About: I've had pets my entire life. My pets were a Tabby named Mischief (always got in trouble), her son Harddrive (born next to a desktop), and a black cat named Lucky. I have house sat overnight multiple times, including pets that had to have medicine and special diets. My friends always ask me to watch their pets, which I happily do. I have dealt with a 4 cat household, as well a two dog two cat household. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, a highlight of which was walking a young, lovely, and hyper German Shepard named Iris for several weeks while her family vacationed. I used to work at a pet store that specialized in healthy food, where I learned useful information in regards of proper care and diets.
“Ryan was great with the pups and flexible with our last minute booking. He was also patient with me as I was super nervous with a new dog walker. He also handled all three of them well. I’d definitely recommend his services.”

About: Have taken care of and LOVED any household pet you can think of. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards etc. Right now I am a mother of two very adorable bunnies, and two very active cats. I have a lot of love to give, and would be delighted to share it with your fur baby. I'm big on communication, so I am happy to send you daily update pictures of your pet while you are away. I have experience working with animals who have medication and/or mobility needs. One of my favorite things when pet-sitting is taking cat-naps or hanging out with your furbaby if they're just feeling lonely and need some additional attention. Happy to love on your pet and make them feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I am typically free after 3pm monday thursday friday. Then after 4pm on tuesday and thursday. My weekends are fairly flexible. Just send me a message and we can chat schedules! Safety of your pet will be top priority. I understand that every pet is different and will follow owners guidance on what works best for them and their pet. If you have a pet that needs to be crated during the day, I will follow the care as directed. Furthermore, if you have a pet that is free roam during the day I will ensure that the environment is safe for them to roam without harm or injury.
About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Whitney always does a great job with our Senior pup. He can’t always walk the full time if it is hot out but she still hangs around for snuggles! I know he is in good hands!”
About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
About: I have owned pets all my life, have worked in a pet rescue and have fostered around 100+ dogs ranging in age, size, breed and gender. I love spending time with animals and giving them a loving environment. My background in the pet industry has taught me how to properly care for different breeds, different temperaments and training of young pets. I have had experience for dogs with many health issues including tripods, dogs with one eye, dogs with broken bones needed daily physical therapy performed by me as well as different issues with puppies. I am able to take on any breed, and am not intimidated by any type of temperament. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding my knowledge or experience.
About: I work from home so my schedule is flexible around you! I only take one dog at a time (unless you have two that are familiar with each other) so that they get my full attention.

I work from home so I can work around your schedule! I’m available Monday, Thursday, Friday and weekends! I’m available anytime of the day that works best for you.

About: I grew up with pets and have experience with dogs and cats of various ages and sizes! I am comfortable training puppies and administering medication. I adore animals and understand that each pet has a different personality with different needs, I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have a girl dog (5 years old) and a boy cat (2 years old) that are my whole world. I am used to taking my dog out for walks multiple times a day, feeding them both, changing litter, and giving them lots of love! Every pet is different so I will always stop by for an introductory visit before we book to ensure that I am the right fit for your fur babies! During that visit I will also make sure that I understand your pet’s routines and needs so that they can get the care they need!
About: I have over 6 years experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, whether that means extra walks, extra cuddle time, or a calm and patient approach with shy pets. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m also reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I'm currently staying at home, so I have very flexible dates and times for walks, also for overnight care of either short or long term. If the pet care is in my house, I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run around and sunbathe, and also a all weather sunroom, so even on rainy days everyone can get a little peak of the backyard and do some birdwatching! No kids or pets, two adults. If the care is in your home, I'm comfortable with indoors or outdoors playing and also walks. Just show me around, give me instructions and I will be happy to follow them!
“Maggie does a fantastic job! She is incredibly attentive to my pitbull mix, Allie, always ensuring she stays cool on warm walks, practicing her training commands, and even pivoting to playtime if Allie isn't in the mood for a walk. Maggie is professional, punctual, hardworking, and remarkably easy to communicate with. I absolutely love receiving the photo updates after each walk. I highly recommend her services!”
“Stephanie walked our 2 year old lhasapoo, Som. She is a very responsible punctual individual. We loved working with her. Everyday she sent us photos along with a note describing how Som did during the walk. She looked after Som as Som is her own pet. In rainy days, after the walk was over, she would dry Som with a towel. We will definitely book her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Carly made me and my pup comfortable with her right away! Thank you so much for a great experience and we look forward to seeing you again soon!”

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

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 .
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.
