“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”
About: Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to. With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine. I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.
“Ava filled in for us in an emergency/last minute situation and was a life saver!! She arrived on time, took him for a great walk, and made my nervous boy feel comfy 🫶🏼 she is fantastic and so thankful for her flexibility! Would recommend any time!!”
About: I have shared my home with various dog breeds and personalities since birth. I will love your dog as much as you do! I look forward to providing your dog with the same care they receive from you. Whether that's giving them long walks or playing with them around the house, I will maintain your dog's strictest routines. My flexible schedule allows me to visit your home multiple times a day to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My extroverted personality, attention to detail. and positive attitude will grant you peace of mind, and your dog a new best friend! Please do not hesitate to ask for my previous dog owners for their references. They were very satisfied! Now that I am working from home several days, my availability is more open. With my flexible work schedule, I am available to walk or check in on your pets. I am also available in the evenings when you need a break. I am happy to continue your routines when dog sitting to keep your pet comfortable. We can easily discuss what that looks like for you.
“Chandler was wonderful. Alton loved her right away, and he’s usually a good judge of character. Not only was she fantastic with Alton, she was easy to work with and sent so many great pictures! Highly recommend.”
“Natalie did a great job with our boy, Chubbs. She kept us updated with any changes to his behavior or health. Great person to work with :) I would highly recommend and if I ever need a walker and she is available I will book with her.”
“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”

About: Hello! I’m Davis, I’m 27, and I have grown up around and caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience dealing with both senior dogs and puppies too! I currently live with my families dog Nelson, who is a one year old labradoodle. I have cared for and watched over my friends and extended family’s dogs when they’ve requested help.

I also try to check my dogs paws, ears, eyes, and teeth a couple times per week to make doubly sure he is in good health. For my clients dogs, I would provide the same kind of attention to detail and safety I do for my own dog. You can expect timely correspondence back to you and the utmost care for your pup.

About: My heart has always been devoted to dogs ever since I was little. We’ve always had a family dog(s) and I was blessed with my very own little furbaby April 2017. I have a 7 yo golden retriever who is a ball of energy! I am very active; love running and have volunteered at multiple animal shelters. I’m familiar with insulin injections and pill administration. I do work from home now and have a fairly flexible schedule. I recently bought a house.. for my dog ...and he loves his big backyard. It's fenced in and gives him plenty of room to run around and play fetch. Feel free to ask me any questions :) I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule during the day. My personal gets let out whenever he wants and am open to mornings, evenings and weekends Safety is first. I always check that dogs are not prone to jumping fences, are okay on walks or ask if there’s anything I should know (dart after squirrels or cars, pull, etc). When they stay over they are let out frequently and I’m usually home aside from running errands or going to dinner/ movies. Always fresh water.

I’ve walked and watched pets for friends and family for years, and I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own. As a professional hairstylist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in throughout the day between appointments. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some comforting company, I’m happy to help give your pet the love and care they deserve. I’m currently working part-time and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to give your pet the attention and care it needs throughout the day I offer walks, check ins and boarding. A walk would include 20-30 mins around the neighborhood, and to make sure they have water and a treat when we return. I have often looked after friends cats too, which would include play time, cuddles, and scooping their box and making sure their food and water is full.

Could not recommend Courtney & Sara enough! They did so great with our new dog who has a tendency to be a little anxious and nervous around new people. I really appreciate their willingness to meet our dog before accepting the responsibility of walking him, and their communication during each visit. Thank you guys!
Trevor is terrific! Not only did he offer my dog a great walk, but he has a friendly demeanor and enthusiasm that made them almost instant pals. I felt confident in his care for my girl... And she was both tuckered and happy tail-wagging after their time together.
Emma was absolutely wonderful! She took care of our dogs for almost two weeks, coming to our home every day to feed them, walk them, and make sure they were happy and comfortable. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also sent us updates every day, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dogs. We highly recommend Emma!
Aaron was wonderful helping out with Mav. He came over before the first walk and met Mav in a nice, relaxed way. He spent time letting Mav get to know him and I felt very comfortable with him walking Mav. He came over when he said he would and gave Mav some good exercise on his walk. Very trustworthy guy and great with dogs!
We hired Sarah to take care of our girl, Hallow on our wedding day. She was part of the ceremony but we wanted to have someone with her to make sure she did okay in the heat and chaos. The best thing we ever did was pick Sarah! She was AMAZING ! Sarah showed up on time, and just took over in action. She dressed our puppy in her cute floral collar and harness and just knew exactly what to do. She made sure she was comfortable, had plenty of water, and love. Then, she assisted Hallow during the ceremony and getting her down the aisle completely unprompted. I am just beyond thankful we had her there that day for help. Sarah even stayed with Hallow in the hotel room just to make sure she wasn’t lonely. If you need a pet sitter, walker, or a pet handler for a big event - Sarah is who you need! We don’t live local in Eureka Springs, but we visit often. And Sarah will 100% be who we hire again. I’m even considering just driving to Eureka to have Sarah sit again when we go on vacations in the future. She was so good and I trust her 100% to take care of Hallow again. She was so sweet and nice and you can just tell how much she loves animals. Really so great! Oh and the best part! She was a professional puppy photographer that day! I received so many amazing photos of Hallow, our pup, during our wedding day that look like a professional photographer’s photo! I just can’t say enough good things, she was amazing.

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 Westwood. 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.
