“Emily was absolutely wonderful with Juno. She was always incredibly attentive, caring, dependable, and genuinely seemed to care about her well-being. Juno passed away a few weeks ago, and looking back, I’m especially grateful knowing that when I couldn’t be there, she was in the hands of someone who treated her with so much kindness and compassion. It was obvious that Emily didn’t simply see taking care of Juno as a job, she truly cared about her. That meant more to me than I can adequately put into words, particularly as Juno got older and needed a little extra attention and patience. I would recommend Emily without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with a pet they love. I’ll always be grateful for the care, kindness, and affection she showed Juno.”
About: After my experience working at a boarding kennel, my friends, family, and colleagues looked to me for pet care. Ever since I’ve been walking, feeding, and looking after animals of all different sizes for my people. I’ve loved being able to take care and spend time with animals and making sure people feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and loved with me. I’ve distributed insulin, eye drops, and oral medicine, and I can bathe/brush/clip nails as well. Starting the 28th of November, I’ll be off all day Sunday and Saturday. On weekdays I’ll be able to check in before 8am and after 5:30pm. I feed and prepare food based on feeding instructions, clean up after pet made messes. I walk on designated routes for any desired amount of time. I try to give as much snuggles if the pet is comfortable, if not I respect animals boundaries
“Argelia had a great first walk with my dog. I appreciate her patience while we sorted out access to the unit. She provided a thorough update/report following the dog walk with lots of cute photos. You can certainly tell that she takes her job seriously and cares.”
“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”

Rover is our full time job, with both of us able to help in a pinch the flexibility we can provide weekly or daily is something we are proud to provide. I have a fenced in yard, space to crate a dog and also can put gates if needed to keep dog in certain areas. I am also able to administer any medication if needed.
About: I’ve been trusted to housesit for small-medium dogs for 3 years including feeding, bathroom breaks, long walks, and play time. I am training to be a licensed counselor, and I am a calming presence to be around. I love to play with pets and help them feel relaxed! I’m currently in online graduate school, so my schedule is flexible to your needs! I am available to care for your pet in the mornings, an afternoon break, or evening walk and playtime. I care for pets by adhering to directions for care and ensuring their needs are met. I am looking forward to caring for your pet!
“Sarahi was incredible with my dog Eisley. My dog was immediately comfortable with her and was excited for walk time everyday. Would absolutely book her again and the only reason she is not helping any longer is because I am moving.”
About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.
“Steph has been giving my dog weekly walks for a few weeks now during the work day, and I am so happy to have found her here on Rover! She is communicative, reliable, and takes great care of my dog. It is so great to have peace of mind while I’m at work!”

Safety is of utmost importance to me and I will always ensure that your pet is as safe as possible. I have experience with crates for both cats and dogs if needed and will always be sure to check in about any safety concerns regarding your pet.
“Extremely great experience. Our dog is always excited and happy when Siria arrives for a walk. Very professional at all times and takes care our dog extremely well! Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve have two years of professional experience with providing care for dogs and cats, though I have lots of experience with taking care of animals, since I have a senior dog and a two year old cat! Ihave done over 300 services as a pet caregiver on another app, I can provide a link to my profile! I’m currently have a lot of free time but I am attending college a GMU only doing online classes this semester so my schedule is very flexible! I also usually always bring my sister with me on any service I do and she always helps out. I also want to let pet parents know that if your pet(s), specifically larger dogs, who are overly reactive that I can not provide services for you because of the safety of myself and the dog, please just be honest about how your dog(s) responds to caregivers, I always try my best to provide 110% effort in all my services and I can’t do that when your pet(s) is grabbing my leg and not letting go, or not listening to any commands or biting my clothes or my hands. I have walked large dogs and I have never had any issues with them and are usually always the sweetest pups to walk and are very gentle on their leashes, and are always excited to go on walks by jumping on me or licking but if your dog has behavioral issues I will not be able to provide services. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood and live near a walking trail. I have a family dog and cat who are both friendly to all animals. They are both low maintenance and always enjoy meeting new animals, they have been around birds and guinea pigs as well! I do prefer sitting in the pet parent’s home just mainly because the pets are most comfortable at their home and I don’t do overnight stays just because I also have animals that need my attention. I love when pet parents provide detail instructions about their expectations and daily tasks of their pets!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Gate
Angelly was amazing! I needed a dog walker at the last minute and booked her the day before, and she was available without any issues. She arrived five minutes early, was professional and thoughtful, and even asked where I preferred she dispose of the poop bags. She took my dog on a full 30-minute walk and kept me updated with several photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. The entire experience was smooth from start to finish, and she was such a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely book Angelly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, punctual, and caring dog walker!
We had a wonderful meet-and-greet and neighborhood walk today, and this walker is absolutely lovely! They naturally they handled commands with my high energy pup. If you need someone who is both highly capable and genuinely caring to look after your pup, I cannot recommend them enough!
She was so kind and such a joy to meet! We feel really good about trusting her with our dog and home! Right away she connected with our doberman and you can tell she has a lot of knowledge and experience! We are looking forward to working with her for walks and out of town stays!
This was our second booking with Kasey. She was easy to work with and great with our 3 dogs. She was quick to recognize their preferences and skilled at meeting individual needs. Our dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her and they napped/slept well after her visits.
This was my first time having Hayleigh walk my dog, and it was a great experience. My dog liked her right away, which is always a good sign. She was kind, responsive, and very responsible. I’m really glad I found her and will definitely use her again when I’m traveling for work. Thanks, Hayleigh ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 West Gate. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Gate.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Gate. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
