“Adriana is the best there is! I tend to worry when I’m away from my dogs and Adriana makes me feel completely at ease. She is smart, communicative, and efficient! Highly recommend!”
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
About: Hello Canine Parents, I love and welcome dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. While you are away, I will feed, walk and play with your with puppy or dog with love and compassion. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully monitor interactions and create a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax and enjoy themselves. I will care for your dog as if they were my own! My schedule would be based on your dog's needs. I am available for daily check-ins, over night stays and daily walks. Your dog's needs come first. When caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable and stress free as possible. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, portion sizes, treats, medications and any special dietary needs. Fresh water will always be available. Daily walks and exercise would be tailored to your dog's age, energy level and your preferences. Exercise could be a short/long walk, short bathroom breaks, playtime in the yard or indoor activities. Companionship, affection and attention are a must when caring for your pet.
“Absolutely. I’d make it a little warmer and more polished while keeping it natural: Emily did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was away for two weeks. She was very communicative whenever something needed my attention, but was also incredibly independent and trustworthy in caring for them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Emily!”
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.
“⸻ I’ve been trusting Abhay with my dog for the past four years, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is incredibly reliable and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is his excellent communication. After each session, he provides thoughtful updates on how things went, which shows how attentive and engaged he is. On the rare occasion when there’s any uncertainty, he doesn’t hesitate to reach out for clarification, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that he takes both his work and my dog’s well-being seriously. It’s a huge comfort knowing my dog is in such capable and caring hands.”
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
About: Hi! I've had two dogs in my lifetime, and have experience at a dog day care training facility for 2+ years. I have experience in walking and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work part time in the mornings, but I am available any time in the early afternoons and evenings. If needed in the morning, let me know and we can work something out! My knowledge and constant attention to each individual pet's needs is crucial to proper care. Whether it be play, feeding or simply being there to make them comfortable.
About: I’ve owned my fair share of animals over the years and there’s one thing for certain, I never had one that didn’t like a treat and a belly rub. Im available nearly everyday preferably from 8 in the morning to 8 at night however I am willing to make exceptions depending on service needed. I have a half acre fenced in backyard and a quiet- low traffic neighborhood that’s great for walks. I’ve owned 2 large dogs so I am able to control larger pulling dogs if needed.
About: I have had two dogs at home my whole life, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs. I now have my own dog that I have self-trained, independently. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of experience walking, training, and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! I am extremely responsible and also very active, so there is no doubt your dog would be in good hands. I am willing to take your dogs for long walks and/or runs and also play with them and give them love. I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to build a long-term relationship with you and your dog, so that both parties will have some consistency. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the possible care of your dogs! I currently have flexibility on weekday evenings after 3:30 PM. Additionally, I am available all day on Tuesdays and on the weekends. I am very flexible with my schedule, though! At your home, I feel comfortable feeding, playing and walking your dog. Additionally, I have my own dog that loves to play with other dogs, if you are comfortable with that!
“Elizabeth is the BEST cat sitter. She is communicative and very thorough with her visits. She spends so much time with our cats and they are always so happy to see her! She is fabulous with their food, litter, and medicine. I would 100% recommend her!”
About: Certified "Fur Grammy" and the go-to for any pet related questions. I have been caring for not only my own but my kids dogs for as long as I can remember. I have fostered just about any pet including goats, sheep, ponies, dogs... I love all animals (maybe more than humans, shh!) and my life has always revolved around pets. My current household includes a 9 year old male mutt, Diddy. He is friendly and playful but appreciates his snuggle time as well. Have experience with various breeds including Bullies, St Bernards, Spaniels, you name it ! I am very flexible and available for any pet needs. My pup rarely goes more than 2 hours alone, if ever, and neither will your dog. I have a fenced in yard, that has been safe for 13 sheep, 2 goats, a pony and 4 dogs all at one time. I live next to expansive conservation land with a wonderful trail through the woods for the dogs. We truly feel our home is the perfect set up for pets & have homed & baby sat & fostered many wonderful animals here. I hope to add your pet to that list!
“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”

Special skills in doggy CPR, and experience in medicating dogs when needed. I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to work from home as well when needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
Shannon was great with our mini dachshund Lainey! She was very responsive, took the time to come meet Lainey before her first official booking and made sure to ask all the right questions about how to best care for our pup. Would highly recommend and would absolutely book with Shannon again!
We’ve used Jacqueline for weekly visits for about 18 months and she has exceeded all expectations. She’s prompt, great communication both from our home and between visits, and she genuinely cares about animals. We have an English bulldog that requires lots of attention and Jaqueline delivers!! Absolutely would recommend Jacqueline for your pet care.
I booked last minute with Kelly, and she was fantastic with Benny. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent pictures and updates throughout, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!

Before booking, confirm:
- 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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 .
