“Holly is a life saver! I had a last minute booking for a dog walk today and Holly made sure she was available to be there for Macho and I appreciate her so much for it! Thanks Holly again you rock!”
“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: I've been a dog sitter for over a decade, on top of having my own pets as well. I've watched dogs as small as shih tzus and yorkies, to dogs as big pit bulls and labs. I am pretty active and love to go on walks, and would love to bring your dog with me! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility throughout the day to help take care of your pets! I am available for daytime walks or check-ins almost everyday, and available to house sit any time as long as you reach out in advance! I have house-sat for friends and family for over 10+ years, and feel very comfortable saying that I have always been a clean, respectful house guest. I am a non-smoker; and I would prioritize your comfort and privacy while staying in your home, ensuring your pet is well cared for when I am there.
“Alina has been walking our dog Izzy. Alina is very trustworthy, always on time and sends great updates of their walk! I have such peace of mind that Izzy is in great hands while I’m at work. She is the best!”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
“Catherine has been great with our 2 black labs the last couple of months. They get excited every time she comes to the door, because they know they're going for a nice walk. We are scheduled for 3 walks a week but with the holidays, snow days,and work from home days the schedule has fluctuated drastically. Catherine has been very accommodating. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs through my previous work at PetPals, as well as pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I prioritize time for walks, play sessions, and feeding, ensuring each pet receives personalized attention. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate various needs, whether it’s daily visits or extended care. Your pets will always feel cared for and loved. In my home, I create a safe and stimulating environment with secure spaces for play and relaxation. I ensure all pet supplies are pet-friendly and that there are no hazards. In clients' homes, I follow their routines closely, respecting their space while providing the same level of care. Trust is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates to keep pet owners informed and at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of pets, my own or others ever since I’ve was in kindergarten. I am an ordained Animal Chaplain. I have studied animal behavior and animal ethics. I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
About: Hey guys, My name is Katy, I have 2 pharaoh hounds. One is 2 years old very energetic and the other is 9 and like to lounge. Having pharaoh hounds has given me all the experience with dogs that need extra exercise, attention and careful supervision. I am comfortable with all size dogs. Please note I only sit male dogs who have been neutered. Unspayed female dogs are fine as long as they are not in heat during my care. I work a hybrid schedule. Home MWF and at office on tues/thursday. On office days I come home at lunch to give the pups a potty break. I am home 24/7 on weekends. I treat every pet like they are my own. I give them love, attention, exercise and make sure to stick to their routines while the owners are away.
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds throughout my life. From dogs and cats to snakes and chinchillas, I have experienced it all! I have over a year of experience working alongside a wonderful pet sitting company that has taught me everything there is to know about our furry friends. Before that, I have experience with my own pups! I've had Chihuahuas, a Husky, and a Jack Russel, so there is truly no task I am unwilling to take on. I am always trying to grow and educate myself on behavior in pets! I currently work at a Pet Servicing company, working weekdays from 10am-3pm. I am fully available on the weekends, and anytime in the morning or nights on weekdays. That leaves plenty of time to hang out and care for your beloved furry family! I am here to take care of your fur babies and absolutely nothing more. Any information you provide me with will be kept solely to myself, and will be 100% safe. If there is any specific tasks you need me to perform around the household, I will always be willing to help!
About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have 2 of my own, a bichon/shih tzu who I’ve had since I was 13 (she’s very old and doing great for her age) and a border collie mix who my partner and I rescued in 2020. She’s about 7 now, so also in her senior years. I have experience with leash training with her. I’ve lived with dogs all my life and love all types of dogs, big and small. I have various experiences looking after pets for family and friends, while also providing care to children through personal connections or the use of other reputable online care services. I hope to be able to look after your dog(s) and make them feel as loved as you do! I have a full-time job where I work in-office 3 days per week. My partner works fully remote and doesn’t mind helping out with walks when I’m in the office. We take our dogs outside about 4x per day, ensuring a longer walk in the afternoon/evening for brain stimulation! Living in an apartment complex, there is a small dog park area a short walking distance. Our dogs don’t enjoy that type of environment, so we don’t visit it, but we do have access to a walking trail so in the warmer weather we’ll frequent that for exercise with the dogs. When watching other folks’ dogs I usually avoid/limit the visiting dog’s interaction with other dogs for safety purposes. Our dogs are welcoming of other dogs, being older they take the coexisting approach and with time they’ll form their own little pack. My partner and I have both had dogs all our lives, so we know all dogs are different and have their own personalities and needs, which may vary in new situations/environments. We welcome the opportunity to take care of your dogs the same way you do!

Guillermo took our 5 month puppy Maple out for their first walk today, he’s taken time to get to know her, understand her needs and has had great communication from first contact! Looking forward to their bond grow stronger as they get to hang out more times :) thank you!!
Ian was fantastic with our separation anxiety dog! He was patient with him and allowed him to adjust to him gradually. This was the first time we were able to travel without worrying. Ian sent plenty of photos and kept us updated with our pup’s progress. We will definitely use Ian again. He was so thoughtful in following all our instructions and skillful in providing our pup with plenty of mental stimulation.

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.
