About: Hi there! I'm Erika and I've been dog sitting for over 25 years. It was actually my first job! I have experience with many different breeds, sizes and ages. Dogs are allowed everywhere in my home but the use of a crate is welcome if it makes your fur baby more comfortable. I take the dogs in my care on multiple walks a day and have a separate place for them to eat peacefully, should the need arise. Meet and Greets are a great opportunity to see if my home and family are a good fit for your fur baby. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home so any animal in my care will be right by my side! I take all dogs in my care on multiple walks a day for relief and enrichment. My home is clean and safe. I am home the majority of the day so I will be in constant contact with any pet that is my care.

About: Animal lover and experienced dog owner with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I care for every pet as if they were my own and provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. 😊 I work from home, so I’m around most of the day. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I already plan my day around my own dog. Your pet would get lots of attention, care, and a consistent routine while they’re with me. At my home, pets have a calm, safe space with a fenced yard for play and plenty of room inside, including extra space if they need a quiet area. I’m home most of the day, so they get lots of attention and care.I also have a friendly dog, and I always make sure introductions are done slowly and comfortably. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Sara! 👋 Dogs have been my passion for over 12 years, and caring for them is one of my favorite things to do. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle expert, or a senior who just wants a slow stroll and some extra love, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I owner-trained my own service dog, which taught me how to truly understand canine body language, behavior, and communication. I’m always paying attention to the little things—whether a dog is feeling playful, nervous, overstimulated, or just needs a little extra patience. I have extensive experience with bully breeds, am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience safely managing crate-and-rotate households. I’m also confident administering medications and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away and for you to have complete peace of mind. Expect plenty of photo updates, belly rubs (if they’re into that!), playtime, enrichment, and lots of one-on-one attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I do this full time since I was laid off last year. I have very open availability and time to dedicate to your fur babies! I make sure each client leaves detailed instructions for food, medication and any vet care needed. I’m ocd about having all the info I need to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re out of town.

About: I will be home a lot, for the most part, with lots of free time during the week and on the weekends. I do have availability on holidays and will not be leaving town. I have a Veterinarian Assistant certificate which includes professional experience working in a veterinarian office. I frequently pet sit for family members. I also have over 4yrs experience as a kennel lead. Most importantly I am very passionate about animals and I'm very excited to be working on starting a lifetime career in the animal industry. I will treat your dog like I would my own with all the love and care possible. I am home most of the day. During any pets visit, they will never be alone. Your pet will have access to most of the house and a fenced in back yard for play and potty breaks. If I need to leave your pet alone, I do have a crate available for their safety. My home is pet safe. My children are well aware of how to respect pets boundaries. I have areas in my home for your pet to be separate from anything they are uncomfortable with.

About: During childhood and adulthood, I’ve been a dog mom to two pups. I’ve also lived with roommates who have had a dog or cat, so I’ve assisted with taking care of others’ pets too just to help out. I’ve always loved dogs and found them to be the best of friends and beloved members of our families. Professionally, I have 3 years of experience in pet sitting. Whether I’m doing a single drop in visit or housesitting for a week, I will provide your furry friends with attentive care & fun the whole time. All of this adds up to me being able to provide the best care, attention, and love for your pets. I’m experienced in basic obedience training and taking care of dogs in all sorts of environments—city life, rural areas, dog parks, indoor & outdoor dogs. I will take care of your dog(s) or cat(s) like they are my own and ensure they are safe and happy! I typically work remotely, which means I can either work remotely from your home if housesitting, or plan my breaks from work into my schedule for shorter visits with your pet. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings during the week and weekends! Safety is of the utmost importance so I can use dog gates (if available), separate rooms for meals, and never leaving dogs alone with each other. Additionally, I’m always on high alert when outside with a pet. I make sure to use my keen attention to detail to keep everything clean and tidy in the home, and when checking on dogs after being outside or when coming in to visit with them. I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and videos to put your mind at ease.

About: Hi my name is Erika, I’m your average super animal lover. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was an itty bitty child. I have experience with large pets, and small ones as well as cats, dogs, turtles, etc. I currently have 4 dogs and 2 cats whom I love very dearly. I am free to help with pet care any day of the week. I’m available starting at 8am and am available throughout the whole day. My pets have a large fenced in backyard to play in. I typically keep the back door open for them to run in and out of. I also love to spoil them with new toys. I feed them twice a day based on their weight and breed and make sure their water supply is regularly filled and filtered.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who specializes in making pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’ve spent the last 10+ years living with and caring for cats, so I’m an expert at reading their moods—from high-energy play to quiet snuggles. I also spent 5 wonderful years as a dog owner, so I’m no stranger to belly rubs and neighborhood walks! Whether your pet is a shy kitty or a social pup, I’ll treat them like my own family. I’m self employed and have plenty of flexibility and time to take care of your furry babies. I am generally available all week as needed. I treat your pets like family! For cats, I prioritize a fresh environment: cleaning the litter box, refreshing water fountains, and following precise feeding schedules. For dogs, I’m all about fun walks and engaging play. I am happy to accommodate any special requests to keep your routine consistent. Most importantly, I’ll send plenty of photos and videos so you can see exactly how much fun your furry friend is having!

About: I have hands-on experience with dog sitting and basic pet training, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy puppies who need structure and consistency or older dogs who thrive on routine and gentle care, I adjust my approach to meet each pet’s individual needs. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. I already have a dog of my own, and I’m very structured and committed to maintaining his routine and schedule. Because of that, caring for other pets blends seamlessly into my lifestyle. My day is built around walks, feeding times, play sessions, and rest periods, so adding another pet simply means extending the same level of care, structure, and attentiveness. Working remotely also gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, engagement, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!

About: I have helped my brother take care of his Rover bookings in the past while he and I lived together. He and I took care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, tortoises, and even a pot belly pig. My family has always been an animal loving family. We have always had at least one cat and/or dog in our homes. I currently live with my mother, and I recently had my dog cross the rainbow bridge, so I thought this would be a good way to help cope. I have a lot of love to give for your pet(s). My schedule is very flexible since I work independently, and my mother is widely available to help with boarding since she is retired. My mother does have a 4 year old cat that is friendly with other animals. I am the only one of the two of us that is available to house-sit and pet-sit. We are both happy to help give you the peace of mind and give your pet(s) the love and care that they deserve. As I said before, I am currently working independently which means I make my own schedule. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule on short notice if needed. As I also said, my mother is available to help me with boarding throughout the week since she is retired. We have a fenced in backyard and a pet friendly home since we have always had pets. Currently my mom has a 4 year old cat that is friendly with other animals. Not all of the animals in my pictures are mine. People have been trusting me with their pets for a long time.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working in veterinary animal hospitals and professional pet care facilities. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I'm trained in safe handling, basic grooming (bathing, nail trims, ear cleaning), and administering medications. Beyond technical skills, I genuinely love animals and treat every dog like family. My background gives me the confidence to manage unexpected situations calmly and with care, so pet parents can have peace of mind Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. With my experience in animal hospitals and boarding facilities, I’m used to a routine centered around feeding, walking, grooming, and monitoring animal health. Whether I’m working or at home, caring for animals brings me joy and structure. I prioritize consistency, so pets feel safe and loved — whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or just keeping them company. Pet care isn’t just something I do; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet gets personalized, attentive care. I stick to their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed. I provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection. I'm also trained to safely administer medications, including pills and topical treatments, and I keep a close eye on pets' behavior and well-being. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I create a calm, caring environment so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.

About: I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I focus on providing dependable, loving, attentive care while keeping pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. What sets me apart is my flexible availability, calm personality, and genuine love for animals. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to routines and special instructions, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in.” I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and pets who may need extra attention, slower walks, medications, or a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and at ease while traveling. My youngest child has gone off to college, and I’ve lovingly cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ fur babies for years. That’s my grand-fur-baby English Cream Golden in the photo 🥰 I have a very flexible schedule and open availability, so your pets will get lots of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, evenings, overnights, and holidays. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family and always try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For overnight stays in a client’s home, I aim to provide a calm, comforting presence so pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and administering basic medications if needed. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.

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 Whistleville. 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 , 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 Whistleville 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 , 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 .

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 .

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.
