About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.
About: Are you looking for someone to take your dog on walks while you’re away? I’m your girl! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have a lot of free time and would love to help take care of your dog. I’m currently working part time and a stay at home mom, so I’m able to pickup shifts easily to help take care of your pets! Please let me know if you’re looking for someone dependable and available! In the clients home, I care for pets the same way I’d care for them if they were my own- with love and attention. The owners knows best as well, so I love a detailed list of instructions when caring for a pet the first time.
About: I've taken care of cats for years and I love taking care of dogs as well. My most recent pet is my bunny named Boo! I am a part time online student and work mostly on weekends. My schedule is pretty flexible depending on the level of care your pet needs. I cant currently care for pets in my home, so I would come to your house to visit your pet! We would workout what kind of schedule he/she needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets . “I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available for dog walks throughout the day and can provide overnight pet sitting when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.” “I have one friendly dog of my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I provide attentive, loving care and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority.”
“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”
About: As a Best Friends Animal Society employee🐶, my love for animals bleeds into everything I do. I also work with the local shelters to socialize new animals and manage adoption headshots upon intake. I’ll always take plenty of cute photos of your pet(s) throughout our days together! I work-from-home full time, and have lots of daytime flexibility for lunch time snuggles🐱 and walks🐶, in addition to helping out during your long vacations! I will follow your preferences on crate time, dog park socialization, feeding schedules, and anywhere in between. Our pets love their individual preferences and routines! A neutral public space is key to a successful first meet-and-greet so animals don’t feel territorial of their home and safe spaces.
“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs since I was 14 years old. I have a Doberman now and went through all levels of dog training courses I just graduated from GVSU and I’m planning to travel end of August. I just want a part time job doing something I love until then. I will be respectful of your house and take care of your pet exactly how you would like. I love being around dogs and keeping them company.

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 Alto 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
