“Communicative and reliable! Did great handling our rather complicated dog! Was able to take her on walks even though she can have behavioral issues and gave her meds without issue! Great trustworthy drop in sitter, would love to use his services again!”
About: I have always had a dog in my life since being born. From either owning my own, fostering pups, or helping take care of roommates' dogs. I love all kinds of breeds, especially pitty. I work full time from 6 am to 2 pm Monday though Friday. Typically weekends are open to any schedule. With some long weekend throughout the year. I live in a duplex, with no fenced in yard. I have one dog that has free range of the house. Any are aloud anywhere. I do have access to get on base for Fort Riley.
About: I’ve take care dogs since I was 7 always around dogs and always helping neighbors with their dogs. It is the best environment that I love to in it. I’m currently working on base but I’m always available after 5 pm and weekends for walking daily after 5 pm or staying with me if someone needs to travel. I have a fenced backyard and friendly dog that loves to play so I have enough space for more dogs and toys for them to play.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds for my entire life. While dogs and cats have always been family members, I also have experience with birds, reptiles and rats. I have a huge soft spot for senior animals, but I’m also not afraid to use positive reinforcement to work with little ones as well. I’m currently a homemaker, so I will have plenty of time to help care for your pets no matter what time of day they need attention. I love spending the time to play with pets and go on walks. Safety is my top priority and I’m very open to doing anything I can to keep a consistent schedule with them and provide them love and enrichment while you’re away.
About: Serving Clay Center KS Junction City, KS and surrounding areas as well I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and have vast experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, needs, and species. I am very physically active and can provide fast paced walks or runs for the more energetic dogs. I’m very intuitive with animals and am able to adjust my energy to suit their needs and requirements for a more peaceful interaction. I spent about 2 years volunteering at my local dog shelter, as the dog exerciser and obedience trainer, producing excellent results. I was a former Security Forces member in the United States Air Force- attention to detail and integrity are engrained in me. I love picking up pet care jobs on the side whenever I can. I work several part time jobs as a welder, personal trainer, and reiki practitioner. I love having a variety of jobs to do- especially when it involves animals! If I am caring for your pet(s) in your home, they will be very well taken care of. They will receive loads of love and attention and your home will also be in excellent hands. While on walks, I am very attentive and cautious of all possibilities and situations, ensuring that your pet will never get loose or harmed.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 4 years, including overnight stays in owners' homes, always ensuring happy tails and wagging smiles!

Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or keeping routines on track, I’m here to provide loving, stress-free care for your pets and home. ❤️🐾 My schedule is currently open and flexible, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s needs! However, spots are filling up fast as more families trust me to care for their beloved pets. Don’t wait too long— Book with me now to secure your dates before my calendar fills up! 🐾✨ Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. As a fellow dog owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I treat every dog like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. From sticking to routines to providing plenty of attention and supervision, you can count on me to keep your pup happy and secure. With years of experience and a genuine love for dogs, your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. 🐾❤️
About: I grew up with both large and small animals, and have years of experience working with dogs that are reactive or have behavior issues such as food and toy aggression. I love being able to earn trust and provide a trusting environment to animals needing a second chance. I am currently available weekdays except Thursdays between 1pm-5pm for dog walking and drop in visits for cats. I would prefer to meet any new pets before providing a service so that im sure that they will feel comfortable with me. Please feel free to message me about housesitting and I will consider it on a case by case basis, as I am unable to housesit in my own currently. I make sure safety is a priority in my home as someone who has experience with aggressive animals. Food is always kept away, and feeding times are kept seperate and at specific times. I prioritize making sure that large animals are not left out with small animals as it can turn fatal even in bonded pairs.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .

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 request a 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
