“Mikayla was awesome! She is professional and you can feel secure knowing that your animals are well taken care of! She is also very responsive and detailed. She will take great care of your pets!”

About: I have been a dog mom for two years. I trained my puppy on leash, commands, and crate. I have taken care of a senior dog that needed extra care. I have a very playful personality and love dogs. There happiness comes first. I work remote for my job on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have flexibility throughout the day to do chores or dog walk/sit. Weekends are very flexible for my schedule. As a dedicated per sitter, I provide loving and reliable care for your pets, whether in the comfort of your home or mine. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by giving their pets the best care possible, tailored to there individual needs.
About: Hi, I’m Johanna! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including those with special diets, medical needs, and activity restrictions. Because of that, I’m confident in providing both loving companionship and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I share my home with my dog, Hank, who absolutely loves being around other dogs. He’s gentle, friendly, and always happy to have a playmate. Whether your pup is high-energy and looking for fun or prefers a calmer, slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is to give every dog the same love and attention I would want for Hank. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid work schedule so if you’d prefer me to be home while watching your dogs that can be accommodated. For the days that I do have to go into the office it is within 30 minutes and typically is only for 3-6 hours per day. Though I do not have a fenced in yard I believe in taking my dog Hank on multiple walks throughout the day to supplement this! We do have a grassy area across from our driveway that I love to throw his ball for him at so if your dog is good off leash there are ways to get exercise around. There is a dog park within 15 minutes of my home and I love taking my dog there and your dog can tag along if you’d like!
About: My family has had a dog that I’ve loved to take care of and spend time with since I was 8. Also I would take care of my family’s dog since friends’ dog whenever they were out of town as a kid. I’m currently back for the summer from college so I have lots of time to take care of pets both overnight and during the day. I won’t be able to take pets into my home but can go to the owners house night or day. If for any reason you don’t have a leash or dog treats or something along those lines I’ll be able to bring it.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. Nothing would make me happier than a chance to get to know your precious pets and care for them like they’re my own! I currently work full time but with flexible hours. Typically, mornings and evening visits are best during the week but my weekends are wide open. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood a short walk from a large park with many trails and nature to explore. My place is full of sunshine that pets can bask in.

About: I have owned dogs most of my upbringing and early adulthood. I now have more free time to help others take care of their dogs without worry. I work a part time waitressing job, mostly in the afternoons. So I am free all day long while you are at work. I am able to flex and change my schedule for you! I am free to watch your dogs in your home so your animal knows its environment is safe. I am also free to just pop over and take your dog for a long walk.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds and reptiles. I would care for your pet like it was my own. I love nature and animals. My pets are part of the family and I know it's difficult to trust someone else with a beloved pet. I am available most nights and weekends. If you work odd hours then I can help out and make sure your pet is cared for. I treat every pet like a member of the family. I would make sure they feel comfortable and secure and know it takes time to grow trust.
About: I have a wide range of skills when it comes to dog care! I have taken care of dogs big and small since I was 14, and have had at least one dog in my life for my entire life! I currently work full time, so I am available for drop ins and walks in the morning before 7am, and in the evening/night after 6:30pm! I will provide adequate and loving care to your fur baby, depending on what their need or affection level is! Walks, belly rubs, and play time are a few of the ways I can aid to your dogs needs!
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.
About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life and being in college far from home I don't get to see my dog as much so any chance to hangout with some puppies count me in! I have class Tuesday and Thursday morning and most nights, and practice from 1-4 usually but other than that I am free to come drop in or take dogs for walks! I always let them sniff me and get to know me, and I try to use a very inviting and calm voice when getting to know the dogs. I am used to having pretty big dogs my whole life so they don't frighten me and a lot of times they think they are the puppies!

“Elyse met up with us at it home to get a general lay of the land; to see what we needed and it turns out that she is a super wonderful woman. We had her come by to make sure our super shy cat, Anne Bonny, was fed. Now, I hardly see this cat and she loves me, but on day one, Anne Bonny was rolling over and letting Elyse rub her belly! I'm hoping that Elyse is available every time we need to go out of town!”


About: I would love to take care of your fur baby🐶🐾 I truly believe our pets are our family, and they deserve to be treated with patience, love, and attention. I’ve grown up with huskies and understand their energy, intelligence, and big personalities. I had a husky growing up, and now I rescued one of my own — so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, structure, and staying active. I’m also a foster mom, which has given me experience with dogs of different temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. Caring for foster dogs has taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to make every dog feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs — from small Yorkie/Shih Tzus to big Labs. I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, and other basic care needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable and attentive hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine! I currently work in the service industry, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. My usual days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays, which allows for extended availability those days. On most other days, I’m available for morning walks and check-ins if you reach out in advance. Since I already have an active routine with my own dog, adding walks and care for your pup fits in perfectly. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to find times that work best for both of us! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with care, respect, and plenty of love. My husky has gone through several training courses, so I’m used to teaching commands, helping with training, and teaching new tricks when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I create a calm and positive environment, supervise them closely, and adapt to each pet’s personality. You can trust that your furry family member will be in loving hands! 🐾

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Afton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Afton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
