day, but Nicole was incredibly flexible and offered to come twice a day to make sure LT was happy and well cared for. LT absolutely adored her, and it was clear from the start that she has a natural way with animals. Nicole also kept us updated throughout our trip, sending thoughtful messages and fantastic photos of LT enjoying his walks. It gave us so much peace of mind to know he was in such great hands. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and professional, Nicole is the perfect choice!”

Alex is an absolute GODSEND. My 60 lb, recently adopted and easily excitable rescue dog requires an experienced handler. (He's not aggressive, just young, wild, and still learning the rules of interacting with humans.) Until we found her, we've struck out trying to find a good fit for someone to walk him. From the very first meeting, Alex's calm demeanor, skilled handling and complete love for dogs were obvious, and allowed her to view my dog's behaviors through an empathetic lens, which in turn allowed my dog to calm down and trust her pretty quickly. I can't say enough good things about her and I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog with behaviors that are not perfect. She can handle your dog with skill and kindness. I'm so grateful for Alex!

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.
