“She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.
“Monica was great with our pups and was very timely and communicative. Our pups were so comfortable with her immediately as if they’ve already met. We’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks, Monica!”
“Cheyanne took good care of Shelby, Windsor, and Regina George. She completed the drop-in visits, followed our feeding instructions, and sent photo updates throughout the weekend. After an address mix-up at the start, she still came to the correct house and took care of the dogs. They were well looked after.”
About: I give personalized care, puppy training support, and gentle senior care—all with lots of love, attention, and updates you can count on. I will love and spoil your dog like my own two. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship—not long hours alone. Walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks are easily built into our schedule, and I love including dogs in our home. I have a fenced yard and two Boston Terriers who love to play to keep your fur baby occupied. But they also love to sleep if your pup enjoys that. I have two girls who love animals and will love to help care for your babies. We are home most of the time we also provide care.

About: Hi I'm Roxi, I have a 14year old red dandy Dachshund named Zoë who loves to burrow under my blankets and pillows. I have to tap my sheets everytime to make sure I don't squish her when I want to jump in my own bed!! She gets so much time outside to the point it's boring for her to go out. Whenever I open the door for her to bust out running, she'll simply just lay down and soak up the sun. She loves getting petted and getting attention from other people other than her real huMom. Please let me walk your fur baby so we can make their daily step goals!!!🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩 I enjoy making pet care a natural part of my routine in between my home visits as a nurse.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Acton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
