About: I have taken care of dogs since high school. I graduated college in 2023 with a degree in Health Sciences. I am currently working as an aide at a physical therapy clinic, and looking to make extra money. I love pet sitting and caring for animals is one of my strong suits. I am always willing to accommodate you and your dogs needs and I will always care for them like they are my own! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am a home body, so I am always at home and also have my mom and grandmom in the home to help if need be. In a clients home, I will leave it completely up to you, how I walk, feed, crate, etc. your dog. But I will always care for your dog as if they were my own! For pet sitting at my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but I usually walk the dogs on leashes around my yard or take them to the park by my house to walk them. I can crate them anywhere in the home if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys/crates/ dog accessories from my own dog.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life in my own home and around me, pet sitting overnight and drop-ins for family friends, as well as some experience at a dog washing business. I get along great with dogs and enjoy walking on my own, but especially with a companion! I’m working part time, so I’m available at various times throughout the week for drop-ins and stay-in’s with pups! I work some days 9-11 and other days 8-12; plenty of time to be with a dog. I get up to let my 2 dogs (German Shepard and a husky) outside in the morning, give them breakfast and play toys before heading to work. I give them a walk most days, take care of their water bowls and playing with them until dinner, as well as periodically letting them out throughout the day and giving them free time outside.
“Like Julian right away. As soon as he walked in the door , he had an immediate connection with our puppy, Oscar. Oscar has his moments, and sometimes does not listen. Not the case with Julian. Oscar listened to Julian and followed his direction immediately. My husband and I were very impressed. After the meet and greet, and we hired Julian on the spot.. The 30 minute walks are documented with a map, photos, activities, and comments. Julian was punctual and conscientious. I highly recommend Rover.com. More than that, I would recommend Julian to anyone.”
“Lana is amazing and it gave us such great comfort knowing she was taking care of our dog, Rocky, while being out of town! Awesome updates on what was going on and how Rocky was doing. Great communication and photos shared. Will absolutely book Lana again!”
About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years. Caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently don’t work and I am home all day so I can be with your dog most of the day and let them out frequently. I have a big fenced yard and like to walk dogs. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a child. I have had multiple dogs at a time, including puppies and senior dogs.

I have experience working with dogs, cats, rodents, and chickens among other animals. I have interned a multiple veterinary hospitals as well a multiple equine facilities, the one focusing on the medical care of aged equines. I have experience with puppies, aged dogs and cats, as well as pets with special needs. My experience work at a vet hospital has made me comfortable with administering medications. Since my college classes are online and my work schedule is very flexible, I have the freedom to come pet sit or dog walk at any time! My top priority is making sure your pets are well cared for and loved. This includes but is not limited to specialized attention on your pet. In addition making sure your home stays clean and in the same condition is very important to me.
“Kathleen is amazing, she’s our go to and love working with her! Super responsive and spams us (in a good way) with pics of the pups on their walks and during free play. 💯 recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to delicate seniors. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet feels happy and safe, and I keep in close communication with pet parents so you always know your pet is being well-cared for. As a fully remote worker, I have the flexibility to manage my meeting schedule, allowing me to allocate dedicated blocks of time for pet care. I keep my calendar meticulously up-to-date, ensuring that you can rely on the availability shown. I like to get to know each dog I care for and tailor activities based on their personality and needs. For active dogs we may play fetch and go for long walks. On bad weather days, I engage them with brain games, play tug of war, or offer a bone to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. My goal is to ensure each pet feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, whether they're at my home or in their own.
About: I am incredibly observant and mindful of pets ways of communicating. There are times they tell us something but can be easily missed if not watching for it. I have grown that skill over the years making me a great match with animals of all personalities. I don’t work Friday-Sunday so those days are relatively free! I am someone who makes it work so really just chatting through times is easiest. In my home it would be walk and activity focused as I am in an apartment- and I am easily adaptable for any of your pets needs.

“Jordynn was beyond amazing. She took care of our pups for almost a week and it was because she was there that we were able to relax on vacation. We received multiple texts, updates and pictures daily. She was always on time and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her!”
About: *** In MOST cases, I NEED to bring my dog with me for overnight stays. Please take that into consideration BEFORE you reach out to me. If you just need day time care I can be a bit more flexible on the above. Thank you for understanding. *** :) I love animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. Your animals will be well cared for when I watch them. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own- an almost 3 year old German Shepherd-who would have to come with me while I sit for you. I know our pups will have tons of fun playing together! My goal is to try and treat your pets like my own. I will make pets feel cared for and loved, even when their owners are not there. I work 6-4, Monday-Thursday. Monday is a work from home day and the rest of the week I’m in the office. (some flexibility on this, as I could stay home to work while dog sitting) I’d be happy to watch dogs during this time, but they will be long days if I can’t stay home. Because of this, the weekends are the best times for me to take care of pets, but I’d be happy to watch pets during the week if needed. I want to be there for your dogs needs. I’d be happy to accommodate any way I can. I make sure pups have adequate daily exercise, anything from parks, walks around the neighborhood, running in the backyard or playtime in general. I want you dogs to feel comfortable and safe in my care

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 Yerkes. 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.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
