“This was our first time using Rover and Wade was exemplary! We arrived home and our cats were contented and our house was in great shape. Wade skillfully navigated a power outage and some additional tasks and we felt he truly went “above and beyond”. We will definitely book him again when we go out of town”
About: I have been a dog sitter for my aunt who has had up to 3 dogs at one time. I am really good with animals and love spending time and playing with them. I own 3 dogs and 1 cat who I love with all my heart. I also have helped raise a puppy and own a dog over 12 years old I do not have another job. I typically bowl on Thursday and Sundays at 6:30 and also play soccer Sundays at 4. Other than that unless plans come up I am free At my home I have a fenced in yard. I also love playing with animals and using that as a way to keep them calm and collected inside the home.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life - from caring for my own pets (including the ones rescued outside) to helping friends and family with theirs. I treat every pet as if it were my own. I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family, so I send regular updates with photos, so you never have to wonder how they are doing. As a teacher, I'm available in the early mornings and again from early afternoons into the evening. I'm always on the go as a mom with kids' sports and activities, so I'm used to juggling a detailed schedule and staying organized. That means I can easily plan pet visits, walks, and playtime around your pet's needs, making sure they get consistent care and attention every day. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions - feeding schedules, walk times, play routines, and any special needs - so your pet's day feels familiar and stress free. I keep their environment tidy, ensure doors and gates are secure, and send regular updates with photos so you know they're happy and safe. My goal is for you to return home to a content pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up actively involved in their daily care, from feeding and walking to helping with training and routines. This lifelong experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also helped care for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, as well as dogs who need a calmer, more patient approach. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care is already built into my daily routine since I’m home throughout the day and care for my own dog. I maintain a consistent schedule with outings every 4 hours, along with regular feeding, walks, and playtime. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs receive plenty of attention and are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m also flexible and can adjust routines to meet each dog’s specific needs, whether that’s more frequent breaks, extra exercise, or a slower pace. I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and plenty of space for walks. I treat every dog like my own and take the time to quickly learn their routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve spent over 18 years caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own.

About: Im reliable, caring, and experienced with both playful puppies and senior pets. Each pet gets my full attention, gentle care, and lots of love every time! As a nursing student, I do my best to fit pet care into my daily routine. Caring for others, pets included!, is something I naturally strive to do, even with a busy schedule. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or the client’s. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of play, love, and attention. I keep their space clean, safe, and comfortable, and always communicate with owners to keep them updated.
“This is the second year using Terese for drop in visits throughout the week. She is so responsive to all texts and provides such great photos of our girl during her visits!”

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

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.
