“Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for a week plus! She is a lovely person - the kitty (and my granddaughter and I) liked her from the get go. She is utterly dependable - you can just about set your watch by her visits. She is flexible - I had to extend her visits twice, at the last minute, and she graciously rolled with it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone and will definitely reach out to her next time we need help with our kitty!”
About: Hi! I’m Shun, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with three wonderful pets, and I’ve always felt that animals have a special way of communicating if you take the time to understand them. As someone who enjoys gardening, beekeeping, and spending time outdoors, I naturally love caring for animals and creating a calm environment. Weekends are dedicated to giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I currently offer weekend pet care, so your furry family member will have plenty of attention while you’re away. My home is calm, safe, and perfect for relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. I believe every pet should feel like they’re on their own little vacation while their family is gone. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help give you peace of mind by bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, alternating lights, and checking on your home if requested. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently offer pet care on weekends, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pet while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and house rules to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I also believe in open communication and will send regular updates and photos throughout their visit. I only accept a limited number of bookings so every pet receives the individual attention they deserve.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 13. I’ve been taking care of dogs typically for three years I currently have three dogs myself. I just love everything about animals. I’m currently working part time and will be available to care for your pet most of the time I am willing to walk, sit, board and anything else you would like me to do for your animal. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a yard. I currently have two adult dogs, one Pug and one golden doodle and recently have gotten a one year old puppy so your pet will be more than welcome in home. I take my dogs out once every 2 to 3 hours to keep them on the schedule as I will with your dog.
“Ashley was absolutely incredible! She took care of our two dogs and two cats like they were her own. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving, responsible hands. She followed all our instructions perfectly, gave us regular updates, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and it showed in every interaction. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with Ashley again!”
“I rebooked with Savannah and Dakota and wasn’t disappointed. Such great communicators and willing to go the extra mile for my boys—didn’t hesitate to find a great show to entertain them when I asked.”
About: i've cared for pets since i was born. i was always the go to when someone gave away an animal or just needed help caring for one. from cats and dogs to rabbits and even rehabilitating a baby squirrel! pet care doesn’t just “fit” into my routine, it’s a way of life! i love getting active with my own dog everyday in many ways, including walks and swimming trips! I have a large yard and a sweet baby of my own. I have an extra large kennel if needed, although I would only use it if requested!!
“Thank you Shiloh! She accommodated our pups last minute and gave them attentive and affectionate care. They were happy when we came home and she gave us peace of mind while we were gone. She went the extra mile for their comfort and is a sweet and generous person.”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.
About: I am a very outgoing, open minded person. I’ve had a variety of pets from childhood until now. I love animals, and am very excited to meet and care for new friends. We have a gated backyard outside my home for quick potty breaks and playtime! I am currently a part time student at LLCC but I am also working from home, so I'll be spending plenty of time with any guests. I usually wake up around 7am to get an early start for the day! Pets daily home routines don't change when they are staying here. I will always ask what their schedules look like if I am not specifically told.
About: I have grown up with pets and critters my entire life! Having labs, boarder collies, German shepherds, boxers and even a chihuahua growing up, I have been around a wide range of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have also grown up around livestock and other household pets, especially horses, and have been trusted to farm sit for families going on vacation who have a long list of pets they needed care for. I have experience with dogs of various energy levels, health concerns and behavioral concerns and strive to accommodate their specific situation the best I can! P.s. - I'm also a photographer and (obviously) adore dogs so you will probably (definitely) get pictures of your pup while you're away! I currently work from home and have rather flexible work hours so I can make almost any time work for visiting and walking your dogs! Whether it be a simple potty break in the backyard or a longer walk, I am happy to make it happen! I currently plan to offer walks and drop in visits but will eventually offer more services in the future. Safety for your dog is my top priority! During my time with them, I plan to closely follow your directions for their specific needs and preferences. I am happy to walk them (or let them out) in the areas you have allotted and return them to the area you prefer them to be left in, whether that be crated or not. I have been around many dogs with various needs and am happy to accommodate to your pups situation!
About: I always took care of my family’s pets. But now I want to do that for more people. I know how important is to have someone that you can trust your pet and I am here to help. I offer a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, pet sitting or companionship at various times throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry family member. I can easily adapt to stay one day or night at my client house if that is possible or necessary. And walk around with them.
“I was in serious need of someone to care for my babies while I was out of state/country. Google sent me to Rover. I took the chance and signed up. I am SO glad that I did! I’m super picky about our menagerie, 2 dogs and 11 cats, but Jenny handled them wonderfully, even trouble shooting an electrical issue with our fans! One of my babies had an ear issue and Jenny took him to the vet for us! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. Pets are like family and should be treated accordingly. I grew up with two adorable Winnie dogs named Brownie and Tootie, as well as two precious cats named Mr. Beans and Rosie. I treated them all as my babies and cherished them dearly. When it comes to caring for your pet, I promise to give it the same love and affection. I will provide plenty of treats, and of course plenty of hugs and kisses. Your pet is welcome on my furniture, and they'll always receive a warm welcome. I accept same day and last min bookings! I have plenty of time for your pets with an open schedule. My schedule is open all hours for your needs. I also have my phone on me at all times. I have a crate if needed and lots of toys and treats to provide as well as attention and love. You’re in good hands with me!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alexandria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
