About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
“This kind individual agreed to help with my dogs VERY last minute as a “friend” ditched. She let them out and let them do their own things. I am so appreciate of her!!! Great sitter!! Will definitely use again ❤️”
“Miranda is awesome! My German shepherd puppy is vary wary of new people, and he was best friends with her after the first day. She's made sure he's well exercised, fed, and happy. She is very good about communicating and sending pictures/videos of my dog whenever she visits so I can see how he's doing. She's got a lot of experience so she's been able to give me some pointers/tips that have really helped out.”
About: Hi pet parent! 🐶✨ Looking for someone who will treat your dog like family (and not just a quick drop-in)? You found her. 💁♀️🐾. Hable Español también si necesitan ayuda en español. I’m a dog loving sitter with real, hands on experience not just someone who “likes animals.” I’ve worked in an animal shelter for 2 years and fostered dogs for over a year, so I’ve handled everything from wild zoomies to shy, nervous pups who need extra patience. Big dogs? ✔️ High energy? ✔️ Anxious or shy? ✔️ Strong personalities? ✔️ (honestly… my specialty 😂) I know how to read dog body language, catch subtle behavior changes, and handle situations calmly and confidently. Your dog isn’t just safe with me they’re understood. 🐾 AND YES! CAT PARENTS, YOU’RE COVERED TOO 🐱 While dogs are my main focus, I’ve also worked with cats in the shelter, so I’m comfortable with feline care as well. I understand their boundaries, personalities, and routines I just won’t pretend I’m not a little more obsessed with dogs 😌 🐾 WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT? • I don’t just “watch” dogs I engage with them • I match their energy (playtime, structure, or chill time) • Patient with nervous pets, structured with high-energy ones • I follow routines closely so your pet feels at home 🐶 A TYPICAL DAY Walks, playtime, belly rubs, and making sure your pup is living their best life while you’re away. 📸 Expect LOTS of photo and video updates because I know you’ll miss them (and I will too). 🕒 FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE I’m home often and only step out for short periods, so your pet gets plenty of attention not hours alone. If you want someone reliable, experienced, and just the right amount of obsessed with dogs (with bonus cat knowledge 😉)… I’m your person 🐾💕 🐶 A TYPICAL DAY Walks, playtime, belly rubs, and making sure your pup is living their best life while you’re away. 📸 Expect LOTS of photo and video updates because I know you’ll miss them (and I will too). 🕒 FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE I’m home often and only step out for short periods, so your pet gets plenty of attention not hours alone. 🐾 Safe. Trusted. Stress-Free. • Constant supervision & no unsupervised chaos • Calm, structured environment • Attentive to routines, behavior, and comfort • Secure home with separated spaces when needed Your pet will always feel safe, seen, and cared for 💕
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.
“Grant has been absolutely wonderful. He has taken care of my dog Marty for months now and we both have been super pleased with his professionalism! He has gone above and beyond for me and I will continue his services when I get back from Minnesota! If you are looking for a skilled, punctual, competent expert in the sitter field look no further. Thank you so so much for your services!!!”
“We had a great experience with Michelle! She dropped in twice daily for a few days to care for our two dachshunds and even took the time to meet them beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. The dogs absolutely adored her, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be using Michelle again in the future!”
About: I have been petting sitting for multiple years now, as well as growing up in an animal-loving home. I also have experience with giving fur friends medication when necessary. I am currently a college student, and have the mid-afternoons free to come check in on your furry friends! I also work part-time and work mostly at night during weekdays. I get off around 10:00, and can come swing by after work or stay the night. My weekends are fully open, so any time of day works for me to come spend some time with your pets!! I am very big on communication with my clients, letting them know when I arrive and leave, and also just taking pictures and updating clients throughout the time I am caring for their fur kids.
About: Welcome to my Rover! I’m 26 years old and a lifelong animal lover. Growing up, I had the most amazing boxer rescue named Duke, and through my teenage years and young adulthood another rescue Munson, who was a black lab/pit bull mix. Currently mom to two fur babies Dexter and Koda, a black cat and a tuxedo cat. Aside from my primary occupation, I’m a very active person and love being outside. I’m a lifelong animal shelter volunteer and have worked with animals from newborn to elderly, perfect health to less than, anxiety, etc. I understand the obligations of everyday pet parents and am more than happy to meet and provide top tier care and support for your fur babies! I am currently working out a full-time schedule as I work remotely and am offering short-term care for the time being. All drop-ins, walks, and sittings will be accepted case by case. Will update when I move to a more regular schedule! The trust required to invite a sitter into your home and around your fur babies is paramount, and as a professional, your home becomes my office and will be treated with the utmost respect. I tend to leave a home cleaner than I found it, and follow instructions to a T, so please do not hesitate to let me know how I can best care for your fur babies and your home while I'm in service!
About: I have grown up with and around animals for the last 19 years, my family, friends, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, and let there dogs out while they are out of town and to feed and take care of their cats. The nickname my family and friends gave me was Snow White because animals always seem to be drawn to me. Within my 19 years I have had 10 cats, 7 dogs, 1 ferret, 2 bunnies, 5 fish, 3 frogs, 3 lizards. This show the wide spectrum of how many different animals I learned to take care of over the years. I am currently not working and just doing school work online so I have plenty of time to hangout and play with your dogs or cats. I am free to sit and hangout with them any time of the day or any time on the weekends If your pet requires any walks I am more than happy to do it for as long as they need or want, ensuring the weather is fit for their comfortably, making sure they are in a safe area. If your pet requires any special care or meal prep just let me know and I will be more than glad to fulfill those needs. I am not afraid to play in the dirt, I’ll bond with your fur baby how ever they wish, following the pace of their choosing.

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 Alexander 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 Alexander with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
