“Michele has been amazing. We have a steady week schedule with her and she continues to impress us. Kaia is definitely a handful and she takes care of her with ease. Michele is amazing with communication, my dog had an accident in the house and she informed me in detail and even helped cleaned up. We are extremely grateful for her help and I know Kaia enjoys her visits and her departure treats!”
About: Hi there, I’m Abbygale but go by Ari or Abby! I recently adopted a cat, which is where most of my experience comes from, as well as a different range of animals through Rover itself! My experience leans more basic but I am very open to learning :) I work another full-time job that keeps me occupied during the evenings (roughly 3pm-12am)—my lunch break is not sufficient enough for me to step out and do check-ins/let animals out for bathroom breaks. My schedule is not completely set in stone, however I primarily work weekends. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Please feel free to ask about my availability or catch me early enough to put in a notice! When it comes to caring for animals, I can only take up to three (3), I’m flexible in some regards but talking it through will result in the best case scenario for both of us! I stick with the schedule, if given, so that the pet doesn’t stress out over it—I’ll be as flexible as given
About: When I got adopted at 8 the family that took me in had 10 dogs and that was one of my first chores to feed them everyday, and ever since then I fell in love with caring for dogs. I work from 12-8 Monday through Friday but my job allows me to leave if I needed to let dogs out for the restroom or anything like that! I am a live in nanny and my boss has 2 small dogs that would definitely keep them company, and have a huge backyard and plenty of treats if allowed!
About: Hi, I’m Caitlin! I provide dependable, attentive pet care and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs—and I always aim to make pets feel comfortable and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk around the neighborhood, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to me anytime! I always respond fast. I know it’s important to keep our animals in their routine so I can be flexible with times! I like to keep things as normal as possible for your pets. I can play, let them out, go on walks, give treats, etc. No request is too much when it comes to keeping them in their routine.
About: Since I was about 10 years old and had my first dog, a floppy Basset Hound named Happy, I have loved taking care of pets, especially dogs. Just like Happy received, I believe every dog deserves genuine care, attention and affection. I'll be sure to love on and give your dog special care, just like I did Happy. I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home during the week, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I provide a calm, loving environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. In your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Growing up surrounded by animals means caring for pets isn't just a service I offer—it's second nature. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve spent years sharing my home with dogs, cats, and small animals, learning firsthand the unique quirks, routines, and personalities that make each animal special. That lifelong experience naturally led me into pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need endless game-time to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Im currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding in your home weekends and holidays and weekdays after 12pm. Caring for my own 2 Labador Retrievers daily gives me deep, practical experience in keeping high-energy, affectionate dogs happy, healthy, and structured. I bring that exact same standard of care directly into your home when watching your pets. Here is how I care for my Labs and bring that expertise to your home: Structure & Exercise: My Retrievers thrive on consistent daily walks, active fetch sessions, and mental stimulation like puzzle toys. I adapt this energy outlet to your dog’s specific age, breed, and fitness level. Mealtime & Health Routines: With my own dogs, strict feeding schedules, weight monitoring, and coat care are second nature. I follow your home’s exact feeding, dietary, and medication instructions down to the letter. Positive Energy & Safety: Labs are famously friendly but require strong leash skills and reliable impulse control. I use gentle, structured reinforcement to ensure safe walks and calm house manners. In-Home Comfort & Peace of Mind: Caring for dogs in their home environment minimizes stress. I keep your pets content in their familiar routines while keeping your home secure, clean, and well-maintained. Whether it is keeping up with a high-energy Retriever or giving gentle attention to a quiet senior dog, I treat every client's home and pet with the same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own.
About: I have had dogs for 25+ years. They're a part of my everyday existence. I was primary caretaker for the last three dogs for ten years. I have successfully trained and retrained all of them "post adoption", and then again at every three year mark. I'm the "dog whisperer" in our family. Dogs are "better" judges of character than most humans, and they love me! I will treat your fur baby with the same level of love, attention, and care that I treat my own. I walk my own before the sun comes up, and again at night if its below 90. We do little training sets anytime behavior starts to slip. I take care of my aging parents, which occupies a few hours in the mornings and evenings. Outside of that, I am more than willing and able to take the proper time, attention, and effort that your pet needs and deserves. I can be flexible with your scheduling needs. Sometimes life is busy, but the "babies" still need prioritization. I have a fenced yard with a dozen grown oak trees for shade and yard play. There is also a pool where my current dog enjoys a morning cool down swim! Dog care in my home is very routine. Feeding and walking times are on a consistent daily schedule. All pills are marked clearly for time and dosage. I keep the treats to a minimum based on daily activity. I/we do treat them a bit more like "people" than dogs. They ARE family to us. We have never had a health or safety related "incident" that would fall outside the normal scope of animal health. Our family dogs have all lived long, happy, healthy lives. We spare no expense. They get what they need and then some, just as if they were a child.
About: Animals are my entire world. Your kiddos will be in good hands in our home. I have a background in ER vet medicine and ran my own mobile pet nail trimming business in AZ. We are looking to lend a hand to our neighbors pets and make them feel like they are at home 🤍 I currently work from home so I have plenty of time and love to give to your fur babies. They will have someone home with them 24/7 and can make themselves feel right at home. I have a large home and have plenty of space to roam. I have a German shepherd puppy who loves to play but also knows when it’s time to relax. I am open to any service you are needing and love to give daily picture updates
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for the past 10 yeas. I have also enjoyed dog sitting for close friends and family. I have more experience with small and medium dogs, but welcome all dog friends! I currently work from home part time. I do not have a set schedule so I am very flexible and can be ready at a moments notice. I live in a second story apartment which might be more ideal for small or medium dogs, however, I will never discriminate against larger dog! I typically spend time outside, either on the balcony or taking walks. My apartment complex has a dog park and is close to a dog friendly trail.
About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.
About: I am an experienced pet parent with two rescue pups, a special needs senior husky, and an anxious, high-energy pit mix. I understand dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs! Whether it’s senior care, puppy training, or calming anxious pups, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve!" I am currently self-employed and I get to set my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility in my days at this time. "Whether it's checking in, going for a walk, or just spending time, I will treat your pup like my own. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dog, a high-energy pit mix with anxiety, and recently lost my senior husky who had a lot of medical needs, I understand that every dog has unique needs, personalities, and quirks. I have experience with everything from managing medical care for senior pups to helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. Whether your dog needs extra patience, plenty of playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’m here to provide the same love, care, and attention I give my own furry family."
About: I’ve taken care and volunteered with animals for most of my life. I have experience with aiding senior animals and medications. I have also cared for and owned exotics and now am working with livestock. I’ve experienced rodents, reptiles, fish, farm animals, etc. I currently work part time with livestock two days a week, so I am looking for a little extra without all of the physical strain. With that being said, I’m very ambitious and always looking for more connections and opportunities. I am available any time Friday-Monday but I can be flexible! I am a very gentle person and respectful of your space and your (fur) babies! I can deal with the chaos of your young animals, and I can slow down for your more elderly ones. I understand that trusting someone with your pets can be scary! That’s why I practice excellent communication and attentiveness to put your mind at ease.
About: While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved being around animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can work around my other responsibilities. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, and I’ll communicate clearly about my availability. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, make sure doors and gates stay secure, and give your pet plenty of attention and care while they’re with me.
About: I have experience taking care of a dog with dementia (my own pet), puppies, I currently help take care of a 14 year-old lab with cancer so I understand love and compassion but above all the work that it takes to make sure a dog is comfortable and as happy as possible. I will currently be available full-time for the care of your pet. I will be available during the week and weekends and will be able to take care of your pet. Should you need to go on a business trip or should you go on a much-needed vacation? I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs and will be more than happy to have check-in’s with camera so pet parents are comfortable about where their pet is staying.

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 Westlake. 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 Westlake 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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
