“Alison and Tom have walked my dog a few times- they are excellent communicators, always send pictures- I can tell Oliver is well loved when he is in their care.”
“Elizabeth took her time introducing herself to my dog who was a little nervous at first but she won her over in minutes and off they happily went on their walk. My pup came back happy and sufficiently tuckered out. :) Elizabeth gave lots of details about how the walk went and did great with dog handling. I’ll definitely call on her again!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, beginning with growing up alongside a German Shepherd. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs, personalities, and the importance of body language. I got to meet my best friend and soul dog, Nabi, in 2018. She was my absolute world. In 2024, a tragic loss happened due to unexpected health emergency while I was traveling, That heartbreaking experience changed how I view pet care forever. I understand the profound anxiety of leaving a beloved dog behind and the critical importance of having a trusted, watchful person present. As a Rover sitter, my ultimate promise is to offer the constant vigilance, gentle comfort, and quick responsiveness I wish I had back then—so your dog is always safe, loved, and never alone. I’m currently in school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. I’m available every day for walks and will do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone is caring for your pet in your home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and in the condition you left them. I’m dependable, respectful, and attentive to your instructions and your pet’s routine. I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is being cared for and your home is in good hands.
About: Small Groups, Big Attention: Personalized Walks for Your Dog With over 20 years of dog care experience, I bring a real understanding of dogs to each walk. What makes my walks different: 🐾 Max 2 dogs at a time. Your dog gets genuine attention, not a spot in a pack. I notice their mood, energy, and cues, every walk. 🐾 Paced to your dog, not the clock. Some days call for a slow sniff walk—letting them read every scent on the block. Other days they need to burn energy with a brisker pace. I adjust in the moment based on what your dog actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all route. 🐾 20+ years of hands-on experience. I've cared for dogs of multiple ages, breed, and temperament—from anxious rescues to high-energy puppies to easygoing seniors. That experience means I can read a dog quickly and respond calmly to whatever comes up. What you can expect: Photo/video updates from the walk GPS-tracked routes Consistent, reliable scheduling A walker who treats your dog like an individual, not a job on a list If you want a walker who slows down when your dog needs to sniff and speeds up when they need to run, let's talk about your pup. I run my business from home. My schedule is flexible. Your pup will get walks and a loving companion. Dogs are my true love and I absolutely adore spending time with them. I have a large fenced yard as well as a dedicated indoor area for pups. Your pup will be able to sit on the sofa with us and snuggle. My pup Bernie loves making friends. They will keep busy
“I had a very positive experience with having Yana walk my two dogs. It has been a pleasure working with her. She truly seems like an empathetic animal lover. She walked my two large dogs over the weekend and I was impressed with how their walks with her noticeably improved their demeanor.”
“Emma was fantastic with my dog! He took to her so quickly and he’s usually more shy/timid around strangers. She followed all instructions to a T and took a bunch of photos which I appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Emma to watch your fur babies!”
About: I’ve care for pets of all sizes and temperaments, bringing a happy, reliable presence that animals and their humans quickly trust. With hands-on experience in pet sitting, walking, I prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being as if I were their mom. I’m currently working part-time in a tech and good job so I have flexible schedules on both weekdays and weekends. Happy to help with taking care of your dearest family member! I have a Shiba Inu girl (3-year-old), nice and well-behaved, she loves furry friends and gets along with them well. Let’s have a quality pet time together!
“Tina is very conscientious and caring with my special needs pup Buoy (he's a Tripod). I was really nervous at first returning to the office having just adopted this dog who was really afraid of other people. She has really helped bring my shy dog out of his shell these last couple of weeks and always gives great (and funny) updates. I completely trust her with Buoy highly recommend her!”
“Ashley is always prompt and gets the wiggles out of Finn. I appreciate knowing Finn is in good hands and getting exercise while I work. I highly recommend Ashley to others, as she is thoughtful, reliable and personable. It’s a goid fit for us!”
“Jennifer was so incredibly attentive and thoughtful when considering each pups needs/tendencies. Communicated very well and was accommodating to all fluctuations in schedules and helped on short notice. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Meg and Ryan are amazing! Treat our dogs like family and go that extra mile to make sure they are good - which is awesome with our senior dog. Am using and will continue to use their services!!”
About: I worked at a vet clinic for about two years, helping with restraint for exams and diagnostics. I took care of the boarding pets and administered medications. Additionally, I did about a year of clinical rotations working with animals. All this, not including my own pet experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and a ferret. I am starting a new business and I will be working from home. I will have plenty of time to take care of furrr babies I have a large courtyard where our dogs can run around. My dog loves to play with other dogs. I also have room for crates if desired
About: Animals have always been at the center of our lives. Together, we share our home with two senior dogs, both 12 years old, and caring for them has given us firsthand experience through every stage of a pet’s life. From the boundless energy of puppies to the special attention senior pets need, we understand how routines, patience, and care make all the difference. Over the years, we became the go-to pet sitters for friends and family, trusted to look after pets of all kinds. From kittens to cats, small dogs to large breeds with big personalities. More recently, we’ve expanded that circle, building a business rooted in reliability, trust, and a genuine love for animals. What sets us apart is the thoughtful, consistent care we bring as a team. We take time to understand your pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily lives, and with both of us involved, we’re able to offer flexible coverage. Together, we can reliably accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended visits without rushing or cutting corners. Our goal is to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent, whether that means a quick midday check-in, evening walks, or longer stretches of care. By working as a team, we’re able to give your pet more attention and you more peace of mind. When we’re in your home, our priority is creating a calm, safe environment for your pet. We follow your instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite walking routes, because pets thrive on familiarity. You can expect reliable updates and communication from us so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, we treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect we would want for our own.
About: Having grown up on a farm I have been around animals my entire life. My favorite have always been dogs and cats. I have taken animal care and vet sciences in 4H and volunteered in an animal shelter. I can't imagine life without animals, they add so much joy to life. I currently work part time as a caregiver for seniors. Most of my days are 4 to 6 hours long with weekends off. I have a flexible schedule . Since my schedule is flexible I can adjust to you pets needs well so they are being fed and walked at their regular times to help reduce stress.
“Victoria is amazing. This is our first time using Victoria and we will definitely be using her again. Our boys loved her and they were well taken care of’. We had a wonderful vacation and did not worry about anything. We knew they were in good hands and she did not disappoint us at all. I highly recommend Victoria.”
About: I raised my heart dog since she was 8 weeks old and a whirlwind of chaos (working breed with no job) into a loving, well behaved family companion so I’m comfortable with puppy and dog training in a calm, reward-based manner. I miss my dog so much and I’m ready to give yours all the love I have carried for the last 5 years that I haven’t had my baby. I’m a product photographer that works from home and makes her own schedule so your babies will always get the attention, love and potty breaks they need and deserve. Otherwise, I'm really outdoorsy and active so if your dog enjoys long walks or hikes, I’m happy to take them with me! I have a fully fenced backyard on a 1/3 acre in a quiet, lovely neighborhood in SW PDX where your dog can run free or sniff the flowers 🥰 If taking care of your pet in your own home is less disruptive to their routines, I’m happy to petsit at your house!
“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”
“Julia has been very helpful pitching in for midday walks whenever we have schedule changes and cannot be home. We appreciate her flexibility, communication, and thoughtful attention to our dog!”

Alison and Tom are the best!! I cannot stress enough how wonderful it is to have them to take care of our boys when we’re gone. They are receptive to their needs and treat them like family. I always feel relieved that Gatsby and Nigel are in good hands. Thanks so much y’all!
I couldn't possibly write a review good enough to express my appreciation and high praise for Danielle! So I'll just say, look no further. Danielle is an incredibly kind, punctual, communicative, and thoughtful person. She was always on time, quick to respond, and when the ground was damp, she even brought her own towel to wipe down my dog after their walk! She also leaves the best report cards. I hope she publishes a book of short stories about her dog walks; I would purchase it in a heartbeat >_< Repeat customer for life!
Erica is so amazing! Our little puppy was nervous the first few days, and Erica just sat and played with her until she was ready to go for a walk. I am continually impressed by Erica's intuition and how she goes above and beyond for our dog. You can really tell she cares!

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 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.
