“Megan does twice a week drop in visits/walks with my 11yo pitbull who adores her. Megan is super communicative, accommodating with scheduling and always sends the cutest pictures of Stella. We’re super lucky to have found Megan!”

About: My family and I love animals. I grew up on a farm. With that being said, I know the value of caring for animals and have a good work ethic. Along with my family we have helped raise 3 guiding eyes for the blind dogs. We have raised 3 dogs of our very own, along with rabbits, Guinea pigs, chickens and a few other pets. I will care for your pets as our own. I will play with them. I will take them on walks. I will follow your instructions. I will crate your animal as needed. I can care for a puppy, a small dog, a big dog, an energetic dog. and elder dog or somewhere in between. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I do work M-F. but my family and I work together to care for your pet. We will make sure they go out often, and are played with every day. I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk dogs on a leash, we have plenty of land to do this. We take the dogs out often, and play with them as well. *** If I am watching a pet in your home, I require you to tell me if you have cameras in or outside your home.

About: I've been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for several years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I've provided overnight pet sitting and am comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I always treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work part time teaching swim lessons, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always respect their routines and follow any instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, while keeping a close eye on their safety and well-being. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

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.

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

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Welcome after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

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 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.


When you book dog walking services on Rover, you'll be able to connect with a dog walker who's a good fit for you, your dog, and your lifestyle.

Every walk booked through Rover also includes premium pet insurance, 24/7 support, and a reservation guarantee.
